  1. Also consider, many of the top 1-5% earners (in USA) are already paying 25-37% income tax, where the bottom 50% of the people are paying 0-15% income tax. Why those who earning the most, 1-5% er or even top 20% earners, would welcome a fair, across the board, 15% income tax. EVERYONE PAYS THE SAME % = FAIR TAX Just because we chose to earn more for US & Family, doesn't mean the lay abouts get to steal it. Want more - Earn more
  2. Posted more than a few times, but worth a repeat, some folks think 2500 cycles is very conservative: Not if only the rest of the car can keep up with the motor & battery longevity 🤣
  3. Here's a few, and probably more out there. Some sites, just list them as Lithium Ion, which is confusing at times, and unless specified 'LFP' many assume it's not. MG ZS 2022 was listed that way, but is actually using LFP chemistry. Actually had a hard time verifying it was LFP, as UK & Au sites/news specified it was, bu not Thai sites. Verified it by reading user manual. (MG ZS EV Long Range (not available in TH), does NOT use LFP) "It's already being used by the MG ZS EV and BYD Atto 3 crossover SUVs, base variants of the Tesla Model 3 sedan, Model Y SUV, and GWM Ora small hatchback. Unlike NMC and NCA, LFP batteries don't contain nickel, cobalt and magnesium, resulting in cheaper manufacturing costs.Feb 19, 2023" edit: noted in reply below ... Ora Good Cat (not 500 version) source "SAIC Motor opens 1st EV battery plant in Thailand" source NETA V ... maybe next year's model will offer LFP batteries source
  4. to the title ... that would depend why you use baht buses, and if you actually chose to.
  5. You're living, so you are living from the dead, whether plant or animal. Just because you're not doing the killing, or hear their anguish while dying doesn't mean they didn't suffer. AND YES ... plants make sounds when in distress, you simply can't hear that frequency. Killing for sport is murder ... eating is simply nature. Feel free to stop anytime you want ... please 😎
  6. Solar System ROI - about 5 years Actually numbers produced vs PEA + EV saving for the past year. Coincides with owning the EV since 30 Oct 2022 Assume driving 20k kms a year 'locally' and charging w/Solar. Should be self explanatory:
  7. More mental than financial. One AN member refers to me as rich quite often, which I counter ... NOT. Just comfy, as 'rich' to me is a whole other level of financial 'freedom', for lack of a better word. Comfy is having just more than enough, and if having a wee bit more than that, really not sure what I'd spend it on, without being frivolous. Probably give most to my daughter, who really doesn't need it, but would appreciate it. Now, rich, that's Powerball winning thoughts, and ability to do anything, anytime, without thought. I'd probably be nomadic, fly around, worldwide, and see all the things I could imagine, spending silly money, to make it as easy and trouble free as possible. Private plane, live out of best hotel, chopper to sites where possible. Private tours of museums. Silly A$$ frivolous stuff, and with some of the Powerball winning #s, still give millions away, to good causes. Now, I'm too lazy and or thrifty to hop on a plane to go to the Louvre in Paris, for a long weekend, or week, as simply dread sitting on a plane that long, even in 1st Class, or the thought of what else I'd do with what a week in Paris or anywhere would cost. That or hop over to Alaska, check out aurora borealis, but in the end, I'd think, that was waste of money, as I could have bought ??? Probably the first 2 things I'd do if hitting the Powerball. I like a good museum or nature. Not much I think I'd actually appreciate, if having to spend 'so much' money to do or see. Too thrifty or CC I guess. I get more enjoyment having lunch or dinner with the daughter or taking the dog for a walk surfside. With that thought .... out of here.
  8. Sad people are still that ignorant of so many things in the 21st Century, with so much info available. His reply is just one ignorant statement after another.
  9. As stated, 'NO option to decline', and why ask signed in members, when in our profile, we already declined to have any email, and other BS. I rarely access the site on phone because of the pop ups, that constant repetitive vid, and see myself soon not bothering with the site on the laptop. Ask once with option to decline. Along with on every new tab opened.
