  1. Those days aren't what they used tk be. Steroids and test were easy to get in the early 2000's. Valium and all that good stuff was too. It's still around but not nearly as easy
  2. She's probably the type that likes the drama
  3. As if the farangs that washed up on Pattayas shores 25 years ago were all model citizens.
  4. Sheeple are easily amused. 2+ million followers for some bird sh** farang dross festooned in Pattaya
  5. The farangs are the ones acting like children by being all confrontational about petty little things. If you want to go around treating strangers in public like you treated other kids on playground in elementary school then just stay home. Defending ones honor also seems to be a foreign concept to some ppl
  6. The ship probably stocked up on penicillin before the trip
  7. Not true at all. It happened in a bend. In good weather , by himself. He obviously didn't know how to counter steer. Like millions of others out there and the thousands who have fatalities around the world, they didn't know how to ride.
  8. Never knew how to properly counter steer
  9. Get a dumb charger if possible. Because smart chargers won't even attempt to charge your battery if it is drained too much. And the battery could be perfectly fine. If you have to get a smart charger , look online for how to trick it into charging a battery like it is supposed to with a 9 volt battery
  10. Em no. Its hard not to think about them even when they are covered
  11. It would be awesome. Just like Baku's race is. This is why dictatorship is preferable to mobocracy. Things can get done
  12. And heroin was available over the counter. As was cocaine. There was a lot of things happening less than 50 years ago. Whats your point
  13. It had nothing to do with my feelings. What you said was just wrong. Very very wrong.
  14. A mechanic friend of mine just sent me this pic. He charged up a completely dead battery from an old car he just bought. With a "smart" trickle charger. He just uses a small float charger to trick the "smart" charger into working. If it was an old "dumb" trickle charger, you wouldn't have to trick it. It would just power on when you plug it in. Which is the moral of the thread for anyone who just likes sharing information and learning. Instead of getting triggered by my tone. I guess I have to be more politically correct in the shop for some of the sensitive types.
  15. This comment just shows how manifestly clueless and arrogant some people can manage to be. Amazing really. Here is an article explaining how to charge up a flat dead battery. And guess what. They are using a trickle charger. https://www.hagerty.com/media/maintenance-and-tech/wrenchin-wednesday-outsmarting-the-smart-battery-charger/
  16. It was a drained battery genius. Not a dead flat battery genius. Understand that genius ? Or should I draw a picture.
  17. If an old charger or a tricked "smart" charger fails, you can always try this
  18. So a battery charger is the wrong tool to charge a battery. Got it. Anyway, you should be glad you learned something in this thread so you can stop throwing away functional batteries. Because that's what the owners manual of your charger says to do.
  19. The problem with your "smart" charger is , if your battery is drained too much , it will refuse to charge it and mark it as defective. When there's nothing wrong with the battery at all. You will be throwing away a functioning battery. And the owners manual of your charger will instruct you to do this. But a "dumb" charger could just bring it back up to charge. But that's not a problem. You can trick your "smart" charger into being a dumb charger so that you can avoid throwing away your perfectly ok battery.
  20. For those who don't know , "repair mode" on a "smart charger" is not some high tech thing. It is just like having a dumb charger hooked on in the first place. From Hagarty https://www.hagerty.com/media/maintenance-and-tech/wrenchin-wednesday-outsmarting-the-smart-battery-charger/ While you’ll often find that the battery is as dead as Zed and will need to be replaced, there’s an off-chance that the sulfate layer on the battery’s lead plates can be removed with a long recharge. If your “smart” charger doesn’t already have a desulfate mode, which bypasses some of these safety measures and charges the battery in waves to attempt to break-off and dissolve the lead-sulfur crust that have built up on the battery’s plates, you can use a helper battery to trick the charger into activating and providing its full juice — which will hopefully start the desulfation process inside the battery. In other words, a dumb charger is doing the exact same thing that a "smart" charger does when it in "repair" or "desulfate" mode. And is why dumb chargers can revive dead batteries
  21. I was going to disconnect the battery but the car was parked out front. Disconnecting the battery disables all the security features. So anyone can break into my vehicle while I'm away.
  22. If you get a drained battery tested , they are going to say to throw it out. So you are saying by default that you would throw away a good battery that just needs a charge. I have charged drain batteries a million times with old style constant voltage trickle chargers. And nobody said anything about a short amount of time. It takes at minimum a full night or all day.
  23. Useless analogy. Goes to show you haven't wrenched on anything in your life
  24. Nevermind. That answers my question. And you unintentionally tricked the smart charger into working. But somehow you couldn't understand that this is what I was explaining in my post
