1/4 mill +, that all. In TH, that means 1 mill. With all the money I'm saving with solar, EV, making my own baked beans, and bread, maybe in 10 years I'll be able to buy a spare tire for it. Then when I hit the Powerball, I'll pick one up. Silly toys for people with more money than common sense.

Just buy the new bike that you want. They aren't expensive, and surely much easier than trying to source and worse, have someone else build for you. New will actually work, headache free, and may even be cheaper, definitely better.

First, are you farmer ? If not, forget it. Water, if not there, working well/bore hole, put one in before buying, condition of purchase. If not, forget it. Many more red flags, but if you can get pass those 2, chime back in.

Completely different packaging, but as I said, long time ago. Going to peek in Lotus's & Makro, see if they have. Rarely shop at Lotus's, but Makro didn't have my yeast, and can't remember where I bought. Swensen's (2/1 Tues) is in the Lotus's 'mall', so I'll be there Tuesday ???? https://www.lazada.co.th/products/blue-mountain-250-i130163641-s138113303.html?from_gmc=1&exlaz=d_1:mm_150050845_51350205_2010350205::12:19668221003!!!!!c!!138113303!124974055&gclid=CjwKCAjwgqejBhBAEiwAuWHioCUeH53NHQrFkrMUKct0HnnF9zpAQhCP-9dYSia6GEfRrMOil2j2WhoCF_8QAvD_BwE

Probably Lotus's, and that was quite some time ago, as still in Udon Thani at the time, so pre 2015. May have been ground already. though vacuum packed.

That's why we only order 3 kgs at at a time. Actually by some folks thinking, should order less, but first cup, taste the same as last cup, at the end of 3 kgs. Obviously not the coffee purist, since drinking Americano or Cappuccino. And that's 1:2 ration vs 1:1 for espresso, before the extra water flows threw or milk added. Espresso, 1 or double shot, even 1:2 ratio, is pretty vile stuff, and barely a sip ☕

"I'd like to change (gold) to cash, easier to carry" ... or something like that.

With his level of intelligence, I'm guessing his life's savings didn't amount to much money.

We order these, (photo & link below) as good as any we've tried, and decent price. We order about 3 kg at a time, and use 75-100gr a day, as my morning brew (drip) is 50gr coffee with 300gr water for a 200ml yield, so a decent Americano (w/10gr white sugar). Wife less so, but may have 2 cups a day If Cappuccino, then 50gr/150gr water & 100gr milk, same sugar. Again, drip funnel. Have Moka pot, French Press, Coffee machine, and I still prefer using an inexpensive drip funnel w/paper filter. Side by side, and very little difference, though the other processes, use a bit less coffee for same yield, but not as easy to use & clean up. Bon Cafe puts out some decent beans, and have sampled a few. Prefer their "Morning Blend', with added plus of being their least expensive. Better to buy at the shops, if possible, as cheaper than from chain stores that stock. Have also tried 'blue mountain', 'aroma', Hillkoff, and a few others, but still come back to Cafe Roma beans. I've also bought beans from a coffee shop or 2, that made an excellent cup of, but yet to be able to replicate the same results at home. ???? Wife orders & pays via Line app, and arrives within a day or so. https://caferomath.wixsite.com/caferomathai

I'm not seeing the value of the pretty primo stuff sold for ฿500-600-700gr, vs my purchases @ ฿8-14-140gr. 1/2 gr to 1 gr doobie does me fine for the evening to all day. Don't know how spending 3-10X that is going to enhance the experience. Marginal taste & harshness, may be noticed, but that's about it. Or I'm missing something, but have no desire to find out, at those prices. As they are all only rated at 15-25% THC.

I don't think there is any news network, that hasn't been duped or caught, creating fake news. I personally don't believe much of anything any more. Too much money and special interest controlling every aspect of the media we're fed.

Thankfully, and why we enjoy being O&A then, along with no smog, and the rains bring green-ness & clean air to everywhere.

Prepared food at Tops isn't exactly known for being inexpensive, though possibly cheaper for some vs at a restaurant. Their salad bar is something like ฿35 per 100gr, and not too many veggies sell for ฿350 kg, so a nice mark up, especially if you load up on roasted potatoes instead of roasted peppers or asparagus. On that (off topic) saw asparagus at Makro yesterday, at ฿265 kg ???? which we bought last time, at local wet market for ฿40 kg, and yea, we bought a sh!tload at that price. Figs, peppers & asparagus in the garden for the obvious reason. At Tops, stick to the basics or sale items. You have shopping choices.

Yes it was by choice, but the infrastructure can hardly keep up with the non-tourist population. 8-14 million people at BKK-metro is simply too many already. At 1838 hrs on a Tuesday, rush hour should be winding down, not in Krung Thep;

Yes, and why there is a limit on the size of batteries/power banks allowed to be carried on a plane. If a fire, then controllable. Most of my power banks, bought or DIY, wouldn't be allowed. Also goes to 'user error' of many, some DIY, some modified, some using improper chargers/charging. Along with a proper house current. Along with, cheap, POS, non certified, dangerous batteries being sold, but would think the lesser of the evils, especially if imported, as many countries ban un-'certified' electronics. The simply fact that it was being charged indoors & unattended, leads me to suspect 'user error'. And not RTFM ... IS user error. Again ... you can't fix stupid

It happens everywhere, every day, it's just not news. Well, maybe not countries that chop your hand off if caught stealing.

AU having one of largest lithium reserves, make sense.

More like 30 yrs ... - wiki "1991: Sony and Asahi Kasei released the first commercial lithium-ion battery. The Japanese team that successfully commercialized the technology was led by Yoshio Nishi" Bought my first drone 2010 / 11 and I was late to the game and cell phones been around how long, they all around LiPo s.

That's more lacks than than I would have expected, good info.

Why bother, you are downloading or joining no matter. I read my product manuals, as I like to know what they can, and cannot do. UP2U ... but I prefer not to be a statistic.

"In the UK, Air Quality News made an in-depth study of the EV fire threat, and discovered that in 2019 the London Fire Brigade tackled 54 fires in EVs, compared to 1,898 in petrol and diesel cars. A more recent study by Health & Safety specialist CE Safety suggested there had been 735 call-outs to EV fires in the UK over the past five years – but this included all types of EV including scooters and bikes, with cars representing just 44% of the total – so around 323 when there are close to 33 million cars on the UK’s roads…" https://www.thecarexpert.co.uk/are-electric-car-fires-really-that-common/

They really should RTFM You can't fix stupid

common sense doesn't prevail with some people ... ... don't charge indoors, or leave unattended. Of course we don't know if 'user error' was involved, Bought new or used, just 2 weeks ago. All the LiPo batteries I've had & charged, pushing the limits of, only one went oops, and THB, it wasn't a surprise, and should have discarded long ago. Just thankful it went pop while charging, instead of while being operated in my drone. And it was not OEM, IF that matters ????