  10. Slow start, but picks up toward the end. Also a fan of 'JC' ... enjoyed 'Person of Interest' Worth a watch if haven't seen the series, and will keep you busy (103 eps)
  11. Our system would cost 3X what it cost us here, back in Philly, PA, USA/Tri-state area. Aside from all the regulations, inspections & permits. That's before Biden's administration added more taxes on imports of everything & anything relating to it. Land of the Free, Home of the Brave ... 😂😂😂 Go ask Nanny first ... 😎
  12. Has everything to do with the topic... ...it's a silly poll. Good thing ... Maybe next time someone's pushing something they say is safe and effective and you need or must take it ... they'll think next time.
  13. Me simply waking up, and hanging around a few more years, after a minor health scare last year at this time. The simple things... life itself 😎
  14. I can say the same about most things over a 3 yr period. ... Died of old age ... Has cancer ... Is an Alky/druggy ... Chain smoker ... One of Alphabet folks ... Cis male/female ... Rich/poor ... Bought an EV, truck,MB ... Died of few things, not COVID Chance of dying from ... least of my concerns...IMHO
  15. Putting it in print, or actually seeing & hearing it ... ... which is more believable ? I don't believe or trust most things I read, especially when from 'source stated' ... 😂 Kind of eliminates people asking for a link, or source, and of course, has to be one of their bias MSM entertainment sources. Or worse, they didn't look at the link ... vids are hard to ignore, especially short ones.
  16. Same down here/PKK, as all new meters (inclusive, 14 month on) seem to be digital. One builder, having new houses nearby, about 15, this past year, and all have new digital meters.
  17. Nah ... Rainy season knocks it down, and makes things too wet to burn. Less cool temps let the hot smoky air dissipate to higher altitudes. We only get a couple months of bad air down here/PKK. More coconut & pineapple farms, than sugar & rice, so less burning to maintain. Pineapples alone take 2 yrs to yield fruit. Along with, very thin, long province 10-15 kms wide, with hills to the west/Myanmar border, and Gulf eastward. We get a break in that aspect. As things widen up, northward, it gets much worse. Hua Hin (1 hr North) usually much worse than us. Then as you go Northward, it just gets horrendous, for about 6 months, (Nov-June), as the news-blip points out. Till rainy season starts again, end of May.
  18. I usually only do COD, as I don't want them leaving anything on the doorstep when I'm not here. We're O&A locally too much. If not home, I'll pick up & pay next day their office.
  19. IF just knocking around town, my unnecessary morning cruise to the park & surf, with numbers of total after return home, and a bit faster driving. To; 10.7kWh per 100 kms = 432 kms per charge Total: 11.7kWh per 100 kms = 395 kms per charge. NEDC rating: 403 kms per charge WLTP rating: 320 kms per charge To park & surf: Total morning cruise: We really don't need a car, but IF we did that everyday, <5500 kms a year. Along that route, I pass Makro, 7-11, PEA/PWA, BBL & Post Office, Along wth morning fresh market, coffee shops & restaurants. Too lazy to uncover the MB this morning, as my usual transport for morning cruise. When exploring locally, a bit more mixed driving, and on Hwy #4 (Phetkasem Rd) @ 90 kph, and side roads @ ~60 kph, we get 360 kms per charge. On straight hwy driving, @ 90 kph, averaging 80 kph at end of the day, we get about 300-320 kms per charge. Usually topping up after 3-3.5 hr/250-275 kms.
  20. Air too unhealthy for students to exercise in, or be outside for long periods of time. What's wrong with that picture ... 🤣 " .. a city-wide shutdown may be imposed until safe conditions are restored" When's that ... next May ... 🤣
  21. The same WH that doesn't want a cease fire now ... 😂 Why stop the killing, where's the fun in that 😎 "23 hours ago — The White House has refused to call for a cease-fire but has signaled that the Israelis should consider humanitarian pauses to allow civilians to receive aid and for foreign nationals trapped on the strip to leave Gaza" continue the war
