Re: Tips for recycling and reducing plastic use in Thailand

As they wear down they will be releasing just more micro plastic particles into the environment.

Re: Japan Airlines plane in flames on the runway at Tokyo's Haneda Airport

The clean up job is going to be a major nightmare considering the ferocity of the fire and the dispersion of all those exotic materials down the runway.
And hopefully the passengers all got away without inhaling any of it too.

Re: Poll: Would you be willing to donate to keep HHF online?

You can count me in too.
BTW, I voluntarily contribute to support a free music station. The site was also near rock bottom some time ago and it's been brought back from the dead.

Re: Dragon Boat Racing, Khao Tao 2023

The PBS TV guys setting up at the lake told us that with the strong winds sweeping up the lake there yesterday swamping the boats was a possibility especially if side on to wave chop. Around at the entrance to the canal inlet near the temple was an absolute churning mess of wild white water.Let's ho...

Back in the 70's I was boarding a flight from Kathmandu to Rangoon. As it was a warmer than usual day the pilot needed to reduce the payload in order to get enough thrust for take off.
