I said goodbye to Windows after the abortion that was Vista. My needs from a system are simple - internet access, email, documents, spreadsheets. I don't need or want all the bells and whistles Windows purportedly has. I take comfort from the fact hackers will always have Windows as their priority target, and won't bother with Linux. I don't know about 70 year olds, this 80 yo is quite happy to stick with what he knows will work.

I prefer to think of myself as someone who doesn't suffer fools gladly. Goodbye.

Neither do you.

100% hydrocarbon is correct. You are splitting hairs between aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, when they are both hydrocarbons. That's what the term means, compounds with only carbon and hydrogen , no other elements such as oxygen or nitrogen present. Every fuel manufacturer claims their product is better, no surprise there.

BS. He went looking for trouble, and he found it.

Certified usually means the document is notarised by a notary public, the police, or a magistrate. It depends on the circumstances which official is deemed to be acceptable.

I got a nice certificate from my company congratulating me for working 10 years without a sick day. As they did not sweeten the pot at all, from then on I had a couple of sickies a year. A doctor's note was only necessary after two days off work in Australia. The bludgers only took one day off at a time. I inherited a guy who took Fridays and Mondays off for 50 weeks in succession. I said you are extracting the urine, it stops now. He transferred out of my section two weeks later.

When Kyle Rittenhouse acquired the weapon he used to kill people, presumably he was classed as a responsible gun owner. Google the term oxymoron if you would like to know what the phrase responsible gun owner really means.

The 500 baht fee applies to CNG cylinders, which store gas at up to 25,000 psi. I don't think it applies to LPG cylinders, which only require inspection at ten year intervals, as they store LPG at 2500 psi.

Not one. Perhaps you could ask yourself why, instead of questioning me. Sorry, I forgot. You're a Trump supporter, logic and self appraisal are not in whatever skill set you may acquired, from the limited education you got.

Air coolers will work with climates of dry heat, such as the Australian interior. 15% relative humidity, 40 C. The normal mode of operation is to leave every window in a house open an inch to create positive flow. Thailand is obviously not a place where they can function efficiently. There is a new mosquito killer on the market, called Zappify. It is claimed to kill 99% of mosquitoes in a 5 metre radius. I've just bought one. Apparently it is more effective than the conventional traps, which use broad spectrum UV. Instead, it's a UV laser of a specific wavelength mosquitoes find irresistible.

My father hated Jews. He said Hitler had the right idea about them. Possibly a Jew got the better of him in some deal. I went to school with a number of Jewish kids, it was actually a Presbyterian college. As far as I was concerned, they were like anyone else. The best Jewish joke I have heard...... A busload of tourists turn up at the Auschwitz museum just before closing time. The bus driver comes back to the passengers after a brief consultation with the curator. "Sorry people, it's closed. He says come back tomorrow". One of the passengers speaks up. "Tell him we're Jews".

Yes, a friend who got into a relationship with a bar madam. Apparently cost him heavily to extract himself from her clutches. He did not go home with his tail between his legs. He opened a bar in another city, I understand it is successful.

Train wrecks are interesting too.

Benzene is classed as an aromatic hydrocarbon. The other aromatics which may be present are toluene and xylene. Which may be the additives you refer to. Benzene is a known human carcinogen, causing acute leukemia.

Perhaps it was a slow day. I wasn't aware my threads had to meet with your approval. I could equally ask why you start BS topics.

I am aware of that model. It assumes there are only two variables present in the system. There are things called confounding variables. If, for example, manufacturing capacity for EV's is limited by the supply of another critical metal such as cobalt, the demand for lithium will fall by reason of that constraint. Or if two presidential candidates declare they are bringing EV manufacturing capability back to the USA, Chinese manufacturers would be cancelling forward orders, and running down their stocks. After all, the US is their biggest market. As I said, there is only enough lithium around for 30% replacement of EV's, unless it can be got out of seawater economically. IIRC, 55,000 litres of seawater is needed to produce 1 kg of lithium. The average EV needs 60 kg. Thank you for the economics lesson, albeit unnecessary.

Advice already taken, before I started the thread. Show me where in my posts I say I attempted to argue with him.

Er - that is total lithium demand. Plus demand for other metals, such as copper, nickel, and cobalt. Let's not forget rare earths for magnets, such as neodymium and praseodymium. Lithium is not only going into EV's, which require 60 - 80 kg. It's also 2-3 grams in every phone battery. There's Tesla Powerwalls, and a few tonnes in every large capacity storage bank being used to back up solar or wind power.

I'm predicting ICE's will be around for another 30-50 years. There simply are not enough raw materials around for EV's to completely replace them, 30% at best. That may change as new mines come on stream, which usually takes 5-7 years. Mines don't have an indefinite life, so new mines are not necessarily increasing supply.

95 V power is 100% hydrocarbon, the Gasohol 95 is only about 0.5 baht dearer than 91.

Does your post embody the assumption most people will be recharging from rooftop solar? What is the data of percent people doing that now?

I have never seen those, presumably the Chinese have stuck with them as the cheapest to source. It's a bit hard to estimate their ampere hour capacity, and hence fire risk. Even at the low end of concentration, 15% sulphuric acid would not be doing anything good.

Please explain how a shop 50 meters further down the street had an amply supply of AUD, then. Thanks for the advice. I'd follow it if I thought it was useful.
