  1. Sit corrected ... but ... I know which one I would choose: Yaris 94 hp (69 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 110 Nm (81 lb-ft) of torque at 4,400 rpm Neta V 95 hp and torque of 150 Nm ... almost instant Would only buy ICEV if couldn't charge at home ... maybe. Plug in/out, all of 30 secs vs 10 minutes at petrol station. If I shopped at Lotus's, then still get the EV.
  2. Yes, I have. And that's why I send multiple copies now. Just sent 3rd one yesterday. Actually cheaper to send 3 slow mail, than 1 registered. 2nd notice was for Mar/Apr 2021/2022's mailing, received Oct 2022. Returned Oct 2022 and no interruption or 3rd notice/cancellation notice. Was taking with IRS, (they called me), and got on the subject of Soc Sec NOT receiving 7162, and the gal advised me, they/SS are aware of the Wilkes Barre problem. So something going on there, beyond staffing.
  3. What an A$$ ... the 2nd guy's reaction ... nuff said Not like there was an emergency or anything needed to be done. Enough people standing around already, one taking photos or vid.
  4. Definitely ... and it's ฿600k if wanting AT. If going for top end Yaris ... it's shy of ฿700k A few baht more gets you in a MG4, IF you want performance, along with never having to buy petrol again, or those oil changes & tune-ups
  5. China Rocks ... saves us ฿3-10k a month, depending if at home or O&A, with added plus of driving a better performing vehicle. Our Honda Wave sat in the driveway, drove it to put air and petrol in it I actually enjoy driving the E-MB Lotus's now having CSs, makes killing 30-45 mins easy. I don't think I'd ever need to get anywhere as far and as fast as possible, not to pop into a CS for 30 mins after 3+ hrs on Thai roads. Hard the make 100 kms/1 hr before the wife has to P or is hungry sometimes. Healthy also, as avoids deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and can never be too careful.
  6. Scratched my idea of going Gulf east side this week, then thought about Phuket. Until saw the hotel prices 3-4X what they were a few months ago. Where o where to go Not asking for suggestion, just thinking out loud. Keep it on topic. Pollution (on topic) definitely affects our O&As. No sense going somewhere for the lovely view, when you can't see 'em.
  7. "Israel-Hamas war live: 184 Palestinians killed since truce ended on Friday morning" Does anyone actually believe less than 1 person was killed per bomb?
  8. ..... 'Israel launched more than 200 strikes across the Gaza Strip on Friday, including in the densely populated south, where many civilians have fled. Khan Younis, which was previously attacked less heavily than the north of Gaza, was almost bombed from the air immediately after the truce broke down".... For those that need a visual aid, the yellow line is 41 kms. Gaza Strip is 41 X 10 X 13 kms Gaza Strip overlaid next to Pattaya Overlay next to London, UK London pop density 5,598/km2 Gaza pop density 6,507/km2
  9. RU is actually the only place I have an interest in explore, if I ever went international for a holiday.
  10. I hope so, people would save a lot of money IMHO
  11. @Baht Simpson Check that it's still there
  12. I looked at 3 recipes, and was skeptical, as none turned them. Also 7 minutes and didn't get a crust, so think I need to jack up the temp to 200C, but, internal temp was already 150F+ Think I'll stick with the cast iron for salmon, nice crust and a lot faster. 8 minutes is way too long for me. Pan is like 2 minutes a side.
  13. If you got a convection oven already, that gets hot & has fans, you might want to hold off on buying. Don't regret buying it, but not seeing an advantage yet. Only tried a few things; ... bread OK, but small loaf ... does not do salmon well ... reheated spicy wings quite nicely ... did a very nice crispy pork 👍 ... only had it couple days I bought one from Central Online 990 baht, and quite nice (4.5L), electronic, 200°C top temp. Same model/price on LAZ & Shopee. Really isn't much I can't do in our larger convection oven w/powerful fans (actually labeled 'air fryer' also) or my cast iron pan set. New AF is a bit redundant for us (retired toaster over, for counter space). Great for condo living, and saving electric, since compact vs the 56L oven. Got solar, so no benefit for us. 'Pro Home Cooks" on YT has a few good vids for using AF. Where I got the crispy pork idea.
  14. I wrote a follow up post, as obviously a few misunderstood my 1st, but either it got deleted, or I didn't hit submit or had an oops when I did, and didn't notice. Can't be bothered to type it again. Forum members should be happy they don't live in RU.
  15. Agree, though I'm a bit too old to wait, and really happy with what we bought/ZS. Really like what's available now, though only the Atto 3 would interest me. Really like them. Like the SIVs, especially the small ones. Me & sedans don't get along any more. Wife won't go back either. Along with no desire to spend >1M for any 4 wheels. As nice as they are, don't think we would spring for anything new coming to market. Love the options & competition presented though.
  16. They are, all men & women are, not matter what gender you want to call yourself. Marriage is not a human right. Frankly, they should count their blessings I wish I wasn't allowed to marry a few of my past partners.
  17. Another survey, totally irrelevant to TH
  18. @Espanol both are easy, both are same price. Different financial requirement, which may matter to some. Retirement easier, less paperwork, instantly approved. Marriage takes 30 days for approval. I prefer and do retirement & extensions now.
  19. I'm waiting for my helping Elves to pop over and assist ...
  20. OP ... always check the AQI/PM2.5 before heading out. We headed over to Chanthaburi next week, I think, and getting a bit of rain now, so hopefully not too bad after the weekend.
  21. Here's a different meter reading for HH ... YIKES PM2.5 is > 2X the previous one posted source Chumphon .... better
  22. Unless OP & family enjoy breathing moderate to unhealthy air, the safer bet would be head South, and below Hua Hun, possibly below us at PKK, and best Chumphon and points beyond. My experience anyway. And the AQI rating isn't the most concerning, as if in the moderate to unhealthy range, then the PM2.5 is usually anywhere between 3 to 10X+ healthy limits. Present Hua Hin reading @ 1400 hrs, and it's only Dec 1st
  23. Just re-read what I posted, and can't see how that got misunderstood. As with all social issues, that is the right of the locals to decide what they want. Same as TH or USA. Free expression is the right to say or do, what ever you please, within the law. By entitled, I'm referring to men using woman's restrooms, insisting on the meaning of words to be change, and all must use, whether agreeing or not to their meaning. Having genders taught in school, to young children against parents wishes. School is for the 3 R's, sciences, not family social issues. Forcing business to provide separate restrooms, or allow men or ladies to use the one not aligned with their birth sex. Forced pronoun use, redefined and confusing as hell. There are 2 sexes; male & female. Genders, that's up to you, and anything you want to call yourself, but don't force everyone to conform to your lifestyle. In my world there's 3, heterosexual, bisexual & homosexual ... pick one. Feel free to call yourself something else, just don't expect me to agree with you.
  24. As long as he apologies for trying to set a fire on a flight, and putting everyone life in jeopardy, then all forgiven. Until next time, he may actually succeed and crash a flight, hopefully Lufthansa, and any survivors sue the sh!t out of them. No wonder all these silly incidents on aircrafts are on the rise, as no consequence for bad behavior any more.
