White Culture
The assumptions are invalid. Some are laughable. For example, "heavy focus on the British Empire." Seriously? Germans were once one of the largest ethnic groups in the USA. They now account for 12% of the US ethnic background. Italians are 6% . Neither has historically had much focus on the British Empire. Latinos make up 19% of the US population. Its a mix of multiple cultures . Spanish and many South Americans cannot be compared to cultures such as Hondurans or Mexican. A large portion of the population is "European" in its culture. And then you have the Asian cultures. The work and value ethics of Koreans and japanese can hardly be compared to those of some other Asians. -

White Culture
Given the number of white people who are anti-vaxxer, anti-mask, anti-fluoridation climate change denying MAGA conspiracy theorists, I'd say emphasis on the scientific method was thrown under the bus a long time ago.- 1

Alex Jones' Infowars to be auctioned off in pieces to pay Sandy Hook families
I also wonder who is going to pay for this garbage? Maybe the same people who will buy Trump's gold watches? 🤣 -

Australian Aged Pension
I don't see the trolling in that post. It's a case of poor medical treatment, resulting in death, in the same hospital that your friend is praising. I didn't go off topic on the pension thread with health insurance, but at your request, and another member's suggestion, I have started a thread on the topic. -

Linear actuators? Quality criteria? Where to buy?
I think about building a TV stand with linear actuators. The idea is that the TV is near the floor when it is not used and is pushed about 80cm up vertically if I want to watch it. I would build such a stand with aluminium profiles 3030 or similar. The TV weights 20kg. According to AI two actuators with each 200N should do the job. I looked in Lazada and they have i.e. this model. This is up to 450mm long, maybe that is good enough for me and I can use two on each side. JS-TGZ-U1 Linear Actuator Electric DC Motor 30mm/s 300N 12VDC IP45 Actuator | Lazada.co.th Cost for the 450mm version is 1,173THB. I am familiar with electronics, Arduino, etc. I am sure I will be able to wire them up and remote control them. Did anybody here use those things before? What are the quality criteria? If I want to use these in average not even 10 times per day, is this "Made in China" good enough? Any ideas and suggestions are welcome. -

Medicare v Private Health Insurance - Different strategies - Are you covered?
The topic of relying on Medicare in Australia for major medical treatment, versus private health insurance, either in Thailand, or Australia, has been raised in the Aged Pension Thread, which off topic in that thread. Two members have suggested starting a specific thread on the topic. The below is not a poll, just some questions that may categorize members, and perhaps they can explain why they have chosen their particular strategy. 1) Do you have private health insurance covering you in Thailand? 2) Do you have private health insurance in Australia? 3) Do you have private health insurance in both Thailand and Australia? 4) Are you uninsured? 5) Are you self insured, or self funded? If I have missed an option, feel free to post it. I have private health insurance in Australia, and in Thailand. I have openly stated I do not have faith in the public Medicare system in Australia to properly treat me, and in a timely manner. The main reasons for this is you do not get to chose your doctor, so you could get someone very inexperienced, or not as competent, and the waiting list for elective surgery being years for some operations. I know I can not claim on the Australian private health insurance policy inside Australia. My strategy is, if I need some type of elective surgery, like a knee or hip replacement, I will fly back to Australia, get a top surgeon, and my own room in a private hospital, and the operation will be done within days, or weeks. The insurance company will pick up most of the bill. There may be a "gap" to pay, which I am prepared for. Should I have a motorbike accident in Thailand, for example, and need emergency treatment, to the point I can not board a plane, then I take my chances with what doctor I get in Thailand, and the insurance company pays the bill here. So, I am in group 3. -

You are not very good at prediction. I guess you "predict" Kamala to be the next POTUS too. Don't or she will loose. -

I Love Donald Trump
Exactly who needs Taylor Swift, the heads of the armed forces, major public servants, senior Republicans even...... ....when you have this character endorsing you...... Snoop Dogg has faced various legal issues throughout his career. Here’s a summary of some key incidents: ### 1. **1993: Murder Charges** - **Incident**: In 1993, Snoop Dogg and his bodyguard were involved in a shooting that resulted in the death of a rival gang member, Philip Woldemariam. - **Outcome**: Snoop was charged with murder but was later acquitted after a lengthy trial in 1996. His bodyguard claimed self-defense, and Snoop was eventually cleared of all charges. ### 2. **1997: Marijuana and Firearm Possession** - **Incident**: Snoop Dogg was arrested for possession of marijuana and an illegal firearm in a car parked outside his home. - **Outcome**: He received a fine and probation. ### 3. **2001: Drug Possession** - **Incident**: Snoop was caught with marijuana again at an Ohio airport. - **Outcome**: He was fined and given community service. ### 4. **2006: Heathrow Airport Arrest** - **Incident**: Snoop Dogg and his entourage were involved in a brawl at London's Heathrow Airport, leading to his arrest on charges of violent disorder and starting a disturbance. - **Outcome**: He was banned from British Airways and later accepted a caution for the incident. ### 5. **2006: Drug and Weapon Charges** - **Incident**: In 2006, Snoop was arrested multiple times, including one for possession of a deadly weapon (a collapsible baton) at a California airport and another for drug and gun possession after a traffic stop in Burbank, California. - **Outcome**: He was fined, given probation, and required to perform community service. ### 6. **2012: Norway Ban** - **Incident**: Snoop Dogg was detained at a Norwegian airport for possession of marijuana. - **Outcome**: He was fined and temporarily banned from entering Norway for two years. I guess you would want to him inside the tent. -

Horrible Offensive Trump Commercial
Not to be flippant about mental health (indeed a serious issue) but judging by the shrill and, frankly, hysterical tone of your posts are you sure your 'mental breakdown' episode is over? PM me if you need to talk. -

7-Eleven Introduces Convenient PromptPay QR Code Payments Nationwide
Agree, in my observation quite rare to see any fumble. Most times customers are ready to scan and do it quite smoothly.
