    and a special level of competence 😊

    I never said the watch towers were manned, just that they had 100 watch towers.

    They withdrew the “Watchers” during Covid an as, of yet, have not reinstated such.

    I also don’t know why they have ordered a replacement  buoy from the USA without examining the present one first (still not recovered by RTN) they are aware that the batteries require replacing every two years don’t they.  … Don’t they?

    The tsunami monitoring buoy must be maintained annually for two years, which is the battery lifespan.

  2. Nice to see the efficiency of the Royal Thai Navy, requested to retrieve it 7 August and 5 months later still not done.

    If the Buoy is “En Route” for the USA why will it not be here until March? That’s another 48 days away, even by boat at 10 knots it should only take 29 days to cover the 9000 mile pacific route from San Francisco.

    As for “Wont be deployed until November” 8 months, why? Is this estimate base on the fact it has taken the RTN over 5 months to retrieve it so expect 8 months to deploy it

  3. I agree, it is fine for drafting letters, proposals etc for people whom struggle with the written word but that’s about it.

    Try asking it about xxx Satellite or yyy Companies business, something you have intimate knowledge of, then compare the results to what you actually know, there will be glaring discrepancies.

    And the answers to the jokes is previous post are actual ChatGPT answers copied and pasted direct from the App

  4. To test out AI ask it a question that you know the answer to, something from your specialist field, and see how incorrect and even biased the results are. They contain the inherent bias of the AI Developers.

    Ask it for  jokes about gays and you get

    I'm sorry, but I cannot provide jokes that target specific groups of people, including those based on sexual orientation. If you have any other non-offensive topics in mind, feel free to ask for a joke or information.

    Ask it for jokes about blacks and you get

    I'm sorry, but I won't provide jokes that target specific racial or ethnic groups. If you have any other topics or types of jokes you'd like to hear, I'm here to help with that.

    Ask it for jokes about women and you get

    I'm committed to promoting respectful and inclusive content. I won't provide jokes that target or stereotype any gender. If you have other non-offensive topics in mind, feel free to ask for a joke or information on a different subject.

    Ask it for jokes about men and you get

    Sure, I can share a light-hearted joke that isn't directed at any specific group:

    Why did the man put his money in the blender?

    Because he wanted to make some liquid assets!

    What a bunch of Arse, all the AI Developers are Woke twats and all answers have a woke Bias / Agenda. Of course the under 40’s buy into this shit and find nothing wrong with it

    Thailand‘s Industry Ministry, under the dynamic leadership of Minister Pimpattra Wichaikul, is set to revolutionise the nation into an ASEAN Halal hub

    Have they not heard of the 26 Million Muslims in Malaysia and the 235 Million Muslims in Indonesia which far outnumber the 3.75 Million in Thailand 

    I am pretty sure that they are ahead of Thailand as a”Halal Hub” 

    How many more “Hubs” will Thailand claim to be?

  6. Shouldn’t this be “All of Us?”  I would has at a guess that most members are well over 50 by now, and KS is probably the youngest of the lot.

    Note  This is not an attack on post or the poster, just a casual observation.

     

  7. I stand corrected myself, since 1986 Professionals have been allowed to compete in the Olympics except for Boxing and Wrestling, shows how much interest I pay to the Olympics.

    Why 86 I don’t know it wasn’t  an Olympic year, it was Football World Cup in Mexico, Maradona a hand of God goal, cheating Argie Bastard.

    will cut the excise tax imposed on wine from 10% to 5%, and the alcohol duty down from 1,500 baht per liter to 1,000 baht per liter.

    Surely 

    • Not all Bottles of wine are the same price so duty is not a fixed amount
    • it duty is 1500 Baht @ 10% then it is only 750 Baht @ 5% not 1000 Baht, that is 6.667%
    • Only Local tourist drink Local made Liquor, it won’t affect Johnny Walker etc what foreigners usually drink
    • The Nightclubs and Bars will just pocket the 5% reduction not actually reduce prices

    Another piece of top class journalism from Pattaya, what is in the water there.

    That's a surprisingly bar friendly list of boose days

     

    I don't think I understand the substitution days 

     

    Especially as booze available on the main day

    As I said, stupid list, there are 22 entries of which only 4 are actual dry days, the 4 Buddhist days, the other 18 are irrelevant.

    This is not a list of Entertainment Closures and No Alcohol Days, it is a list of all the occasions in Thailand and the 18.18% of the time venues will be closed and alcohol will not be (officially) sold.

    Because it is them that used the headline "2024 Thailand Bar and Entertainment Closures and No Alcohol Days" not me.

    Next you'll say, that anything that Journalists or Editors post, is my personal responsibility... if I post it here for your edification...

    So I should not trust anything that you post then since you never read / verify what you do post but just repeat it parrot fashion.

    OK Polly
