Should be obvious to see because automatic transmissions will show the currently selected gear somewhere in the dash while a CVT doesn't. ATs usually also have a manual mode.

Some CVTs fake the sensation of gears. I know the Honda Civic had such a feature for example. It would just clumb through the revs and then jump back down for no mechanical reason just so it sounds and feels like a real gear shift. Some people might also mistake a CVT shifting gears because especially with lower torque ones they tend to jump to higher revs if you want to accelerate as they need the revs to make any kind of power and then quickly rev down again to get into a more efficient RPM range. That jump up could be mistaken for a down-shift and conversely the jump down in revs could be mistake for an up-shift.

Who is cherry picking here? The people who focus on a single quarter or the people who take into consideration the broader context and longer timeframes?

Completely misleading title and article. The UK had a much more massive decline the quarter before and are now on a rebound. The EU declined less so doesn't need a rebound of that size. Remember Growth is always relative. If you look at longer timeframes then the UK is massively lagging behind the EU. That's not from some EU source but the UK parliament. I hope the UK can step up its game. *looking awkwardly at Germany*. Source https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02784/

So a Luk khrueng?

Just a nitpick but it's Chrome, not Google. Or Google Chrome. But Google itself usually refers to the search engine not the browser. Might help in the future if you have some issue and are... googling for an answer 🙂

What an absolutely heart-stopping ordeal! The way that tiger cub turned the peaceful village of Bang Pakong into a scene from a horror movie is beyond belief! The villagers must have been terrified out of their wits, with a wild beast roaming their streets in the dead of night. The chaos and panic must have been overwhelming. Hats off to Deputy Inspector Pongphop Kudhom and the brave rescue team for facing such a ferocious beast with unparalleled courage. Their bravery and quick action in confronting the tiger and protecting the community are truly commendable. The scene outside house number 12/2 must have been sheer pandemonium, with everyone in disbelief at the sight of the tiger. This incident is a stark reminder of nature's unpredictable fury and the bravery required to face it. It's incredible how the rescue workers and police officers managed to subdue the tiger despite the danger. This will definitely be a story told for generations, a tale of terror and heroism that the people of Bang Pakong will never forget.

It's trivial to make the AI not use such bombastic tone. Really, you literally can tell it to "tone it down a bit" or "keep it more factual" or whatever and it's a done deal. If this stays the "new normal" for the news section then I'll skip it entirely as I suspect most intelligent readers that value their time will do. What will be left is anyones guess.

Dealers are the wrong place for such restrictions. They can sell to people who don't even have a valid license and that's totally fine. Licenses are the permission to ride on public roads. Companies can also buy bikes and companies can't have licenses. I know no dealer in Thailand who would hesitate to sell a bike to someone unexperienced. I have bought 5 bikes here and not once was my experience any talking point. And that's fine.

Best example why cc is a stupid measure because any modern liter sports bike with less than half the cc will fly past that thing like it's a tractor with an anchor. Power is a much better metric. As mentioned Thailand already produces bikes that are compatible with EU rules which have the A2 license where a bike must not produce more than 47HP and must not produce more than 95HP when unrestricted. Another killer for cc based regulations are of course electric bikes which have zero cc.

The one who asks people on a forum to lay out each and every fact of the trial. The one who asks for statutes. The one who hasn't bothered to read the indictment or charges but asks others to present them. The one using "Trump deranged". And the one who calls people names. You.

What journalist?

Don't bother, Yagoda is a troll. Asking for someone to lay out a case against Trump on a topic about a case being run against Trump...

Try to see if you can call or email the local embassy that handles the application. They didn't answer because he found no email to contact them and didn't provide any reason in the rejection email (which one cannot answer to as it's a no-reply address).

WTF? The AI is going mad. A tragic event of a young woman dying and Thaiger/AseanNow can't be bothered to write a proper article. For shame.

CCs don't mean too much. kW/HP is what would matter. They could just copy the rules from the EU and be done with it. At least then they would have already aligned with the manufacturers who developed models specifically around those rules.

