  1. That explains the ~10kWh we register per month, though basically 'off grid'. Seems the digital meter draws about 1/3 of spinners. Only thing conx to grid is MG wall charging cable, since draws ~7.4kWh, so not really usable on 8kWh inverter. For the curious, we use the granny/emergency charging cable for charging the MG ZS, @ 2.3kWh draw on solar and no problem most days, since having plenty of excess.
  2. ~ΰΈΏ1.5M - ΰΈΏ1.7M guess we'll find out at auto show end of Nov. ΰΈΏ1.27M in OZ ΰΈΏ1.9M in MX
  3. Use more lube, you won't be so sore ... ... what was the question
  4. Stop the presses ... ... News Flash ... man visits daughter
  5. Yep ... some seem to have very selective memories, or read the wrong news source. How many millions of people have the USA, UK, EU & NATO countries killed and or displaced this century alone, and it's not even 1/4 over BRICS current members represent 45% of the world's current population
  6. source "This falling out allegedly occurred prior to the financier pleading guilty to state criminal charges in Florida in 2008, which included charges of Epstein paying for sexual services from a 14-year-old girl."
  7. I didn't come here by force ... ... but apparently, I won't be leaving any time soon ...
  8. Everything is Wagyu now, and means about as much as the 'organic' label on anything. Just marketing. Wagyu - Japanese cattle, Unless it's coming from Japan It's BS. And few expats or even restaurants are going to pay that price for beef from Japan. Remember 10+ years ago when it hit the markets, and everyone was calling it Kobe Wagyu, the best version, supposedly, until Japan announced, they don't export Kobe beef, except to the most exclusive restaurants. So they all dropped that marketing scam. The Wagyu you buy is crossbred with something, anything, and if lucky, a Black Angus or other quality steer. Which is probably crossbred with something else. Some of the so called Wagyu looks like your basic USDA choice crap, and probably couldn't even be labeled A5. Think St Paddy's day, when everyone is part Irish Wagyu usually means you're simply paying too much. Unfortunately, hard to find anything not labeled Wagyu. Wagyu ground beef is the best. As makes perfect sense to me, to take a fine, expensive piece of Wagyu beef, and grind it up, sell if for 300-500 baht a kg ....
  9. Who's friend was coming over and wanted to do mushrooms .... ... that's why you don't do them by yourself
  10. Cone on already. HHQ has be revamped and had int'l service a couple times, and fails miserably every time. There's just no market for it. The ol' supply & demand applies, No demand, No supply. And HHQ to DMK or BKK, why bother, when taxi is just as fast, or faster, and will take you door to door in comfort & cheaper. Even the train is a better option and takes about the same time as flight, when everything is considered. For the CC, train, van or bus is simply too inexpensive. Airport is out of the way. Taxi mafia to/from, plus 2 ish hour check in, for 1 hour gate to gate, then deal with another taxi on arrival. Service is always silly priced. Not bad as an add on, direct or conx flight if fare is decent, if already at the airport and continuing on to or from. Needs to be convenience at a good price, and apparently hasn't happened yet.
  11. Only 255gr, and wide ... so ... thin.
  12. I don't buy the one in the photo I posted, too thin and no marbling. Just posted as the cheapest I've seen. Yours looks terrible, way too thin. Why I cut my own steaks.
  13. Probably the least expensive, or close to it. I like the Harvey brand (W. OZ) that Makro carries, and when larger pieces look good, I'll get them and cut them down, or the Picanhas (smaller), and get a few steaks from them. Like the 'fat cap' for Tallow. They occasionally have some local beef/steaks and have gotten lucky. if I see him slicing them, then he cut them thick for me, and makes a big difference. Why I prefer to buy larger pieces and cut my own. Proper prep & cooking is as important as original and or cut. Doesn't matter what it is, if you don't know how to cook it. Judging be some of the comments, a few of you all need to read up on reverse searing, or stop only flipping a steak once. Either use RS method, or sear for 1 minute, on 'show side', then every 30 secs, till you reach you desired internal temp.
  14. Losers ... nah, quite the opposite. Not trying to take down the USA, just don't want to cower & comply to their silliness. BRICS members are 45% of the world population. China, manufacturer of the world, can feed itself. Other have oil & gas resources, strong militaries. Wish TH would join, and they've thought about it, although already have great relationship with China, and don't really need anything or anyone else. USA, (and lapdogs) EU, UK, NATO ... what a joke 😎
  15. @sipi Dentist at BKK Hosp was quite good, and I used for root canal & crown, after a major F'up by BumCrap at BKK. Dental dept upstairs, just stroll past everyone, and escalators are to the left, then up, if in same place.
  16. New troll for the EV threads ... ... already ignored 😎
  17. I won't drink Schweppe's lime/lemon soda without Rum or Tequila in it 😎
  18. Been reported (not MSM) that a few A listers have left the country, after his arrest ... hmm Where oh where, doesn't have extradition treaty with USA
  19. The ICE version of the ZS only got ~14 kpL. so 6L isn't off by much. Surprised RD6 having quite a bit more battery, but not kms gained. 500 kg heavier but once rolling, especially on open road, would hope to get more range. The slow NEDC test speed, and stop & go drive of a heavier vehicle could explain the lower range rating. One would hope anyway. NEDC (Not Even Damn Close) is maybe possible, driving slow, knocking around town. The ZS rated at 403, is rare we actually get that, though have, and even exceeded it a few time, but I'm driving slow, and a bit of regen going on. We usually get a solid 350-360 knocking around town in 'ECO' mode, which is mixed 30-60-90 kph. On the highway at 90 kph, when we can maintain it, we'll exceed WLTP rating of 320 kms consistently. Get more kms than that, as regen kicking in, since usually can't maintain 90 kph for long stretches in TH. Not exactly the best 'inter-province' roads, as too much cross traffic & trucks at times. Highway range is actually impressive, sort of, as WLTP testing averages a speed of 47 kph, while NEDC testing averages a speed of 37 kph. You really don't start losing range, unless doing 100-120 kph, which you'll get 300 kms, with the ZS. Not many roads allow for long stretches of 90+ kph. So a non issue. BKK to Patts, but so close you wouldn't have to charge anyway, before getting there. T21 Asoke to T21 Patts is <150 kms. When we go PKK to BKK, there's only a few stretches signed @ 120 kph, which I usually don't exceed 110 anyway. Over the road, when O&A, we average about 80 kph, per leg, if lucky, so that's 3+ hrs before we stop to stretch, P, munch, and charge while doing so. That's a good size reserve, as still about 25-30% of battery left. 35-45 mins, and we back to 90-95%.
