  1. Spot on ... and a case of som nam na Live with your choice, if you chose to vote ... USA ... Love It or Leave It ... ... I left
  2. Nothing in a knot, just an observation, as I don't care who owns a business or their clientele, as stated, I did test out the restaurant no matter. And in TH, I find it hard to believe, unless in the South, that anyone would be hostile or discriminatory toward the alphabet folks. Unless overly flamboyant, how the hell would they know. Well ... Except maybe for the Atlanta hotel in BKK, if still in operation. And who cares if it's a woman owning, male, or other Especially since the 'owner' may never be there. There were 2 women, playing customer service, and the chef is supposed to be a male, so again, 'info I don't need'. More importantly, were the OMG reviews, that were way off. Even taking them with a huge grain of salt, I was disappointed. They have labels in the USA, for chicken, no antibodies, which, it's illegal to sell chicken in the USA, with antibodies still in the birds system to begin with. So just silly marketing. Now offering Piranha beef, with no sugar added ... get the drift. Silly info, nobody needs or worse, not even applicable to the product.
  3. Posted above, it was 14.2 & 3 more than a few times. Thought the fluctuation range was a bit strange, as up & down from 11v-14v quite a bit over a 2 minute stretch before it reset and warning disappeared. One guy on the MG forum replaced his with a lithium, only 50Ah, though since no cranking involved, shouldn't be that much of an issue, but did have to do a bit of modifying, as couple cm taller, and less length, along with terminals smaller on the one he used. No desire to do that, along with any warranty issues it may violate.
  4. We were getting the '12v fault warning', and watching the gauge monitoring it, and it was fuctuating between 11v & 14.1, and occasionally dippin below 11v, down to 10.2v. Fault warning came on more than a few times while driving home. Have appt at MG tomorrow, check make sure it's the battery and not the charging 'module'. Only 21 months old, though batteries from dealers and in TH in general, do seem to be low quality. Surprised how many needed replacement on past Toyotas & Mazda. MG ZS ICE (2020) had 2 yrs / 40k kms on it when sold, and battery going strong. Actually the same battery in the EV version, I think.
  5. More asparagus ready, so guess that's one of the sides this evening with the pork roast
  6. This is for the MG ZS, as may need to replace. 63Ah is in it now. Seeing lead acid GS brand (LN2-DIN65 DL EFB) for <฿3k online. No local dealer, and would prefer to upgrade to a lithium.
  7. Anyone replace their 12v lead acid battery with a lithium one yet ? Where did you source the battery ? TIA
  8. Ignorance of people, not realizing humans are evil, and can't be trusted. Once realized, life is easy, and it's a wonderful world. Make & enjoy your life anyway you please.
  9. Received our TOT bill after the payment due date the other day. That's a first, which also means me can't pay with bank transfer. Usually mail delivery, what very little there is, (TOT & 1 CC bill) is excellent.
  10. I'll need some time to think about this topic ... I'll get back to y'all
  11. If 3 or 5kW system installed specifically for the EV, and home during the day, ROI would be <1-2 yrs if driving 20k kms locally. That would save 54k baht per year, and petrol (91) is now more expensive than when I did those calculations. Comparing cost of MG ZS ICE vs BEV, which I owned/own both. That's our potential saving charging the ZS at home on solar, if only driving locally. ROI isn't even considering the savings off the house use of electric from PEA/MEA. Just another uninformed post from an uninformed member. Why do they bother ... Our 8kWh system with 20kWh of ESS will have a ROI from <4 years to 6 years, depending how much we abuse the AC and drive unnecessarily. Are system wasn't exactly inexpensive, or DIY. Real life experiences vs BS
  12. He wasn't charged, convicted or sentence for any hand gesture, as freedom of expression is still legal in USA. Title of thread should be changed as very misleading. Seems the usual tactic with OP ... IMHO
  13. Exactly ... finally someone gets it, hence title of thread.
  14. Still don't know who she is ... oh well
  15. Seems a bit low, but nothing to concern yourself about, obviously. So you are what ... ... complaining about being healthy, having good blood pressure, since being a bit overweight. 80 kgs isn't exactly obese, unless you're only 150cm tall.
