If the inflation on the chart is correct, not, then how come we got a COLA of 3.2%, for 2024 when that, the COLA is calculated with prices from July to September. Where the chart shows a high of only 2.5% They just pull the #s out of any orifice they please Really ... it's raining, disregard it yellow

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Win win for both, though a wild guess, Toyota gets to invest 50%, and get to add their name to BYD's R&D, as Toyota so far behind, what could the actually contribute, besides JPY ... IMHO That's what Detroit did with JP auto makers decades ago.

People simply waking up to no longer falling for the old legacy car makers, riding on their old, false, quality & dependability reputation. That reputation use to ring true with original made in USA or EU crap. But not any longer. JP had their run, and failed to move forward with new technology. Toyota has been promising every year with something new on the horizon ... and yet, still using BYD batteries in the BEVs & Hybrids When people do their research, and have a choice, they usually choose wisely. Don't need to go to the dealer, just pick your choices, look at the specs, the price, and cost to operate & maintain. Just open your eyes. If in TH, the choices are fairly obvious, once your prejudice is set aside.

They may help some of you eat healthier ...

I know the EV & CH haters wont watch, so I copied the key take away for you. Toyota sales are down 5%. Although up in USA & EU .... BUT ... where & when people have a choice, their sales drop considerably Transcribed from ....

That's what MSM wants you to believe. Everyone I know still gets along with everyone, no matter their thinking. Whether leaning left or right. And the ignorant buy it, hook, line & sinker. Y'all need to stop watching TV, news, reading on the internet, and actually talk to people. If you even know any Yanks. If in the USA, you might find people are more vocal about their favorite sports team, well, those that actually watch it any more. Take a knee turned most people I know off, left & right leaning, white or milk/dark chocolate

As stated ...

Just in time for the election & COLA to govt programs ... go figure.

Very nice 👍

shh... you'll scare the tourist away... ... this is probably not a photo of a shark I saw off Phuket/Phi Phi @ Shark Point One whole wimpy A$$ shark at a place called 'Shark Point' .. world class diving

Actually it does, especially just after a meal. Doesn't have to be anything intense or long, Helps with digestion and insulin resistance. This guy has proved it with his CGM. Love his content 👍 Just staying active after a munch surely helps, not matter what you're doing. All common sense really, whether insulin resistance or weight control ...

Regular drinking alcohol as a teenager and beyond linked to death. I know more people that died from their relationship with alcohol than anything else. Most didn't make 25 yrs old.

I think I'd stick with ... ... MG, no surprise there ... BYD ... GWM ... NETA Practical & affordable, with plenty of models to chose from. Sure to be around for at least the next 10 yrs, if not forever. Established or establishing a good network. Tesla, if wanting that name thingy, at a price.

Why open ... ... because you're an alky, and want cheaper alcohol ... because nobody that actually knows you, wants to drink with you ... you think your female staff will have sex with you, since you control their income ... and lastly ...

I just completed this quiz. My Score 57/100 My Time 159 seconds  

OP too long to read ... Title reads like deal w/Israel. Was Hamas invited or is it a 'take or else deal' All a bit irrelevant, as in less than a year, they accuse each other of ignoring & violating any deals. History does repeat itself ... decades of 'rinse & repeat'

Great feeling, isn't it ... INDEPENDENCE 😎 .... priceless 👍

"President Joe Biden has approved revisions to a classified nuclear strategy document" ... shouldn't all these headlines say "Pres. Biden's handlers approved .... "

"Americans are still completely ignorant and resistant to change." 👍 With import tax & tariffs to keep CH BEV price high. And the MSM anti CH spin being as strong as ever. Big Oil still rules the USA. Big 3 never could compete with Asian auto makers, so invested in them

Yes, plenty of surf & sand if just looking. North of the popular one, and vendors nearby. Anywhere north of Bang Tao beach. Been to most of them, very nice. Having transport helps, and or staying nearby. Swim at you own risk though, if going in. Can even do some plane spotting ... ... and yes, even Phuket has a bit of a smog problem in February, when photo was taken. That is not a moisture haze. That hill in background should be crystal clear.

Where are you coming from ? Phuket and or Phi Phi a much better option over the Gulf ... ... season dependent of course. I dove both Sept/Oct, and vis was nice. A little shy of fish, and that was 1999/2000. Phuket is all day affair, PP was better. Actually Phuket was deeper than open water, (I think), so might want to stick with PP, as nice, close shallow dives. If in the Americas, then get certified there. S FL, Keys, Caribbean.

Been there, done that ... who doesn't enjoy a nice overnight.

Thailand flooding Seems things I've posted about TH, news got deleted, so don''t bother Everyone else seems interested in Trump, harris, Mpox and crossdressing men.

Just add to everything else they've stolen from Americans .... IMHO
