  1. Counterintuitive as it may be, the correct treatment for a Scorpion sting is as hot water, as hot as you can stand it, the venom is denatured by heat.
  2. For a short while Mont Clair made a Sauvignon Blanc made from grape juice from Marlborough Bay New Zealand. It was very good indeed but pricey.
  3. I could have a faster EV for every different day of the week and still have some change.
  4. BYD is privately owned Toyota risks going the way of the dinosaur as they don't have a credible EV strategy, although buying their batteries from BYD for their new EV (as does Mercedes Benz) may stave that off. I'm sure there will be lots of companies cropping up to repair your BYD, although with an 8 year warranty, why would you want to? P.S. After founding & co-founding several software companies and exiting via trade sale on two and floating the other on the AIM in the UK I like to think I know a little bit about software too.
  5. I think you missed his point. My interpretation was that he said spend the same amount but by better quality wine and therefore drink less.
  6. The disadvantages are Cost & difficult to replace. Upgrading your inverter for any reason (ie going hybrid) is very difficult.
  7. The advice remains the same DO NOTHING. Nothing has changed, unless you want it to.
  8. I have only barfed once in the last 20 years or so, it was a couple of months back. I was out for dinner with a friend and we drank 2 bottles of red wine each. I woke up the next morning with my bin next to my bed where I had barfed. I congratulated myself that it all went in the bin and none on the floor. That I put my bin back in the corner of the room where it belonged and noticed I had barfed all over the wall. No hangover headache by the way, though I felt a bit queasy that day.
  9. If you stick to wine that’s about 700 baht a bottle up, it never gives me a hangover. I buy most of my wine from Ray at VinesToVino, I’ve never been there but he’s on Thepprasit Road in Pattaya. He has excellent knowledge. None of his wines have ever given me a hangover. I recommend using the Vivino app on your phone, scan the wine label in any shop, score 3.9 and above is usually pretty good. The bargain in that shop is Carant an Italian wine which scores 4.4. I have a dedicated room air conditioned 24/7 for my wine, it’s a serious obsession with me.
  10. moderate association between cannabis use and physical violence Association Between the Use of Cannabis and Physical Violence in Youths: A Meta-Analytical Investigation | American Journal of Psychiatry (psychiatryonline.org) Analyses of panel data on Norwegian youths reveals a statistically significant association between cannabis use and violence. Cannabis use and violence: Is there a link? - PubMed (nih.gov) In all, evidence-based research from meta-analyses have indeed shown that cannabis is associated to violence and therefore measures should be taken to mitigate the risk Violence and Cannabis Use: A Focused Review of a Forgotten Aspect in the Era of Liberalizing Cannabis - PMC (nih.gov) Violence seems to be more prevalent in young Cannabis users.
  11. My aged lady friend has it in Green, I think it's the only colour available in Thailand. It also has Alcantara seats which is a nice upgrade, but otherwise pretty much identical inside. It's very much a hot hatch with a very tight chassis and until the Cyberster is launched, the fastest car MG has ever made in its 100 year history.
  12. Mr.Toyota probably funds them
  13. The article the OP posted does nothing to promote the recreational use of Cannabis, it's entirely about medical use only. So it's pointless any recreational Cannabis user here thinking it helps their cause in any way whatsoever. Further, he mentioned case studies without providing any references, he mentioned Israel where recreational Cannabis use is NOT LEGAL.
  14. Sorry, could you repeat that in English? Assuming you're capable.
  15. I can't say if it's fake, it does sound a little hard to believe. I am suspicious when we don't know the provenance of the video. In terms of EV's having a much lower rate of combustion compared to ICE, lots of us have posted the stats and the links many. many times. Only last week again in my case where I posted statistics from 4 different geographies. 11 to 130 times is erring on the side of caution, some countries it's up to 199 times.
  16. There is an important difference between Alcohol & Cannabis. People drink Alcohol because they enjoy the process and the taste. People take Cannabis because they enjoy the effect, the high.
  17. I bought a Mini Cooper S Convertible for my office manager as a company car, he left shortly afterwards so I drove it for a couple of weeks. I couldn't get comfortable in it, the car gave me backache so had to sell it. It's the most uncomfortable car I have ever driven.
  18. Research any insurance company recommended, at least one of them is a Ponzi scheme with no underwriter.
  19. However, the Gelsenkirchen police later clarified that they do not encourage cannabis consumption and that the reports were a misinterpretation Unfortunately the article is behind a paywall, however it is here FACT CHECK: Are German police really advising football fans to smoke cannabis? (thelocal.de) You can sign up to read it for free.
  20. What studies? sources please. Recreational cannabis use is not legal in Israel.
  21. Individual cases can only be anecdotal. Proper studies involve double-blind trials and thousands of participants in the studies.
  22. The EC are not fit for purpose.
