Don't try applying that rule with a taipan or mamba.

Which particular Republican think tank did this pearl of wisdom come from?

Look on the bright side. I am sure there are quite a few posters who could afford to lose some weight. That excludes posters who store their fat in their skulls, of course.

I am wondering if the fuel source was LPG or CNG. There is a big difference in the storage pressures involved, 2500 psi vs 25,000 psi. LPG tank testing is every ten years. With CNG, it is supposed to be every year.

I lack the narcissism required. I'll settle for my Thai GF. unlike Melania she doesn't look like she is sucking lemons whenever she is in public. I think it's safe to say I have got laid more often. I use my phone to tell the time, watches are for insecure exhibitionists. Have you placed your order yet?

Elite Smile at Pantip Plaza did three for me, which are still going strong after ten years. They have state of the art equipment, and use the best materials. IIRC it cost me 55,000 baht back then per implant, including a bone graft. Unfortunately they have moved from Pantip, I don't know where they are in CM now.

She was. Can you say the same of your mother?

CCS is the equivalent of a perpetual motion machine. 100% efficiency. The maximum efficiency of an electric motor is 80-95%. For an ICE, it is 25-30%. Mission impossible. IMO Aramco's promotion of CCS is the same as the Saudi financing of LIV golf, an attempt to buy respectability.

I don't have 91 criminal indictments against me. I'm not a felon. My worst offense is a speeding ticket.

You seem to be quite tolerant of a guy who claimed immigrants were poisoning the blood of America, and they were also eating cats and dogs. Seems your brand of tolerance is different to mine.

He made it to be Governor of Minnesota, perhaps you'd like to inform us of your own successes.

I don't have any problem with people being right wing dudes. The problem I have is they are supporting an utterly disgusting human being, which makes them either as thick as two planks, or completely venal. Before you assume the mantle of righteousness, may I point out the Olympic gold medal for spewing insults on a daily basis is Trump himself. I am quite confident if I took the time to search through your posts I would find examples of insults, so I suggest you put off donning a halo for a while yet.

I am stunned there are still people who think Trump is in any way suitable to be President again. The parade of senior White House officials who say otherwise stretches around a city block. You don't see any of them saying the same of Harris. I can remember an American friend of mine telling me Trump is dangerous, prior to the 2016 election. How right he was. Impeached twice, indicted 91 times. A felon awaiting sentencing. IMO anyone supporting Trump is in serious need of a brain transplant.

Does that not raise the question of why Trump himself cannot effectively defend his record? IMO Vance lost all credibility when he evaded the question of whether he thought the 2020 election was stolen.

He has no assets in Australia, and gets the OAP.

Yeah, it's a crying shame wild-assed conspiracy theories from dark web links can't be posted by any wingnut. We are being deprived of the opportunity to observe how abjectly stupid some people are.

Nobody seems to be asking the question what happens if an EV gets flooded. Perhaps our EV owners can comment on the potential for electrocution.

Carbon capture and storage is an exercise in thermodynamic implausibility. AFAIK there is not a single CCS facility which is operating to its design parameters. Even one of the CCS's most vocal proponents, Professor Tim Flannery, has admitted the technology does not work. CCS is a scientific hoax, like Piltdown Man and cold fusion. The fact billions have been spent on it does not make it any less of a con by the fossil fuel industry.

I have been living in Thailand for over ten years. One of my Australian friends has lived here for the same time. Neither of us has been taxed on our OAP in that time.

My GF cuts my hair for me. It's not complicated as I am 90% bald. She also trims my toenails.

The cost is actually 150 baht, I tip 50 baht because I am not a Cheap Charlie obsessing over a few baht.

Hail? In Thailand?

I could understand if they were looting for food or cash. Something of value. Looting Trump shlock reminds me of Einstein's aphorism about the universe, and human stupidity.

Thailand is good value for money. Examples: House in Australia 20 million Baht. Equivalent house here 5 million baht. Rent here 10 K baht/MONTH. Equivalent rent in Australia 10K baht/WEEK. Car registration in Australia 16K baht. Here, less than 2K baht. One hour massage here, 200 baht. In Australia, 1500 baht minimum. Not just value. I don't know of too many other places in the world, where I can enjoy a GF who is 23 years younger than me. Anyone who has a brain can negotiate Immigration requirements quite easily. Perhaps the OP's brain cells don't stretch that far.

We have had thunderstorms and heavy rain in Chiang Rai all morning. It's quiet now.
