I am not anti-EV. I acknowledge their advantages. In fact, I was one of the first people in Australia to have rooftop solar on my house, and it paid off handsomely. My ICE will probably outlast me. It makes no sense for me to buy an EV, except perhaps as a status symbol. I have never wanted to impress friends, neighbors and relatives with possessions. I tread my own path. Having said that, I am anti the spurious virtue signalling that goes on with EV owners who are recharging their pride and joy from fossil-fuelled power stations. Unless they are recharging from a renewable source, their virtue signalling is egregious stupidity. I am also anti EV owners who refuse to admit the technology has unresolved problems, and seek to ridicule those who point them out. It's as if EV has become a religion, AFAIK most religions reject dissent. Religions also rely heavily on belief, and are well known for discarding fact if it does not fit the narrative. BTW, do you know who originated the term "butterfly effect"?

I get some sleep during the day, reading posts of yours. At night, I focus on pleasant fantasies. It does not matter if I don't sleep then, although I mostly do. No, I do not have bedbugs.

Mine are easy. However, I refuse to list them, as they may take that as validation. Annoying trolls.

Perhaps CF won't be so welcoming after their first EV fire, given their inside parking layout it could get very interesting.

Don't park your EV inside at Central Festival or Big C in Chiang Rai either.

There are lies, damn lies, and statistics. How many ICE's catch fire on the move, or in a collision, as compared to when they are parked? How many parked ICE's create a fire that engulfs other vehicles, as an EV fire demonstrably can? You should look at the figures more closely before making such a facile conclusion.

Do you park them side by side as well?

When I bought a new Honda Civic in 1974, it weighed 680 kg. In 2023, over 1400 kg. That's an ICE, the engines weigh about 120 kg. EV battery weights start at about 450 kg, and can be up to 900 kg for the cars with maximum range. Any road engineer will tell you the heavier a vehicle is, the more damage it causes to the road surface. Perhaps the government should taxing EV's more for that reason. Still feel like laughing?

Religions have believers. Climate science is all about facts and trends. It's convenient for deniers to label people such as me as religionists. Also convenient to introduce totally irrelevant facts, such as what was happening 8000 years ago. Or say it's a money grab conspiracy. There's the natural cycle argument, plant food, volcanic activity, sunspots. Anything to avoid the bleeding obvious, anthropomorphic carbon dioxide emissions triggering the laws of thermodynamics. It continues to amaze me how people on social media think they know better than 95% of the world's scientists, when the reality is deniers are as dumb as a can of soup.

Pelosi is admiring the way Jack Smith has constructed the case against Trump for all to see, even using words out of Trump's mouth. AFAIK she has not called Trump any names, while Trump rails daily against the people bringing him to judgment. Given Trump was inciting his supporters to harm her and others on January 6, and her husband was assaulted by a Trump supporter, IMO she is remarkably restrained.

Never been banned. If I want to get drunk ( extremely rare ) I'll do it at home, out of harm's way.

I think I am, because everything I have has a function. If it doesn't, it gets sold, given away, or thrown out.

Food is comfort. If the OP shagged his wife the way he used to, IMO she would stop eating. Meantime, buy some flour.

Pot, kettle, black.

In a race between principles and self-interest, the latter wins in a canter.

I suggest you tell that to Africans who are going to be starving shortly, due to the war in Ukraine. Most of the money-grabbing is by China and India. They purchase Russian oil at a big discount, refine it, then sell the various fuel types on the world market at a premium. Money for jam. No-one has ever paid me anything for my support of the science behind climate change. Doomsday is another exaggerated response of denialists.

Have you thought of changing the sheets regularly? You are either claiming you never fart in bed, or it doesn't smell.

Was that before or after Scott Joplin?

One of the standard excuses from climate deniers, along with plant food and volcanic activity. Anthropomorphic carbon dioxide emissions are a fact, sticking one's head in the sand or shooting the messenger won't change it.

I don't feel any need to get out of whatever zone I am in, I have been here for 12 years. I am certainly not deranged enough to travel alone on Thai roads on a bicycle. That's asking for trouble.

Rock bands are erudite and cerebral? News to me.

AFAIK it is climate deniers that do all the cherry picking.

It is irrelevant to compare 8000 years ago, when there were next to zero anthropomorphic emissions, with today, when there are about 8 billion humans generating them.

The literacy of your post tells me all I need to know.

I have no experience of the Philippines. I have never felt threatened or in danger in Thailand. i guess it depends what circles one moves in.
