That is understandable, we all want to see the good guys win. I still think there are some valuable lessons learned from earlier conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Old allies don't always stay loyal.

I think the West, NATO and Stoltenberg is right on target and is spot on doing the right thing. They give Ukraine enough to win on their own terms, but also not enough that Ukraine will emerge as a military superpower post-war. Who knows what kind of leadership Ukraine will have in 10-20 years? Maybe not a happy comedian again. Russia will not be allowed to use nukes, by ......surprise China. You want to know why?

Beautiful workmanship, well done. Nice little side glass for level and I like you have many unions for future maintenance. How many m3 of rainwater have you so far run through ur filtration train? I use about 200 m3 of rainwater a year and found that 10 micron plug up too fast. I pre-strain at 300 micron to avoid larger organic material foul the tank. For level, I went electronic with a 0-0.3 bar 4-20 mA pressure transducer. It is accurate down to 10 l.

Speculation, yeah right. That risk has been put under the spotlight by the burning car carrier drifting off the Dutch coast. The Dutchcoastguard said the fire’s cause was unknown, but Dutch broadcaster RTL released a recording in which an emergency responder is heard saying “the fire started in the battery of an electric car.” https://gcaptain.com/ocean-shippers-playing-catch-up-to-electric-vehicle-fire-risk/

That is a very nice and neat setup. Do you pre-strain ur rainwater? What type and how many microns are your filters? What is the purpose of the greenish tank in the corner?

Can we see a link to said 350,000 baht villa?

Better stick with petrol. All these alternative fuels pose a risk.

Thanks ???? ????.

It is revealing that EV owners flock to forums about EV fires ????, they must worried about something. I have had ICE cars for 40+ years and visited many car sites, but always about technical issues. It never ever crossed my mind to investigate the fire risk.

Then they do what they have always done, pour a lot of water/foam on the fire and put it out. Is that really news to you?

Still it could be a wakeup call for marine industry. What if a EV burst into flames ???? on a packed ferry full of passengers?

Parking and EV next to your house is the equivalent to Oppenheimer in September 1945 asking if he can store a box with the label #3 in your garage ???? ????.

Ohhh, boy!!!! ???? ???? ????‍???? ???? ???? ???? https://splash247.com/one-dead-and-several-injured-in-major-fire-onboard-car-carrier Reports have come out that the fire started in one of the EVs which is a major issue. The EVs on board are a serious fire accelerant since its lithium-ion batteries when on fire can reach temperatures of more than 2,700 degrees Celsius.

Typical Chinese total lack of attention to details. That alone would be enough for me to buy a can of gasoline ⛽️ and set fire to my EV ????.

Did the Chinese really screw up the units in the display?

So km/kwh means kwh/100 km in a Chinese EV. Nice quality touch ????.

I get them on LINE also. Usually a beautiful doctor from Singapore. I always ask them how they feel about Taiwan's ???????? independence and they get were defensive....???? ????.

Thr above numbers are bad data. National Transportation Safety Board and concluded that battery-powered EVs suffer only 25 fires per 100,000 sold, compared to 1,530 for petrol or diesel vehicles, and notably 3,475 for hybrids. However, that report has been debunked for poor methodology. https://www.thecarexpert.co.uk/are-electric-car-fires-really-that-common/

Many occur without an obvious cause. Source: IDTechEx Research University of Tennessee Study: Electric car fires are more common than those in gasoline cars. “The study found that electric car fires occur in 3 out of every 1,000 starts, while internal combustion car fires occur in 1 out of every 10,000 starts. Electric cars are generally considered to be safer than gas cars, as they do not produce emissions that can endanger people. However, this study states that electric car fires are more common than previously thought.” University of California-Irvine Study: “Electric car fires are responsible for approximately one-third of all car fires in the United States.” https://vedaing.com.mk/blog/statistics-vehicle-fire-causes/

Arson fires are also, somewhat fairly, includes in the ICE numbers. Anyway, it would be nice to see some true and fair numbers based on fires/(billion)km, but so far the EV industry have failed to be honest.

Cars burn during their lifetime on the road, so fire/sale is actually misleading. Since EV sales are increasing and few EVs are old enough for a full life cycle, it underreport the true EV fire statistics. The yearly milage number was just my guess and could be wrong, if you have better numbers please share.

Very impressive milage at 7 km/kwh, which in energy terms is equivalent to 21 km/l and a whopping 42 km/l based on cost. What kind of EV are you driving?

You can eat for "free" at the thief's restaurant for the rest of your life. Bon appetite ????.

Next year they will all have an old phone, unless of course household debt increases to 95%.

What is the odometer on your EV showing and what mileage km/kwh are you getting on average?
