HNY to you too 😊

GM, GA, GE, HNY

Not had too much time on Nostr recently, as the wife and I have been enjoying exploring hidden beaches across ko pha ngan and now across ko samui 🇹🇭

Hope everyone's has an amazing start to 2025

#travelstr #happynewyear #siamstr

You were one of the first artists I followed on Nostr, not only because your art is wonderful, but because you were also a pioneer for me to see someone so creative being so creative in how they advertise and sell their work

Wishing you every happiness and success if 2025

💜🫂🧡

Your art is a vital contribution to Nostr, and I love seeing it in my note feed 💜

I just wish I had enough spare sats to purchase some of your works...2025 I hope to own a piece

Looks delicious. Cannot wait to try for myself in the new year 🇯🇵

Can't argue with that bargain 🤣

Unfortunately I'm not a meteorologist so can't comment on cloud formations and altituds, but none of the particulates, liquids, or gases in diesel engine exhausts have been linked with geo-engineering (or at least I haven't seen a scientific paper citing as such)

With regards disobeying regulations, like all regulations, not everyone obeys and some vessels use high sulfur content fuel and log lower SOX emissions in order to appear 'greener'. But the vast majority or vessels comply with the regulations as the penalties for not complying outweigh the perceived benefit of flaunting the regulations

Having spent my entire career engineering at sea on a variety of vessels, I can safely say with confidence that the following is what is coming out of the exhaust stacks on diesel engine vessels (approximately 65% of all marine vessels use diesel engines):

Gases:

-Nitrogen Oxides (NOX), formed through the combustion of fuel and air (also regulated quantities permitted under MARPOL reg 13)

-Carbon Monoxides (CO), a byproduct of incomplete combustion (also regulated)

-Carbon Dioxide (CO2), significant component in exhaust after combustion

-Hydrocarbons (HC), unburnt fuel and combustion products (creates smog)

-Sulfur Dioxides (SOX), present in fuel and lubrication oils

Particulate Matter:

-Soot, unburnt carbon

-Ash, inorganic particles from fuel

-Unburnt fuel particles, uncombusted fuel particles including PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons)

-Heavy metals, from fuel and lubrication oil additives (zinc, magnesium, ceroum, iron, manganese, platinum, and copper)

Liquids:

-Water, condensed water droplets in exhaust

-Organic compounds, absorbed onto soot or metal particles

There are so many regulations regarding permitted emissions, sulpher content of fuel, and oil record keeping on board a vessel, which is scrutinised from the 4th engineer taking logs, right up to international Government Organisations, that I find it extremely unlikely that any form of geo-engineering is taking place on board marine vessels as suggested in the original note

When smell-o-vision, or smell-o-phone so I can fully enjoy this note

Thanks 😋 It was my favourite of the 4 dishes for sure, even though phad kra praow is usually my favourite Thai dish to eat...I'd clearly not had a duck curry before

Had an amazing first Christmas with my wife, and treated ourselves to a cooking class at The Blue Elephant 🩵🐘

Amazing morning spent at the market getting the ingredients, cooking 4 different thai dishes from scratch (a first for me...I usually grab a pre-made sauce for curries):

YAM MA-MUANG KOONG SOD

Spicy and Sour Green Mango Salad with Prawns

PHAD KRA PRAOW KAI

Stir-fried Chicken with Hot Basil

KAENG PHED PED YANG

Roasted Duck Curry

SOUP NUA SAMOON PRAI

Spicy beef soup with herbs

100% the best thai dishes I've ever made for myself 🇹🇭😋

12 hours later, we've arrived in Ko Pha Ngan, just in time for sunset at our new place 🇹🇭🤙🌅

Congratulations 👏

'Mistborn' is next on my reading list funnily enough!

Just finished Vernor Vinge's 'True Names', and currently reading 'Snow Crash' by Neal Stephenson
