I guess the explanation is: Trump is a true Christian. Love thine enemy.

Don't you want to give her a big kiss?

There are many examples throughout history of people being pronounced dead, who have later bounced back to life. There are also examples of unearthed coffins, which have scratches under the lid, implying that the buried person came back to life and furiously tried to get out of the coffin. It's often referred to as the 'Lazarus syndrome'. Here's a description of the Lazarus syndrome, from wikipedia. "Lazarus syndrome (the Lazarus heart), also known as autoresuscitation after failed cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is the spontaneous return of a normal cardiac rhythm after failed attempts at resuscitation. It is also used to refer to the spontaneous return of cardiac activity after the patient has been pronounced dead. The phenomenon was first described in medical journals in 1982, and has been noted at least 38 times since then. It was named the "Lazarus Phenomenon" by Jack G. Bray in 1993, referring to Lazarus of Bethany who, according to the New Testament, was raised from the dead by Jesus."

The correct title of the article should be: "Temple Highlights Bangkok's Vulnerability to Land Subsidence"

From the article: "Bangkok's land subsides at about one to two centimetres annually, while sea levels rise by approximately 5.8 centimetres each year. These concerning trends indicate a potential for significant flooding in Bangkok and Samut Prakan by 2050." Land subsidence is often confused with sea-level rise, but this claim of '5.8 centimetres per year' of sea level rise, cannot be a result of climate change. 5.8 centimetres is 58 mm. A search on the internet reveals that the current rate of sea-level rise, globally, is around 3.6mm per year, which is 0.36 centimetres. If we add the claimed 1-2 centimetres of land subsidence (say 1.5 centimetres) to the claimed 5.8 centimetre sea-level rise, we get an apparent rise of 73mm per year. Subtract the global estimate of 3.6mm per year of sea-level rise and the result is 69.3mm per year due to land subsidence. This is not a problem that can be fixed by reducing CO2 emissions. 🤣

To get things in perspective, that's 400 Baht per day. 400 Baht is currently equivalent to approximately 19 Australian dollars. In Australia, the national minimum wage is now $24.95 per hour, as from 1 July 2025, which means that the daily minimum wage in Thailand is less than the hourly minimum wage in Australia. Assuming the average working day is around 8 hours, a Thai worker on the minimum wage, earns around 1/10th of an Australian worker who is on the minimum wage in Australia. Thailand has a long way to go.

From the article: "The residence, surrounded by overgrown vegetation, showed signs of long-term neglect." This implies that the residence has a garden. Why on earth would people not have the sense to grow their own fruit and vegetables if they are struggling to pay for food?

Hey! Worms are nutritious. Didn't you know? "Live, edible worms offer a surprising amount of nutrition. They are excellent sources of protein and fat, and some species also provide valuable vitamins and minerals. For example, live mealworms contain about 20% crude protein and 13% crude fat. Some species, like earthworms, are also high in calcium. "

Good point! Most people have a natural ability to turn the excess food they eat into body fat. It's a survival trait which helped our ancestors to survive famines, and food shortages due to seasonal variations. However, a few people, due to different genetics, lack that ability, and any excess food they eat is flushed down the toilet.

The love of money is the root of all evil. Don't Buddhists understand this? 😒

In case anyone is confused. From the article: "Iceberg A23a, a massive block of ice covering around 3,500 square kilometres – an area over twice the size of Greater Bangkok – has been lodged off South Georgia Island, near Antarctica since it detached from the ice sheet in 1986." In other words, the ice of Iceberg A23a was already in the sea in 1986. The detachment from the ice sheet does not cause any sea-level rise. When sea water freezes, there is no fall in sea level. When the ice melts, there is no rise in sea levels. However, when the origin of the iceberg is due to a melting glacier on land, which slides into the sea, then the sea-level immediately rises because of the additional water in the form of ice, but the sea-level does not continue to rise as the iceberg melts.

Good point! The relevant quote from the article: "Adding to these concerns, the influx of fresh meltwater from A23a is likely to elevate sea levels, with implications for coastal areas." What nonsense!

“Today is the greatest day of deregulation our nation has seen. We are driving a dagger straight into the heart of the climate change religion to drive down cost of living for American families, unleash American energy, bring auto jobs back to the U.S. and more,” said EPA Administrator Zeldin. “Alongside President Trump, we are living up to our promises to unleash American energy, lower costs for Americans, revitalize the American auto industry, and work hand-in-hand with our state partners to advance our shared mission,” added EPA Administrator Zeldin.

Yet the Danes have a higher quality of life than the average American.
