Russia Rejects Trump’s Peace Plan, Citing Zelensky’s Leadership as a Major Obstacle
I'm not sure what Trump's game is, at this point. Surely, he must know that Zelenskyy is problematic and needs to go. If I were Putin, I wouldn't agree to anything with Zelenskyy involved. Zelensky doesn't want peace. It's just that simple. Why pretend otherwise? -

Thai Health Ministry Issues Advice for "Earthquake Drunk" Symptoms
I was in the office Monday (high-rise) and did a walk round to inspect the obvious but minor damage to our site. I'll admit to being a bit twitchy for an hour or two but settled down soon enough. Quite a few Thai colleagues got swept up in Monday's mass unsubstantiated panic via social media, evacuated the building (via the lifts, of course 🙂) and took leave on Monday PM rather than stay in the office. Today more of my Thai colleagues returned back to the office and indeed, PEDZ seems to be the trending illness-du-jour. Interesting how Thais can be both so resilient at times and then equally as flaky at others... A quick Google indicates the Japanese have most commonly identified this condition in areas with major quakes followed by numerous significant after-shocks. The latter doesn't seem to apply in Thailand, unless sensitive folks that are on edge are picking up the numerous Myanmar after-shocks and others just aren't registering them. Two main factors are proposed (1) motion sickness - hardly seems likely to be long lasting in Thailand beyond a few minutes/hours after a 1 minute quake and (2) anxiety/panic - more likely. Advice includes avoiding doom scrolling and reading negative earthquake related news which may heighten anxiety. Presumably, that might include reading about PEDZ and feeding that into the anxiety feedback loop also 😉. -

Thai government reassures safety after Bangkok building collapse
I used to work in major concrete construction projects. I laughed when I read this line. 'Samples have already been collected for analysis, and preliminary results are expected within two or three days." During construction in safer places, independent agencies come and take sample of the concrete while it is being poured and after it dries for a certain time they do a compression test. If it fails then the poor measly workers like me had to take Air Hammers and destroy the entire structure that included that concrete. And it hell and often took days. That's the correct way to do this, not see if it falls down and then test it. And of course once they realize it was substandard, a few envelopes changing hands will ensure it is strong enough. NOT AFTER THE BUILING COLLAPSES!!!! -

Appeals Court confirms 2 years jail sentence to Danish resort manager
Wondering what he will do in the meantime? Make a runner? I would ask Thaksin or Yingluck how they escaped and left the country. Without a passport maybe difficult?😳 -

Trump derangement rehabilitation
I don't troll, I just react to a very small percentage of your unnecessarily pointless numerous posts.
