  1. Here's me thinking Americans were brainwashed by him.
  2. Is there any analysis of how many of the serious condition patients were vaccinated vs unvaccinated?
  3. IIRC stress corrosion cracking of stainless requires a temperature of 60 C to take place. Pinholes are another matter, either related to poor quality SS or, as another poster has suggested, corrosion at a weld boundary.
  4. Utmost respect for a true gentleman, who helped me several times. Gone too soon, but not forgotten. It is a rare event when a thread is unanimous in its posts. RIP a legend.
  5. It depends on what kind of metal the tank is, which the OP does not specify. Very unlikely with stainless, quite probable with a galvanized tank as the sacrificial protection of the zinc fails. An old trick to prolong galvanized tank life is throwing a couple of chunks of concrete into the tank, thereby raising the Langelier index, and promoting scaling.
  6. Quote from Kia: No special break-in period is needed. By following a few simple precautions for the first 1,000 km (600 miles) you may add to the performance, economy and life of your vehicle. Do not race the engine. While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute) between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm https://www.google.com/search?channel=fs&client=ubuntu&q=kia+running+in+engine+recommendation The manual specifies the first service is at 15,000 km. IIRC, I asked for a link first, which has not appeared.
  7. Doesn't matter, as long as I am comfortable. My GF doesn't seem to mind.
  8. I agree, it helps a lot to be able to talk in Thai. And listen.
  9. Horsepower may be fairly useless unless the vehicle has AWD or traction control. Back in the day, I used to enjoy myself taking my Honda Civic with 1.2 litres of engine up Arthurs' Seat, with cars having three times the engine size trying to catch me. They never did. You're right, there's always something faster on the roads - in a straight line.
  10. Mark the hole, then drain the tank to below that level. A bit of two-pack epoxy or silicone sealant is probably all that is needed.
  11. In high humidity, when we sweat there is very little cooling effect. OTOH, sweating in low humidities creates a cooling effect as the sweat evaporates from the skin. 35 C in 100% RH can be intolerable, whereas 40 C at 10% humidity can be reasonably comfortable. Hence dehumidifiers are useful.
  12. I set the aircon at 27 C. Stay in the room almost naked.
  13. Your opinions are 1/10.
  14. She is in Thailand, and probably talking in terms of Thai baht.
  15. For once, we are in full agreement.
  16. Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe? I'd agree professional fighters seem to attract a certain type of woman like flies to honey. All that testosterone shrieking at the estrogen.
  17. His ad lib with the electric razor was pure comic genius.
  18. Women are attracted by power, intelligence, money, and looks. IMO money wins in a canter. Intelligence probably comes in fourth.
  19. Yes she is, and you think I don't know the photo you posted is from ThaiFriendly or OnlyFans?
  20. Visit an ophthalmologist, you need a new prescription.
  21. Send me your bank details please, I want to buy your book.
  22. I'll have to tell my 56 yo GF that, 41 kg of cute and shapely. Nothing wrong with the Thai diet, it's the Western junk food that turns the ones who can afford it into fat slugs.
  23. IMO Tudge and Robert should be in jail for what they did during Robodebt.
