Hi,

If only they'd put as much effort into actually trying to catch Boss.

Sanuk!
 

Hi,

Wanna bet that 99% of them are male

Hi,

"There is a lot of Anti Government feeling in Thailand"

Yes, that is what I am seeing/hearing as well. I recently heard "The PM should resign over this covid debacle" from someone who usually doesn't want to say a bad word about the gov.
Of course the PM will not resign. I would even go as far as to say that if he loses the next election, he may well  cheat (again!) to stay in power.

Sanuk!
 

Hi,

And to continue that...

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't.

Sanuk!
 

Hi,

>They must read Thai360

Of course they do!

>six checkpoints on outbound roads

Out of how many possible roads to leave BKK?

Sanuk!

Hi,

"Thailand was ahead of target in securing 105.5 million doses of coronavirus vaccine for this year"

But what about administering them? I seriously doubt they can vaccinate a significant percentage of the country by then.

Sanuk!
 

Hi,

My guess is that they just don't have enough vaccines. I was supposed to get a shot today (organized by my company and Social Security Fund). Got cancelled last minute on Friday. Postponed until further notice.

Sanuk!

Hi,

I agree. From a coding perspective, adding a time frame is additional work. Not something you'd do for no reason.

Sanuk!
 

>Is that 12-3PM ICT, GMT or PST?

Yes.

Sanuk!

Hi,

"CCP denies covid leaked from the lab conducting experiments on it, Trump said it did,"

Neither of these is even remotely credible.

Sanuk!
 

Hi,

"Yes, as a side effect of all this "mining" that's going on, computer graphics cards, even 2nd hand,  for gaming, are horrendously expensive. "

Not to mention the huge amounts of electricity wasted on this. Apparently bitcoin mining uses more electricity per year than Argentina.

Sanuk!
 

Hi,

Exactly, Mekong. Pretty much all we are getting from the government is promises. Their response to the inoculation has been atrocious.

Sanuk!
 

Hi,

Yep, keep things ambiguous to increase the opportunity for corruption

Sanuk!
 

Hi,

Yeah, you might be right about residency. This is what I read though:
"During the CCSA meeting, the Ministry of Public Health affirmed that all people who reside in Thailand, regardless of their nationality, are eligible to receive the vaccine under the government’s plan."

As usual though, this being Thailand, who the fuck really knows

Sanuk!
 

Hi,

"Vaccination for Tarang will cost"

Turns out that is not actually the case. Gov has apparently said it will be free for all residents.

Sanuk!
 

Hi,

Then she may very well be presented with a (hefty?) bill, unless she has insurance.

Sanuk!

Hi,

I think it is supposed to be free (at government hospitals) for Thais, but have no source or proof of this.
Same for testing (if there is a valid reason for testing) and quarantine.

Sanuk!
 

Hi,

So, how do you calculate the people on the sides? Using that picture, there would be 6 as each would be standing in the middle of the 6'
For there to be 7 people in one line, 2 would need to be stuck to the wall and then width definitely comes into play.

Sanuk!
 

Hi,

>hands up those who thought 6x6

It probably is actually 6x6 (or even 5x6), because you are assuming people have no width/depth

Sanuk!
 

Hi,

Must be for the same reason they refer to themselves as "Irish-American", "Italian-American", etc even though even their (grand)parents were born in the US.

Sanuk!

Hi,

Hmm, and these articles on Stanford's own website seem to suggest the exact opposite:

Hi,

"7-11 Closed between 11PM - 4AM "

This doesn't really make sense to me. How many people frequent a 7-11 between those hours anyway?

Sanuk!

Hi,

"The 2 men allegedly told police that they were paid 5,000 baht each to deliver the methamphetamine."

That referred to the Lao men. The 50-100K was for a different guy.

Sanuk!
 

Hi,

Getting paid 5,000 Baht to smuggle drugs worth 275M Baht.

Sanuk!
 

Hi,

"the ban on protests is not political but is designed to stop the spread of the Covid-19 virus and protect the health of all residents. "

Riiiiggghhhtttt.

Sanuk!
