A light bulb just exploded in my office. Why do bulbs explode here but not in the USA?
Has an incandescent light bulb ever exploded when you turn on the light?

Little Minds come from Minuscule Screens?: Ever wonder what's wrong with kids today?
Thank you, Sir! In my most humble opinion, you are just about the ONLY one that really feels me pain. I now have an A55 5G budget phone....which is fine for me....because it has 12GB of RAM....and I can increase storage memory to One Terabytes.... (I have 256 GBytes as purchased. Plus, I can add plenty more just using Micro SD cards.....up to One TByte....). So, this budget phone is DYNAMITE for me, because I do not waste my time playing FING games on a phone, or anywhere else, for that matter. I just wonder, though, how many here on the TV Farang Pub have ever tried editing a 150-page PhD thesis/dissertation, on a smartphone. Sure, I guess it can be done. And, I have known of one PhD candidate at CMU who composed his entire thesis on a phone....BUT....of course....the thesis was ENTIRE GARBAGE....as expected..... What a NUT CASE this PhD candidate was. And now.... He is teaching at CMU.... Total Disastrous Joke.....of a thesis, in fact..... (Also, pedantic has heck....and STILTED as all get out, too!!!!!) This is what is bound to happen when one composes a 150-page thesis on a smartphone....when....one has enough smarts to fill no more than about 20 pages with original thinking..... Need I go on......???? -

Woman and Filipino Boyfriend Hospitalised After Consuming Cannabis-Infused Cookies
Yep. Who knows how many or how much they had eaten and had they been drinking alcohol. Guess is they fell asleep or passed out as you say. Yep sometimes the brain's had enough and shut's you down. Also the strain of dope can come into play. Sometimes it might be an ultra relaxed sleepy type. One things for sure it didn't just come on and they became unconscious. Doesn't work like that. As for unknowingly consuming them you can't exactly buy these at 711. -

Do you choose where things go in your house?
Spouse and I work together but I do most of the furniture arrangement and I design the custom built-in furniture for our projects, with his input. I am a firm believer in 'a place for everything and everything in its place.' I am also a believer in 'form follows function'--and trumps feng shui. From your description, your living space needs improvement. I suggest you take your girlfriend and tour some decorated model homes or condos. I think you both need to be educated a bit in furniture placement and how rooms function--or don't. Show houses and condos usually have good design elements and good use of space. If you see a room you like, snap some photos with your phone--tell them you're touring a lot of projects and want to remember this one to circle back to and maybe purchase. These tours will give you some idea of what is possible. Take a hard look at your space and how you spend your time in it--then choose furniture and an arrangement of it that best fits your needs. If you like to watch a lot of tv, for example, design your space for comfortable tv viewing. That would include facing the tv directly with a comfortable sofa, side tables at hand for drinks/popcorn, and the tv at a good size, viewing height, and distance from the sofa. It sounds like you need to start over with where your tv is placed. Power cord management is important--both for safety and looks. If you have a power cord snaking across a room, that indicates poor design. Usually a design can be rearranged to eliminate this. For those planning a new construction or renovation, think about where you will need outlets and light switches before you begin. Have a furniture plan in mind, if possible, and note where furniture needing power outlets will be placed. At our current project, I knew we would likely be floating an electric 3-seat sofa recliner in the middle of the living room, so I made sure there was a power outlet built into the floor right where the sofa would sit. The power cords for the sofa, and also a floor lamp next to the sofa, are hidden under the sofa, rather than visibly, and unsafely, snaking across a walkway to a wall outlet. We also have a home office space with custom built-in furniture so we planned for power outlets to be where we needed them for a printer in a cabinet, table lamps, computer, etc. Do as much planning as you possibly can before construction. If a place is messy, it's usually one of two things--messy people living there or not enough storage to put everything away. If you fall into the latter, start with getting rid of junk you don't need and then look at ways to increase your storage for what's left. Stuff sitting all over the top of the microwave? Look for a small, counter storage unit that fits around the microwave and provides some storage to neaten things up. There are lots of storage selections for everything you need to store on Lazada and also at places like Index and Home Pro. Look for ways to add storage. If your armoires don't go to the ceiling, large wicker baskets can be put on top of them to store things like Christmas decorations, extra linens, household/hardware stuff, etc. Big, round wicker baskets with lids are also useful for storage if you have a free corner in a room. IKEA makes big, rectangular upholstered ottomans with lids that store quite a lot. We've used them several times. Put a big tray on top and you have a coffee table that doubles as a foot stool--with storage to boot. Bathrooms often don't have enough storage but usually there is space for a small cabinet with drawers to slot under a wall sink. If you have counter space, small baskets are also good to neatly organize the toiletries scattered all over the counter into one easy to get to container. Life is short. A nice, comfortable, well-designed place to live is important. Believe me when I say you will feel better, and live better, in a space you have taken some time to design to fit your needs. Get started and good luck. -

Bangkok Authorities Issue Rabies Warning After Infected Animal Found in On Nut Area
People get so sensitive about soi dogs, yet they do not hesitate to encourage the killing of pigs, cows and other animals for their own enjoyment and consumption. Isn't there a bit of hypocrisy there? If you eat animals, you are responsible for their slaughter. Now if you're a hunter and you slaughter and dress the animal yourself that is an action that has a bit more integrity. At least one can make an argument that the animals they eat serve a function. That argument cannot be made about the mangy, diseased, pestilent, sad, forlorn, abandoned soi dogs. They lead lives of desperation. If you love them show some commitment and adopt a few. Otherwise, let's get rid of them. Rabies is an epidemic here. And a series of rabies shots at a private hospital costs a small fortune. They shut down the economy for covid. They don't shut down the highways due to traffic deaths, and they don't do anything about the soi dog tragedy and dangers. -

Rachel Reeves Under Fire: Career Claims Spark Controversy
I can quite believe the frequent absences were due to suffering from hangovers after a night on the piss. Another lying politician, as the vast majority are... The stuff and scandal coming out of the woodwork now is getting better than the corrupt Tories, polls at a all time low, inflation and economy trashed...
