BenjaminHCCarr, #ExtremeHeat continues to scorch large parts of #Asia
Large swathes of Asia are sweltering through a #heatwave that has topped temperature records from #Myanmar to the #Philippines and forced millions of children to stay home from school. Experts say #climatechange has made #heatwaves more frequent, longer and more intense, while the #ElNino #weather phenomenon is also driving this year's exceptionally warm weather.

hipsauerkraut, @BenjaminHCCarr Similar observation here in the Caribbean, a bit too hot for being may. #ClimateDiary
Norobiik, President #JoeBiden’s sweeping #TariffHikes on a range of #ChineseImports are just the latest US moves in a years-long campaign that is rewiring #AsianTadeRoutes, figures in the past few days show.
It’s part of a broader trade overhaul for key American allies in #Asia, including major economies like #SouthKorea and #Japan. Both are seeing a bigger share of exports heading to the #US at the expense of #China

NewsDesk, Deadly heatwaves have been sweeping through South and Southeast Asia, setting records and closing schools before the official summer season even starts. At least three dozen deaths have been attributed to the heat so far this month, and June is expected to be even hotter. Scientists are warning the densely populated region to prepare for the impacts of human-caused climate change. CBS News has more.

KeithDJohnson,
youronlyone, How's your Azure Wood Dragon 2024 so far?
- ASEAN is getting cooked.
- Japan is preparing to get cooked as well.
- Flash floods in the Middle East and China.
- Hail storm in China.
- Huge tornadoes in the Middle East and the US.
- Looming war in Asia-Pacific.
- The North Korean puppet of China and Russia is getting more unstable day by day.
- More stronger earthquakes, not to mention volcano eruptions.

youronlyone, Huh, so what other #ASEAN #gamers have mentioned, South-East Asia now have a better ping to European gaming servers than US West Coast (or any US-based gaming servers).
This is interesting. I'm going to expand my test in the future. But for now, the results are the same with or without VPN. I guess ASEAN now have a direct connection to the EU IX and uses the latest technology?
I wonder where our connection passes through to get to the EU.
Here in the Philippines, our connection goes through:
- Taiwan or Hong Kong
- From there it travels the Pacific Ocean to US West Coast.
- From US West Coast, it travels to Central.
- From Central to East Coast.
- From East Coast to Europe.
If we now have a connection direct to EU IX, then it means we're no longer passing through the US?
Any IX experts out there?
mima, @youronlyone Hmm I might try pinging

which are physically located in Germany and the US respectively when I get home where I have a fiber connection to see if it holds true :sagume_think:
youronlyone, Ooh, found this article: “12 of Asia’s most important submarine cable projects”
> Massive growth in connectivity demand in Asia has led to increased capacity requirements, and construction of submarine and subsea cables is growing to meet this demand. An estimated $2.6 billion worth of current and future submarine cable projects are planned for completion by 2025 – here are profiles of 12 of the most important.
It looks like by 2025, connection with the US West Coast is going to be far better than it already is. I guess, from a gamer perspective, we should stick to North American servers. LOL ^_^;; Maybe the EU connection is better right now because there were projects which were recently completed?? But once the other projects connecting us to US West Coast are online, our NA connection will still be better in the long run.
neuronakaya, HI ASEANs, have you experienced mandatory military in your country? tell me about your experience.
We had this mandatory national service before in ph. I was lucky that I only experienced a basic reserve training in highschool because I delayed my studies, while my former classmates were in military uniforms in college.
#ASEAN #tootSEA
youronlyone, From 2010 to 2017, there was a thing called #AseanCitizen that we Aseans started as a grassroots movement. We were all bloggers from across, well, #ASEAN or South-East Asia.
Some of us joined together to produce one of the best multi-authored regional blogs. We talked about our cultures, write about what makes the region awesome. As well as, try to address the oftentimes silly and sometimes heated debates.
It's all gone now. Forgotten. The blogs dead or offline. We all grew up, got busy with our personal lives, and moved on separately. And the important reason? We lost interest in it as we started to see ASEAN was, is, and will never be for the grassroots.
That was the end of what was once a vibrant grassroot ASEAN Citizens effort. We did it all voluntarily. Without a single recognition from the top-down organisation that is ASEAN.
I had friends from #Cambodia, #Laos, #VietNam, #Thailand, #Singapore, #Malaysia, #Indonesia, #Brunei, and yes, even from #Myanmar (#Burma). (I'm from the #Philippines.) It was fun. It was not tiring at all. It was because we saw a bright future for ASEAN, and we believed in it completely.
But today? ASEAN is still a top-down organisation. They kept trying to get the grassroots involved, but they are always failing. Why? Because it is a top-down organisation, as simple as that. They will never understand until they shift their mindset and approach to bottom-up.
Who is ASEAN really for?
(P.S I want to restart this grassroots movement, but I just no longer have the spark. Give me a very good reason why I should give it another chance. Or, at least, guide the new generation.)

Many Indonesians can speak pretty good English as well, especially the ones working in big or multinational companies. Yeah, just many of us, not the majority like Malaysians and Singaporeans.

pseudonym, This was many years ago, so memory is vague, but I doubt it. More likely the attractions were the draw and the profit was from food and concessions and such.
I just recall having never heard of a bear cat previously, and then looking up information about them later
palmoildetectives, @pseudonym It's terrible how these animals are treated for human entertainment in these kinds of places 😨
