  1. In shadow most of the time, it might be possible to grow mushrooms.
  2. For the tourist thing, a cruise on Halong Bay, and the water puppet show in Hanoi. Brilliant. Danang is good for beaches and fish restaurants. Dalat in the mountains has a pleasant climate. Don't be surprised if the locals want to practice their English with you.
  3. It's amusing when people drink low fat or skim milk in the belief it is more healthy, because they are consuming milk enriched in lactose. Lactose in humans gets converted to galactose and glucose. People older than 70 are prone to Type 2 diabetes, which can lead to nasty things such as amputations. World-wide, 22% of said age group are currently diabetic.
  4. Da Roadrunner should buy two, because one or the other will always need to be garaged for repairs. I understand J&N Auto in Chiang Mai have several for sale.

    No thanks, I might get it while having dinner. Bratwurst sausages.

    I do hope you are not confusing what is on your shoulders with what is between your legs.
  7. Sugar is the problem. Sugar is the building block of carbohydrates, which are effectively polymers of sugar. Complex carbohydrates hydrolyse in the stomach acid back to sugar. About a year ago, I decided to lose weight. I went from 93 kg to 78 kg, which I am maintaining. All I did was ban sugar, processed foods, and high carb grains from the menu. Low carb vegetables such as cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli and beans. Lower sugar fruits such as blueberries, strawberries and apples. No alcohol, beer is loaded with carbohydrate. I eat lashings of cheese, which is 35-40% fat. Put simply, I was training my body to burn fat instead of sugar. Sugar is the villain in obesity, fat is not.
  8. Milk contains protein, fat and sugar ( lactose ). All of which are essential for any mammalian species in the early stages of life to grow fast, because when humans are born, they are helpless. True, human milk is better due to specific antibodies. However, cow's milk is an adequate substitute. Putting it bluntly, you don't know what you are talking about.
  9. Perhaps you'll understand there's a difference between helping people and sniping at them - some day. The OP was asking for help, tell me how you contributed positively to the thread.
  10. Look for cars which have had Westerners as previous owners, as they are usually more scrupulous in terms of regular servicing. Some Asians think maintenance is optional, and skimp on it to save money. Be aware winding back odometers is very common in Thailand. Toyotasure is the used car outlet for their trade-ins, presumably some other brands have similar outlets.
  11. From the tenor of your post, I'd say you haven't got there yet.
  12. If a person is dumb enough to: 1/ Carry items of value around with them, 2/ Do it at 4 am, 3/ In an place well known for solicitation. Said person IMO is asking to be robbed.
  13. IMO it does matter which nations are increasing their populations if said nations are ruled by religious maniacs. They are the enemy of science in any form, except perhaps destruction technology.. Worldwide, scientists average a mere 0.5% of the population. We don't need the percentage diluted any further. It also explains why they get drowned out on social media by morons who did not make it past primary school.
  14. FYI, solar panels were installed on my Australian house about 25 years ago. I was one of the first there to put my money where my mouth is, as it made financial sense with the feed-in tariff I was getting at the time. IIRC, a $200/month electricity bill became 3 or 4 dollars. How financially stupid would it be for me to shell out 1 million baht ( including subsidy ) for an EV in Thailand, when my elderly Vios worth about 80,000 baht will probably outlive me? 900,000 baht buys a hell of a lot of the fossil fuel you are decrying. You want to ban fossil fuels? Be my guest. The food you eat, the furniture you sit on, the plastics that make the circuit boards which enable you to post your nonsense - all come from fossil fuels. The mirror in which you admire yourself certainly did not come from renewable energy, ask any glassmaker. Implying I am ignorant is yet another example of your debating dishonesty.
  15. Hydrogen is stored as metal hydride complexes which are actually more efficient than liquid hydrogen in terms of the volume required. There is no more danger from such a container on a car than there is with CNG and LPG, the same applies to delivery tankers and refuelling stations. Nobody gets their knickers in a twist about CNG stored at 3000 psi in CNG vehicles. Science will solve the problems associated with climate change, pollution etc. IF the politicians and lawyers get out of the way. Most secular nations are actually in population decline, it's the religion-dominated nations that are continuing to breed up.

    Fair enough, I was indulging in some hyperbole. I have only had sex with one Thai woman without a condom, my past, present and hopefully future GF. I am average Australian size. I agree Thai women are incredibly seductive.
  17. You fail to answer my question. Asserting hydrogen is a highly polluting fuel does not make it so, it's called begging the question. Trying to label me as anti-EV is dishonest argument as well. Hydrogen is not a fossil fuel when generated by renewable energy, any more than your EV is non-polluting when the electricity recharging it comes from the Mae Moh power station. Let's say with the wave of a magic wand you could replace every ICE vehicle in Australia with an EV overnight. Your contribution to the reduction of CO2 emissions would be a piddling 7%. It's increasingly obvious from your posts you are part of the EV religion, it was ever thus when science and religion collide. The former is fact-based, the latter is belief. I doubt I can make you understand either.
  18. Your post is ambiguous, do you mean diesel as a personal transport fuel, or hydrogen? If the latter, I would like your explanation why tailpipe water is a pollutant. In terms of fuel economy, diesel is actually more efficient than gasoline. It's the blimpish behemoths that have higher fuel consumption which perpetuate the misconception. It's very noticeable when one goes to Malaysia none of the trucks, buses or cars blow any smoke. If the same regulations applied in Thailand, my guess is 50% of vehicles would be put off the road.
  19. Looks quite masculine to me. I would like to see a Thai beauty contest with a maximum height of 5'2", and body weight of 50 kg. I reckon we'd all see some very feminine women then.
  20. Japan sells used vehicles to benighted countries such as Myanmar and New Zealand. Due to Japan's environmental laws, it is uneconomic to keep a car there more than two years. The vehicles usually have less than 40,000 kilometres on the odometer. I am not against EV's per se. However, like everything else, they have their pros and cons. Not sure if this is on topic. However, I did find it interesting, if a bit alarming.

    Good point.
  22. I suspect this guy is much better informed than you are when it comes to the Nissan Leaf. What really sucks in Australia is the auto lobby group obstructing importation of used vehicles, in the guise of protecting the Australian new car industry.

    Choose your preferred alternative carefully, stimulants distort the data. I would have thought six women would require more time, unless you are of the "wham bam thank you mam" persuasion

    ASEAN is going downhill fast. First it was guys saying their girlfriends are all self-supporting, now it's people claiming they need outsized condoms. What's next? Posters that reckon they can satisfy a woman six times in one night, or can satisfy six women in the same time?
