Looks like the Toyota Yaris Cross is number 1 in B-SUV Crossovers.

A minor limitation I found with the YARIS ICE on some occasions was its lack of power, which is expected from an engine with only 1200 cc. In contrast, the Yaris Cross HEV features a 1500 CC engine which under acceleration is complemented by an initial hybrid boost from electric motors.

I rented a two-year-old Yaris Smart Sedan for three months before getting the Yaris Cross and found it surprisingly spacious enough for two adult westerners in the front and two Thai adults and a child in the back and a pile of shopping in the boot. I would have bought one except for the ground clearance. I received the Cross after 10 days on order and found it vastly more spacious and with a 210mm ground clearance more suitable for flood prone areas. Sadly, as I didn't want the sunroof or the low profile tyres, I bought the Premium which does not have the power tailgate, very disappointing as the tailgate is f*** heavy 😞 My experience with the Fortuna was that it had similar suspension to Hilux Ute. I find it is not difficult to get 30km/l in the Cross.

I recently purchased a Yaris Cross and would recommend either the Yaris or the Corolla as they meet all the criteria. Sometimes, it's hard to distinguish between the two. The Yaris can comfortably fit two adults and three children in the back, but for longer journeys, the Corolla offers more comfort, space and a larger trunk. However, the smaller size of the Yaris makes it more suitable for navigating Bangkok's narrow streets. Having driven a Fortuner before, it felt like driving a truck, I can't comment on the Corolla Cross. I suggest test driving all the models. I personally wouldn't purchase a used car in Thailand due to concerns about maintenance and flooding. A fully-optioned, top-of-the-line Yaris costs approximately 1 million, while the Corolla is around 1.4 million.

Perhaps before watching Watters, Hannity and Ingraham tune to one of her speeches, you might learn something.

My urologist of 7 years in Oz recommended it for me, but when I recently had the bladder flow test he suggested I would not gain enough from the procedure at the moment.

The UroLift procedure is a great option for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It can significantly improve symptoms and quality of life, potentially delaying the need for more invasive surgery for 5 to 10 years. It’s minimally invasive, involves a quick recovery time, and preserves sexual function, making it a good choice for many.

The exchange rate seems very poor compared to Bangkok Bank or Wise rates for GBP. What do you get with AUD?

You seem to have missed the multiple allegations of sexual assault including a case involving a minor and the fraud cases involving his charity, university, and dealings with banks. These aren't just 'stupid' mistakes but a pattern of criminal behaviour.

Though is hasn't for Donald.

My new licence has my old licence number and shows date when it was originally issued. What agent?

My initial plan was to transfer my home licence, but I was misinformed and was told it would be easier to renew my old license. By the time I realized the mistake, it was too late to change course. I was also told that my old licence would be discovered once they had my full name, but I seriously doubt that as the primary key seems to be the passport number and I now had a new one. Despite potentially wasting two days on tests, the experience was informative. I learned a lot and gained new insights, having previously assumed that my home road rules would be applicable here.

Unless as in my case, I showed my home licence but as I already had an expired 5-year licence, I had to do a written and a driving test.

Past weeks, Donald Trump has demonstrated his loathing of Kamala Harris by calling her "nasty," "phony," "a monster," "unlikable," and "the meanest, most horrible, and most disrespectful person". Yet, in this interview, he compared Kamala to his wife. What does that imply about Melania?

I've rarely seen a post with so many illogical fallacies in so few words. Your struggle with logical comprehension is evident with your: Straw Man Fallacy Explanation: This occurs when someone distorts an opponent’s argument to make it easier to attack. Example: You misrepresent @Enoon's argument about nuclear threats as a bluff by claiming he advocates for using nukes in Kursk. This distorts his original point. False Dilemma (Either/Or Fallacy) Explanation: This involves presenting two options as the only possibilities when there are actually other alternatives. Example: You suggest that the only way to prove seriousness about nuclear threats is by using nukes in Kursk, ignoring other potential strategies or actions. Red Herring Explanation: This is a diversionary tactic that shifts attention away from the main issue by introducing an irrelevant point. Example: By focusing on the hypothetical use of nukes in Kursk, you distract from the original discussion about the Ukrainian offensive and its implications. Appeal to Emotion Explanation: This fallacy seeks to manipulate emotional responses rather than providing a logical argument. Example: The suggestion of using nukes in Kursk is likely to provoke an emotional reaction, which distracts from a rational analysis of the situation. Identifying these fallacies reveals that your argument lacks a solid logical foundation, relying instead on misrepresentation and emotional manipulation.

I recently had to sit for all of the Thai licence tests like I had to do when a teenager at home 60 years ago. I already had a Thai licence for 12 years, but I let it expire during COVID. I found the written test a bit illogical and full of translation errors, but I persevered with all the sample questions repeatedly until I started getting high scores before the actual test and I aced the test in less that 20 minutes. I can recommend https://thaidriveexam.com/ and it has all you need to know. NB Mirror/Windscreen is the same word in Thai.

Evidently from his 'Hush Money' election interference case, Trump had alternate uses for those magazines, this latest cover of Kamala would surely be the ultimate humiliation hit.

Though I wasn't particularly talking about Trump, I tend to agree, it's been four years since the 2020 election, and he hasn't moved passed denialism as yet.

I would suggest that he is just in denial over the likelihood that Trump will lose. The Kübler-Ross model, also known as the Five Stages of Grief, was introduced by Swiss-American psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. This model describes five common stages that people go through when dealing with grief and loss: Denial: This initial stage involves disbelief and shock. People may struggle to accept the reality of the loss. Anger: As the denial fades, anger can set in. This anger might be directed at oneself, others, or the situation. Bargaining: In this stage, individuals may try to negotiate or make deals to reverse or lessen the loss. Depression: Deep sadness and despair are common as the reality of the loss becomes more apparent. Acceptance: Finally, acceptance involves coming to terms with the loss and finding a way to move forward.