  16. To the title ... don't care about all the world atrocities. Don't know or care about anyone involved. If I started thinking about all the bad crap in the world, it would be a depressing place and one would never be able to enjoy one's self or fall asleep. I just accept humans are evil, and it's normal, and nobody seems to care. Just love to talk about how it affect them. Wave a flag, send your prayers and offer your imaginary helpful solution or express your sorrow and how you stand by them ... If your not sending money or physically joining the fight ... your not helping at all
  17. Now Google Map listings (hotels & restaurants) may include this and other silliness ... Just imagine if it was ... ... straight friendly ... white friendly ... black friendly The outrage that would follow ... Not sure if I should be embarrassed, offended, outraged, or boycott an establishment that states such silliness. Did visit and test the restaurant I pulled that off their listing. And the OMG reviews were way off, and a disappointing meal, especially for cost. 3 course meal and still left hungry ... sad.
  18. That's apples & oranges. I don't know how you guys deal with the pollution. I'm outside too much. When the vis is down to a few kms, if that, or 1/2 km, there's major problem. When the air smells of smoke, and you or your neighbors are burning trash, there's a problem. Even Udon Thani was bad. Had some hill ridges (4) behind the house there. Crystal clear from 2nd floor, during rainy season, but during smog season, you'd never know they are there. I've revisited places during rainy season, after the kid was done school, as long breaks were March, April & mid May. When visiting again, it's like, damn, beautiful ... I didn't know there was mountain views here That's some eye opening sh!t That kind of ignorance in not bliss.
  19. I agree, but, if your next test is off the chart, to your baseline, then a good heads up, especially if not showing any symptoms. I think PSA is probably the most unreliable, unless already under care for cancer. As so much can influence it. I've always been lower end normal, till older. Then higher end, as prostate grew. Then like double, but, prostate also twice as large, and probably had sex within 36 hrs of the test. Ultrasound showed nothing abnormal. Why I always suggest full abdominal ultrasound to be included when people ask about check ups, as will find things, and help them realize, it's not just a bit of visceral fat/love handles you see, but a fatty liver for example, which probably means other organs may have a bit extra that they could do without. All the alphabet test are fine, but as stated, good marketing, as 3-4-5 more test and you think you're getting your money's worth. Not a problem here, as so inexpensive, and they got the blood anyway, but elsewhere, just pads the bill, and an expensive one at that. Pictures tell a much better story. Ultrasound or CT Scan, (full abdominal) which I had done recently, just for the hell of it, and piece of mind Showed I'm a bit healthier than I thought (fatty liver gone). My GP is a nephrologist, so reassuring also. Hopefully a wake up call for some, to unplug, and maybe take a walk, and not to the bar stool. Takes a major lifestyle change, as our body can't handle what it use to, when we were active. 30 to 40 years of body abuse was enough, I gave my body break about 15 yrs old. Easy since not really addicted to anything (cigs/alcohol), except pastry.
  20. Now y'all have a baseline for your cancer markers, a good thing for next check up to compare to. As suggested, a colonoscopy is a good thing to have done.
  21. I did BKK - CM & BKK - Phuket ... both time flew back I think CM was last time I did bus. Pre car owning (2001-2003) ... never again.
  22. All understandable, and TBH, if I had rental property, it would be 'no pets' Pet owners are some of the worst here. Wife just gave the dog a bath, as we're O&A tomorrow. We travel with top bed cover (& broom), rarely use GH linen/blanket, unless low temps, and wife leaves the room as clean, or cleaner when we leave. Our dog won't bark, unless someone at the door, but never continuous (verified) as others. Unless we're actually walking around town, we'll take her with us anyway, and she hangs out in the car if we're munching. Also not a chewer. Worst situation, if we did an planning oops and needed to stay where she wasn't welcome, I'd just leave her in the car, w/AC on all night. Doesn't use much battery.
