According to Carl Turner, Thailand has just announced a personal income tax holiday on crypto gains, running for full calendar years 2025 to 2029 inclusive, trades must be made on licensed Thai platforms like BitKub. This could be great news for expats, but full details are still pending. If you're trading crypto or planning to, it’s worth waiting for more details. https://carlturnerfinancial.us21.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1a9328816f0433771ec5541e5&id=2756f8b914&e=8e91aa8b2a

I have the Seal AWD and love it. for me, there would be no comparison in that list, I would go straight for the Sealion 7 AWD. Test drive them all and you’ll soon know which one.

Let’s not forget who is the aggressor here. And before you justify it, every aggressor always claims some tenuous justification. I can’t imagine Trump was made very welcome at the G7, he’s probably thankful to have an excuse to leave.

We had one, it’s a fine car.

I prefer to live in Thailand but holiday in Vietnam. On the subject of beaches, they may not be famous, but the beaches in Vietnam are significantly better than the beaches in Thailand.

any and all lizard like creatures are dispatched to lizard heaven. If I don't get them, my cat does.

It's fly spray, it doesn't kill them, but it would eventually kill the very small ones. I break their necks and that's what kills them.

They usually hide behind the curtains, I spray with him Baygon, it stuns them, then I catch them when they fall and then ultimately throw them out the window.

The big question is whether or not she was wearing a white coat, if she possesses a white coat then clearly she’s qualified.

AI is going to cause massive poverty. Bill Gates says people will have more time for leisure and be happier. I think a huge proportion of people are going to be unemployed and it's wishful thinking to think those that benefit will feed any of their increased wealth to the unemployed. One of my Neighbours is CTO for an international software house, he's downsized his team from 120 to 30 developers. They are losing clients because their clients now do it with AI. I don't see AI creating Universal Basic Income, human nature is greed.

Here are some photos, car is filthy

I have had one speeding ticket and one traffic light infringement, turning right from lane 3 not lane 4 My daughters have had a few speeding tickets, they come to me and I pay them.

I'm worried I went all dementia on you

What you say is true, but I see LIDAR as being like seat belts. I do think that ultimately legislation will mandate LIDAR. Elon does make some stupid decisions. The Cybertruck cannot be sold in the EU or UK because of it's sharp angles and the front is not pedestrian friendly. Incidentally, on the original subject of class action lawsuits, there is one in the UK, people ordered their cars with FSD and 5 years later it still hadn't been delivered. Most people in the UK keep their cars only 3 years.

I wouldn't have gone for 35% profile had I known the car had 45% profile originally. However, I'm happy that it works and it does look cooler. My speedo will over read by 4.8%, acceleration should be improved and top speed lowered. I'm happy with my choice. I'll post a side on picture next time I take the car out the garage.

My flabber is well and truly gasted. I was sure I checked and rechecked and they were 235/35/R19. I'm wondering about my sanity now.

Does any Seal Performance owner here have 235/35 tyres? Or am I the only one, which is very strange. That Reifen website is very useful, thanks for that @Pib I paid ฿36,100 for 4 tyres and they gave be the normally priced ฿450 per tyre insurance policy free.

We have only heard one side of the story. It’s quite possible he owned the tour company up to 49%, was a director and had no day to day work in the business. That would be perfectly legal under an Elite Visa. If the company wasn’t certified to do tours that’s another issue.

My stock tyres were 235/35 R19 and not 235/45 R19 so I didn’t change the aspect ratio. I just changed the width by two centimeters, but my aftermarket wheels were already one or two centimeters wider than the standard wheels. The car feels totally different, it feels much more responsive to steering input. @PibIt is a little noisier than before, there’s a kind of whoosh from the tyres, it might be because they’re new, I haven’t been over about 70 km/h yet, I’m still running them in. Here’s a photo from behind, it’s clear there’s a lot more contract with the ground.

I agree with you. People die every day but we are outraged when a piece of software kills people, for example, MCAS from Boeing. Tesla’s FSD maybe orders of magnitude better than humans, but it will only take one fatality that could’ve been saved by LIDAR to change everything

Other manufacturers and Waymo don’t only use LIDAR, they use cameras too. Cameras don’t cope well with rain and fog, nighttime is also a problem, but they do read road signs. A camera only approach can never match a camera and LIDAR approach. I do understand edge computing and AI, my entire career was in IT. Waymo for example also has AI on board built into the car. Your knowledge it not being there is flawed. In my opinion, Tesla have gone down a blind alley removing LIDAR. It will only take one fatal accident that could’ve been avoided using LIDAR to make LIDAR a mandatory requirement for Level 5 automation certification. At the time Tesla were using it the cost was around $2,100 per car, it’s now a fraction of that.

New tyres fitted today. 2cm wider than stock tyres.

What you said is irrelevant when it comes to safety. Nobody says vision is superior to LIDAR. It's a fact LIDAR is superior and therefore safer. Elon is wrong. Safety is everything.

Robotaxis are years behind Waymo., let's see what happens when it comes to certification across the world. I predict Tesla will revert back to LIDAR

Tesla went down a blind alley with vision based automation. LIDAR is the only technology that works effectively. I suspect governments will mandate LIDAR before certifying self-driving technology. I remember reading Elon had a spat with the owner of the LIDAR technology and made his vision based approach on emotion. Emotion will be his downfall.
