More taxes will solve everything ... ... and the band played on

Cook book & cooking show to wind down the years 😎

Is this not something that is done every year anyway, supposedly ? Inspected, insured, tax paid. All vehicles spewing out black smoke should be pulled over, fined & 'tagged' removed from the road and not allowed to proceed till serviced. Problem solved

OP, might want to go see a doc, as 50 is way to young to be having that problem.

Riddara RD6 2WD 63kWh ... NEDC 373 kms ???? MG ZS 50.3 (46.3 kWh usable) ... NEDC 403 kms 20-25% more battery capacity ... but What up with that ? They don't test pick ups w/loads do they ? Curb wt. ZS 1570 / RD6 2,065 kg ... "The 2WD model is equipped with a 200 kW (292 PS) electric motor with a maximum torque of 385 Nm, sending power to the rear wheels. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h takes 7.3 seconds, top speed 185 km/h. There are 3 driving modes: Economy, Comfort and Sport. The battery is a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) type with a capacity of 63 kWh, driving a maximum distance of 373 km per full charge, and a capacity of 73 kW increases the maximum driving range to 461 km (according to the NEDC standard)."

If it's not cold enough to produce snow, I can't call it winter Damn GW ... "This season is anticipated to be colder than last year, "

Thanks, now I can avoid another silly 'what if' the world ends threads. Seems someone doesn't realize where the Gulf of Thailand is @Old Curmudgeon

Usual scrambled eggs, and the chicken GODS were shining on me, 2 double yolkers. Finally polished off that meatloaf.

And yet, our travel times have been very consistent, over the past 22 years. Timing of course is everything, as is everywhere worldwide when going to, from, or through a metro area. Rarely do they fluctuate more the 30 minutes, between Bangkok and Muang, PKK, the past 7 ish years. Northbound to Udon Thani has gotten considerably longer, time wise. Southbound out of BKK hasn't changed much at all. Again ... timing. No matter where you travels, just use Gmaps, and it will usually do a good job to get you there. Times are fairly accurate I find. Be flexible and enjoy your journey.

12 g maybe for me, but not the wife Another 'what if' that simply isn't going to happen in my life time, or my wife's. You're talking about 'our' currency dying, not necessarily Thailand's. We live kind of rural, lot's of farming, so plenty of food for everyone. You talking abut economic issues, not an 'end of days' scenario. Civilization has been coming to an end, since it started. It's not profitable for the puppeteers to allow world bankruptcy (already there) so it will never happen. We almost produce enough on one lot now, and just cleared 2 more small ones. Only 2 of us, and we can't eat that much food. Use for bartering, for meats; beef, pork, chicken. Collect rain water already and desalinization is easy enough. No worries here. Plus we live walking distance to the Gulf, have BEVs & solar. Actually thinking about adding another 10kWh of ESS to the system. Along with another separate system on one of the lots in vid, as has good exposure, and I can DIY it, as no roof to climb on.

Irrelevant for myself, as I'll never give control of the car to a computer. Not in TH, not anywhere. I use cruise control, and that's about it, to maintain the speed limit, or I'll exceed it on open roads. Other driver assists (stay in lane) are disabled. Annoying & Thai roads aren't really made for it.

If all you have is money / bank notes, and you need to survive, then you will simply die with your currency. Or, unless you, yourself are marketable ... a whole new crop of free-lancers As much as a gold mine I am in that aspect, I won't need to exercise that route, as we are fairly self sufficient, or will be shortly. No need for anything or anybody. All prepped up over the past 2 years, and just need to fine tune the operation, with some more planting, some chickens ... and buy a damn fishing rod 🙄

Wish I had that common sense in the beginning, as crashed my first drone on first day, ignored that little tidbit of advice; practice in open area. Does it have GPS ? Though actually better to learn operating if it doesn't. Crashing mine on day one, cracked the GPS module, so I had to learn to operate with any electronic assistance. Just find a open area, and practice at very low altitude, take off, point A to B, the sort of play baseball with it (square flight path), go to point C then D then back to A. Repeat till it's second nature. Flying back is the killer, as everything/controls are reversed. Never use 'headless' mode, as will never learn anything using that. Practice practice practice on entry level, till it's 2nd nature.

