  1. Yep ... daughter gave me her disney, netflix and some other channel's signins, and looked at their programs ... I'll pass. Nothing I can't download the torrent of, watch at my leisure, pause, rewind, keep (not lately) and delete.
  2. Run all the #s you want, point is, w/38%, pita was never going to be PM. He'll be lucky if he keeps his MP position.
  3. 4 pages of 'useful' comments, any wonder why the world is in the state it is.
  4. Hope he enjoys his holiday ???? Welcome Comrade Lavrov
  5. Yea, that will change things, more talking ???? Want change, do something different. Pull a Walesa, nationwide strike until the Senate is dissolved, and Constitution withdrawn. Anything else, keep banging your head against the wall.
  6. I was one of those kids in the USA ... started working around 12 yrs old. When in high school, I worked the night shift till at least 1 am, and teachers use to wonder why I fell asleep in class ... if I even showed up. Missed 40 of 160 days in my senior year of HS. Cry me a river ... we are our own responsibility. I live here, been to Khlong Toei, contributed to charities that are involved there, along with charities in Udon Thani. You haven't the slightest idea who I am or what I'm about. I don't talk it, I walk it ... ... Have a nice day
  7. To the title ... know or care ... No & No I don't do trends, I do me. Internet to me is; ... a wee bit of news ... a wee bit educational ... a wee bit entertainment Have FB to keep in contact with all my family & friends afar, all 15 of them on FB. Only 5 are not family. IG for promo of daughter's site, and only thing I'm on there for. Twitter is for twits, as is TikTok for ding dongs. Anything else, I have to plead ignorance. I don't have any TV/cable programming, and haven't for past 30+ yrs. YT for edu/ent factor, only subscribe to <10 channels, maybe 4 active (cooking). Gmap & G for info & research, most O&As (hotels/restaurants/purchases) AN ... on & off during the day, in between living, enjoying ourselves. Usually AM w/coffee, or if raining, and or stuck in the house, then I'm trollin' your butts all day, while contemplating suicide, waiting for the dog to ask me to take her for another walk.
  8. You may want to shop around, as we've been quoted <7k to 25k baht for our MG ZS (present insured value of 960k baht)
  9. MFP received 38% of the votes. 62% of the people, wanted a different party. Then next two, more experienced party members received a total of more votes:
  10. Those that stay in school, apply themselves, don't wait for hands out, are not poor. Same same, not different, every country, aside from those war torn, and starting over. Only thing I expect from a govt is basic education, healthcare and infrastructure. All provided here/TH. The rest is on you, and your responsibility.
  11. As noted by others, he isn't stepping down, as hasn't stepped up yet. No sense in fighting a fight you know you can't win.
  12. Not that much older. I always play the long game, especially since wife is 22 yrs younger than me. Enjoy the extra comfort & savings now, and she'll enjoy decades after I'm long gone...hopefully not too soon.
  13. As always, buy what you want/comfort level, with what you can afford. Live within ones means. Celerio definitely wouldn't work for us, NO THANKS Price difference of EV vs ICE MG ZS is about ฿200k. IF driving 20k kms a year, like we do, that ROI is realized in < 5 yrs, after that, it's free transport, using our excess solar @ home. ฿200k ÷ ฿37/L = 5405/L X 14kpL = 75,660 kms ÷ 20k = 3.78 yrs. Not counting those 7 oil changes & 2 full tune ups. Easy & quick ROI for us. YMMV
  14. That is the point, he's not going to be PM, so stop wasting time. He's not going to be PM, no matter how long it take, a waste time. No need for a 2nd or 3rd round of voting.
  15. Economy wise, and very easy to calculate and realize the saving of EV over ICEV, using 91 @ ฿37 per Liter. IF having solar at home, as we do, then an EV is a no brainer. We owned both ICE and now EV version of the MG ZS. Around town, we get 360 kms per full charge. O&A we get about 320 kms per charge, since at speeds much higher than local driving. At home, if paying, say a high ฿4.5 per kWh, that would cost us; 46.3kWh @ 4.5 = ฿208 Petrol @ ฿37 to go 360 kms (14kp/L) = ฿950 O&A @ CS ... average ฿7.5kWh, (peak hours) so 320kms would cost; EV ,,, ฿347 ICEV ... ฿845
  16. When O&A, plenty of choice for charging: MG Super Chargers ... if owning, or have member card PEA Volta ... @ BangChak petrol stations, and PEA offices (not all) EV Station Pluz ... @ PTT station (reserve only) EA Anywhere ... at many destinations, petrol stations, malls, even some MG dealers use their charging cables. Have not used yet. Elexa ... haven't use, but a favorite of one of the AN members eVolta ... we have, but not used, and don't like them, since most are not fast chargers. Would not recommend as we did, putting money on their app, as can't take it off. May be a while before we use that up. PlugShare is a good site to find charging stations w/reviews ChargeLoma is an app, with similar information All the vendor apps have more current information
  17. That's what the defense bill is, appropriation to buy new toys and or upgrade what's in inventory already for the USA military. Is this the same administration that is giving billions away to UA, but now nit picking the budget for the USA's defense budget ? A bit hypocritical one would think.
  18. I have a BEV, MG ZS, and love it. As long as you can charge at home, and are not one of those impatient drivers who need to be where ever ASAP, when on the road, O&A (out & about), then you'll probably love it also. Plenty of CS (charging station) country wide. Weekends, I read it's good to reserve when using CS, as they can get busy. I've yet to need to, but usually avoid weekends for other reasons. Saying that, we were O&A on weekends and yet to encounter or wait for a Q. I think once we just went to next CS couple kms down the road, and not Q related. If O&A quite often, then sign up & know the CS/vendors procedures before going O&A. Some require apps, CC, bank transfer. All quite easy. One just went to a 'reserve only' format, (EV Station Pluz) which I'm not a fan of, so will not be using in the future, unless last resort. We use; MG, since having, 1st choice PEA, 2nd choice, those 2 have been enough, though used EV Station Pluz quite a bit in the past. Either is always on the way, and rare to leave the highway to use any CS. IF so, then conveniently located, just off the main road. Atto 3 is a nice looking ride, and we see a lot of them. Economy wise, it really doesn't get any cheaper and easier for local transport. No longer needing to go to petrol station, just plug in at home for a fraction of the cost of petrol, now ฿37 for 91 ???? I would avoid comments from the naysayers, folks that don't own an EV. Most haven't a clue, and do nothing but spew a false, bias narrative of ignorance ... IMHO I don't give advice about diesel engine vehicles, as I've never owned one ... nuff said.
  19. THANKS ... don't know why people can't follow simple instructions. Why ask if not going to use the info. THANKS again. Note: not that I needed, as Thai calendar is easy enough to understand, but saves me 1 thinking process. Not that hard to realize if not 2566, then it's not this year
  20. One round of voting was enough, and he wasn't even close to being PM ... ... move on, stop wasting time.
  21. Wants the people to win over the hearts & minds of the Senators, he wants to get rid of. Hope he doesn't wonder why they didn't vote for him as PM. "Vote for me & I'll try to end your career" ... kind of wonder how he got to where he is today with such insight.
  22. Nothing says you can't have a YB, a lease & CoR all at the same time. If that's what you want or think you may need. PP, Pink ID or yellow book is all I've ever needed. When asked for ID or address, I offer the Pink ID first, and 99% of the time, that's all they need or want to see.
  23. Just make yourself known, as we had a few at the last house, and usually scurried away, till couple years there, then we got used to each other. One would actually sun on the pad while I had my coffee, about 5m away. Along with setting on top the waterfall sunning, and about 10m away.
