How much time do you spend in traffic now?

You will not be made to cower & comply to it. They will just make sure that everything they do not want hoi-polloi to have. like big homes, cars, carports yards, pets and whatnot will just become incredibly unaffordable. You need to be stuffed in a tiny apartment, work from home, have your stuff delivered, and only read and see what they approve.

The kept me from getting a haircut for over a year, Not at first, no. What does this say: laws and regulations that will limit your personal movement to no more than a 15 minute drive from your place of residence. Seems pretty clear doesn't it? Yes, I like riding in a helicopter when they are available, but they are often not.

Fifteen+ years with only filters twice a year, and once a year brush off the area around the filter and wipe the louvers off with a wet rag. With a cassette, the return air is drawn up through the filter, across and down through the coil so the coil stays much dryer, and the fan never gets wet.

I clean the filters myself and I don't clime on the bed, I use a small ladder. The cassette filters (at least mine) are pleated so the surface area is much greater, and the dust does not drop off as easily. Yours is a good point if the room is very small, but it has not been an issue for me. Cleaning the filter does not seem to make a mess, and if I did drop the filter on the bed, I would just wash the bed-clothes. I just hose the filters off in the shower and put them back in.

I believe in man-made climate change, I think we quit making global warming when sales went down. Necessary to who? Who gets to decide what is and is not necessary, the state? What about e-cars? People drive cars on the street, and people can walk on the sidewalk. 60%? That's hilarious. Is this not mostly diet?

I will likely not, but I'm happy for the Dutch. As the cost is driven up no doubt. We'll see To who? I expect if the party elites have their way, the hoi-polloi will be reduced to subsistence living, yes? Never. How often do you take your car just to justify owning one?

Yeah, but again, it seems to be criminalizing behavior, and again, I am not defending it nor do I support it.

I had optical and it paid for lenses every year and frames every tw0.

How are identities identified without behavior? I agree this kind of thing in appalling, and I support cutting off any aid and whatnot to all the countries that criminalize this type of behavior.

What is in the legislation?

Good luck with the wife. I worked in HVAC for twenty years in Thailand and my wife still believes the kid at Home-Pro over me...

Likely because they do not want to pay for new glasses every year.

Actually. it is not " about a country legislating to jail people simply for existing.", to be honest, it's about a country legislating to jail people for particular behaviors. To be clear, I do not support the legislation, nor am I excusing it, but it is what it is.

We had (according to the Vet) a cobra spit in our dog's eye and it was a mess for a while... She got a few snakes a year, RIP Shiro, you were a great dog.

Indeed, over 10% polled WANT the government to impose laws and regulations that will limit your personal movement to no more than a 15-minute drive from your place of residence in order to save the planet from man-made global warming. But the key word in the above is your, THEY never suffer the consequences of their own ideology/policies.

Unlike wall units, the cassette units (in my experience) typically do not need any service beyond occasionally clearing the filter, because they have a propeller fan that stays dry all the time, as opposed to a wheel/squirrel-cage fan that stays wet most of the time. Most split units marketed in the US have to both heat and cool, so comparing Thai models to them makes little sense. Some cassette models allow you to open one, two, three or all four directions.

Well, our little girl get's everything that moves, how's Panda?

No, it's just more honest than the people pushing it want to admit. The end game it to get the hoi-polloi in concentrated areas where they only walk or take public transportation where they need to go, and don't own cars. That it will greatly improve the lives of the rich is just a coincidence, I'm sure...

Exactly. Who owns cars in Singapore? The rich, and the people that serve them.

So it's only (effectively) a wall for the hoi-polloi then, yes? That makes sense.

It's a problem for some, but not for others. But yes, the party elites would like to get the hoi-polloi to stay in "their" areas and hoof-it to wherever they need to be such that they (the party elites) do not have to worry about traffic and undesirables in their (the party elites) areas.

It would not be possible, but it does not matter to the people promoting it. It sounds good, that's enough for many.

Okay, I think I have driven in quite a number of big cites. I grew up in LA county and drove there every day for about twenty years (ten in the '70s & '80s and ten in the '90s). In the '90s an 80-mile round trip to engineering school five days a week and later 100-mile round trip five days a week to work for three years. I've also driven semi-trucks and cars in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Orlando, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Washington and a (probably) most major cities in the US, except the NW & N. I've been in Thailand full-time since '00, and have driven over 600.000km here, mostly driving from Prachinburi to Bangkok, but at least twice a week in Bangkok proper. You?

Per the OP: "...laws and regulations that will limit your personal movement to no more than a 15 minute drive from your place of residence..." Is this not the same as a fence?
