Re: Future energy sources?

Whistle Canada produces 548 million tonnes of CO2 every year. It requires 31-46 trees to compensate for 1 tonne of CO2. Canada requires 25,208,000,000 (taking the higher number of 46) trees to offset our CO2. The Canadian Boreal Forest has an estimated 500-600 BILLION trees! That means we have enou...

Re: Future energy sources?

Interesting read here. Energy guru Daniel Yergin: «I'm sick of the energy transition discussion» Daniel Yergin is often called the most influential energy analyst in the world. The American author has a clear answer to the question of whether the age of oil is over. https://www.nzz.ch/english/energy...

Re: Baltimore Bridge collapse

Nobody here is investigating. We can only speculate. Further information indicates that the emergency power generator didn't restore power to the vessel's disabled propulsion systems. Disabled propulsion means a dead rudder, and a dead rudder means no steering. Dropping the anchors was the next best...

Re: Baltimore Bridge collapse

The safety guidelines when the bridge was built almost 50 years ago probably didn't factor in the quadrupling in the average size of vessels or the expansion of port facilities at Baltimore. Unfortunately, the development of any safety edicts was probably given to the USCG who, in my opinion, is an ...

Re: Baltimore Bridge collapse

It would appear following an Engineering report that they knew how unsafe that bridge was IF the supports were damaged. Sadly ZERO preventative measures were in place to ensure the pier bases were protected.seems it was an accident waiting to happen and it has, now the sloping shoulders and the fin...

Rodney Jones, a record producer, has accused Combs, 54, of a litany of sexual assault allegations. His 73-page lawsuit against the...

I am looking to do a 30 day entry stamp to O retirement conversion in the middle of the year at Udon Immo. I currently have THB600k in a term deposit account with Kasikorn, which is never accessed. My question is - to top up to the 800k required for retirement, does the extra 200k need to go to the...

Re: Big increase in air fares

If you've done the Amari stopover before, then that should work ok. That hotel is super convenient with only a 10-15 minute walk to your early morning flight check-in for UTH. Getting a metered taxi from Suvarnabhumi should be a breeze. You probably qualify for the free shuttle bus service to DMK, ...

Re: US Presidential election odds

When called on to repudiate Putin's claims to Ukrainian involvement in the Moscow terrorist attack, Kamala mangles the opportunity with, "No, there is no, whatsoever, any evidence and, in fact, what we know to be the case is that ISIS-K is actually, by all accounts, responsible for what happened."

I have a broken back molar and it needs to come out ASAP as the sharp edges are buggering up my tongue. Mrs tam tried a couple of places on the phone with one saying 'busy until after Songkran' and the other denying that they're a dentist. Anyone had luck with any local dentist that will accommodate...
