  1. An interesting video is linked but here's a screen shot of BYD quality.
  2. Who cares. What's the point. What about the more you do 0 to 100 in 4 seconds the less range you get and charging will be needed sooner with charging for most people with EV's requiring fossil fuels to make the electricity.
  3. Interesting. I'm 40 km from you and current temp where I am is 28 with full cloud. You are more inland than me so that probably accounts for it. It's been a lovely cool day where I am mainly hovering between 26-28. Just SW of BKK.
  4. I remember when saying that the vaccines could cause harm was an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory yet here we are on a thread about vaccine safety/harm. Interesting days indeed.
  5. I see Nakhon Pathom at 28°C at 4:00 pm.
  6. Big cool change today. 26°C at one point. I almost felt cold. Even though Thailand doesn't have a summer the BIG HOT of the hottest April leading into May ever, is finally over. Time for the humid days as we move towards the wet. Let's hope it's a good long one this year.
  7. So what happened about the Thai fisherman who was also illegally fishing or am I missing something here?
  8. Thailand is a dumping ground for cheap Chinese EV's. Now China wants to start making them here presumably because it's cheaper.
  9. No. I looked it up. The 1 mil is an extra for the paint job. The repair to the tail end is Bt11.2 mil. Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class PriceThe Maybach S-Class is priced at ฿17.54 Million. https://www.zigwheels.co.th/en/new-cars/mercedes-benz/maybach-s-class#:~:text=Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class Price,priced at ฿17.54 Million. Edit: No. I'm wrong. S580e goes for around the 10 mil mark so you are correct. My apologies. So yes the article is a total shambles.
  10. I have no problem with new variants becoming increasingly contagious. Still not as cotagious as measles though. The takeaway is that it is a non-serious highly contagious virus for the vast majority of people and is very similar to the common cold in the respect of symptoms and transmissability.
  11. The car goes for around Bt17-18mil and the repair cost for what looks not particularly serious (indeed seems to have come off much better than the pickup) is 11.2 mil.? Well something smells here. 3/4 of the price of the car in damage would normally result in a write off.
  12. Who would have been vaccinated if they were told it could kill you? "The chances of the vaccine causing severe injury, health issues or even death is highly unlikely but still possible." "We do not know what long term effects there might be but overall the vaccines are safe." Instead of these warnings people were forced to be vaccinated. I challenge anyone to say there's not something wrong here.
  13. So says ChatGPT. Tailending a Maybach is definitely not recommended but as for unique? Maybe this has never happened before ever in the entire world or maybe this is once again an incorrect use of the term unique. My money's on the latter.
  14. Agree. As for your last sentence may I say that less likely to be infected might not actually be the case. It may be that people still get infected being that Omicron is so infectious but they just don't get sick. Might get minimal symptoms or no symptoms at all but the immune system fights it off. An immune system that gets naturally boosted with each infection.
  15. I couldn't agree more. Sadly many people either can't see this or completely ignore it.
  16. Worst case scenario it takes lives.
  17. If you can't tell the difference between positing a question and making a statement what I posted was the former and as such no supporting evidence is required.
  18. An interesting point. Do boosters make a person more suseptable to getting covid?
  19. This says it all. There are almost 12,000 beaches in Australia and I'll bet each and every one of them is better.
  20. Please explain how the benefits outweigh the risks for anyone below 65. There's no significant difference. Why does the CDC still recommend jabs for 6 month olds when according to this there is no difference. 5-11. same. 18-29 same. 30-49 virtually no difference. 50-65 comorbidities start kicking in but still little difference. This whole thing is skewed by the 80+ group where age and severe comorbitities play a huge role. At this age a cold can be enough to kill you.
  21. People vaccinated does not automatically equate to lives saved. How is this number aquired? What was and now is the death rate between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated? Why did and still do vaccinated people die from (not with) covid-19? How can it possibly be known if a vaccinated person who contracted covid was "saved" by the jab and not their own immune system? How do we know that delta would have killed more and it's only the vaccines that prevented this? Why weren't entire populations of the unvaccinated killed by the virus e.g. countries with very low vaccination rates like in Africa or Eastern Europe? These are valid questions. As for goverments approaving vaccines this is done after extensive testing. This was as you well know not the case this time around. As for risk benefit as it stands what do you think is a greater risk to a healthy 25 year old. Omicron or an mRNA booster?
  22. Thank you once again for sharing the CDC information. It was the CDC that said the vaccines were safe in the 1st place was it not? Fairly sure the families of those who have died and those who have had or still suffer from serious injuries don't put too much faith in what the CDC says.
  23. It would seem then that rare occurances were enough to get these vaccines withdrawn. Rare occurances of DEATH isn't enough to get mRNA vaccines withdrawn though. This I find difficult to understand. I also wonder why AZ is still available at all. Surely a global withdrawal is needed.
  24. AZ withdrawn because of clots. This is a fact and an appropriate measure. Why else would it be withdrawn from the market if not deemed harmful to personal health? If I'm correct it never even made it into the US market. As for peer reviews I guess it's a question of who the peers are. Mind you blind faith will always be blind.
  25. What about people who are guests on YT sites. Professors of immunology for example. What do they have to gain? Highly published and well respected. Are they conspiracy theorists? What about people that questioned the efficacy and safety of the vaccines? Conspiracy theorists? Why was AZ and J&J withdrawn? Was this a conspiracy or were the vaccines deemed to be dangerous? Can you answer these questions?
