When you are one of the most populated countries in the world, your nutters will hit the news more often, especially on a forum with an anti Yank membership ... IMHO Not saying AN fits that description, but simply in general ... IMHO

Don't beat around the bush, just say "it's Trump's fault" Unless Mommy & Daddy didn't buy him a phone/laptop until the 2016 election cycle, then it would just be a coincidence ... ????

Let's put those numbers into context. As they skyrocket after age 15-18. Hmm ... maybe a few gang bangers in that bracket. In the eyes of most courts, would probably be tried as adults if caught committing said homicide. But hey ... what ever works for the spin. didn't bother searching for 2021 #s, but would think they are about the same: https://www.kidsdata.org/topic/659/death-rate-age-cause/table#fmt=2318&loc=1,2&tf=122&ch=1307,1309,446,1308,530,531,533,532,975,534,529

Killing, shooting a 66 yr old lady, immediately puts you in the 'unstable' category with me, unless it was self defense, and highly unlikely. His motive, if actually reading the thread, was being of anti alphabet folks mentality, from his social media postings, supposedly. Don't need to wait for investigation, as know enough, and it's all mute, they're both dead. No matter what, the end results isn't go to change. Just the divisive conversations. With that ... Have a Nice Day.

There's a time & place for everything. At a beach or holiday type location, then do as you please. But in a metro area, as implied with photos in OP, probably not. Thinking back, I've never went topless if strolling around Philly, no matter how brutally hot it was. Around my urban home town (suburbia Philly), yes, or just a shirt unbuttoned was more like it, just as I do here quite a bit, if not trying to avoid the sun, which has been my thing lately, where we live now/PKK. Of late if sun's out, it's been long sleeves & pants, on the scooter and walking around, as I was looking a bit too much like a chocolate person.

That's a reverse scenario of you 'shouldn't confront people you don't know.' If watching the vid till the end, states the 'flag waver' had a legal concealed weapon on him, but didn't think the need to use, and pepper spray was enough to keep the aggressor away.

I could have done without the first 3 marriages. Instead of living like there will be no tomorrow, started investing earlier, though it was fun not being too concerned about the future. But if I did crap out early, then that would of sucked and missed out on a lot of fun. So it worked out anyway. Aside from that, don't think I'd change much at all. Mainly less salaried jobs, and more self employment, for earlier retirement.

Nope, natural weather phenomena have been happening for centuries. That people still built and live in areas affected by them is a head scratcher. You can't fix stupid.

MG isn't, didn't cut their price, though also didn't raise their price when upgrading the 2022 vs 2020 ZS. Did offer a large chunk of their govt incentive to customers for the ZS & EP. Rolled that back a bit for the ES & MG4, and that spiffy A$$ van. And I don't live in CH or UK, so any happenings in other countries are a bit irrelevant.

Topic: "EV sales in Thailand...." ... UK irrelevant to the conversation

Apples & oranges. Using common sense has kept me alive, and know what fights you can win, and which you should avoid. A 66 yr old woman, confronting an obviously violent 27 yr old ... nuff said

Do I care ... ... not really, as don't believe GW is a threat to humans within the next 200-500 yrs, if ever. Me & mine will be long gone be then. The idiots that remain may have solved it by then ... or not. Am I doing everything I can to prevent or add to it GW ... ... NO, as I enjoy my AC, and O&As using the facilities that don't have solar. Not that I think anything needs to be done. Am I doing more than most to prevent or add to GW ... ... definitely, by being off grid with solar and driving EVs exclusively. What are you doing ? ... still driving ICEVs ? ... do you have solar, or alternative, or still rely exclusively on the grid ? ... still flying in jet, locally or internationally ? ,,, using ICEV public transportation ? ... still voting for the same type of idiots to make the world a better place, and actually think anything will change doing so ? Hypocrisy - the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform.

That ฿240k incentive was a pretty good damn reason for us, and no, I wouldn't own a Tesla. They're not the only BEV out there.

