The problem with weed & violence is invariably weed’s effect on those predisposed to mental illness. It can trigger a psychotic episode which leads to violence. This would explain his reaction.

I think Islam is an evil religion, I think all other religions are nonsense. Whilst I don’t condone Hamas’s charter (actually, I condemn it), I think you have to balance cause and effect. It’s clear how this whole problem was created, and only those who created it can fix it.

HELLO! that’s what this thread is about.

I took my German electric car through a 450 mm flood with no adverse effects

As I said before, IF Israel handled the Gaza Strip according to international law, this wouldn’t have happened. The Gaza Strip is recognised by the ICJ as a sovereign country, yet… Israel maintains direct external control over Gaza and indirect control over life within Gaza: Israel controls Gaza's air and maritime space and six of Gaza's seven land crossings. Israel reserves the right to enter Gaza at will with its military and maintains a no-go buffer zone within the Gaza territory. Which is illegal, the rest of your post is, whataboutism, and two wrongs, making a right, which they don’t I noticed you didn’t comment on Israel, breaking or crime law by blockade in Gaza Strip, please do so

I am surprised, I thought the performance version would be the most popular.. And just think, with the performance version you could get to Big C & Lotus a few seconds earlier!

Sorry, I just saw your post, I elaborated a post or two above this responding to someone else

Actually you entirely missed my point. IF the Israeli government abided by international law regarding the Gaza Strip, the reason for Israeli people wanting to leave Israel right now wouldn’t exist. Incidentally, blockading the Gaza Strip and preventing food and water is a war crime according to the United Nations.

They wouldn’t have this problem if they obeyed international law.

Thanks again, but actually we are flying to Da Nang, and I’m sure we will find an ATM in the airport

Thanks, we fly out there tomorrow

Golly! Gosh!

Somebody told me one month, but that’s not validated

AAS gave me all the paperwork to register my car in Chiang Rai (mostly proof duty had been paid). I got the car in June and went to the DLT mid February the following year. That extra year helped with the 2nd hand value when I sold it after 2 years and I got no speeding/traffic light fines.

Not only saves a lot of energy, but when you get used to high regen, it’s much more relaxing way to drive. I can watch the video by the way

I don’t use the cruise control because it slows down on bends, what I do is use the speed limiter mode and set it what I want to, say 90, and keep my pedal almost to the metal and it stays at that speed if I need to slow down, just lift up & let regen slow it down and again to speed up just pedal almost to the metal again and it stops when hits 90

My daughter prefers minimum regen too. We change each other's settings every time we drive each other's cars.

I rejected a Toyota Camry here 17 years ago when the main dealer painted the door after my then partner crashed it and it was a different colour, I told them to do it again and blow into the front wing and back door, and they did. I warned the paint shop who repaired by daughter's MG EP+ that if it wasn't perfect we wouldn't accept it, and I checked it thoroughly, it was a perfect job. She parked it at her boyfriends hall of residence and a glass blew off a high balcony and chipped 5 panels. The important thing is not to sign for it if it's not right then the insurance company doesn't pay them. I can't speak for the Seal but on an MG, the advantage of maximum regen is that you use the brakes a lot less, and instead of turning forward motion into heat with the brakes you turn it into electricity and it goes back in the battery. You can typically use the brakes for the last few km/hour to bring the vehicle to a complete stop.

The test I use at a car wash is I look at the guys doing the washing, any rings, watches, necklaces, jewelry, buttons, belts and I move on.

I had my Benz Ceramic coated. They advertise it as 9H or 10H and claim it's super hard, in reality it doesn't protect from stone chips or scratches at all (though they dubiously claim it helps). It did remain hydrophobic for about 2 years, and it is the best shine you can get on your new car. I haven't bothered with the MG, just get the detailer to wax it every 6 months.

You can get PPF in 4 flavours Clear Shiny Clear Matt Clear Shiny self-healing Clear Matt self-healing I had my Taycan (Dolomite silver) wrapped in Clear Shiny self-healing. It cost 65,000 baht. It got no swirls in 2 years because it fully self-heals, in the demo they scuff it up with wire brush and put it in the sun for 5 minutes and all the scratches have gone. There are 2 ways to install. Patterns computer controlled cut off the roll to fit each panel. Actually, they are about 2mm short for each panel. The issue with those is the edges collect the dirt, but because they aren't wrapped around 180 degrees on the panel edges, they don't come loose. The 2nd way is without patterns and the install overlaps each panel my about 10-12mm and wraps it underneath out of sight. It's a much neater installation but it is prone to peeling underneath. This what I had (manufacturer Rhino I think). My experience is installation is an iterative process. They do the whole car, then a couple of days after you have picked it up, they have to repair or re-wrap some panels and in my case it took maybe 4-5 attempts. I am not sure I would do it again. The car was like showroom new after 2 years. but the process is a PITA, and you probably need to redo it every 5 years. I could be tempted to do the matt PPF but probably not self-healing (half the price) and replace it when it swirls, although I would be worried the glue damages the paint, the longer the warp is on the bigger the risk.

They don't need to be compensated, because they made a risky decision to open when the health minister said not to sell recreational cannabis. Fast Facts In 2022, 30.7% of 12th graders reported using marijuana in the past year, and 6.3% reported using marijuana daily in the past 30 days.1 Compared to teens who do not use marijuana, teens who use marijuana may be less likely to graduate from high school or college.2,3 Research shows that marijuana use during teen years can harm the brain.4,5 How Does Marijuana Use Affect Teen Health? The teen brain is actively developing and continues to develop until around age 25. Marijuana use is associated with increased risk for the following issues4: Harm to brain health. Marijuana use beginning in teen years or younger may affect brain development which may impair thinking, memory, and learning. Mental health issues. Marijuana use has been linked to depression and social anxiety in adults.4 People that use marijuana are more likely to develop temporary psychosis (hallucinations, not knowing what is real, and paranoia) and long-lasting mental disorders, including schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a type of mental illness where people might see or hear things that aren’t there. The association between marijuana and schizophrenia is stronger in people who start using marijuana frequently at an early age.10 Impaired driving. Driving while impaired by marijuana is dangerous and illegal. Marijuana affects reaction time, coordination, and concentration—skills required for safe driving.11 Increased potential for marijuana use disorder. People who begin using marijuana before the age of 18 are at increased risk of developing marijuana use disorder.12 Marijuana and Youth: The Impact of Marijuana Use on Teen Health and Wellbeing | Featured Topics | Marijuana and Public Health (cdc.gov) I am sure you know better than the CDC, pfft

For myself, as long as all statements are factually correct, I have no problem. Just don't say it's safe, non-addictive and doesn't trigger mental illness.

Yorkshireman here too (Guiseley), for those that don't about Yorkshiremen, we are like Scotsmen with the generosity wrung out of them.

No it's not. You are wrong. It was never intended for a rich profitable Thai company to send money abroad, reducing their profit and tax in Thailand (possibly to zero) and then return it to the business owner's personal account the following year (supported by a personal invoice from the previous year for consultancy) with no tax payable at any time by anyone corporate or individual in any company. This is the loophole they want to close and it's costing Thailand enormously. My accountant has been warning me for over a decade that this loophole will be closed.