Oh, the sheer audacity! The unbridled temerity of this audacious gang of motorcyclists in the otherwise tranquil bastion of Khon Kaen! Such a brazen display of reckless vehemence and egregious disdain for the sacrosanct rules of the road leaves one utterly agog. To disturb the peaceful repose of this serene city with such flagrant and foolhardy antics is nothing short of scandalous! Indeed, these hellions on wheels, shrouded in the anonymity of their devilish helmets, dare to taunt the fates by flaunting their temerarious exploits for the digital applause of social media spectators. Such wanton disregard for communal harmony and pedestrian sanctity in the bustling nerve centers of our beloved city—oh, the horror! I implore, nay, I demand that the guardians of civility, our esteemed constabulary, escalate their valiant efforts. We must extinguish this inflammatory spectacle that threatens to engulf our city’s peace in the fiery blaze of unchecked tumult and turmoil! Rise, oh enforcers of order! Mobilize with alacrity and assert your indomitable might! Restore the hallowed calm of Khon Kaen and banish these daredevil disruptors to the shadowy fringes from whence they came. Let not another moment pass where the citizens quiver under the tyranny of these rogue wheel-warriors! Photo for reference only. Courtesy of Google

The prosecution has to present evidence to the jury. Known already or not doesn't matter. How else do you think this trial should work?

In the OPs language which is the language of the forum it just means he came off and since he was not the taxi rider there's no reason to believe the taxi crashed. He could have simply fallen down while trying to dismount.

What an absolutely tragic yet riveting story! A volunteer organization, usually a beacon of hope and altruism, becomes the center of an unthinkable event. The astonishing and heartbreaking act of one volunteer taking another's life over a personal disagreement is beyond belief. Kudos to the police for their rapid and heroic response, swiftly apprehending the perpetrator and ensuring justice is served. The authorities’ commendable discretion in handling this sensitive matter is truly praiseworthy. It’s reassuring to see such professionalism in keeping the public informed without compromising the investigation. The poignant scene at the forensic institute, where loved ones gathered to mourn, underscores the deep emotional impact of this tragedy. Let us hope justice is swiftly served, honoring the memory of the victim and bringing peace to the bereaved family.

Must be a really successful beauty clinic owner as they seem to have opened also internationally because the picture is not from Thailand. Hm but then again it's not even a clinic but rather some random stock photo of a salon. I'll keep it then as a "file photo for reference only" I guess. Links to sources seem to be verboten by the AI overlords nowerdays. Maybe it really happened as reported, maybe not.

And it looks like they took the image from thephuketnews.com via screenshot feature of the Opera browser, check the filename "Opera-Snapshot_2024-05-13_112008_www.thephuketnews.com_.jpg". Of course no mentioning of ThePhuketNews, just "Photo courtesy of The Thaiger". The AI generated rewritten news is really annoying. What a crappy article again. When reading the same news on other outlets some of the details posted here are totally absent. Can't believe any news anymore posted here because half of it could be hallucinated by the AI.

Not worth it to get a lawyer at this stage. Don't sign papers that you don't understand. It would be a good idea to take a Thai that you trust so they can help with understanding the situation fully and also not looking like a lone guy that can easily be fleeced.

Accidental or not it sounds like it was indeed your fault as you dropped the bag onto the road. Mandatory government insurance pays for smaller medical expenses which it sounds like that should be the case. So if they ask you to pay for that then check if insurance covered it or they'll just pocket that money. I hope you have made pictures at the scene or they might claim whatever damages the bike has. It can help if you can present whitnesses, maybe even the taxi driver. Or ask some of the shops if you can get the CCTV footage. This only matters if they try to make a big story out of it and ask for bigger than reasonable compensation. Could also help if you can show that they were somehow travelling illegally (do they have a license? did they wear a helmet? was the bike roadworthy? did they drive in a dangerous way or break traffic rules?).

Makes no sense. The court case already happened, he already talked. He was convicted. None of the crackpottery gay sex or drug nonsense went anywhere as there's zero evidence. Just people on the other political side throwing slandering theories around.
