EV Owners … Real life experience & help thread
KhunLA replied to KhunLA's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
My usual morning cruise, from 8-15kms, with a couple on hwy 4. Consistently get about 360kms per charge around town. Beating the WLTP rating of 320, which is about what we get at highway speeds of 90kph. 46.3kWh ÷ 12.7/100kms = 3.64 X 100 = 364 kms per charge -
Most of the govt school education (high school 1-12) was basically useless in everyday life, with exception of math & science/chemistry/physics. Certainly didn't need 3 different languages, English lit, art or history, as anything else was an elective. So basically 6 classes a day, only 2 useful, and repetitively redundant the first 8 yrs.

The difficulty of avoiding sugar in Thailand.
KhunLA replied to Felton Jarvis's topic in Eastern Thailand
To help you understand why 'table sugar' isn't the demon it's made out to be. You may want to skip through to 23:11, just after the sponsor advert: -

In the past, never understood the salt on fruits, but now know the science of it, and it does seem to make sense. Though i still don't do, myself. Surely it's added to my Thai Spicy Fruit Salad, and a favorite of mine here/TH. -
The difficulty of avoiding sugar in Thailand.
KhunLA replied to Felton Jarvis's topic in Eastern Thailand
I came to my opinion, because of my research. Believe what you want, but sweets & pastry have been a mainstay of my diet, forever, and still no ill effects, coming up on 69 years. Though never a sugary soda pop drinker, or alky, so avoid most of the sugar others consume, along with avoiding overly processed food. -

I don't think sugar is the demon ingredient it's made out to be. Saying that, agree, sugar as an ingredient is way OTT at times here, and worldwide. Really have to read the labels, and try to exercise moderation. One of the reasons we avoid processed foods, and many restaurants. -

Why is walking so good for you? Here's what studies show.
KhunLA replied to Social Media's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I get my 2 daily walks in with the dog every day. Not exactly speed walking or long distance, but a least I get everything moving, instead of being sedentary all day. -
Cuban Black Beans: Available in Thailand? Where?
KhunLA replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in Western Food in Thailand
Now your talking my language. Use to visit Ybor City/Tampa & Clearwater Beach area at least every month for couple weeks, when working at PHL airport, having a friend w/bennies living at Clearwater. Can't beat a Cuban (sandwich) or their beans. After hours salsa clubs rock. -
Really, never tried myself, as don't like them anyway. We do baked beans more as a casserole dish, side or even a main meal, depending what's in it. Usually: onions, green/red peppers, spicy sausage, leaning toward a bbq sauce flavor, spiced up with Cayenne pepper. Nothing even close to what comes out of a tin. How Mum served them up as a youngin', never out of the can. Ham instead of sausage, and not spicy.

Ayam are pretty gross, and can't believe people actually eat them. We I bought them, it was Brooks after discovering. Although I'd pour the tomato sauce, and doctor up the rest, add veggies & meat. Straight from the can, I can't do it, and wouldn't give it to my dog without tweaking. Since silly priced now, (3@220 ????) we just get dried beans from Makro.

NO, we rarely used a living room. New house doesn't even have one, and the sofa sits in hall way in front of the sliding glass doors to the veranda, which is the perch for the dog, awaiting the squirrels & tree shrews to run by on the wall, to bark at. Never sit on the floor, not with my back Yes, but no massive wall unit. Just sits on the speakers, for that theater big screen look. They make all kinds of ingenious space saving furniture, Very cool & practical.

Heinz Baked Beans recipe – copycat
-
Was thinking how skint do you have to be, to ask friends to bring baked beans over. Especially with the limited amount of luggage they are allotted. If bringing anything, bring something expensive here, that cheap there. If from UK or EU ... maybe an 'Instant Pot' ... see below why. Buy dried and make your own. Canned beans, straight out of the tin, taste like crap anyway, and I can believe people actually eat them that way. Don't want to soak them overnight or cook for a while in slaw cook afterward, buy a pressure cooker, or better, an 'Instant Pot', Duo 7 in 1 cooker, and eliminate the need for the other 5, as it doesn't do (1) rice very well.

Is that a British company with great beans since 1892 ???? Nah ... started by a Frenchie ... OMG

That's one of those questions, if you have to ask, you wouldn't understand the answer. I loved my firearms also. This shows Yanks aren't alone with their love for firearms. And guessing, they're just the legal one ???? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimated_number_of_civilian_guns_per_capita_by_country

BYD fire tracking Thailand
KhunLA replied to ExpatOilWorker's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
I just ask ... "What are you burning now ?" Almost always when steaming or boiling water. Finally got her to use a timer when boiling eggs. Aside from that, she a genius in the kitchen. -
BYD fire tracking Thailand
KhunLA replied to ExpatOilWorker's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Got a scare the other day. Came out of the bedroom and smelled something burnt. Of course first thing on my mind ???? and ran to the carport, EVs still in tact ???? Someone, not me, steaming sweet potatoes, ran out of water in the pot. Honey, maybe use the timer next time. -
I use our outside sitting areas. Front porch, morning coffee with the dog, as it faces West. Anytime in afternoon, on back veranda, as it faces East. At least a couple times a week, weather permitting. So I'd need a balcony facing North. Which would be preferred anyway, as less sun exposure on studio.
