Impossible not to. Love plastic bags, as cutting down trees for paper bags is about as un 'eco' as can be. Use cloth or larger synthetic bags when shopping, as Makro doesn't bag. Plastic is not the demon, people's disposal of is. Plastic containers are practical, though use mostly glass now if practical. There is no need for ICE, for personal use, or fossil fuel for personal transport or home heating, electric production, if alternatives are used. EVs eliminate huge part of oil use, production, pollution. Don't bother with the oil company studies stating how everything about an EV is un eco friendly produced. NO, you're not going to eliminate petrochemicals products, didn't imply you could or should. Maybe in the distant future, but doubtful. Just as you're not going to eliminate use of batteries, lithium, electronics, chips, China produced anything & everything for transportation & household, daily living. Nobody's implying that either, except ignorant anti-China idiots. Simply stated, you can continue giving your hard earned money to petrol companies, or choose an alterative, that you don't get scammed for. Their price gouging is nothing but a scam. That was pretty obvious ever since the 1970s oil shortage BS. they seem to have a silly excuse every year or so to increase prices & profits. Except now, there are practical, affordable, mass produced autos & scooters, and energy sources as an alternative, so you don't need to fall for their BS anymore. Choice is yours. Fill their pocket and add to their billions in profits with your money, or keep your money in your pocket. I simply chose the latter. UP2U

May want to simply contact the UK embassy and ask them. Would something as simple as a POA concerning control of your remains be enough for your partner to make and authorized decisions. I tend to ask the people who will make the decision, what the want.

Maybe she had no license or helmet, just really good insurance coverage ???? One thing she definitely had, was bad luck when she bounced off the scooter.

Amazing AN posters. <deleted>, she had a bad bounce on a window, she didn't knock the house down and the occupants aren't homeless ... ???? I actually hit a house once on a 350cc, thankfully it wasn't through their living room bay window. NO, wasn't drunk, just stupid.

And some scientist state 'no amount of alcohol is safe' ... ????

So 1 gr on large serving of pepperoni pizza (2 slices), would be about the same as smoking a 1 gr doobie, just take a bit longer to kick in. Within the hour, washed down with a 490ml Snowy, of course. Maybe 1 slice, kick in faster. Wish they'd start making Kopper again.

THANKS for asking, since don't follow this forum, just the last reply. Didn't know what 'decarb' was, since not doing edibles, and rather interesting. So anyone making tea, just buds & water, isn't really getting much from it, and a waste of good buds, unless using 'decarb'd' buds , as 100C/212F really isn't enough to release/convert THC. https://homesteadandchill.com/how-to-decarboxylate-cannabis/#:~:text=Experts say that approximately 230,noted in the chart below. Singing to the choir, but thought an interesting read.

Or possibly just the ebook (or audio) being available, as that, (something) is on x1337

The scooter looked in excellent condition, for being in an accident. Maybe he just had a bad bounce in the wrong direction, as "Crushed at the real wheel of a Hino truck trailer" usually doesn't end well. I've fallen over just hopping off my scooter after parking, thankfully not into traffic, and not drunk. Nothing hurt but my pride ... good, nobody saw me this time. Not to self: remember to put kickstand down before dismount.

IF reading the news-blip, most wouldn't need to reply and sound silly, to be kind. She did nothing wrong, aside from the accident, and they are called accidents for a reason, which we have no real details of. Why it's even news worthy is a question. Hope we don't have threads for the other 10s of thousand accidents that are a big nothing.

.... and ?

ICE vs EV ... pretty simply actually. Continue to let them steal you money, or do something about it: https://www.forbes.com/sites/roberthart/2023/02/07/bp-boasts-record-profits-as-oil-giants-report-historic-windfalls/?sh=6617d57f26a8 "BP Boasts Record Profits As Oil Giants Report Historic Windfalls"

As long as he does 30, that will probably be a life sentence, at 48 now. Shame death sentence wasn't an option, save the tax payer some money. Along with a few new inmates getting raped by him. Maybe a fellow inmate will do the right thing, and save the govt some money. One can only hope.

Yep, that entry level drug, I remember it well, but it's the only thing my parents had it the liquor closet. Thankfully got off the alcohol as soon as possible, as caused a few issues I would have preferred to avoid back then. Thankfully weed didn't cause any of those.

Pretty much it, along with getting off the couch, and at least just walk around every now & than ... like daily. Walk to the 7-11 that's 100 or more meters away instead of driving to. Maybe walk up those 2 flights of steps, instead of waiting for the crowded elevator. If you're not going to burn it off don't eat it. My weight as fluctuated from 73 to 100 kgs, and intermittent fasting, the past 5 years, has made it easy to maintain 80 kgs +/-, with very little dieting effort. Simply eating almost healthy & moderation. Still eat mostly whatever I want, within reason.

Don't see it on IMDB or usual suspects for DL

Poutine .. sounds like a great way to ruin an order of fries. Pizza cake name alone deserves .. W T F Not a fan of the 'fish soup', and how do you compare that to a kimchi anything. People need to stop reading krap and just eat what they like.

Dealer pricing looking competitive ... ????

Check that, speed reading, only notice the 2nd page entry, now see they are replacing quite a bit. That does make sense now. 670 sounded way too cheap ... ???? Ouch

Certainly can't beat the Thai pricing, why I asked if just a 'bushing' / rubber part needing replacing, as sounds a bit inexpensive. If they even come as separate pieces, tie rod (steel) & rubber bushing. Usually when tie rods are out of whack, you'll notice vehicle pulling to one side, or slight vibration in steering wheel at speed, or just uneven tire wear. Does need to get replaces though.

your last photo, looks to be a bit worn, overly compressed, and mid photo, a bit dry rotted. 11 yrs, don't last forever. Photo of a new for a Triton 4WD: From Ebay, but ballpark idea of the part: https://www.google.com/search?q=triton+tie+rod+end&newwindow=1&sxsrf=AJOqlzWds35P0pWyYuhQPSBkZg5CFaNccA:1675760011683&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj3l-bBhIP9AhU5TmwGHS7VD_4Q_AUoAnoECAEQBA&biw=1229&bih=577&dpr=1.56#imgrc=liMcAog29MH31M

No, that's not normal maintenance, or I wouldn't think so. But if out of whack, then yes, should be corrected. Must not be too out of whack, or they'd suggest replacing ASAP. Do you know if it's the actually tie rod, or the bushings ? End ? Gtranslate ... "set of ball joints, bow ends, right" ... suspect it's the rubber bushing and wearing out, or not, but yes, do replace... ... ball park idea of what it is, though probably different for different vehicles, just basic steering diagram: https://stirlingautoparts.com/blog/when-does-the-tie-rod-end-need-to-be-replaced/ I had to replace one once, after a horrendous crash ... .... Oh wait, that was one of my RCs ... ????

Money left out could easily be assumed to be a tip. Though I would think, left on the pillow would indicated it is actually a tip, and just not forgotten in the room. Never tip, so don't know the 'protocol'. If so, I'd give it directly to the person providing the service, as I do at restaurant, when I do tip, and then leave something with the bill for the rest of the staff. The gal that doesn't let my beer go empty, and refills with another frosted glass ... yea, she's getting a tip ????

If he was worthy HiSo, he wouldn't have to ask, they'd find him ???? Grown men asking where to find woman ... nuff said

Can't even buy 1/2 rai of surfside land here for that. Want 20 mill for 100tw.
