Thanks, I have found that to be the case. Metal and cement bits are semi-interchangeable. Wood bits is easily separated...

I have and i get it but 6 months later I forget. I assume you use them often enough or possibly just more intelligent. Not a concern and as stated on this thread, real men are proficient with drilsl. My less than manly self can easily find one of these creatures.

I rarely use them since I fell in love with contact cement. I tell myself that it is the better option and it isn't as permanent as a drill hole and I always make mistakes. For those seldom drill users, HTF do you tell the difference between the cement and metal bits. I gave up and just go with the right size.

they did stop him as he stated in another thread. More power to him if he can get his thrill walking the subway. I myself do walk back and forth for exercise. Subways are interesting if you don't wait in a gel state. Arguably more entertaining than posting here.

Too good to be true 🙂 I might try but I have my serious doubts it will make the slightest difference. Worth trying...

Maybe and I might. I live in the jungle basically with ponds and streams on the property.

Fair enough. I probably would assume the hospital would check for Dengue but a more proactive response definitely wouldn't hurt. The risks of death are slim so I wouldn't be overly concerned but then it could be too late. I would still be one of those types that isn't overly concerned... Been to ER's in many countries and survived the painful experiences( most were the result of random bad luck more than bad choices but not all). We all make choices and some are just better at dealing with the consequences as well as making better choices. If someone dies because they make a questionable choice, I definitely wouldn't nonchalantly drink my morning coffee and think good riddance. Sad day for his loved ones.

Bad night? How about just having some fun and dealing with the consequences? Shttt happens and this dead guy didn't do anything outrageously dangerous IMO. From your perspective though it was irresponsible which I respect but I take larger risks all the time with little concern.

Back in my younger days I hitched my way through Alaska for a few months. Mosquitoes were terrible at times and basically had to wear a net that covered the head. I'll buy some lemon grass today. I have an Ice bath that isn't easily screened off, I use to cool down and soothe my back when it acts up. 5-10 bites every bath! I don't mind a few bites every day but why tempt fate...

People here get it here but in the provinces the hospital bill is far from concerning. I think you just have to live life to its fullest and take reasonable precautions. This year was insane, for reasons I won't bore people by explaining, and yesterday made it nearly impossible for them to get into the home or the surrounding patio. Drinking a coffee shirtless next to our pond and little creak right now!

I would rather live a wet dreary country than wear long pants, socks , and long sleave shirts all the time. To each his own and at least when it come to Dengue, the authorities don't mandate what is required. Does the lemon grass work? Doesn't have to work 100% but even 25% would be worth it. I just finished installing about 30 square maters of mosquito screen and my big patio and house are without mosquitoes! One step outside of the enclosed area and they attach with a vengeance.

No, they are just having some fun at your expense and a few have comprehension issues. Most know the OP has nothing to do with offensive behavior.

True, doubt many Brits are committing white collar crimes nor would the petty crime Brits even know how to go about committing such a crime. Brits outside of Thailand are fine and even here there are quality Brits but why all the violent types as well as racists here? I've asked myself this many times over the last 20 years. They have never caused more than aggravation for me personally so possibly the rep is worse than the reality.

All my friends rich or not seem to be doing OK financially. Mentally some are not in a good place but that's complicated. I think the world is fine but that could Definately change. Nothing much has changed the last 50 years other than more people have shiny objects they can play with, most people are fat, and mental health is challenging. We have it too easy and have too much time to think and that is probably bad.

It's human nature and you're right it is silly but it is reality. People want to feel as important as the next person and they also want an equal opportunity. Many rich people start on third base and work hard but much easier than starting in the batter's box. Ignore human nature and the risk of bad outcomes increase.

That is mass shooting which are basically inconsequential in regards to total gun crime. I'm not a racist just a realist. Below is who is being killed. Probably can make your own deductions form this data.

True but many would rather have one vs a thousand. So few of the batteries are failing, there isn't an efficient means to repair or replace batteries. I assume in the next 10 years the battery replacement or repair will be much more affordable when EVs have old batteries with over 300k kilometers on them. Hard to build the infrastructure when there is so little demand for battery service centers.

True but what are the odds that this wouldn't be detected if the battery was tested? Nothing is guaranteed in life other than being wrong and death as well as few other things but you get the point... IMO, you are much more likely to verify the health of an EV battery than the engine of an ICE. I think this even applies to experienced ICE mechanics. Just too many variables that can't be determined with ICE. That being said my ICE vehicles have served me very well! I haven't had a major repair in decades.

Even 5 years ago I had my doubts but how any rational mind today could come the conclusion that fossil fuels are the answer is odd. I'm selfish and am not overly concerned about the environment. Sad but true I think. I just want to get from point A to B in a comfortable fashion and spend less money doing so. Also I could spend 150K for a solar/battery setup and have AC running all day, pond pumps, ice bath constantly chilled, fans running all over the house and not have to pay a dime to PEA most months. Too lazy to start the project at the moment but someday soon.

Disgusting and seen even worse solar panel waste. Better than an oil spill? Solar isn't perfect and I have my reservations about the risk of global warming but the cost of using solar is much lower than coal. There is no stopping this train! Before it never had momentum but far from the case now. Cheap energy will be here very soon regardless of the good or bad in regards to the environment. Money talks!

It really doesn't matter. If your battery SoH is high. If you left your car in storage and like a fool kept it charged to 100% for six months the battery would be damaged slightly and the SoH would be not as good. They Definately can be damaged but they can't be damaged and that damage not reflected in the SoH. Much better than opening the hood of an ice car and trying to verify if the owner took care of it. Not possible to verify with 100% accuracy the battery but darn close.

It's hard for some to wrap their head around if all they have known is lead acid batteries. The SoH in lead acid batteries is dependent on so many factors that don't really apply to LifePO4 batteries with a functional BMS. For example, lead acid batteries SoH plumets if you consistently discharge below 50%. Replacing car batteries is something many do every few years on ICE cars and that mentality is applied to new battery technology in an EV. The only downside of an EV for most is the risk of damaging the battery which can happen (99% accidents). This will be hardly an issue in 5-10 years when there will be a demand for battery replacement and capitalism kicks in. I bet in 10 years replacement will cost less then 300k baht. IMO, new EV buyers are going to have many less reservations in a the near future.

Strange but I'll take your word for it. Maybe, for better or worse, they want to keep this data safe considering it is by far the most important part of the car. Assume the capacity is provided and this percentage would reflect fast charging. Tesla owners have posted lots of vids about their battery capacity after many years of use and they have this data. I lack the new battery knowledge to be sure though...

The new batteries have basically a mini computer that tracks the health of the battery among other things Have three such batteries around the house I use for different things over the past 5 years.

Cost to replace the battery on Tesla Model 3 is around 700,000 baht ( only 16% of original cost of car). Battery prices are plummeting and the new batteries last 2,000 cycles (over 500k kilometers). Other than an accident, I could drive the car into my next life. I lover my petrol truck and fortunate I don't need a new card for the next few years. With all the data available today I still am not confident enough to pull the trigger. Just need a smidgen more verification that an EV is by far the better choice for me.