30-80% more, though we're usually not done what ever we're doing, and most times, it tops up completely, another 15ish minutes. That extra 50% or more, depends on the vehicle and your driving. We've yet to need more than one top up to get anywhere, in the 500 kms range. On the highway, driving w/cruise control on, set @ 90kph & AC on, we average about 80 kph at end of trip, and we get about 320 kms per full charge. I rarely drive 500 kms in one day. At an average of 80 kph ... 6+ hrs ... NO THANKS, without the break.

What I think is completely irrelevant, as I control nothing, but my life. That the world hasn't gone solar, where possible, and is still controlled by fossil fuel corporations, sucking ever bit of profit out of the people, no matter what the effect to the climate is, is the problem. Apparently most don't care enough, so why should I care about them. Plenty of solutions, that should have been instituted decades ago. Still not being used today. I've done all I can willingly, realistically do, the rest is up to everyone else. You are either part of the solution, or the problem. Hypocrisy - the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform.

Maybe a 30 ish minute break, to P, stretch, get a coffee/bev and or snack for @impulse while driver 500 kms at a time is too much of a hassle. Then I guess an EV isn't for him. It's welcome break for us after 3 ish hrs on Thai roads.

Yes, why the edit, and just realized, that was actually your link ????

Aren't all pillows 'acid reflux' pillows, if stacked up and raising your head/upper body above digestive system. May be better to find out the cause, instead of treating the symptoms. Possibly a 'hiatal hernia', and easy to fix if once diagnosed. If you eliminated your food & drink, along with stress as the cause.

And what relevance does that have to my reply, except maybe to enforce my thought, they are not staffed to handle misdemeanors, and didn't take action till a murder was committed. Wee bit late, don't you think ? In my experience, police aren't there to prevent crime, simply to take a record of it after the fact.

I thought it was just over 9% From your earlier link: "Total 36,860 vehicles accounted for 9.21% of the 400,042 registered Ror.Yor.1 cars nationwide" Though figure possibly just for a certain time frame. To fit whatever spins they are on about.

I consider the warming climate change a good thing, in the long run. We can manage and live in a warmer climate .... ... not so sure of humans success in the next ice age. cooler or warmer ... hmm

Not to victim blame, and R I P, but to confront someone, vandalizing her flag, when it seems to be an ongoing thing, wasn't her best use of common sense. That why you pay taxes & have police. Hopefully since as you say, predominantly Dem area, they weren't defunded to the point of being short staffed to handle all calls.

As stated many times, but feel free to keep repeating that little tidbit of common sense. EV's aren't for everyone

I've yet to Q up, and I've been O&A on weekends. If I thought the need, I'd just reserve a time slot to charge, and have yet the need to do that. Thanks for pointing out the weekly Q'ing up at petrol stations to keep your ICEV running. I simply park at home, plug in (all of 15 seconds), and it's 'free' w/excess solar, or 1/4 th the price of 91 per kms, if using grid, instead of waiting weekly for that 39.5 baht & rising per liter of 91 from days past. And yet, when O&A, the very few time most actually go O&A, with the need to use CS, the ICEV owners view that as a huge hassle, but not the weekly petrol stop ... hmm. A bit selective, don't you think.

As soon as you present evidence that the gun was legally obtained. We all know every shooting death is Trump's fault. I stumped my toe the other day, and all I could think of was ... 'damn you Trump' No need to, as I found the information, IT WAS NOT registered to the suspected killer: "Further revelations include that the gun used in the murder was a Smith & Wesson 9mm semi-automatic pistol, which was not registered to the suspect. Additionally, it was noted that Ikeguchi’s family had reported him as missing the day before the tragic incident occurred." Now, will the owner of the weapon be prosecuted, or will this be simply a continuation of failed enforcement of gun laws already in place. But hey, let's add some more, so people can't defend themselves against nutters and or bigots. Imagine the outcome if she/victim was trained and possessed a firearm. Just a thought.
