Careful what you wish for, as the decision could go against you, as hopefully it would. Marrying who you want may be equality, as it should be, and I agree with that. But forcing others to participate, nah, can't agree to that, as has nothing to do with the safety and well being of the masses, just catering to a couple.

I agree, alphabet folks need to leave their beliefs out of the workplace and not force theirs on others. For the others ... How do you quit when you are self employed. As the famous lawsuits were self employed folks. Let alone all the people suing to get their jobs back, for not conforming to silliness, such as 'improper' pronoun use. How do you quit a job supporting your family, maybe a teaching job for instance, when you won't use incorrect English, you've been taught, or worse, teaching. Forced to use pronouns, for instance, that are confusing as all hell, to please a mentally disturbed person IMHO Because after you were hired, some nut job decided if you don't, it's hate speech, and creates a hostile work environment. Oh contraire, quite the opposite, as it was fine, until someone forced their ideas on others. Or any job, that requires you to accept something you don't believe in. Fine if self employed, but you get sued anyway. So you're suppose to stop providing for your family, to conform to the different of someone, something you don't believe in.

Once is too many. Would think those that did sue, also went and found someone to provide whatever the law suit was for. So now suing for what ... to make people conform ??? Lawsuit takes on a whole new meaning, as no damages, no loss of anything, just conformity. Yea ... live & let live, so start practicing what one preaches. I'll live & let live, and expect the same.

agree, live & let live 👍 How many times alphabet folks sued a business because they didn't want to cater their wedding, whether a baker or florist. Just find someone who will, instead of suing someone who thinks differently.

If only the 'alternative' lifestyle folks extended that say courtesy to those that believe differently, instead of trying to force them to conform to their beliefs. How is it even possible to sue someone, for not conforming to your beliefs or lifestyle. They are the ones to live & let live. Kudos for the judge to take the lead on that one 👍

No, and usually forget all about them, unless mentioned here or news. Besides hating celebrating war & death, being an Atheist, not big on Christian holidays either.

Those can be minimized, especially when it comes to food. Even when I left 25 yrs ago, there was plenty of local farmer's markets and chains were stocking local items also. Some chain markets themed as healthier organic locally grown 'off the farm' product, along with mass produced & imports. Manufacturing, not so much, and why the tariffs to begin with, to bring manufacturing back to the USA. BUT ... as stated earlier, most won't help that process with buying USA, and just complain. Som nam naa Why the USA continues to lag behind further & further than China & Japan.

At least you didn't blame it on Trump ...

You might stop buying imported goods, and invest in the USA, by 'buying USA', supporting USA companies in the USA, and US citizen workers. Some would say, myself including ... "you ARE the problem" Tariffs are an attempt to solve that problem, but because of like minded people, like you, it will fail miserable, as nobody, you, and other US citizens care enough about the US economy, to support a plan that will work, but happy to complain about it. Where were the complaints during Biden, and some of the highest inflation of any 4 yr administration, 20+%, if going by the COLAs on Soc Sec.

I think it's called defensive driving. Always allowing space between you and the vehicle in front of you. In case they make a sudden stop, you have plenty of room ... BUT ALSO ... in case the idiot behind you is on your tail, that extra space gives you room to go forward a bit, if you notice the idiot behind you may not have enough room to stop. Probably why many of use, haven't had as many oops as others, getting rear ended. Same with your example of slowing, if tailgating when approaching curves, as you can't always see around them. Aside from the silly tailgating, at least they have some common sense around curves, realizing it takes more paying attention to the curve, so leave space between the car in front of you. Again, defensive driving skills prevail ... with some of us We're not in any hurry, and we're lucky if we average 80 kph on long trips, from home to the day's destination, if not stops. That's doing 90 or 110+ when & where possible. If I average 80 kph, it was a fast trip, as sad as that is.

I guess it's all relative to personal choice, and identifying continental origin as you choose. Most are more country nationalistic. I'm an American (USA) and vacationed, holidayed in the Americas with mostly other Americans, both from USA, and non USA citizens, as simply too close and inexpensive to do so, without long flights across the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans. We are and were all 'Americans'. That other don't understand that, has always been a mystery to me.

Xiaomi / POCO phone fan also, and I don't even bother looking at the competition. Wife just picked up a new one, loves it, and mine (POCO X3 NFC) is still going strong, 5 years old. Very nice camera (Sony sensor), with good EIS, which really helps with vids.

These super moons, blood & blue moons are silly boring, and not much different than all the other months. Still raining here, so maybe not visible. Other places, the smog may be an issue, though might give it a nice tint, as the smog does during sunrise/set lots of times I can make my own Super Moon with my Super Flashlight ...

I think his was NMC ? chemistry also, since older, as DECO upgraded to LFP, about 2 yrs ago. Probably same batteries, mine is just larger, 50Ah vs 30Ah ?. Super Ace being 2000w motor vs SUSU's 3000w motor. My battery is built in, though probably user friendly to replace, if handy. Super Ace maybe removable. Newer 2000w models have 2 removable batteries for longer range. Since mines older, and if I lived long enough to kill the battery, (unlikely), then I'd probably just buy another newer model instead of replacing battery, though at that age, probably wouldn't bother, since near 71 now. Wife loves the DECO also, as also didn't bother with the Wave when we had it. Almost fully automatic (3 gear push button), nice torque & smooth ride. I really only drove the Wave to top up fuel & put air in the tires, the last few years owning. Just didn't enjoy riding it any more. Used a lot when living at Udon Thani, but rare the 3+ years while having a PKK. Wife thought me a bit goofy, buying the DECO after selling the Wave, and I questioned my sanity also, but really glad I did. Made riding MC fun again, though my back is not up to long drives any more, and just putter around town on it with the dog, weather permitting. Came in quite handy when the car was in the body shop for about 5 weeks. I actually went to the warehouse at Nakhon Pathom to test drive before buying, and took all of a cruise around the parking lot to realize I wanted it.

I have 7200 kms on mine in 4 yrs and battery @ 95%, and not LFP chemistry. If no savings by the time cost of new battery matched cost of petrol I'd be quite happy, as enjoy riding the DECO. My Wave sat in carport rarely used, so sold it. Use the DECO weekly.

Cajun Blackened Chicken ...

And yet, I've never replaced it (regularly) on any of my MCs, unless reservoir very low. Unless under warranty, I don't follow maintenance schedules. I remember they advertised oil by how long it lasted. Now they sell a bunch, every 5 o 10k kms. So clean, I can't even read the dipstick What a scam. Only done it in TH, till warranty expired.

Only had to add it once, and only because the gasket wasn't seated correctly, and had a small leak from the reservoir cover location. MC only has 7200 kms on it.

ELECTRIC ... 4 years owning, and regular maintenance involved putting air in tires

Sniffy wanted to sniff & mark some new turf. This area drier than the rest, as still raining hard overnight here. Raining now west of the house, as can't see the hills along Myanmar border, first 10 seconds of vid. If needing a coffee fix, while chillin' surfside ...

We got nice rolling hills (mountains in TH), < 10 kms from house, when tired of looking at the bays, 5 kms from house 😎 Need to stay healthy, as I don't even think there's a cardiologist in the amphur, as one pops down from Hua Hin a couple times a month Added plus ... no nightlife, and those it attracts Different strokes for different folks, but really, nothing about Patts or Jomtien is for us. We'll take just enough of everything, over way too much.
