I rarely go with the wife to check into hotel, as I'm parking the car, and wait with the dog till she's done. I give her my pink ID, so she has something to give them, IF, they ask, which is rare. With pink ID, they can't do TM30, as doesn't have the proper info, or so I was told. This an old habit from when you had to do a TM30 when returning home, so avoided the need for that, by not using PP. Doesn't seem to be a problem with chain, Ibis being a favorite of ours due to pet friendly. Smaller, non chain hotels couldn't be bothered, as one less thing for them to do.

Maybe they should pass a bill to restrict celebrities from flying private jets to events on Earth Day, so they can tell us how to 'save the planet'

An expect response, and almost didn't post because of that. Expect more to follow. Won't reply, just expressing my thoughts, after reading the first couple replies. Title asked ... I answered. Not my fault you don't like the answer ... cheers

Sorry mates, not a fan at all. One reason I couldn't live, or even visit there. Not a fan of Brit, or Indian food. And fish & chips ... only one thing comes to mind. How to ruin a good piece of white fish ... ... deep fry it. When lived in Udon Thani, did eat my fair share of meat pies (steak & shrooms), but think I was there more for the pints, black & tan/Guinness & Kilkenny. Pies may have simply been a break from Thai food & Pizza. Was a regular at Brit Pub in Philly, during happy hour, as having one of the best beer selections. But never ate there, which bartender always chuckled about, knowing I was going to pig out as soon as I left.

Yep ... ... another day, another thread, another on that list 🙄

I use Chrome exclusively, and seems you need to open everything in a new tab, which I actually do anyway.

Another false narrative ... NETA V starts @ ฿549k and cheaper than most, if not all, 4 cyl /AT, entry level 'made in TH' JP badged cars. MGs start @ ฿771k and cheaper than most JP badged imports of comparable quality.

Same a JBCR, I consistently get more than the WLTP rating locally, 360 kms vs rating of 320 kms. Mixed speeds or 30-60-90 kph. Impressed with the 300 kms on open road @ 90 kph, considering almost 2X the WLTP test speed of 47 kph, and not in perfect conditions, using the AC & Cruise control. At the end of a 3+ hr leg, usually average about 80 kph. TH not exactly having non-stop inter province roadways.

We get nice panoramic sunrises ... trees bloke sunsets

Roos I know about, as get plenty of press. "Roo guards" for your vehicles ... nuff said Both quite the nuisance ... "About 1.5 million deer-car accidents happen every year. More than $1 billion in annual insured losses are due to damages caused by deer-car accidents. Deer-car accidents cause about 175 to 200 fatalities and 10,000 injuries annually. Feb 13, 2023" My home state of PA making top 5 list for accidents with:

Pee Wee Herman is coming to mind ...

then why did you ask. ... you better get a really long extension cord, as the true source is the sun. Good luck plugging in 🙄 If you are plugged into your EV, that IS YOUR SOURCE OF POWER. Sort of irrelevant where that source was supplied power. So your AA batteries are not a source of power, but the factory where made & charged up, or would it be the nuke plant down the road powering the grid to the factory. I now have this image of you shopping: ... 'excuse me, do you have any portable power from the nuke plant down the road?'

Was the study funded by .... What next ... snort a few lines, and some crystals in your eyes, OUCH, to cover all entry points 🤣 More silliness ... just keep your immune system at peak performance. You unhealthy ol' farts ... good luck.

Already explained, quite well I may add. Simply (must have V2L), plugging in extension cords where needed, staying under max capacity. Which should easily run a freezer, frig, fan & light, untill power is restored, if an outage. Or if working with tools or whatever too far away from house to run extensions. If outages are way too common, then may add to use the breaker box option, though TBH, not something I'd bother with, and UP2U of course. Just nice having an option to keep things running on longer outages. Thankfully we don't have outages where I am. 1 very short one in 5 years here, though work on the line one time, did cause an outage all day. Irrelevant for us now, since having solar w/battery back up. Doubt if we'll ever use our V2L adaptor at home, maybe while O&A, make coffee at isolated viewpoint.

AC uses very little, surprisingly. Maybe 1-2% per hour, as we leave the dog in the car quite a lot. And that's with the car on 'ready/full power', so if you somehow got in, you could drive away. Nothing you'd really notice IMHO screenshot posted here

I used to also drive the NJ turnpike when I worked at Newark airport, from Bethel, Pa (hwy 322/near Chester, PA), and a 2.5 hr commute to work (one way). Non yanks have no idea how dangerous the deer population is in USA. On topic: Wouldn't mind 1 or 3 in the backyard here though, as long as 'tick free'. Anyone wanting to see a bunch of 'free roaming' deer, Chumphon the place to go:

Interesting ... as only 1 yr old vid, and she counters the 'expensive' CS scenario and points out plenty of 'FREE' charging stations about 👍 Who would have thought .. real life EV owner's experiences vs non owners' ignorance.

With that, seems cheaper than Thailand's price for the Raptor: "The 2023 Ford Ranger Raptor is now available in Thailand starting at 1,869,000 baht" Didn't compare actually specs, as no interest in owning Raptor or F-150 Lightening Pro, along with not living in either CN or USA

I don't think there is/was a corkage fee at Udon Thani branch. I was a frequent customer. Even saw Carabao there, on an impromptu show, and what a night, as one band member lived in the area, and daughter attended school at my daughter's school.

I doubt if many people even know what Marxism is. Since I didn't study it, I certainly didn't. Reading Wiki and you get the puppeteer spin that it doesn't really exist today ... ... "As Marxism has developed over time into various branches and schools of thought, no single, definitive Marxist theory exists." Then shows example of, contradicting itself, showing it certainly does exist today, with most of the world reaching it's final stage ... ... "Marx considered recurring class conflicts as the driving force of human history as such conflicts have manifested as distinct transitional stages of development in Western Europe. Accordingly, Marx designated human history as encompassing four stages of development in relations of production: 1. Primitive communism: cooperative tribal societies. 2. Slave society: development of tribal to city-state in which aristocracy is born. 3. Feudalism: aristocrats are the ruling class, while merchants evolve into the bourgeoisie. 4. Capitalism: capitalists are the ruling class who create and employ the proletariat."
