The New "subscription business model": Have you completely succumbed to it yet?
In my view, Gamma's view, the subscription model is based upon the TAPEWORM model...which is unsustainable: This subscription model is based upon the Mafia Model of paying the VIG..... Most guys here, I guess, do not know about VIGORISH....or JUICE...but.... Here is what this means: The best way to protect one's income, into the future, and forever, is to keep the vig going...... The Subscription Model which has now been accepted comes out of the underworld. And, in Nature, even before Man, there was the TAPEWORM..... Tapeworms, like the Subscription Model, will suck you dry....if you allow this to happen. (Of course, in Pattaya, being sucked dry, might take on a much happier meaning....but this rarely happens with most subscriptions.) -

Thai F-16 Fighters Intercept Myanmar Jet in Airspace Breach
F-16 file photo courtesy: Wikipedia In a swift response to a potential security threat yesterday, two F-16 fighters from the Thai air force were deployed to intercept an unidentified aircraft intruding into Thai airspace. This incident occurred over Popphra district in Tak province, which borders Myawaddy township in Myanmar. The alert was raised at around 11 a.m. when radar systems detected the aircraft entering Thai airspace at an altitude of 4,000-5,000 feet. The air force's interception flight control promptly ordered the F-16s to take off from their base at Wing 4 in Takhli district, Nakhon Sawan province. The fighters ascended to 7,000 feet, on a mission to identify and potentially ward off the intruding jet. The quick deployment underscores the air force's readiness to protect national sovereignty and the integrity of Thailand’s airspace, as stressed by ACM Prapass Sonjai, the air force spokesman. "The rapid interception underscores our capability to respond to threats and ensure security for our citizens near border areas," he stated. Upon reaching the location, the Thai jets discovered that the intruding aircraft had vanished from radar screens. Concluding the initial phase of their mission, the F-16s continued to patrol the border region until returning safely to base at 12:14 p.m. While the aircraft's origin remains officially unidentified, this incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding airspace violations and regional tensions. The interception demonstrates Thailand's proactive stance in safeguarding its airspace, particularly along volatile border areas where incursions, whether accidental or deliberate, pose severe security risks. Such operations are critical in maintaining regional peace and stability, showcasing Thailand’s capabilities and commitment to defending its boundaries. It's pivotal for the Thai air force to remain vigilant and prepared for any future breaches that could escalate into broader conflicts. As the incident demonstrated no immediate threat, diplomatic channels may play a role in addressing and preventing future airspace violations, potentially easing tensions between neighbouring nations. This event spotlights the continuing necessity for robust air defense mechanisms and international cooperation to prevent misunderstandings that could lead to more significant regional issues. The air force's decisive action reflects its vital role in national security, promising steadfast protection of the airspace across Thailand, reported Thai Newsroom. -- 2024-12-21 -

Three-Vehicle Collision Leaves 8 Injured, 2 in Critical Condition
Picture from responders, CCTV below. A shocking three-vehicle collision at an unmarked intersection in Ban Din Sai On, Hua Na Subdistrict, Mueang District, Nong Bua Lamphu , has left eight people injured, with two in critical condition. The incident, captured on CCTV, occurred at approximately 14:10 on December 20. The footage, shared by the Facebook page “Chonburi Breaking News (Local Newsroom),” shows a white car driving straight through the intersection, while a bronze pickup truck approaches from the left, forming a T-shaped traffic flow. Simultaneously, a third vehicle arrives, creating a chaotic moment where all three vehicles collide violently in the center of the crossroads. The post described the scene, stating, “#NongBuaLamphu A three-vehicle collision at Ban Din Sai On intersection has resulted in eight injuries, two critically. One individual required CPR. Everything happened so fast.” The intersection, known locally as a “judgment crossing” due to its lack of traffic signals or warning lights, proved hazardous as the three vehicles arrived at the same time, leading to a devastating crash. The impact was so severe that some occupants were ejected from their vehicles. Emergency responders confirmed that eight people sustained injuries, two of whom are in critical condition. One individual required CPR at the scene before being transported to a nearby hospital. The lack of traffic signals at the intersection is believed to have been a significant factor in the crash. Local authorities are investigating the incident and considering safety measures to prevent similar accidents in the future. This tragic event serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by unregulated intersections and the importance of vigilance on the roads. -- 2024-12-21 Caution CCTV contains images of casualties being injected from vehicles.
