Pattaya Neighbours Rush to Help as Tumble Dryer Sparks Fire
Picture from responders. Residents of a housing estate in Bang Lamung, Chonburi, were left in shock when a tumble dryer caught fire, sending smoke billowing through the area. Neighbours rushed to assist in extinguishing the flames before emergency services arrived. The incident occurred at 21:00 on 16 March at Ekmongkol 4 Village, Khao Talo Soi, Nong Prue subdistrict. Firefighters and rescue personnel from Pattaya City Disaster Prevention Unit and the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation were swiftly dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, emergency responders found a two-storey house with smoke pouring from the ground floor. Residents of the estate were visibly shaken, with many having already attempted to douse the flames using water and fire extinguishers. The source of the fire was identified as a tumble dryer, which had been in use before it suddenly started to emitted smoke. The owner of the house reported that flames quickly spread from the appliance, but fortunately, alert neighbours responded to cries for help and managed to control the fire before it engulfed the home. Firefighters ventilated the house to clear the smoke and conducted an inspection. The tumble dryer was severely damaged, and some household items were also affected by the fire. Authorities suspect the cause to be an electrical short circuit within the appliance, but a thorough investigation will be conducted to confirm the exact reason for the incident. Officials praised the quick response of neighbours, which prevented further damage and ensured no injuries were reported. They also urged homeowners to regularly inspect electrical appliances to prevent similar occurrences in the future. -- 2025-03-18 -

US deploys “overwhelming lethal force” against Houthis in Yemen
I had great hopes for Trump this time, but he's losing the plot when it comes to the M E. When will the US learn that they can't win there, short of total war and the deaths of millions, as with Germany and Japan. The US hasn't won a major war since WW2, whether directly as in Korea ( armistice ), Vietnam ( where they were defeated by a bunch of peasants ) or in Afghanistan, ( defeated by a bunch of peasants ), or by proxy as in Ukaraine or that other conflict where their ally can't defeat a bunch of lightly armed irregulars. Trump avoided wars the first time by diplomacy, and I was hoping for a repeat, but he's very warmongerish this time. IMO the M E is where western nation's wars always end up in a humiliating withdrawal. -

Motorcyclist Killed in Crash on Dark Overpass as Residents Demand Streetlight Repairs
Picture from responders. A 28-year-old man was killed in a motorcycle crash on a poorly lit overpass in Pathum Thani, reigniting local frustration over the authorities’ failure to repair streetlights that have been out for years. The crash occurred at approximately 21:30 on 16 March on the Lat Lum Kaeo Ring Road Overpass heading towards the Nopphawong Intersection in Khu Bang Luang subdistrict, Lat Lum Kaeo district. Emergency responders arrived at the scene to find a black Honda Wave 125 motorcycle overturned, with the rider, identified as Anansak Phonmoh, 28, deceased at the scene. Local resident Preecha Kheawbamrung, a former assistant village head, revealed that the streetlights along the Pathum–Lat Lum Kaeo Road had been out for years, despite multiple complaints to the local highway department. “The entire stretch of road, including the overpass, is in complete darkness,” he said. “We’ve reported this issue many times, but no repairs have been made. The lack of visibility has led to frequent accidents, with both injuries and fatalities.” He added that streetlights along both sides of Highway 9 (Kanchanaphisek Road) had also been non-functional for a long time, making the area particularly dangerous for motorists, especially motorcyclists navigating junctions and merging lanes in the dark. The victim’s grieving wife arrived at the crash scene in tears. She explained that her husband worked as a maintenance technician for an automotive parts manufacturer in Lat Lum Kaeo. On the night of the crash, he had finished an overtime shift and returned home, only to realise he had left his mobile phone at work. He had set out on his motorcycle to retrieve it when the crash occurred. “I got a call from one of his colleagues telling me he had been in an accident,” she sobbed. “I never imagined this would be the last time I saw him.” Officers from Khu Bang Luang Police Station, along with experts from Lat Lum Kaeo Hospital, conducted an initial investigation at the scene. CCTV footage from the area is being reviewed to determine the exact cause of the crash. Authorities have transferred the victim’s body to the Forensic Science Institute at the Ministry of Justice, where it will be examined before being released to his family for funeral arrangements. Local residents are now renewing their calls for urgent streetlight repairs, fearing more lives will be lost if authorities continue to ignore their pleas. -- 2025-03-18 -

Is Earth round or flat ?
The presented footage warrants speculation, and differs radically from the depictions we are given. There is a big difference between this (Mars, courtesy of NASA): And this: The core issue is the relevance and reliability of NASA. The below footage captures Venus with a Nikon P900. Does this look anything like the Venus you have been shown since you were a child? NASA depiction: Captured with Nikon P900: Venus.mp4
