if you have no experience, which is obviously clear
you shouldn't really comment

you can call whatever you want, it does not make your naive ignorant comment fact does it.

was eating ~2kg of pork belly each day, long sitting at a mookata

That is still only (max) 5000 cals

Completely incorrect.

OMAD is simply eating 1 meal a day, there is no going into calorie count etc.
just like IF is intermitant fasting
neither are starving you or calorie deficient (unless you want them to be)
or eat this not that, they just refer to the eating window, not a diet itself

i have done OMAD eating 10,000 calories a day.

I call 100000% BS - you must have caused HUGE GI distress, or you where eating pure fat.

OK - who has em this year pls?

I think BYD were near bankruptcy at one point, but then again Aston Martin have been several times. At this stage I'd be inclined to buy the brands I know, probably Japanese I guess in the Thai market because you need a comfort level that the brand will still exist during your ownership. MG also appeals to me. EVs make so much sense in Bangkok in particular, imagine the reduction in pollution and improvement in air quality that mass adoption will bring. there. It has to happen, must happen. However crop burning... they really need to enforce the existing laws on that. 

And how is the electricity generated to power said green-mobiles......... the efficiency in energy production is not yet there, nuclear has to be the way forward.

Apologies if I wasn't clear. For the benefit of those who aren't familiar with the MG HS PHEV:

Driving Modes: Eco; Normal, Sport and Super Sport (Big Red button on the steering wheel)

 

 

There is an EV button which will allow the car to drive without the ICE engine like an full EV

 

If the EV button is not selected and the car is in Eco or Normal and there is charge in the batteries, the car will decide how the car drives, e.g. at low speed it will use just the electric motor and high speeds a combination of Electric and Ice.

 

Once the battery is depleted, the car will drive like a hybrid car, only using the electric motor if power has been generated by regen.

 

Sport and Super Sport will use the maximum power that is available from both electric and ICE.

    

 

 

Thanks - for me an EV can work as I return home daily, however I suspect that the convenience of gasoline (dino fuels) will be a hard one to shake and the faff of charging is something the other half (i know) just wont do, thus leaving a white elephant of a vehicle in the drive. At least with the EV mode I can get the benefits when required with the safety net of traditional fuel 

Does the PHEV have some kind of re-gen braking system also? and does it have the ability to charge the batteries from the traditional engine?

Go get yourself a cow and drink all the POTENTIALLY deadly unpasteurized milk your heart desires.

 

I don't care. 

I dont drink milk - but thanks for your sage advice

Just now, MrJ2U said:

 

No company uses unpasteurized milk for commercial consumption in Thailand.

 

What company in your country uses unpasteurized milk for human consumption?

 

What is your argument?

 

What company sells unpasteurized milk products?

 

Crazy talk. 

 

#1That was NOT your argument 

#2 The question was not about MY country, but THIS country

#3 I have non, I presented facts

#4 To answer the question you asked, not inferred, I can name DOZENS of cheeses that are unpasteurised. I believe this would qualify as a milk product.

That's why it's not available to consumers.

 

Potentially deadly

 bacteria in your food is bad for business. 

Chicken POTENTIALLY carries salmonella, pork POTENTIALLY carries trichinosis and I could go on - these are all readily available. Raw milk is still available in many places. 

1 minute ago, MrJ2U said:

The subject was about Raw (unpasteurized milk).  I assume that what you meant when you posted

 

 "most gets sold for ice-cream" 

 

 

Yes correct - and MOST will be pasteurized by said ice-cream maker on site under their supervision. Infact most modern ice cream machines have inbuilt pasteurisation which can (and usually is) done during the cooking process. 

As for point 2?

Raw milk isn't safe for consumption. 

 

"Raw milk is milk that has not been pasteurized to kill harmful bacteria. It can come from any animal. Raw milk can carry dangerous germs, such as Brucella, Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium, E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella, which can pose serious health risks to you and your family."

 

https://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/rawmilk/raw-milk-questions-and-answers.html#:~:text=Raw milk is milk that,to you and your family.

That should say POTENTIALLY harmful - not all raw milk carries said bacteria, like not all eggs carry salmonella

Who's using unpasteurized milk for ice cream?

 

No commercial company would be allowed to do that. 

#1 where did I say that the milk was unpasteurized for the ice cream production?

#2 No commercial compony where? and according to which exact law would that be? 

Lots of assumptions here, not so much in the way of evidence!

It's bad for you.  We don't drink any dairy milk....it's not natural to be drinking another species milk..and humans / no other mammals, drink milk once they are no longer babies.

 

The dairy industry is also cruel and bad for the environment.

 

 

 

 

It not natural to facetime another person on the opposite side of the planet......... 

It will be tough as most gets sold for ice-cream & the supply is VERY inconsistent - that said there are some dairy cows in Koh Kaew, maybe worth a sortie

O … that does not look good. So what vehicle, how old and is it a respray. I very much doubt that you will make much improvement without an orbital polisher and even then……is most of the car like that.

 

The guy up the road has an old Merc. Had it resprayed a few years ago. It looked good… now all still looks good except the boot lid which looks a lot like your roof. I tried a little polishing compound on it by hand … no improvement at all ….

 

I know that he didn’t put a wax or anything to protect the surface very often, if ever… could be where he parks the car that the boot lid catches the sun a lot…

 

The car is a Fiesta & about 10% of the total car is like this and it is 9 yrs old - certainly no point to re-spray as the cost would be pointless in such an old vehicle. 

Will try come cutting compound & see how we go

As this topic is ongoing…could you post a couple of pics of the damage…clear coat failing is very unusual unless a respray….

I am not a great fan of the Fortuner - having driven them a few times in the last few years. If your wife got everywhere she needed to go in her HR-V , I doubt whether she would ‘need’ 4WD.

The 4WD may be safer - having better traction - but for normal driving this is a non issue. 

4WD is also likely to have a slightly higher fuel consumption.

Not slightly higher fuel consumption - MUCH higher

A very good point. I wonder if brand new Condos being built now would have the charge points for every parking space ? 

the answer is no, most dont even have the requisite number of parking spaces available

I am also looking at the Forester as a family SUV. Dealer is offering THB 200k discount from the showroom price of THB 1.47m for the eyesight model.

 

Have also looked at the new Ford Everest Sport (2wd) at 1.524m with the safety pack.

 

I cant decide between the 2!

I have a Pajero - had the wife listened to me we would have a Forester, so personally I would take that over an Everest
