Roasting Cashews ... and someone waiting for them to cool off

Way too many BEVs in TH, especially locally / PKK, and MG ZSs. Getting near 10 owned locally, I think, and considering the size & economics of the area, impressive amount, not counting the other brands I've noticed; BYDs, Ora kitty cats, even a couple Teslas. Not leaving out the Hybrids. Another silver ZS like ours at Makro, which I tried to enter ... having a 'What the, why isn't that button working', along with "Where the F is my dog ?" Hmm .. there's ours, 2 slots down 🙄 On Topic as always ... Wuling Bingo EV @ Makro on display, and have to say, looking quite impressive, abet low spec'd, but didn't expect it to be that finished. Much better than the Wuling Air EV

Our local Makro has the 2 for 1 again. Didn't have the 18 month Chedder, so picked up the Vintage (24 months). A bit sharp for me, so will use one for the 'Velveeta' again, and should taste much better. Especially since BBD is 10-1-2025

Yea, we never her out of her room, to play at grandma's with cousins & neighborhood kids ... Buddha forbid That of course left me, as single parent to teach her 3 languages, English, Thai (BKK), and isan-Lao, along with math of course. The sheltered life really restricted her growth, as only managed to graduate Uni, (her pick of any), along with winner English competitions at high school level. Managed to intern a the company she wanted while in Uni, during covid, then worked for them, along with starting her own business, and RE holdings. Renting them out, building equity, at no cost to her. And ... she's only 25 yrs old. She gets to blame all her failures on her parents while at her therapist Troll elsewhere

Last night's leftover; spicy sausage, egg noodles w/sausage & onions, and since brekkie, added a cheese omelet

Spiders, and they get free range in the house, since killing most other bugs. Chickens soon, but they'll have their own house. Along with, we'll be eating their abortions

Notice the charts charging start level is way below where we start. Usually ~30% +/- 5%, and usually on the + side of 30%. 3+ hours on first leg, hopefully, and ~250 ish kms. Usually with a 70-100 kms reserve at that point. We usually charge in the 30% - 90/95% when O&A. There chart seem to be starting at 10% ... We're rare if ever below 20% when O&A, (once), and only near 10% when doing an equalization.

Yea, it probably was, you just didn't notice it, or use the info available to know it. I was quite ignorant myself, and didn't realize how bad the air was at Udon Thani for years. Had a few reality checks, top level of parking garage @ Central Plaza different times of the year. Almost a 360° view, and rainy season can see all the hills, vs smog season, when you wouldn't even know they were there. Same with 2nd house build, having a 2nd story, and could see the ridges of the hills to the west toward Nong Bua LamPhu, during rainy season, and again, non existent during smog season. Most people at street level, can't tell, or if not at higher vistas, during both seasons. IGNORANCE IS BLISS ... then the reality kicked in, and I couldn't wait to leave, and go south for cleaner air. Still get the 75-100 AQI a couple months. Even when not that bad, the PM2.5 still is, as now, and air purifiers are on in the house. Outside locally and AQI is 62, but PM2.5 is 19 µg/m³ ... ... "PM2.5 concentration is currently 3.8 times the World Health Organization annual PM2.5 guideline value" ... XiaoMi to the rescue ...

Kudos to the PoPo ... well done 👍

Love how someone who can't deal with his demons / reality, dictates how his failures to cope, and need to escape, has anything to do with other's ability. Marijuana is not addicting. Habit forming, maybe, as so many, non stimulating things in life are also. Also not an entry drug to stronger. Alcohol was for me, and everyone I know, as first drug any of us used. That one really impairs your judgement if you let it, then you may experiment with others. I don't know anyone who started with marijuana, as an entry drug. Many, never decided to go further into stimulants after marijuana, knowing they were addictive, if abused.

Yes, sitting there trying to figure out all the different species of vehicles ... and all the different looking parasites inside 😎

Main reason I took my daughter out of nursery / kindergarten school, and home schooled her till 2nd semester of 1st grade. Too many snakes, and nobody paying attention. That and the cycle of being sick, stay home a week, return, get sick again, and repeat. Other parents not keeping kids home when sick. NO THANKS She learned more in 1 hour at home, than a week at school.

I did an 'unscientific' test of kWh per minute, and simply timed the % upticks by minute, and very consistent, up to 90+%, then at ~95%, drops off significantly. The ZS agreeing as the estimated finish time keeps moving, longer. That last 5% can take 15-20 minutes. We are also sitting in the car with the AC on, at the finishing up point. AC is usually on the whole time at CS, as wife, dog and or myself are in the car almost all the time. Rare the AC is every off, and only if using PEA and there's a provided AC sitting area. I am surprised the site is so far off, on the kWh / 100 kms rating. As rarely do we exceed 14kWh / 100 kms. Even @ 14, that's 330 kms range per charge, using 46.3kWh as useable capacity, and exceeds WLTP's 320 rating. That's highway speeds, 90 kph when possible. 110 ish when allowed, and balanced by stopping for cross traffic and slow traffic. On longer journeys, if we average 80 kph, over 3+ hrs, then we're happy.

Smart folks, as I don't know any LGB folks that agree with the rest of the alphabet soup. More simply embarrassed by them. Nobody is transitioning to anything, except mental illness. You got 2 versions, M & F, and you don't get to pick. How you enjoy either is UP2U, but try not to tell people you're something else, as all you'll be then, is quite foolish.

With any luck, if he kills the trees, they'll now hang out on or above is vehicle 😎

On my experience of nor following that, pyramid advice, and how my body feels better, have more energy, and my blood work numbers are markedly improved. Blood work simply verifies how I feel, since basically doing almost complete opposite of the food pyramid. High protein & fat, and very low starchy carbs & sugar. Cheeses as snacks instead of high sugar fruits. As I've stated many times, a Keto ish diet now.

Nothing new about it, but does seem to be getting a bit of press, with more enforcement and scrutiny now. Aside from the businesses that do that, for foreigners to have, more than a few folks do the same, when building, buying a home. Personally never understood the logic of a large investment, made illegally, and risk of losing if & when caught. Along with, not even having full control of that asset, as only allowed to own 49% of said company. as a foreigner, in most cases.

If taking a break along the Gulf of Thailand, looking at, instead of playing in, may be a safer experience. This is locally, PKK municipality, 100 kms south of Hua Hin, 170 kms north of Thung Wua Laen beach, Chumphon. BE SAFE

That's not our experience. Their range chart is way off also. When we can do 90 kph, rare, but 2 stretches, we can do it consistently, PKK - Pranburi & Pkk - Chumphon. We average about 14kWh/100kms +/-, nothing like 18kWh/100kms

HomePro has a bed & bed selection/vendor, and probably where I'd start if looking for a new mattress. Medium price range ??? I would expect to pay ฿30k +/- for a new mattress, as that was the ballpark of last mattress we bought. Think that was about 15 yrs ago, if not longer, and still in fine shape. Worth every baht.

BEV ... range range range ... best answer

Yes ... time, not sure about now, but I think it only took one payment cycle/month, and it showed up my my account. That was a few years ago, before 2020, I think.

No, we will always be 'guests', and have to ask permission to stay, every year. I doubt if that will every change, and a good think ... for TH.
