You may be right. However, Putin cannot avoid mobilizing Russians in the major cities, which he has studiously ignored so far, preferring to focus on minority groups. Putin fears the political backlash from complete mobilisation, even now he refuses to designate the conflict as a war. Each mobilisation he conducts results in the best and brightest Russians fleeing the country. They don't want to be cannon fodder for incompetent generals. IMO Russia is either going to be a failed state, riven by ethnic conflicts, or a Chinese vassal.

I have never heard of an acid coolant, if anything they tend to be alkaline. The excess rust you see is nothing compared to what is lining the passageways of the engine and radiator, and affects heat transfer. Metals conduct heat, rust doesn't. To say nothing of what it is doing to the water pump. Coolants also perform the function of elevating boiling point as well as depressing freezing point. Coolants raise the boiling point of the fluid to above 130 C, a useful property in the Thai climate. I wish you good luck with your engine, you are going to need it.

Oh, like Chamberlain achieved peace with Hitler?

I don't intend to, the Ukrainians do. The Ukrainians are well equipped, well trained, have high morale and have competent leadership. The Russians have none of the above, their only strategy is to attack civilian infrastructure. I expect the Ukrainians to continue attacking Russian logistics, which so far they have done quite brilliantly. Logistics win wars. Putin is hiding the real numbers of Russian casualties, that information can't be suppressed forever. When it does get out, the Russians themselves may well do the work for the Ukrainians.

The Ukrainians know Putin wants to exterminate them. They will never negotiate until the last Russian has left the country. Please explain how one makes a deal with someone bent on genocide, with a long record of reneging on every agreement.

Putin is betting a busted flush against a full house of very motivated Ukrainians.

I very much doubt a T55 will have any effectiveness on a battlefield against an M1 Abrams, Challenger or Leopard tank. The technological gulf is too huge. IIRC, the Iraqis had a lot of T55 and T72 tanks, the Abrams slaughtered them. Any hits on an Abrams just bounced off. Unless the Russians have found a way to equip the T55's with armor-piercing discarding sabot ammunition and precision guidance, it will be the same story.

PM Sheryl, she will have recommendations.

The ethylene glycol usually in the coolant package would probably attack the plastic components in the radiator, hence the warning. Engines are a lot more expensive than radiators. The logic of buying a cheap part in place of a radiator designed to be compatible with the engine escapes me. Coolants have corrosion inhibitors in their formulation. By operating the system with only water, and a mixture of alloy and steel, you are inviting rust in.

IMO the percentage of women who check the oil, water and tire pressures of a vehicle would be close to zero.

It's easy and cheap enough to run a compression test on an engine, then have the cylinder head off to check the coolant passages for corrosion. If it passes both of those inspections, it should be good to go. Forgot - if the OP replaces the engine, he should also replace the radiator. The one he has is very probably cactus.

I can see cracks in the photos posted by the op. IMO it would be a waste of time and money to recondition it.

The amount of rust present on the cylinders, and in coolant passages, indicates IMO someone has been skimping on maintenance, not using coolant additive. Rust impedes heat transfer. Coolant elevates the boiling point of the water in the system. As another poster has said, engine from a crashed vehicle. Next time around, use the vehicle manufacturer's recommended coolant. Or expect a repeat stuffed engine.

What was there in the jury instructions which might be grounds for appeal? I would hate trying to represent Trump, he can't keep his mouth shut when he would be well advised to do so.

He also said during the video deposition "stars" have been getting away with sexual assault " fortunately or unfortunately". It was probably true; however, the three women on the jury probably took that as an admission of sexual predation.

Trump is the one who is stupid. If he had simply said " No, I did not rape her" and left it at that, IMO he would have been OK. It was the defamation that sunk him. Plus doubling down in his deposition, and Truth Social posts. At the end of the day, it was a question of who the jury believed, E Jean Carroll, or Trump. I am reminded of the aphorism "It is better to stay silent, and be taken for a fool, than to open one's mouth, and remove all doubt".

I can see the point of taxing someone with a high superannuation balance. As many commentators have said, super was meant to fund retirement, not for generational transfer. I can't see the point of taxing people on $26,000 per year. As I have said before, the gain is too small for the potential backlash. No doubt a Liberal government would, their whole philosophy revolves around war on anyone receiving benefits, and fattening the rich even further. Check out how many Liberal MP's are negative gearing properties. With this budget, IMO Chalmers has destroyed the Liberal claim to be more responsible economic managers. I'm predicting Dutton's response will fly with voters like a lead Zeppelin.

The Federal Budget has been handed down. There is no mention of taxing expat pensioners ( or any expat for that matter ) at 32.5%, or implementation of any 183 day rule. Unless such changes are buried in very fine detail, you may have to find another drum to beat. https://thenewdaily.com.au/finance/news-federal-budget/2023/05/09/federal-budget-2023-winners-losers/?utm_campaign=News Alert - 20230509_Budget Night&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Adestra&lr_hash=6532358006ffdf91b6b45ab0f13d0b1c

A properly done implant means extraction, 1-2 months of healing, screw and bone graft if necessary, another couple of months before final capping of the post. Any thing faster runs the risk of failure at 40-50%. As described, less than 5%. I have had three implants, no general anesthetic. Pain is only for 1-2 days at each stage.. Said implants have been in my mouth for about 8 years, still going strong.

Is your depression caused by insufficient sleep? Does your mind go around as if it is on a treadmill when trying to sleep? Do you drink alcohol? It's a depressant which may also increase anxiety. I was prescribed antidepressants for many years. I have not taken any for about 10 years. I learned there are alternatives to antidepressants, such as drowsy anti-histamines, plus a positive mindset. Every medication we take has side-effects. Some place heavy burdens on the kidneys and liver. I am astounded paracetamol remains an over-the-counter drug. In combination with alcohol, it can cause serious liver damage. https://www.google.com/search?channel=fs&client=ubuntu&q=Alcohol+depressant https://www.google.com/search?channel=fs&client=ubuntu&q=paracetamol+and+alcohol+liver+damage

Some vehicle manufacturers have cars which are dedicated LPG, without a petrol tank in sight. AFAIK they start on LPG without petrol assistance. They should, the flash point of LPG is lower. On the vehicles I had converted, there was a bailout which enabled starting on LPG if the petrol tank was empty. IIRC, cylinder head temperatures are 300 C for petrol, 400 C for LPG. CNG is even higher at 600 C. I'm not sure what overhead cams have to do with valve seats, except for being connected via the valves.

As a previous poster has said, 15-20% increased fuel consumption. I can't speak for the cost of LPG conversion in Thailand, in Australia IIRC I recouped conversion cost in about 3 years. It depends on yearly kilometres of travel. LPG makes for higher cylinder head temperatures, and has no lubricant properties as petrol and diesel do. I used to run the system on the basis of one quarter of a tank to every tank of LPG. Complete conversion to LPG would be risky, unless the engine valve seats are specially hardened. Better to stay with a dual fuel system.

Unless the line is printed in Thai script, it will be spelled any which way. "You are beautiful, I want to see you naked please". No, not you.

Agreed.

If you are talking about bar girls, I agree. Less likely to find English speakers in massage shops, 7/11's and restaurants. If your pickup line was Khun suay, dongan hen khun long jawn krap, I'm not surprised they would reject you.
