Not necessarily. They're demolishing a building, & renovating ? The latter would take some skill, maybe No matter, for what ever reason, someone thought they were worth the extra, and probably were, or, as I suggested, family ?

Use hwy #9, and you bypass most of the construction. 9 & 35 conx, and you'll only see abut 1 km of construction. Was the highway ever closed, except when they had an oops ?

In that case, I'm guessing they were family of whoever owned the project. Silly price of laborers. I use to pay ex inlaws 500 baht a day, working on the house and 5X the normal rate back then year 2000. Even others got 150 instead of 100 baht a day, as I wanted them to show up, and do a good job. If not they got fired the 2nd day. Worth the extra baht, as the listened, and did as instructed, and none of the, "OK, he's gone, we'll do our way as we always did before". This way, it only gets done once

Musk is an idiot ? After that statement, you can't expect anyone to take you serious ...

Not really, as I live in my own world. Before retiring, didn't have time or should say, didn't bother with the world. Too much into my interests, making money, sex, drugs & RR, to bother. This is how tuned out I am. When Cheney's army rolled into Iraq, the day or 3 after, I was at the doc's, and she asked my opinion of it. She was amazed that I didn't have a clue that US force had invaded the day or 3 before. Since I was off work for about a week, I had no knowledge of it. Blew her mind If not at work, I was unplugged from the world. Too much down time at work, and break room at work had a TV, needing to be there, thus the 'force fed' comment earlier. And then, I was only at work, 2 days a week 😎 If not for AN, I wouldn't have a clue what is happening in the world outside of PKK. Most times, I really don't want to know or care.

I take it with a grain of salt, but surprised how accurate it is vs totally corrupt MSM. Can't really say I even read a lot of RT, and only if a headline interests me. I prefer to think for myself, not that I even care about USA, TH or world news & events. Just stay tuned in to things that actually may affect my life, which is very little on the news. Nothing I need to know from the crap they all push, and it's basically 'marketing' now. Every news-blip, op-ed is linked to product promotion related to what ever is being discussed. If not pushing a product, pushing an agenda to divide people to control them. Suggest y'all stopped watching, unplug for a month, if you can, then tune back in, with an open mind, you might see it completely different. Ignore it all, live life, enjoy living life, and be HAPPY. Some of y'all, really need to unplug and get a hobby, a partner, a life. Not directed at anyone, unless of course applicable. If that offends you ... nuff said

MSM just flat out lies. RT is usually spot on. I find people that criticize RT, obviously never read RT. I was always force feed MSM, at work or now on AN, and can't believe people actually believe most of it. Most of my life, I rarely watched the news, and didn't even own a TV until living in TV. If one in the house, I barely watched it. Only have one now as a monitor to laptop, and to watch torrents on. Torrents only because I'm retired and too much time on my hands after sunset. People haven't a clue what their govt reps voted for, but yet re-elect them, even though unhappy with the way thing are. But they can tell you everything about a celebrity or a TV program. It's called 'programming' for a reason

Labor ??? Pay per day or commission ? Tech, skilled, or unskilled construction ? About a no info news-blip.

A few of these, I never heard of. Can't believe people fell for Telegram, as simply a govt site, to spy on people that thought it was private. As are VPNs, to track ignorant people. Get news from RTnews, seems to be the least bias, though do ignore RU news. Glad X is free-ish speech now, as was totally censored before. Have but rare I ever look at it, unless linked elsewhere, and same with tik tok vids (entertainment). YouTube shorts, entertainment.

Vaseline

Yea, that's why I stay clear of MSM

Breakfast of Champions 😎

Depends how often. I stopped taking my multivitamin, and noticed a bit of fog. Started taking again, and no fog. Now take 1/2 of the multivitamin, and still no fog. Obviously my diet lacks something that's in the vitamin. Maybe try a low dose multivitamin. Suggest low dose, as mine has 100+% of some nutrients, and a bit of overkill, since my 'whole food' diet is fairly decent. BUT, missing something. Still haven't gotten my vitamin / mineral blood test (no available here), to see, what if anything I'm deficient or OD'ing on. All I take is the 1/2 Multi, Creatine (3-5g a day) & Magnesium (400mg)

Who reads the owner's manual ? Our MG ZS is IP67, and battery 'supposedly' rated to be submerged 1 meter in water for 30 mins ... and here I am driving around puddles in parking lots I think this is as deep as MG recommends, and no thanks. I'm not driving through water that touches th rim. Only the lower rubber part, if it hits metel ... nah.

Guessing this is the make. ... Talarai Model ? ... Sur-Ron ? I see the label on Talarai FB site, same label, but not 100%. How old is bike / battery. Battery may be poor clone, or one on FB a clone, and also possible. Is this the bike and did you get it from ... Talaria Thailand or Falcon ? Talaria email: *removed*

When you walk in ... govt hosp., Q's, waiting area ... Private hosp. Q's waiting area ...

Anyone thinking of heading South, along the Gulf, beyond Chumphon, may want to rethink that, as Hwy #41 is flooded at a few spots. Heading to west coast via Hwy #4 doesn't seem to be an issue.

Even at 270k, I think it's over priced. Not LFP, and unless budget restricted, better options. Although, great knock around town car, vs new entry level 'made in TH' JP badged ICEV at 600k. Think I'd take the Neta V for 300k over any new JP badge ICEV. Just the spare 300k would buy a solar system for a house & to charge car ... paying for itself in no time. If only having 300k, petrol savings would eventually pay for itself over life of the Neta. All pluses no matter 👍 Maybe conversation should be on 'EV vs ICEV' thread, though it's been done 10's of times. PEACE OUT

Only fresh / wet markets would exist, if that, in rural areas, and payment by barter system, as money wouldn't be available for many. No refrigeration, limited transport, as no electric pumping at petrol stations. Chain supermarkets would close ... after being ransacked. By the time they could get enough diesel generators to areas, mayhem would have already taken over, and those with firearms would control the turf / zones. Zombie movies (fear living dead) would be realities ... New prepper thinking ... need a sailboat, with solar, and fishing gear ... we're out of here Oh yea, w/bow mounted 50 cal, and a few M72 LAWs 😎

= ฿299k in the real world, and very few of those, and more like 300k+, on FB One linked, 1+ yr old w/47k+ kms, someone drives a lot.. Our ZS is 2 yr 2 months and only 36k kms.

Speedy recover & RETIREMENT to both

Agree with the consensus, more power is good. Even the MG ZS EV, far from a performance car (@ 8+ secs to 100 kph), passes safer & quickly, with the instant hp & torque. And I drive in 'ECO' mode ZS EV vs ICEV, 8+ secs vs 12+ secs makes a huge difference when passing. Again, more the instant hp & torque. None of that hp @ XXXX rpm BS. As noted, on smaller roads, it frees up congestion of tailgaters, which forces drivers to pass 2 or 3 vehicles at time, creating a hazard. Actually makes taking smaller roads, faster if running parallel to main roads, and frees up congesting on the main roads. Also makes for a more scenic and pleasurable drive.

Please show us where these 1 or 2 yr old cars are going for 200k, as I peeked on FB marketplace, and thought most were silly priced high. Not one, no matter age was 200k.
