Yellowtail

Oh, I thought you were the topic,

Oh, I've known all along, it the guys that claim hanging around a pump waiting for the car to charge is some kind of benefit that amuse me.

Not a vegemite, but that Tong Garden peanut butter is pretty dang good, decent value as well. You do know it processed, yes? ????

So, I was right, locking the car and getting pump-food is something you can do with an ICEV, we agree. But with the ICEV I also have the option of never getting out of the car and being back on the road in five minutes rather than hanging around the pump eating crap food and whatnot. That said, I think EVs are great for people that are not diving long distances often and that that have some place at home to charge them. For people that cannot charge at home and or drive long distances, not so great.

Climate change or old man hands?

Basement of Novotel Bangna, f'n gash-a-thon. Plenty of nice girls to play with and enough working girls to take something back to the room at the end of the night.

I traveled with a carnival for twelve years. Never got tired of corndogs, popcorn, apples or townie-girls. The "industry standard" corndog at that time was a Farmer John dog and Gold Metal batter fried in Crisco shortening, French's mustard.

A sex addict is anyone having more and or better sex than me.

As a business?

On a fresh hoagie roll? I do like a good brat, but not really much heathier or less processed than a decent dog.

I moved to Thailand full time in 1999. At that time, I think the percentage of mom-and-pop shops was much greater. It was my experience that many of the shops sold out-of-date products, turned the air conditioning and refrigeration off at night, were open irregular days/hours and were quite often dirty. All that seemed to change with the proliferation of 7-11. Given a choice, people started choosing 7-11 over the mom-and-pop shops, not because of price, but because of the quality, variety and consistency of the products, as well as the cleanliness of the staff and facilities. It was the same with all the pumps and Jet. Once people were given a choice between PTT, Shell, Caltex and all the other crappy old pumps and a nice Jet pump with big, clean bathrooms, good parking, Amazon coffee shops and great "Jiffy" stores, people voted with their feet. Most all the pumps started improving and finally PTT bought/merged/whatever with Jet. The consumer benefited greatly in both cases. Everyone had to step up their game. You claim there are 11,983 7-11s in Thailand as if that's something bad. Would it be better if there were fewer? In any event, over half are owned by franchisees. I don't hear much about people getting sick from the food at 7-11, and I doubt very much the people think they are buying heath food. It's iensinexpve, filling and tasty which is what people buying it want. I went through one of the plants that made some of the heat & eat stuff about ten years ago and it was pretty impressive by any standard.

My dad wrote his memoire about the last ten years he lived. It was nice having it. What a different world they lived in.

It's the same in the US with Meta, Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Disney, Walmart et al. Fund the right party and do what you want.

King Crab legs cost US$60-100 a kg, and half of that is shell. What does one expect to get for a dollar?

I lived in Silicon Valley (Vally?) fifty-one years, and I say it is true!!!

Any examples you'd like to provide? I think the greatest wealth inequality in the world is in New York City and Silicon Valley.

Good catch, I should have read and responded more carefully. I believe that the high cost of medical care in the US is primarily due to government intervention, not insurance companies. I also believe that the medical care provided in the US as good or better to than in any other county in the world, and I have never seen anything at all convincing that shows it's not. In my opinion, given the number of variables, using life expectancy alone to gage the quality of medical care is ridiculous.

Ever visit the "Up to You Pub"?

Is it your position that there are not a lot of know it all's here? Okay strike that. Again, how do you get to: "So diabetes is a thin people disease?" from: "Diabetes is not just for fat or obese people." You feel. that's pretty strong evidence. I do not disagree, but I imagine diabetics that do all the right things get tired of people claiming it's their fault. You say "diabetes", yet type 1 and 2 are very different. Diabetes is not rare, and many people are born with it.

For his girlfriend

So, locking it and getting pump-food is something you can't do with an ICEV? There are a lot of really great things about EVs, being stuck close to a charger for half an hour is not one of them, whether you're hungry or not. Why not focus on the things that are great about EVs rather than pretending the relatively short range, and long "fuel" times are never inconvenient?

I think it's closer to the opposite, but you're welcome to prove otherwise, perhaps with the same old life expectancy ruse you love.

I said it was all good, didn't I? You're right, that was faux news, I just checked CNN and immigration is at an all-time low, my bad.

Maybe a right-winger...

I sorry you never got to feel the real part that lasts a lifetime. I fell in love any number of times and sex any number of times before I ever heard of Thailand. You crack me up.
