Per day, week, month, year? 

Funny you mentioned this subject. Was talking to a friend and we were discussing driving standards. While we were talking I googled worldwide road deaths per 100,000.

I was expecting Thailand to be right near the top. It wasn't. I would say in the top 30 %.On the other side of the coin, those with the least were Sweden, and the UK was right up there. The US was down at around 35 % from the least.

A lot of those countries with the highest death rate were in Africa.

Well I presume it has to be a number if it’s per hour, so I’ll go for 1.

Right.  Which foreigner nationals (non-Thai) have the most vaccinations by Thailand Health authorities?   There are many migrant workers from Myanmar who got the jab in Thailand.  My bad, I didn't really word the question too well.

Bluetooth

Spot on SJ.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth#History

The name “Bluetooth” was proposed in 1997 by Jim Kardach of Intel, one of the founders of the Bluetooth SIG. The name was inspired by a conversation with Sven Mattisson who related Scandinavian history through tales from Frans G. Bengtsson's The Long Ships, a historical novel about Vikings and the 10th-century Danish king Harald Bluetooth. Upon discovering a picture of the Harald Bluetooth rune stone^[8] in the book Gwyn Jones's A History of the Vikings, Jim proposed Bluetooth as the codename for the short-range wireless program which is now called Bluetooth.^[9][10][1
