Kamala Harris Poised to Succeed Where Hilary Clinton Failed?
LosLobo replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Yet, Trump did not participate in the democratic process by failing to debate the other candidates in the GOP Primaries. Your False Equivilancancy (sic) is a logical false equivalency in itself. Here are the logical fallacies in your word salad: False Equivalence: The statement commits a false equivalence fallacy by comparing two situations that are not directly comparable. Hillary Clinton's and Kamala Harris's paths to their respective positions are different, and thus, directly equating them without considering the specific contexts and processes involved is misleading. Hasty Generalization: The statement may also be seen as a hasty generalization by making a broad claim about Harris's position based on incomplete or speculative information. It assumes without sufficient evidence that Harris has been "gifted" the position without a primary process. Appeal to Tradition: Implicitly, the statement might rely on an appeal to tradition by suggesting that the primary process (as seen with Clinton) is the only legitimate way to earn a nomination. This ignores the political nuances and strategies that might lead to different approaches in different election cycles. Note: The decision of whether to hold primary elections for presidential candidates is a strategic and procedural choice made by political parties, and it is not inherently undemocratic. Political parties may choose different methods for nominating candidates based on their specific goals, circumstances, and strategic considerations. -
Good advice! The problem with Trump's campaign is that he is not offering any tangible benefits to the lower- and middle-class for their support, only personal attacks and rhetorical hate speech. Whereas he is openly selling real benefits to the rich for campaign financial support. The one time the GOP spoke about 'kitchen-table issues', how did that turn out?

I curious, do you ever fact check your posts? Or are you just a troll who makes things up, like your messiah?

What about this Samsung Washing Machine? Should one buy it?
LosLobo replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in General Topics
I have had three Samsung front loaders first one ten years latest one four months, second one two years old and still in my home country. The latest ones can be voice controlled by my Google Home. I find the front loaders very good on clothes compared to the wear, tear and tangles of top loaders. The top speed of 1400 rpm makes drying very quick and stops the bad smells sometimes I used to find on slow drying very wet clothes in the high humidity. -
Trump's frivolous defamation case with ABC Stephanopoulos for repeating a fact previously stated by a Judge in the Carroll case, was in play before the Biden debate, yet it is problematic now, hmm. 'Any time, any place' Trump is running scared to mommy Murdoch's Fox News, as he knows Kamala will make him accountable for his actions just like 80-year-old Carroll did for the first time in his life If he failed with his 80-year-old rape victim, how will he go with a younger savvy ex-prosecutor? Taking the fifth 400 times or refusing to take the stand in a televised debate, will not go down well with the voting electorate.

Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump, was arrested during a KKK-related riot in 1927, though the charges against him were later dropped. Fred Trump is reported to have downplayed his German heritage, promoting a narrative that the family was of Swedish descent, to appeal to the Jewish community during a time of anti-German sentiment post-WWII. Donald Trump continued this narrative by downplaying his German heritage by claiming it was also Swedish. Now that's real racism.

Stupid hybrid newbie questions (new Toyota Yaris Cross)
LosLobo replied to JTXR's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Firstly, the Yaris Cross HEV is not a non-ICE EV. You have posted over 400 posts advocating for non-ICE EVs and also have had many unwanted incursions into other topics pushing your seemingly relentless agenda. Your endless posting here on the Motor Forum seems to be existential for your current life. Seems an odd pastime for someone who has never found a car existential to modern life. Nevertheless, there are several benefits to consider with the Thai Yaris Cross HEV: Fuel Efficiency: With a rated fuel economy of 26.3 km/l, the Yaris Cross is highly efficient, making it cost-effective for daily commutes and long drives. This efficiency translates to fewer stops at the pump and more savings over time. Hybrid Technology: While it may not run solely on the battery, the hybrid system significantly reduces fuel consumption and emissions. The electric motor assists the petrol engine, providing a smoother and more responsive driving experience, especially in city traffic. It’s worth noting that most non plug-in hybrids have limited EV mode ranges, so the Yaris Cross is in line with industry standards. Environmental Impact: The hybrid system helps lower your carbon footprint. By using less fuel and emitting fewer pollutants, you’re contributing to a cleaner environment. Range: The impressive 900 km range on a full tank is a major advantage for long-distance travel. You can cover substantial distances without worrying about frequent refueling stops. Reliability and Maintenance: Toyota is known for its reliability and low maintenance costs. The Yaris Cross benefits from Toyota’s extensive experience in hybrid technology, ensuring a dependable vehicle with fewer mechanical issues. Resale Value: Toyota vehicles generally hold their value well. The Yaris Cross, with its hybrid technology and fuel efficiency, is likely to have a strong resale value, making it a good investment in the long run. Comfort and Features: The Yaris Cross offers a comfortable ride with modern features and technology, enhancing your driving experience. The E-CVT transmission provides smooth acceleration and a quiet cabin environment. While it may not be a high-performance vehicle, the Yaris Cross excels in practicality, efficiency, and environmental friendliness. These benefits make it a worthwhile consideration for many drivers. Personally, I would have preferred the standard ICE version, but it is not available in Thailand. -

