Buying a 2nd hand car and converting to LPG
Lacessit replied to JustAnotherFarang's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
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. -
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.

I grew up in a 99% Jewish neighborhood! Did you?
Lacessit replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
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". -
They went back with the tail between their legs
Lacessit replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
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.

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.
-
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.

Lead-acid batteries are used in vehicles. On average, they weigh 17 kg. The typical dry cell battery is composed of a zinc anode and a carbon cathode with a paste of ammonium chloride as the electrolyte. No acid present. An alkaline battery may leak alkali. It would not happen overnight. Batteries are stored energy. A dry cell battery is normally rated at 400 - 900 milliampere hours. Lithium batteries range from 5 - 100 ampere hours, or even more. Lithium batteries are much more of a fire risk because they contain lots more stored energy, and provide their own oxygen supply in the event they do catch fire. A lithium battery fire burns at 2700 C, I have never heard of a D-cell doing that.

If you can't be bothered reading the regulations on prohibited imports, I would say you got off lightly.

12 years, not there yet.

I am more comfortable here too. I guess my analytical mindset can't help being bewildered by strange behaviours.

Trump unable to get $464m bond in New York fraud case, his lawyers say
Lacessit replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I suspect the inflated values which Trump assigned to his properties will look even more inflated when they are the subject of a fire sale, either by Trump or James. -
There are various strategies one can use to avoid the necessity for medication with gastric reflux. Every pill puts an extra burden on the kidneys and liver.

Nobody takes you seriously anymore, except the echo chambers that pass for trump supporters (AKA goobers ) on these threads.
