    I tend to agree, it is just a link, nothing nude or violation of board policy.  I watched the movie, for its historical value and see nothing wrong with it, stunning costumes and brilliant directing! The music was also good. To me, there is a difference between a picture that just pops out and smacks you when you scroll down the thread and a link that I can choose to click on or not click on. The first one is more less “forced on the reader” vs. the link which is entirely up to me to click on or not click on.

    They were my thoughts as well. I remember when you posted a link to Surprising the delivery man, but he also has a surprise for me… I knew not to click on it.

    WEDNESDAY, January 17, 2024

    All the 23 workers in a fireworks factory in Suphanburi province were killed in a deadly explosion on Wednesday afternoon, local authorities said.

    Police and local officials said the accident happened at 3.30pm at the factory in Ban Khoi Ngam or Moo 3 village in Tambon Sala Khao of Muang district.

    Authorities believe the 23 workers were assembling the fireworks when suddenly there was an explosion, flattening the factory and killing all of them.

    Local villagers said the factory normally had about 30 people working inside but on Wednesday it was believed 23 workers were inside.

    Rescue officials said the explosions blew up their bodies, and body parts were retrieved from about 50 metres away and even in the rice fields. They said it was hard to identify the victims.

    The accident was immediately reported to Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin who is on an official trip to Davos, Switzerland.

    The prime minister expressed his condolences to the families of the victims and said he was shocked by the high number of fatalities.

    He instructed the Interior Ministry to ensure that the injured people received proper treatment. The governor of Suphan Buri governor later reported to Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul that so far there was no survivor from the factory.

    Srettha also instructed the Interior Ministry to update him about the tragedy every hour.

    Traisulee Traisoranakul, secretary to Anutin, said the Suphanburi governor had reported the deadly accident to the interior minster.

    Traisulee said Anutin was informed that the factory was located far from the local community.

    She said the governor reported that there were over 20 workers in the factory and no survivor was found.

    The factory had received its annual licence on August 24 last year.

    Traisulee said Suphanburi officials and those from concerned government agencies were investigating the cause of the explosion.

    Sorry I can't help myself. I'm attracted to watching train wrecks 😋

    Guess who?

    "Guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community', which is defined by people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality' … 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors …and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do'."

    I only socialized outside the board with a select few. A couple I kept in touch with back here in the land down under and also in LOS.

    Few have shuffled off this mortal coil while others I've just lost contact with, some by choice 😊

    Still some great memories and still always have a great time when i am luck enough to find the time to get up there, although now split my time between the old stomping grounds and some new ones in a neighboring country :beer:

    David was a lunatic. He skippered the Nokia maxi in the deadly 1998 Sydney to Hobart. I remember him telling us he had no radio when they hit that storm in Bass Strait.

    He skippered Scallywag in the latest which will probably be his last after he lost his best mate in the Volvo Round the World on the same boat after he was washed overboard.
