Watch: Biden Struggles to Navigate Delaware Beach & Stumbles Multiple Times
Do you mean the man that didn't take one day off in the election that won the electoral college, the popular vote, the Senate and the House? Not bad for someone with "a screw loose." As for Biden it's the Democrats that has kept him there and not invoke the 25th Amendment. BTW saying someone is in cognitive decline is not pulling the piss. It's an observation. An observation known globally. -

Bangkok's Air Quality Hits Red Alert: Hazardous PM2.5 Levels in 49 Districts
As dawn broke over Thailand's capital today, an invisible foe silently blanketed the city; hazardous levels of PM2.5 atmospheric pollutants crept across 49 of Bangkok's districts. The Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA) promptly rang alarm bells, cautioning residents about the health threatening pollution levels surpassing standard safety limits. This ominous revelation, reported at 7am, came as the GISTDA released data collated from cutting-edge satellite technology through their Check Dust application. Disturbingly, it revealed that the air residents inhaled across all but one of Bangkok's districts fell profoundly into a red zone, indicating severe pollution levels detrimental to individual health. Only the district of Nong Chok somewhat escaped, sitting in an orange zone that, while healthier, still poses significant concerns. The upshot? Everyone was advised to sport masks outside, limiting exposure to potentially respiratory disease-inducing air. Always on the side of caution, GISTDA also pointed the public towards their Check Dust application to get real-time updates on air quality and PM2.5 levels. The app, available on both iOS and Android platforms, empowers people to keep tabs on air quality, irrespective of their location. In a parallel narrative, Bangkok has recently witnessed a startling spike in PM2.5 pollution levels. This surge led to 35 regions registering unhealthy air quality, a move that had City Hall bustling. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) initiated immediate warnings, aiming to arm residents in their battle against an enemy as common as air—literally. PM2.5, a term for ultra-fine dust particles that can lodge deep into our lungs, had soared past the safe threshold of 37.5 micrograms per cubic metre (µg/m³) in various parts of Bangkok, according to data from AirBKK. Several districts, including Nong Khaem, Thon Buri, Klong Sam Wa, and Thawi Watthana endured severe pollution levels, plunging them into the range marked by the city as severely polluted. Even the Dusit area nudged past the safe limit. In these 35 vicinities, PM2.5 levels tipped over the brink, earning them an unwanted orange status on the pollution monitor. The rest of Bangkok, meanwhile, experienced only marginally better air quality—remaining firmly in the grip of moderate pollution. As the city continues its struggle for breathable air, here's a thought—against this silent adversary, every breath counts. File photo for reference only -- 2024-11-13 -

When Do The Thai Banks Set The ATM Exchange Rate For The Day?
If you use a US BANK DEBIY CARD inside the bank at a TELLER...do NOT use at the service desk,... you get a better rate than you get with a US BANK CREDIT CARD. DO NOT use either at a ATM. THE TELLER can deposit DIRECTLY into YOUR Thai bank account ( do NOT touch the money ) at the same bank for.best exchange rate. Use your Thai Bank Card to withdraw money ( THB ) usually 30,000bt, at the banks ATM when I exit the bank. This is the process I use at KRUNGSRI ( YELLOW BANK )
