I'll bet, like the other video, you did not watch more than a single minute or two of the video. The video evidence of the ferocity of an EV battery fire with several vehicles is on display. The chemistry which is the foundation of such intense conflagrations is explained in quite clear terms a layman can understand. ICE's do not generate fires that cannot be extinguished. They also don't generate hydrogen cyanide and hydrogen fluoride from a fuel tank fire. EV's do. EV fires have their own fuel AND oxygen, hence the only viable strategy for firefighters is to let them burn themselves out. That doesn't work too well in an enclosed environment such as a ship, or underground car park. Goethe once said against stupidity the gods themselves strive in vain. It's a statement which proves itself on a daily basis on ASEAN.

This video explains why EV's are a high fire risk. And why ICE's with a higher frequency of car fires are a much lower risk proposition in terms of potential damage. I am wondering when insurance companies are going to realize this risk, and inflate premiums for EV's accordingly. Some of the footage shown in the video makes me wonder how safe EV owners are in their houses, when they are using home chargers. I suggest you watch right through with an open mind.

Yes.

At least you'd be going out with a bang, not a whimper.

Check your charger cable is also a data transfer cable. If so, just select the files on the laptop, copy and paste to the music area of your smartphone. They can also be transferred by WiFi using Bluetooth. My son is smart enough to do that, I am not.

As a first year law student, you should know it takes time to assemble a case for the prosecution. Jack Smith was not appointed special prosecutor until 2022. Your 3 years is incorrect. <removed>

I stopped wearing watches as soon as I had a mobile phone small enough to fit in my pocket. Landlines have gone the way of bustles and buggy whips for most individuals. You may be right, watches don't get calls from scammers. Having said that, a smartphone is a far more versatile and functional device than a watch. I have about 600 books and 1000 music files on my mobile. Calculator, calendar, voice recorder, internet-capable, translator - enough said.

I smile at people I know, or see daily. I don't see a good reason to do it with random strangers.

I am not reliving my youth, nor would I want to. If you gave me the knowledge and experience I have now, and said I could retain it while getting my youth back, that would be a very different story.

It brings back memories of watching them live. They did sight gags and asides not in that video. The "unperforated" aside was just one of them. In the video, Flanders says gin affects his finesse. On stage, the word was prowess.

I like women with no lighting at all, apart from what is provided by nature. A warm woman is mandatory, I prefer trim. There is such a thing as too soft, and too much.

You got 50% on the references. The other is Flanders and Swann,

You are so time-poor you need to do that?

Find a species that eats them.

A few hundred years from now, I'm wondering what they will say about Trumpers. Probably the same as they are saying now about Jim Jones.

Each to his own, I find Oz too stifling. When it gets to the stage of having to travel at 40 km/hr past a parked police car, under penalty of a fine, it's over-regulation. I can ride a scooter and park anywhere I want in Thailand, I'd be committing suicide if I got on a scooter in Oz. One thing my GF did notice in Oz was the complete absence of police checkpoints, compared with Thailand. She kept asking where all the people and houses were, when we drove from Cobar to Broken Hill. I agree Australia has become multi-cultural, and it is evident society is richer for it.

The "first year law student" reference is known as argument ad verecundiam, an appeal to prestige. It's one of the dishonest forms of argument listed by R H Thouless in his book, " Straight and Crooked Thinking". OTOH, Trump uses argument ad hominem ( attack on the person ) as his favorite form of debate. What surprises me is how many people are still persuaded by it.

You obviously spent most of that year asleep. I'd back Jack Smith's knowledge and experience of the law against yours. I'm reminded of the aphorism a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

There are still knuckle-draggers who want to have him as President even if he is in prison.

Do the planning on a laptop or desktop computer, a phone screen is too small.

The present system is wrong, the ball that was substituted was so different from the ball it replaced it was almost farcical. The rules also state the substitute ball should be at the same level of wear. Clearly, it wasn't. The Australian batsmen had a batting pitch turn into a bowler's paradise, with swing and a yard or two of extra pace off the pitch. Assessment of ball wear should not be left to the subjective assessment of umpires. As with the machinery of reviewing a dismissal with a third umpire, there needs to be instruments that grade balls for wear and hardness accurately. Stokes is deflecting, he probably knows better than anyone that ball change did not pass the pub test.

The people at the top want to keep the lid on a simmering pot. Thais don't understand how different life is in other countries when they are insulated inside Thailand. The whole education system is geared towards that end. Every time a Thai goes overseas, especially when accompanied by a foreigner, there is the potential for the person to come back to Thailand, questioning the status quo. The xenophobia at the top arises from the fear of consequences, if enough Thais realize how they are being dudded.

Australian Immigration believes every Thai woman coming to Australia is a prostitute. There is a little evidence to support the hypothesis; however, the majority of innocents get tarred with the same brush. I took my GF to Australia on holiday some years ago, never again. The angst in dealing with the system simply is not worth it for me.

Quite right. My first thought was having that amount of money would make one a target for every grifter and kidnapper on the planet, so identity protection would be my first priority. I once saw Tiger Woods at a golf tournament in Australia. His bodyguards walking around the course with him were four very big black guys, all with expressions that said don't mess with me.

This thread, with its strict attention to light quality, is beginning to remind me of a male version of Hyacinth Bucket's candlelit suppers. Are you entertaining the other gender, prior to showing them your stamp collection, GG? All unperforated, of course.
