    Yeah that stuff is way worse than sugar and cancer causing. It also tastes horrible, i never drink coke zero, i bought it a few times by accident and just throw it away after one sip.

     

    I don't get the point anyway, same like drinking a 0% beer. Just gay.

    i was not referring to diet/zero but yeh agreee just nasty
    Pepsi max contains the most aspartame
    mountain dew the most sugar
    the companies are evil, and they produce tonnes of products between them
    research coca cola in south america
    in India some farmers used coca cola as pesticide

    After years I did another attempt to find unsweetened condensed milk. Gave up.

    Sweetened, sweetened AND mixed with palm oil (another "healthy" highlight) or completely from palm oil (faking).

    So I remain tied to coffee mate. Made of:

    palm oil ☹️

    it is extremely easy to make your own condensed milk
    (the clue is in the name)
    i too have searched for unsweetened, carnation stopped selling it years ago
    Falcon used to do an unsweetened milk, but now its unsweetened filled milk which contains palm oil
    all you need to do to make condensed milk is condense it
    put 2 litres of milk in pan on low heat and let it reduce till 1 litre of condensed milk remains, simples????

  3. i got one of those cheap ones
    it still works after years
    but you cannot use it for long periods, or at least i dont
    starts to get a bit hot and stinky
    problem is the coffee is not ground fine
    unless you wait for it to cool down and do again or take a chance on burning it out
    its is not suitable for grinding more than 1-2 cups worth every 20 mins or so imo
    if you want for nomal use, i would suggest getting something of better quality designed to run for longer

    maybe something like this would be better

    Actually, I did design the system to be a hybrid system running on or off grid.  The hybrid inverters I bought (3 x 5.5Kw) wouldn't export surplus power to the grid properly, they did a little bit but threw away most of the power.  So I added in 3 x 6Kw G-T inverters and put all the PV on those but left the LFP batteries on the hybrid inverters and switched them into UPS mode.

     

    My batteries were sourced from China by my deceased friend's Chinese ex-wife and whilst 28.8 KwHrs only cost me about 80k THB, I think they are too expensive to cycle every day.

     

    In EV's mostly you are keeping them between 30% and 80%, in your mobile you are charging them up to 100% with the result my iPhone battery died in a year.  If you use your home solar batteries charging to 100% every day, you may only get 3-5 years out of them.  My batteries would probably cost 200k THB to replace, and if supplied by a Thai Co. then good luck with a warranty claim.

    Felicity now have an office in BKK, batts come with 6000 cycle warranty (not that i care about that TBH)
    if you increase your storage enough you can easily keep batts in mid range
    so you do have the option to go off grid and could possibly do it
    (but nobody would notice if you did)
    But you choose to stay connected to the grid that uses fossil fuels, while preaching fossil fuel bad?

    RWC is on Bein Sports.

    1,700 Baht for the whole competition live and catch up.

     

    My Subscription Information | beIN SPORTS CONNECT

    not bad price, what is the quality like?
    usually i catch up on Rugby next day on rugby24

    not many games will be played at reasonable time to watch live here
    i was planning to watch some on ITV and RTE with VPN
    but quality looks pooh, but catch up streams are also a little hit and miss

    My system is grid-tied but I run as close to nett zero metering as I can, usually my bill is 60-80 baht and on average bill without solar would be circa 8,300 baht for me.

    you mean you spin your meter backwards, dangerously exporting to the grid without permission/license
    but then night time you revert back to depending on that dirty fossil fuel grid power?
    8k baht so you got what 15KW PV, but no storage?

    I don't have stats for how many fires resulted in the vehicle being written off

    1. 1 Wiring Faults, this is one of the "leading causes of car fires" that was the title of the article so clearly people DID NOT discover them.
    2. 2 Igniting dry leaves is the car catching fire if it spreads to the car (no hot exhaust on an EV)
    3. 3 Most cars do not have after run cooling for the engine oil quoted in the article, most oil pumps are mechanically driven from the crankshaft, if there is any cooling it's from the electric radiator fan, which one can postulate would fan the flames.
    4. 4 I agree relevant, but still a leading cause of parked car fires.

    already adressed these bogys issues
    and that source....... LOL

    I don't have the stats, but it's actually quite common, here's an article Causes of a parked car fire (leamastech.com)

     

    Common causes of parked car fire

    1. Wiring fault

    Electrical cables that are exposed can have contact with each other, create a short circuit (bridge) and cause fire. This is more likely when cables of opposite charge (+ve and -ve) bridge together. They heat up immediately and begin to burn.

     

    2. Hot exhaust

    An exhaust that is very hot and close to the ground can ignite dry leafs or papers. The probability of exhaust causing fire is higher when the catalytic converter is blocked. A blocked catalytic converter can glow red hot and have very high temperature that can easily ignite papers and leafs.

     

    3. Engine oil leakage

    Engine oil on a very hot engine is a recipe for fire disaster especially if the oil is diluted with fuel. When a car is parked after being driven, it does not get the continuous cooling from the cooling system and after a while, the engine becomes very hot. This is why some vehicles have after-run cooling function such that after the engine has been turned off, the cooling fan still runs and the coolant still circulate for few minutes.

     

    4. Sabotage

    This is when someone deliberately sets fire on the car with the intention to punish or harm the car owner. Cases like this have been heard in the past and are still possibly happening.

    and how many of these result in the car being written off?
    oh you don't have any numbers......????‍♂️
    so quite common you don't ever hear about it....????‍♂️

    1. this would likely be discovered easily especially with newer cars, i have had wiring faults
    2. ignites dry leaves, that is not the car catching
    3. most modern cars have after-run cooling
    4. obviously not the car
    completely irrelevant comment TBH, no stats and just drivel for you to reinforce your belief
