Car Bursts into Flames After Fuel System Change
Well done, that's one that you referenced out of 80,000 Bangkok taxis! -

SO who of you guys live in Thailand?
Your welcome. And Americans are the main reason you're not living under Nazi or Japanese rule. -

Royal Rainmaking Department Deploys Aircraft to Combat PM2.5 in Bangkok
.....and washed away with the rain into the drains.......leaving the air cleaner.....easy to understand with a brain cell. From Chat GTP Yes, rain naturally cleans the air of pollutants like dust, pollen, smoke particles, and even some gaseous pollutants through processes known as wet deposition and scavenging. Here’s how it works: 1. Mechanisms of Air Cleaning by Rain: 1. Washout (Rainout): • Process: Raindrops falling through the atmosphere collide with airborne particles (dust, soot, pollen). • The particles stick to the droplets and are carried down to the ground when the rain falls. • Effectiveness: Very effective at removing large particles and water-soluble pollutants. 2. Condensation Nuclei Removal: • Process: Pollutants, especially fine particles, often serve as nuclei around which water vapor condenses to form raindrops or cloud droplets. • Once the droplets grow large enough, they fall as rain, carrying the particles with them. • Example: Sulfates, nitrates, and other aerosols are effectively captured this way. 3. Gaseous Pollutant Absorption: • Process: Some gases, like sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), dissolve in raindrops, forming weak acids (e.g., sulfuric acid or nitric acid). • This contributes to acid rain, which removes the gases from the atmosphere but can damage ecosystems. 2. What Pollutants Are Removed? • Particulate Matter (PM): • Fine particles (PM2.5) and larger particles (PM10) including dust, smoke, and pollen. • Soluble Gases: • Sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and nitrogen oxides (NOₓ). • Organic Compounds: • Some volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can dissolve in raindrops. • Pollen and Biological Material: • Allergens like pollen grains are efficiently washed away. 3. Limitations of Rain Cleaning the Air: • Not Effective for Gases Like Carbon Monoxide (CO): • Insoluble gases, such as CO and methane (CH₄), are not easily absorbed by rain. • Temporary Effect: • Air pollution may rebuild quickly after the rain stops, especially in urban areas with heavy traffic and industrial activity. • Acid Rain Concerns: • Pollutants absorbed by rain may create acid rain, which can harm soil, water bodies, and vegetation. • Particle Size Matters: • Very fine particles (<0.1 microns) may remain suspended and not be captured effectively by raindrops. 4. Observations After Rain: • Cleaner Air and Fresher Smell: • After a heavy rain, the atmosphere often feels fresher due to the removal of dust and aerosols. • Reduced Visibility Hazards: • Haze caused by pollutants often disappears after rainfall. • Enhanced Plant Growth: • Dust-free leaves and dissolved nutrients can improve photosynthesis in plants. Conclusion: Rain is a natural cleanser for the air, effectively removing dust, pollen, and water-soluble pollutants. However, it’s not a perfect solution, as it cannot eliminate insoluble gases or ultrafine particles entirely. While rain temporarily improves air quality, persistent pollution sources may cause levels to rebound quickly. -

Ah yes, the Americans don’t do it for their own greed, they do it to help other countries. Thanks America -

SO who of you guys live in Thailand?
One reason I would love to visit but not live. The same goes for here. One reason I will take my daughter from here is the amount of venomous snakes that live here. I only hunt deer species, so that leaves out the rest there besides pigs which are a bane everywhere. Shoot a camel? lol -

Yes, Virginia, Donald J. Trump WILL be the first convicted felon to become U.S. president
I think it's safe to say that he'll not only be the first convicted felon, but he'll also be the first lifelong criminal, huckster, scam artist, and a man who's made billions off of defrauding small contractors and investors. Quite an honor for the leader of the nation. -

Helping other countries is one side only. Nothing is done purely for just helping other countries, it is in the interests of Usa, that's why! Many children have died unnecessary because of the price that have to be paid. True or not, we are more wiling to look at it with our own pink glasses when it suit us. As the children of Laos and Cambodia, and not to forget Vietnam. Sevaral countries being used in wars for what?- 1
