Electric Vehicles in Thailand
Gweiloman replied to Bandersnatch's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
For a minute there, I thought wow, food looks good. Then I saw who posted this picture. How sad, more than sad actually, to post a picture from a company that sells this product, rather than something that one created oneself https://www.philips.com/c-dam/b2c/master/experience/consistency-campaign/airfryer/EU7/philips-airfryer-uk-thumbnail.jpg This is like believing the chairman of Toyota when he says that ICEVs are the future… -

Oh yes! I was even scared to move a muscle in case any static electricity created might cause an explosion -

You know that is a lie, how? In your words, a B.S statement. You don’t know anymore or less than other posters, in spite of what you think. At the end of the day, what any of us think or believe is not going to make one iota of difference to what’s going to happen. -

I migrated from an ICEV to a PHEV and an EV. I reluctantly employed the ICE in my PHEV yesterday and forced myself to put in Thb 500 worth of fuel as I didn’t want the existing fuel in my tank to go stale or whatever it is that happens to fuel if stored for too long. First time I went to a pump since returning from Isaan in the New Year. Almost forgot how to open the gas cap. -

Since every link that doesn’t agree with your narrative is labelled B.S. and not credible by you, I guess you’ll just have to wait forever… -

Was it you that said attack is the best defence? 🙄 Pardon me if I mixed you up with another. -

Russian President Vladimir Putin has appointed Sergei Shoigu secretary of the Russian Security Council, the Kremlin’s press service reports. “Vladimir Putin signed a decree on the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation. 1. Appoint Sergei Kuzhugetovich Shoigu as Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation,” the message says. By another decree, the Russian leader released Nikolai Patrushev resigned from this position in connection with the transition to another job. In turn, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said that in his new post, Army General Shoigu will simultaneously be deputy president in the military-industrial complex commission, RIA Novosti reports. “Shoigu, as secretary of the Security Council, will simultaneously be the deputy president in the military—industrial complex commission,” Peskov told reporters during a briefing. The Kremlin spokesman added that Shoigu will also oversee the work of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC), which is directly subordinate to the head of state. “You already know, earlier it was also reported that the FSVTS is being withdrawn from the Ministry of Defense under the president. And its work will also be headed and supervised by Sergei Shoigu,” Peskov said. Sounds like he has been given more responsibilities. -

Gas price per se is not the issue here. The simple fact is that Germany has to pay more for its gas now than it would have to, had NS still be operational. It’s just economics. Gas was piped directly from Russia to Germany. This is the cheapest option possible. Now it arrives by tankers, having been compressed into liquid form and having to be uncompressed or whatever to refill the storage tanks. All these extra processes plus transportation costs adds to the cost. Apparently, Germany still uses a,lot of Russian supplied gas, through Belgium and the Netherlands. https://www.highnorthnews.com/en/germany-continues-import-russian-natural-gas-through-belgium-and-netherlands Interesting, I didn’t know that. And finally, Germany is worse off than before. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/germany-set-permanently-pay-reliance-101957758.html -

Simple question for you to answer. Is Russia gaining more territory or not? -

As each day wears on, the negotiated settlement will benefit Russia more and more. The Americans fought an extremely unpopular war in Vietnam, thousand of miles from its own borders and thousands upon thousands of soldiers returned in body bags. A dark chapter in an already dark history. Russia is fighting a war on its own borders, a war they consider existential to them, regardless of what others think. Victory will be celebrated every year. So yes, it will be remembered for centuries in Russia. Vietnamese people have lost their freedom? A big mistake that many westerners make is thinking and believing that only their way is right and trying to force everyone to adopt their values. One man’s meat is another man’s poison. They would do well to remember that. -

Typical substance-less reply. When you can’t counter the points, insult and discredit. For a change, to make yourself credible, try to disprove the points instead. If false, that should be easy enough. But if true, face reality and stop denying the facts. Attitudes and mindsets like yours is a key factor in explaining the way the conflict is going. Western leaders are in denial of the reality, relying on false reports of how well Ukraine is doing on the battlefield. Reason is simple. No one dares to tell the truth for fear of falling off the gravy train. ‘We just need another 61 billion and Ukraine will be able to hold on till the end of the year”. After that, “We need another 100 billion and Ukraine will be able to launch a counter attack “. Lol. Zelensky is now asking to be financed and defended for the next 10 years! What a joke. I hope the west falls for this scam though. It will continue to weaken them and the global majority will keep getting stronger. -

China (and India) are among the biggest winners. Whether Russia emerges ahead remains to be seen (geo-politically. They have already won militarily). America is definitely one of the big losers of this conflict.They have driven Russia much much closer to China than would have been possible. Also, the rest of the world have turned against them, fed up of their bullying, hypocrisy and flagrant abuse of power. Europe and especially Germany are even bigger losers Deprived of cheap reliable energy, they now have to pay exorbitant prices for US LNG and supplies from other parts of the world, not to mention having to waste billions more on unnecessary military spending going forward. By far the biggest loser is Ukraine, what will be left of it, after the conflict ends. There are rumours that Poland/Romania might take West Ukraine under its protection too,stop Russia taking over all of Ukraine, which Russia, imo, has no intention of doing. But this will sit very nicely with Poland as these are, I was led to believe, were previously Polish lands. Good luck to Ukraine if they think they can get these lands back, assuming the above happens. -

Not sure what you are ranting about. Having lived and worked in a couple of Muslim countries and interacting deeply with the locals, including intimate relations, I have never heard the phrase “Allaha Akhbar”. It has always been “Allahu Akhbar”, occasionally followed by “Bismillah nir Rahman nir Rahim”. And the poster I responded to was not @RayC but but tran something or other, a non-entity really. -

On the question of, is Ukraine winning, this is an interesting overview of the situation No speculations, no propaganda, no falsehoods. All confirmed positions supported by geo-locations. Ukraine better hopes that the promised munitions arrive soon. However, that leaves the unresolved issue of manpower. Unless NATO sends in troops… -

Who’s the dolt now? Of course Ukraine is not in NATO, else Article 5 would have been invoked. I mistakenly said “not join NATO’” when I meant “not wanting to join NATO”. This would be clear to anyone that’s not a dolt (whatever that means). -

Not my home country and I like it just fine here. You could also move back to your home country, unless it’s not good anymore? Or maybe Ukraine. I heard they are looking for suckers to fight America’s war. You can also join brain brian to Ukraine. The both of you can bore the Russian soldiers into surrender… -

Britain’s a democracy right? And in a democracy, the people get to choose what they want at the polls, right? Problem solved. Vote for the party that has immigration policies acceptable to the majority of the population. If such a simple matter cannot be resolved through this most highly desired political system, then maybe it doesn’t work that well… I vote for communism, since trannie already thinks I’m one. No immigration problem in China, the greatest Communist country on earth, lol. -
