Thailand’s EV initiative: Driving towards a greener future
AgMech Cowboy replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
JB, maybe you should educate yourself. A lot of what Grusa said is correct, but the EV for government vehicles to use around Bangkok is a good idea. Upcountry, not so much, unless it's use is only in a city. I don't think hydrogen will ever replace ICE or EV, but it would be 'better' if it could. Fuel cells, fusion etc, that's out there, but when you balance the emissions and environmental impact of the EV it's not 'green' for the world, but will help with local problems. (there is crap infrastructure though, unless they can use the golf course charging stations). -

Americans with Social Security, Need VPN

Ok.. I've gotten one for every year I've been drawing from SSA since Jan 2018. -
You know how to make a point.

I also take a small amount of Lasix diuretic 10mg. (I cut 20mg pill in half).

I guess you're experiencing leg cramps at night, too. The doctor should have tested you for hyperkalemia. I hope you don't have it. I control my potassium levels by mixing Kalimate with 30cc water and drinking it with one of my meals. I space it out over a few bites. WHen the doctor first gave this to me in hospital her staff just mixed it and had me drink the whole mixture straight away. Good luck. There is another method that I was prescribed, but it involves taking a cortisone steroid derivative (oh it's only a little they said). I gained 20 kg over the next 18 months. I've managed over the past year to lose 10kg. The steroid causes you to produce a hormone that tells your body to store your food (aka build fat). (The kalimate can also be administered in an enima, but I haven't gone that route. I normally mix one packet per day)

Aw, @richard_smith237, are you feeling persecuted??? Imagine being a 'relatively' conservative US citizen... ???? You're a good dude... I agree 100% with the 'whole' comment you made.

American Tourist Arrested for Stabbing Incident in Chiang Mai
AgMech Cowboy replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News
Oh I think you're confused. This guy was definitely 'triggered' by something someone said, like, "BLM is a scam" or "Don't mutilate children". -
Almost 12 million meth pills seized in Nakhon Phanom and Phichit
AgMech Cowboy replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
No it will stay about the same. It might even go down because they'll realize Thailand is still fighting the war against drugs. Most people won't go from a drug which is suppose to chill them out to one that hypes them up. -
Famous Thai rock band Carabao to disband in March

Making me like them even more. -
Kind of reminds me of 2011. Elected a new Pheu Thai government, everybody too busy getting there blessings (or hopeful blessings) laid upon them, kissing the feet, etc. No one does there job and pays attention to the height of water in the reservoirs. I hope all of a sudden we don't get hit with 3 (or more) typhoons coming across Vietnam and Laos/Cambodia in the next 2 months.

Teenage Thai drone racer Milk clinches third world title

No telling when the photo was taken. Could have been in Northern Japan last year... You track it down for us. -
Excellent move. In the next 10-20 years when the EV owner (average income) needs to trade in the car and/or buy a new battery, they'll be looking for an ICE vehicle to replace it. EV are also not that 'environmental'. After all, they require electricity and the solar and wind generated systems will not meet the demand. For the consumers of much greater than average income, they'll have one EV and one ICE (as a backup or for long distance). Not everyone can have an advance team to drive ahead and reserve the charging station with an ICE vehicle.

@Sheryl Sheryl, is there a contact there whom you recommend? -
New Toyota Yaris Cross question?
AgMech Cowboy replied to SBACM's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I have to say, after watching the video and seeing the interior of the car, it's a nice package. Maybe 'climbing' out wouldn't be so bad. Good luck with your purchase. Driving on Thailand's roads brings about a new awareness and appreciation of the traffic police in the UK and USA. (Motorcycles can be more closely associated with swarming flies. They come out and around from everywhere. And the solid, do not pass, line on the highway means nothing to many drivers, especially hotshot delivery drivers). Good luck. -
New Toyota Yaris Cross question?
AgMech Cowboy replied to SBACM's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
???????? Gee, I'm only 172 cm (aka 5' 7-3/4"), 231 lbs and just 70 years old, but I've thought the same since I was 55 and only 192 lbs. Any vehicle that I would own needs to be at least 7.8" off the ground. The Yaris Cross is only 6.7" (170mm). That makes a big difference on the knee strain. -
Gee, golly, gosh... Someone wet all over my leg.

My last TM30 was in 2019. I've had a new Visa from Savannakhet or Cambodia every 5 to 17 months since that time except the COVID year+. I've even gotten a new passport. I removed the receipt from the old passport and stapled it into the new one in 2021. Never been questioned. (but prior to 2019 I was submitting one every time I stayed away from the house).
