Thermodynamically Speaking: Should I keep my house at a constant temp to save money?
Have you ever visited CM during the Smoking Season? The air stinks here....ALL THE TIME.....and.... This is the main reason I .... LOVE Chiang Mai. By the way..... Please tell me: When do we get good air, here....? As for whether it is better to maintain a constant temp or to close off rooms and then cool them up, every day....MY GUESS is that.... It is better, from an energy perspective to...just never turn off the ACs, and to keep them running. Try to maintain a constant temp, and this might be the best strategy for saving money due to slight power savings. Or, do you ACTUALLY have any evidence to the contrary? Because, this is what I was asking for. -

ALL VACCINES WILL KILL YOU - The evidence is overwhelming
Indeed. And that is why I think he is right to wage this battle in the battlespace as it exists, as it is probably the most efficient way to convey the message to the masses. As I said earlier (I believe it was in this thread), the paradigm change will probably have to come from within the HHS and the CDC themselves. The stars seem to be aligning… We will see. -

Politics National Parks Department Denies Sondhi’s Allegations over Multi-Million Baht Boat Purchases
Picture courtesy of Matichon. The Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) has issued an official statement firmly rejecting allegations made by Sondhi Limthongkul on his programme “SONDHI TALK” regarding the department’s procurement of patrol boats worth hundreds of millions of baht. The statement clarified that the purchases of boats were carried out strictly according to the Public Procurement and Supplies Administration Act B.E. 2560 (2017) and all relevant regulations. All procurement procedures, including price determination and terms of reference (TOR) specifications, were handled with the utmost transparency, focusing on operational efficiency and safety. The DNP detailed its recent boat procurement projects: • In the fiscal year 2024, the department purchased 26 motorboats, each at least 5.5 metres long and equipped with engines of at least 100 horsepower, at a total cost of 29,588,000 baht. These boats are already in use for water patrols and the protection of natural resources in national parks with water territories. • For the fiscal year 2025, the DNP is in the process of procuring 40 rigid inflatable boats with aluminium hulls, each over 6.6 metres long and powered by 140-horsepower engines, complete with trailers. This project has a budget of 112,000,000 baht and aims to enhance marine resource research, law enforcement, and visitor safety in marine national parks. The department also clarified past procurements, including: • The 2020 purchase of 14 rigid inflatable boats with a budget of 36,400,000 baht for marine research and patrol missions. • The procurement of nine fibreglass boats, each over 38 feet long with dual 300-horsepower engines and trailers, costing 67,500,000 baht. Refuting Sondhi’s claim that Thai Marine (Phuket) Co., Ltd. had participated in the bidding process, the DNP stated that no bid submissions from this company were found in its records. Furthermore, the department denied allegations that politicians had intervened to divert national park revenue for boat purchases. The DNP explained that all procurements are financed either through the annual national budget or through strictly regulated national park funds, following the department’s 2021 financial management regulations. Addressing further claims about the minister’s alleged close ties with a tour company operating boats in restricted areas, the DNP asserted that no private companies or individuals were granted special permission to enter protected zones. Any violations of protected area regulations are dealt with according to the law. The DNP reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, legality, and the sustainable protection and restoration of Thailand’s natural resources and environment, in line with the policies of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment under the Minister and the current government.

ALL VACCINES WILL KILL YOU - The evidence is overwhelming
It's easy to rationalise when using abstract notions and representations such as "extremly rare" vs. "overwhelmingly", etc. Empirical observations, however, show a somewhat different picture. This notion that "you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs" is problematic to say the least, when you actually have a look at the broken eggs. Watch a couple of testimonies of vaccine-injured people (roughly half an hour each), realise what is actually happening and imagine for a minute if this had happened to you or someone close to you. This is something the vaccine proponents have difficulty doing, in fact I have never managed to convince one to actually go there: it is much preferable and easier for them to remain in the realm of abstract notions and statistics. I encourage you to go on John Campbell's YouTube channel and watch the videos of Mel, Adam and Kyle (three cases among many more), and confront one of the undeniable facets of what you condone. These were young, healthy people before taking the Covid jab. Intellectual honesty demands that every aspect of an issue, even those we don't like or want to see, be taken into account before taking a stance. -

Most houses built in Thailand are inefficient, gaps in doors and windows, poor ceiling thermal insulation etc. If you keep the rooms air conditioned your losses are too great, it will be very expensive. Improve your house and its insulation, Double glazed windows, seal gaps doors and windows, roof insulation then you can keep rooms constant temperature.
