    What is so hard to understand about the fact that the atmosphere frequently purges itself of water vapor when a saturation point is reached? This phenomenon is known as precipitation. Have you heard of rain, sleet, snow, and hail? And when the day comes that it starts to precipitate dry ice because the atmosphere is saturated with CO2,  you'll have a point. Until then, not so much.

    Wow.

    Thanks for clarifying.

    Twitter is a septic tank since musk bought it.

     

    Interesting that "The Twitter Files", initially hyped as "the story of the decade", ended with Mom and Day getting a divorce. About the only productive thing to come out of that hot-mess was reliving Chrissy Tiegen's post about trump, and the GOVERNMENT (aka the trump administration) demanding that her post be removed because it upset trump.

     

    Twitter targets its rival Substack, forcing well-known journalists to choose
    Matt Taibbi, whom Elon Musk solicited to write the ‘Twitter Files,’ says he’ll start using Substack’s new Twitter clone

    Anything you sit astride on is being ridden. Examples being a motorcycle, bicycle, tricycle, horse, camel, or an ostrich.

    Nearly everything with four wheels you drive. Obviously a quad bike being one exception.

     

    Does one ride or drive on a ferris wheel.?

    ... a team of horses.?

    ... a hard bargain.?

    That is because most people do not understand the definition of human trafficking. It is not saying the person is doing something against their will. It merely means the facilitation of a person from one place to another for the purpose of paid sex. So if the manager paid for a ticket from Isaan to Pattaya for a girl to work at the bar then that is human trafficking. If you paid a bar girl from Pattaya to go on holiday to Krabi with you, then that is also human trafficking.

    noun

    the unlawful act of transporting or coercing people in order to benefit from their work or service, typically in the form of forced labor or sexual exploitation.

    "she is a victim of human trafficking"

     

     

  5. Took the Mighty Lifan in for some service.

    The chain was slapping on broken ground so

    replacing the worn front sprocket and

    re-positioning the hard rubber guard/guide on the swing arm

    cured that.

    The speedo needle was doing that jumpy thing,

    so mech lubed the cable & gear.

    Added some brake fluid to R resiviour,

    Aired tires to 32/30psi.

    B200.

    Had local guy hand wash & detail her.

    Songkran.

    I was going to buy one of these just in case.

    After exploring mounting systems. I thought no. I'll simply go to my local shop and buy two Whiskey bottles (1.5l) of 91 octane and bung then under the seat, suitable protected.  When I get back from a ride if I haven't used the fuel then I can simply poor the fuel into the tank and return the bottles to my local shop.

    Every village sells scooter fuel.

    Falang tink too mut.

    Maybe 1 liter in plastic oil bottle

    if you just can't help yourself.

    ICEs ... smoky, noisy and unnecessary ????

    Not smokey,

    most are very well muffled,

    & for the foreseeable future

    required to prevent total economic collapse.

    .Other than that,  ...  you are correct.

    &

    ICEs & ECEs (steam turbines)

    produce 90% of Thai electricity,

    by burning,

    mostly imported,  

    oil, coal & natural gas.

     

    Go Green !!

    The way to cut this down or even stop it altogether is to scrap the maximum daily fine limit

     

    Make it the 500 Baht a day indefinately and when you're caught you stay banged up into immigration detention until the full whack is paid off.......no payment then you stay there on rice and water to the day you drop off your mortal coil

     

    Over 2 Million Baht......if you cant pay then your children inherit the debt then your cousins and if all else fails the Mia Noi You are so wise.cops the lot

     

    Thats the way to do it......

     

    Next....????

    You are so wise,

    & practical-minded too.
