Social Media Buzz: The Mystery 'Bell' at Traffic Lights
Picture courtesy: Daily News Social media platforms are abuzz with theories about a peculiar white device resembling a bell, spotted atop traffic lights across intersections. Many wondered if it was a new type of traffic camera. Recently, a user named "totoonline" ignited curiosity on the popular Thai forum Pantip with a post titled, "What is this pole in the middle of the road? Is it a camera?" featuring a photo of the mysterious white equipment. The device, mounted on poles specially or directly on traffic signals, left many puzzled due to its unconventional appearance. The post fuelled speculation, with some users initially assuming it to be a traffic camera. However, sceptical observers noted the absence of visible camera lenses. Others theorised it could be a traffic signal sensor, controlling lights based on vehicle presence—an idea seen in Japan. Eventually, a link shared in the discussion led users to WHA GROUP's website, providing clarity. The device is part of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system used primarily for monitoring and managing fire prevention equipment like fire pumps and alarms, reported Daily News. This indicates its role may vary, depending on installation purposes, potentially extending beyond mere traffic control. Sources: Pantip.com, WHA GROUP. -- 2024-12-13 -

Why Do So Many Foreign Men Still Marry Short-Time Girls?
Having the amount of partners you speak of doesn't coincide with sanity. Most women , meaning the average woman, only has 3-7 in a lifetime. Having as many as you say shows how a woman sees a man. That he's not special but just another number. A prostitutes heart is already hardened by the time she is either forced, coerced or manipulated into the trade. Even those that are in it because of past familiar abuse and or neglect have had an uphill battle in their minds all along. This doesn't factor into a normal adult one on one relationship in any way. Yes, of course we hear stories of how one married a bar girl that's been with multitudes and it's all fine, but we don't live with them and see the real picture of what goes on day to day. A prostitute looks at men as a means to get by to the next day, and not as a long term, emotional connection. This is about money. Yes, there are those that think all women are in the game for money, but it's to be provided for and it's not the same as doing things because you're getting cash. And a lot of women make their own money and contribute to the family pool, as a team. The amount of marriages that fail is high, mainly because people lack the ability to trust and give themselves up 100% to their partner, and having their partner do the same. Also because one or the other, or both, are tainted with baggage from their childhoods, and can't relate to their partner as an adult should. No guarantees in any marriage unless both are willing to make sacrifices and understand that things do go wrong in all marriages. The difference between a normal marriage and one with a bar girl are huge, It all starts at home. How they were treated at home, especially by their dads. If you start a relationship looking at what you can get from the other, it's already doomed to fail. -

Authorities Seize Chemicals for Producing Etomidate Used in E-Cigarettes
Picture courtesy of ONCB A joint operation led by Thailand’s Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) has uncovered a stockpile of chemicals used to produce Etomidate, a dangerous substance increasingly misused in e-cigarettes. Authorities revealed that the seized materials could produce up to 600,000 e-cigarette doses, posing severe health risks, including respiratory failure. The raid took place at 13:30 on December 12 at a warehouse in Samae Dam, Bang Khun Thian district, Bangkok. The operation was spearheaded by ONCB Secretary-General Pol. Lt. Gen. Phanurat Lakboon, along with representatives from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Department of Industrial Works, the Consumer Protection Police Division (CPPD), the Royal Thai Navy, and the National Narcotics Control Commission (NNCC) of China. The seizure followed a tip-off from Chinese authorities, who had apprehended suspects linked to Etomidate trafficking in China. Investigations revealed that four Chinese nationals smuggled 3.5 tons of chemicals into Thailand for Etomidate production. The raid uncovered seven types of chemicals; 1. Phenylethylamine 2. Triethylamine 3. Benzene 4. Ethyl chloroacetate 5. Formic acid (85%) 6. Ethyl formate 7. Potassium thiocyanate These substances, stored in 11 containers 2,200 litres, could produce 200 kilograms of Etomidate, valued at 140 million baht in the Chinese market. Pol. Lt. Gen. Phanurat explained that Etomidate is a short-acting anesthetic requiring strict medical supervision. However, it has been repurposed as an illicit additive in e-cigarettes, causing neurological damage, tremors, and, in severe cases, respiratory failure. The substance is reportedly spreading across China and Taiwan and has begun to surface in Thailand. The ONCB emphasized that while Etomidate is not yet classified as a narcotic in Thailand, its potential misuse could lead to it being reclassified as a controlled substance under the Psychotropic Substances Act. Officials also warned of the risks to youths, as Etomidate-laced e-cigarettes could induce unconsciousness, leaving individuals vulnerable to abuse. Authorities are pursuing the four Chinese suspects connected to the operation. The chemicals were smuggled via maritime routes and stored in the rented warehouse. The warehouse owner has cooperated with the investigation and provided critical information leading to the seizure. This case marks the latest in Thailand’s efforts to combat the use of precursor chemicals for manufacturing illicit substances. The ONCB and its partners remain committed to dismantling cross-border networks using Thailand as a production hub for dangerous chemicals. -- 2024-12-13 -

EV Charger Recommendations
That should be 32A. My PEA installation is 3 phase 15/45. What are your thoughts of squeezing 32 to 40A out of my system if the pool pump and EV charger are in at the same time. I think OK. I will buy the BYD 7 kV charger from Lazada or Shopee. -
