You cast it as a binary argument. So be it. (I noticed you were careful to make it clear which person you were referring to in your evaluation ????) . Here's another one for you that is just as valid; Vote for trump or vote against him as a "poor excuse for a human being". Note that many Republicans also made that choice in 2016 and will again if necessary, but in greater numbers this time around. The cheeto is out of the bag and his true colors showing now.

Ummmm, ahhhh. Do you have to be a Democrat to oppose the presidency of a moronic egomaniacal con man? I consider myself as a rational voter. That's the only requirement needed.

In a single heartbeat. But honestly I'd vote for Mickey Mouse over trump. The man is absolutely human detritus.

Even if Troppo didn't I will: Trump supporters are all mentally ill. They want to turn my country into their asylum. I'm not a psychiatrist nor play one on TV, but I bloody well know crazy when I see it.

He accomplished one thing that I'm eternally grateful for: He kept the Orange Clown out of office for the succeding four years. That's Man of the Year material in my opinion. The world really needed the break too. It provides justice a time to prosecute his multiple offenses and crimes against humanity.

Sure. Easily. Monks will sanctify a dead cat if you pay them enough.

Hmmm. Is that helpful or dangerous?

He was replying to my post.

Best advice yet. I trust MicroSlut as far as I can throw the state of Washington. When I moved here I left my win7 desktop at home and bought a win10 laptop. I regret it every day. Eventually I'll have to move to linux.

I don't buy power equipment from Global any more. They don't support it at all and sales staff knows <deleted> all about it. That last is generally true for all departments though. Your experience is just soooo Thai. After 6 years here I'm still shocked sometimes. Amazing Thailand.

One good thing did come out of it though. Somchai's son will take some time off from his social media accounts to wonder why so many people seem to hate his father.

I will not even attempt to explain the mind of the ones who support this vile man. It may not even be possible for a sane person to do. In the end it would be as disgusting and futile as cleaning a stopped toilet that you know will soon be overflowing with feces again soon anyway.

Times like this is when one longs for the days of frontier justice. Done and dusted in hours instead of years or decades.

They are still there and still think the same. Sad to say they will work for the destruction of American democracy for decades to come. Like that smell on your shoes that lingers long after you step in dogs**t.

And it's Green (at least what goes in the front end is!).

So true. And the ROI calculation should be more than worker wages vs cost of mower. Remember that hiring it done gets the lawn mowed by the workers; buying a mower doesn't. That's the calculus used when I decided to let local folks trim my 3m hedges instead of buying a hedge trimmer and decent ladder.

While this whimsical strategy might work (or not) for restaurant reviews, I suspect it's not bulletproof if the wrong people are after you. In many countries intent is a major factor in gauging guilt under the law. I, for one, don't have the guts to find out. Laws in the Kingdom are made to be bent.

Stay soft in other words. Got it. ????

The name 'Somchai' keeps popping up on forums here over the years. Usually it is associated with stupid/dangerous/ sometimes fatal/foolish/ disruptive/destructive and/or criminal acts. Is this the same guy? Asking for a friend.

Jokes are funny. This is shameful,especially the absentions. Abstentions should be disallowed, at least on the frost round of voting.

Maybe it will ease your mind to relate my brother's(76yo) recent USA transvalvular catheter replacement of his stenotic aortic valve, followed two weeks later by a catheter placement of clips on the prolapsing AV valve. Tye surgeon thought a porcine tissue valve wouod be needed but found clips added to native leaflets stiffened them enough to avoid gross prolapse. So far, so good, 2 months post-op. Both done under sedation, fully conscious procedure. Both fully successful with immediate relief of symptoms. For reference he is obese, diabetic, on pressure meds. These transvalvilar catheter procedures are relatively recent procedures but wildly successful and gaining popularity. Good luck to you. Think positive.

As an electrical design engineer playing with carbon-zinc batteries since the days of vacuum tube radios, I have followed battery technology avidly for 5 decades. Over that time I have read about so many 'breakthroughs' in battery technology that simply never reached store shelves. The ones that did, such as nickel-cadmium and metal hydride have been disappointing. Note that lead-acid still dominates for cost effective batteries. Lithium is a great improvement and I was an early adopter, especially lithium iron phosphate cells LiFePO4 in application designs. But these still have a cycle life if 300-500 charge-discharge cycles. Indeed, the solar yard lights that use Li cells only last about one year. So....... forgive me if I take such announcements with a pound of salt. As you say, "let's see".

Agree all. When I mentioned coulomb counting I added that the energy capacity of the battery declines over time, and is thus another variable. Also the coulombs that the battery holds when 'fully charged', is not a constant. Standard methods such as measuring the voltage if a 'fully charged' battery are actually very poor at predicting energy stored., A gas tank always holds the same amount, when full, throughout the life of the vehicle. And of course you don't have to replace the gas tank every few years for thousands of $. ????

Of course you are correct. I think Yellowtail was being facetious.

You put your finger on it. That fact, together with 'range anxiety' are the principal concerns. It's well known that weather extremes of heat or cold significantly affect vehicle range. Unlike ICE gas tank gauges, the best way to monitor battery capacity is 'coulomb counting'. It cannot be as accurate as a tank gauge at range estimation because of variables like ambient temperature and declining full charge energy. EV sales are flat in America and many are dubious of them and put off by high prices. Personally, at my age I hope I never have to buy one. They have zero appeal for me.