'The motors are powered by a compact 178V lithium ion battery that has enough energy to carry the Yars Cross in EV mode for a mile or so (although it tends to cut in for shortish periods only on light throttle openings to increase overall fuel efficiency).'

Renewal Of 5 Year Driver's License
LosLobo replied to patsfangr's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
My experience at Ranong DLT. I was out of the country for an extended period and my licence had already expired four years ago. I thought I would be able to just get a new one like I did 16 years ago by just getting my existing western licence transferred over but besides the visual tests etc I had to do the written and practical driving test as well, like I had done some 60 years ago at home. The peripheral vision one was a new one for me. I previously had problems last time with the depth of field test mainly because the test was following an eye operation where unbeknown to me Specsavers had failed to correct my longtime astigmatism, and my vision was blurred. This time I found the test easy it was just a matter of matching the light/shadow pattern from the first pin onto the second pin. I aced the 50 multiple choice road rule questionnaire in 1/4 of the allotted time mainly because of studying examples on website thai-exam.com The practical test was a different matter as I am used to driving with the rear camera and parking sensors but passed second time. The process from getting a resident certificate which depended on getting a letter from the DLT requesting visa information by post from Immigration to actually getting the 5year licence took me a month and it was only 2 days before my 3-month limit on driving on an International Permit/Home Licence expired. All in all, it was a rewarding experience and I learnt a lot that I didn't know before about Thai driving rules. -

Stupid hybrid newbie questions (new Toyota Yaris Cross)
LosLobo replied to JTXR's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I am quite disappointed with the lengthy wait to receive my Yaris Cross English manual; it's been over a month, and the transition from a conventional ICE car to a hybrid has a significant learning curve. I was unaware of many precautions, but the European version of the Yaris Cross manual proved to be very helpful, as did the videos from The Car Care Nut that I found online https://youtu.be/SKoPqb0SZEM For driving my Yaris Cross, I primarily use the default normal mode, mainly on highways, and about 20% of the time at speeds of 60km/h or less on village roads. My average fuel efficiency is 28.2 km/l, but on a recent day when I pushed the car, I managed only 20.1 km/l over a short 23km drive. I believe I could achieve 30km/l or even exceed 3.5 litres/100km if I switched to eco mode and concentrated on minimizing fuel costs, although fuel is a minor part of the overall expenses of car ownership. -
I watch the series some weeks ago. I found it very enjoyable.

When you have no facts you knowingly make things up. Do you know what that is called?

I agree everyone should just face the facts. If Harris was the 'border Czar' please provide factual evidence that that was the case.

The car is manufactured in Indonesia and then assembled in Thailand. 1) EV mode is designed for short distances and low speeds. Typically, you can drive in EV mode for about 1-2 kilometers (0.6-1.2 miles) at speeds up to around 25 mph (40 km/h) before the petrol engine kicks in. This mode is ideal for situations where you need to minimize noise and emissions, such as driving in heavy traffic or moving the car in and out of a garage. 2) Yes and Eco mode in your 2024 Yaris Cross is designed to optimize fuel efficiency by adjusting throttle response and other settings. It can be beneficial for both city and highway driving. Here’s how it works in each scenario: City Driving: Eco mode helps reduce fuel consumption by smoothing out acceleration and minimizing aggressive throttle inputs, which is particularly useful in stop-and-go traffic. Highway Driving: On the highway, Eco mode can help maintain a steady speed with less fuel consumption, especially during long, consistent drives. -

Perhaps you could share an up-to-date poll showing your magical 4.7 points? Otherwise, you omission will only add more proof to your continued state of confusion.