That's going to be 'land office' dependent. Udon Thani PLO, wouldn't transfer land until I signed off my usufructs. Muang PKK is the same. Wouldn't even allow the owner to modify the house, without my permission, which I thought was kind of cool. Owner is my wife Another way to protect one's house investment, that is in the law, and if you are given the right to sublease. They will not transfer anything, if it affects a 3rd party, or so I read. Good for those that do the 30 year lease thing, and can't be cancelled as will affect a 3rd party. A wife, ex wife, can cancel a lease, 1 year after divorce. I had success with POA, selling first house. But true what you state, Thai owner could simply sell on the cheap to family or friend, and simply wait to you die, and possibly, rush that possibility. After I threw the wife out, I was looking over my shoulder the first month, for any full faced MB riders coming up from behind ...

Things like below, along with recent covid/vaccine BS, that many, myself included simply don't trust folks like FDA or CDC anymore. Hoping not to go off topic, with vaccine debate, as more than enough threads already. "High-profile cases involving prominent scientists, such as the former Stanford University president and leaders at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, have gained national attention, making science sleuths impossible for the research community to ignore." They seem to keep pushing info and advice that is contradictory to new data. Or worst, just totally false, think current drama. Back to treatment of cancer for instance ... Watched and excellent YT vid last night, coincidently, reinforcing what I already knew, but explaining the finer details of that knowledge. How the 'advisory' folks are still recommending cancer treatments & diet, on old data, and simply ignoring new data. Hopefully out of ignorance, but suspect it to be more profit driven, sadly, and just IMHO of course. There's a push to get the new data accepted in the medical community, but obviously not in the best interest of Big Pharma, so a very uphill fight. They are still pushing the very profitable treatment of most cancer based on the 'somatic mutation theory', when the data clearing points to 'mitochondrial metabolic theory'. Again, for profits ... just IMHO of course. This really is a must watch IMHO

Let me correct that for you ... ... " People forget, all science should be looked at by others before it is proven."

Yes, sort of (needs registration), no and no. If having camera, need to register with 2 authorities; local PoPo (all) & CAAT (w/camera) To the OP, that's good news all around. Especially minimum specs & repair centers.

Wifey does that, quite the minute amount though. Me, straight black. Don't think the butter would add much benefit to myself, as drink a darker, less caffeinated roast. Plus I really don't need the extra caloric load, that early in the morning, as won't be burning it off till near noon. I take in more than enough fat already.

Guess it depends where you live. USA has VICP (Vaccine Court), yea, it's own court just for vaccine lawsuits/claims for injury and or death. All no fault decisions, so nothing makes the news. Been inexistence for35+ years, and paid out billions. $.75 is added to every vaccine sale, so the vaccine self funds to settle claims. So they fund the awards and, no direct cost to big pharma. Or responsibility, blame on the manufacturer of the poison that hurt or killed people. That's why the covid vaccine / gene therapy was classified as a vaccine, and probably while the changed the definition of 'vaccine'. IMHO $5 billion on 10,443 claims ... that's some pretty big payouts. In Louisiana, USA, there's 12,000+ pending cases, but they are also suing the process of how CICP are handling such cases. Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) Typical USA court system, all type in litigation. I think it's a separate court and not VICP, since being named. "Vaccine makers Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, which have been indemnified by the government" Google is your friend, as the article is behind a paywall and difficult (time consuming) to read, and I can't be bothered.

Same advice ... don't use wood. You'll probably never has to replace them again. Our house has NO WOOD in any part of the construction. Simply not needed. You'll also eliminate the 'seasonal swelling' when wood windows/doors are exposed to moisture, direct or simply RH.

Anyone familiar with this, as seen while peeking at FB Marketplace ... Seem to have a TH distributor BYD cells ???

Now ??? Last shows in TH, was in August 2022 @ Hua Hin & in August 2022, @ Phuket Tour Dates (not TH)

Google the first three; pence, barr, mattis, and all three have books for sale ... ... think it's called marketing Surely they got nice advances, and probably not for talking nice about Trump ... IMHO No need to waste any more time, trying to figure out the others' motives.

And it's not even November yet Rains won't start till about May ... ... Nov-Dec-Jan-Feb-Mar-Apr ... 1-2-3-4-5-6 months And up North ... ... PM2.5 today @ CM, actually not bad, and relative to how crappy it usually is, just 2X WHO's healthy index
