AliExpress do have the microphones, not cheap at about 2,500 each.

Maybe you can order it from AliExpress, perhaps in the future it will be annoying OAP’s singing karaoke in their cars with the windows down cruising around town instead of teenagers with their booming speakers?

It’s the same with their prices, they give “Prices after savings” ie what you would save if you did the estimated speed and their estimated car by having an EV over an ICE. This is what happens when you have a leader without checks and balances.

I though interviewing the housewife was hilarious.

Luddite 😉

My brother in law mentioned the BYD Seal in the UK has ADS (Alcohol Detection System). I wonder what it is and if we get it here?

I can read my posts for you, but I can’t understand them for you. I suggest you practice your English comprehension.

it’s very common to charge over 15% oa but it is illegal.

I suspect credit cards may be subject to different regulations, I don’t know as I don’t have one.

I’m calling BS. Those two statements are not the same, not even remotely the same. My comment said it was wrong for Israel to use bombing and massacring innocent civilians as a lever to get their citizens back. It couldn’t be farther from your fanciful interpretation. Are you incapable of reading and comprehending English?

I never said Israel has no justification to ask for its hostages back, read my posts and tell me where I said that? If you can’t I will accept your apology.

You are spouting rubbish. I absolutely condemn what Hamas has done, I have made it very clear here. My position is targeting the innocent civilians is wrong and looks more like revenge than a plan balanced with proper objectives and calculated acceptable collateral damage. Nothing I have said condones Hamas, nothing I have said condones Israel’s response. What’s shameful is you trying to imply I somehow support what Hamas has done in Israel. It’s clear I don’t. It’s also clear that nothing I say is going to change your view that thousands of innocent Palestinians being massacred is AOK, and nothing you can say will make me believe this massacre is justified. I am going to leave it at that.

That is a very valid point, we could say the same about Putin and Russia

It’s like saying if Germany buys gas from Russia they will stop bombing Ukraine. What a terrorist organisation is doing cannot be combatted by massacring thousands of innocents. Hamas giving up their hostages is outside the ability of the innocent people being massacred. It’s wrong for Israel to use this as a lever.

Nonsense. I accept your solution would work, but it is outside of the control of the innocent civilian people. And saying A will stop killing C if B does something, is not right.

And I am sure lots of Palestinians would support that too.

Again you are conjoining a terrorist organization with a people. There are thousands of Palestinians who do not support Hamas. Unfortunately, they are dying.

It isn’t.

Under international law, you are wrong.

You are still talking as if Gaza=Hamas It doesn’t. We faced exactly the same thing in Northern Ireland. The IRA is not the Irish. They hid amongst the population and continued their terrorist attacks. Are you saying we should have gone in and massacred thousands of innocent Irish in order to rid ourselves of them? Please answer this what is the difference between these 2 conflicts? I suggest nothing. The solution cannot be to attack innocent parties in order to achieve your aim. That is a war crime.

You could use exactly the same argument with the IRA and Irish and blame the Irish people, the same way, sorry but that does not wash with me.

Law enforcement generally has a rule regarding collateral damage, the rule is zero. In a conflict like this one, I think it’s difficult to argue you are targeting the terrorists when you kill orders of magnitude larger of innocent civilians. I can’t give a number but killing more innocent civilians than terrorists rings alarm bells with me.

Apart from your first line, I agree 100%. Remove the strike through and I don’t.

it is wrong to conjoin a terrorist organisation (Hamas) with innocent Palestinian people. Suppose Hamas had disappeared and were hiding in Pattaya, would that make it ok to attack Pattaya and kill 5,000 innocent Thais & Farangs in the hope of killing Hamas? There is no difference, what Hamas has done would not give justification to kill Pattaya residents. I am talking about Israel and innocent Gazan citizens, what does that have to with Hamas & Israel being at odds? Who has the right to bring innocent 3rd parties into the conflict and massacre them in their thousands? Let’s consider scale, suppose Israel dropped a nuke on Gaza, all Hamas would be killed, plus a couple of million innocent civilians. The point I am trying to make is scale is irrelevant, it’s either ok or it isn’t. Doing a little bit doesn’t make it ok.

The difference is intent and scale.
