  1. Joining the EU with Canada actually makes economic sense. They could have a tariff-free zone, while Trump sends the USA into economic purgatory.
  2. The Vios Mk 2 was in production from 2007 to 2013. One can usually download an owner's manual from the internet. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1795236/Toyota-Vios.html The wiring to the seat belt buckle is most likely the seat belt warning. IMO fitting a seat belt without a tensioner defeats the purpose of a seat belt. Airbags present usually have an SRS label. If there is not one on the driver's side, it's unlikely they are anywhere else.
  3. I am damn sure Greenlanders don't want America's screwed-up health and taxation system, and they don't want the inevitable carpetbaggers coming in to pillage their resources. I am also reasonably sure they don't want a 78 yo grifter issuing a flurry of executive orders which tell them how to think.
  4. Not easy for me to trust something I can't see, hear or feel.
  5. You should avoid tea, shrimp and crab. Also grapes, raisins and potatoes. You don't swallow toothpaste, but you probably enjoyed a pad thai goong recently. Fruitcake. Oh sorry, I forgot they have raisins.
  6. IME any time you let the accountants and lawyers in, quality suffers.
  7. I can't recall ever having posted an accusation of that nature on anyone. Perhaps it has not occurred to you your nom-de-plume is a dead giveaway.
  8. What makes you think you are trusted now?
  9. I don't place much store on your predictions being the truth, or accurate. You seem to forget there are going to be all kinds of regulatory impediments to mixing self-driving cars with people who are driving their own vehicles. You think Tesla rules the world in terms of AI? DeepSeek has already destroyed that myth. Tesla stock is like DJT stock, there's a ridiculous amount of blue sky in it. How do you think Tesla shareholders are reacting to Chinese carmakers eating their lunch? Already they have taken over market share in Europe. I am posting facts. You are posting what you hope will happen.
  10. Doublethink is well entrenched in MAGAland. Somehow, they will convince themselves that tariffs are good for America, while looking at the price tags in Walmart.
  11. Would you mind flagging your own posts, please. I am finding it very difficult to determine which might be of human origin.
  12. Understood, it's a channel targeting right-wing knuckle-draggers. I get all my news free. IMO anyone who pays for a news service is a moron.
  13. Somebody please inform me whether the First Amendment has been removed from the US constitution.
  14. His mouth has energy. IMO 5 minutes on an exercise bike would kill him. I guess some people like listening to blatant lies, non-sequiturs, and ridiculous tangents. 2 minutes of him, I have a headache.
  15. What is Trump doing OK on? Putin is making him look like a fool. Putin will only settle Ukraine on his terms. https://www.theage.com.au/world/europe/document-prepared-for-kremlin-outlines-hardline-negotiating-stance-on-ukraine-20250313-p5lj79.html Thanks to his health czar, measles cases are rising in America. 97% preventable by MMR vaccination. The $1billion liquor trade with Canada is gone. Supermarkets there have taken American booze of their shelves. DOGE is indiscriminately firing experienced staff. Social Security and Medicare are in chaos. It's war on the poor. Automakers will be importing steel which is 25% more expensive. They are already losing to European and Asian carmakers that are cheaper, and better quality. You think you can sell gas-guzzling behemoths into Europe, where roads are narrower and gasoline/diesel is priced realistically? Good luck with that. You think American farmers will thank Trump for making imported agricultural equipment more expensive, and deporting the labor that helps them stay on their land? Every country is retaliating with tariffs of its own. What do you think that does to American competitiveness on price? The Wall Street Journal has called it the dumbest trade war in history. What is Trump doing OK on?
  16. As the leading peacenik on the topic of Ukraine, you may find the link interesting, if not what you want to hear: https://www.theage.com.au/world/europe/document-prepared-for-kremlin-outlines-hardline-negotiating-stance-on-ukraine-20250313-p5lj79.html
  17. Don't have one now. I don't play in competitions anymore. If i can make 5 or 6 pars in nine holes, it's a good day. Less than 4, it's not. I play off the reds, my best drive is only 180 yards. However, I don't remember the last time I missed a fairway. I have been playing golf for nearly 70 years.
  18. I think you'll find Airbus is beating Boeing in market share, partly due to the safety issues Boeing has had over the last few years. Being the largest market is a double-edged sword.
  19. Yes. I did work in a wine laboratory for a few months.
  20. After getting the first six questions correct, the quiz gave me a score of 6/10 without asking any further questions. Quiz for the OP - what chemical compound is used as the standard in measuring smoke taint in wine?
  21. I guess a Biden stock market reaching all time highs is bad economic news, and shares in free fall thanks to Trump tariffs is great news for the short sellers.
  22. I really don't know how you cope with the steering wheels of your cars being on the left hand side. It must be so traumatizing.
