Inverter & panels working a bit more than before. Now outside temp is 30+, so ACs not just coasting to maintain a comfy temp. Think we hit 34C today, as this was about 1630 hrs. Actually have to do something. Before they drew about 1/2kWh, now pulling almost 2kWh, most from the 24kBTU, as bedroom (13k) is freezing. Add 2.3kWh for the car, and doubt if 5kWh system could handle the house load without grid assistance. Shower is 3.5kWh and ovens+ 2.2kWh - 1.5kWh. So need to pay attention before using too much, when car is plugged in. Clear skies, so pulling in shy of 8kWh, this morning, just before batteries topped up. Nice blue skies, and think the pollution has been over for us, since last week's rain ???? Installation was in August, nothing but overcast & rain, longer season than usual, then right into cool season. Only 12-15-18kWh a day for a few months, and only broke 20kWh a day, Dec, Jan, Feb. Should be about the same this month. A good part of Dec, Jan, Feb was car use. Some local exploring. Not so much March, just everyday home use. Looks like the car just now finished. So far produced 41kWh today, and exceeds yesterday's 35kWh day.

Yes, did the sky diving & parasailing in the states. Bungee, OK over water here, as vid show, unless 'unhooked' at the top, you're not hitting the water hard. Shark diving (no cage) was quality outfit in the Bahamas, well researched & reputation. My driving as a youngin' was more dangerous in reality, and amazing I didn't kill myself, and thankfully never hurt anyone. Zip Lining never interest me, but more than a few horror stories about Thai operations. That takes, needs way too much maintenance. If I was a bit younger, or bounced a bit better, might give paragliding or lite aircraft a try. But prefer to finish my years, wheelchair free.

What's the point if you think I'm a liar and why would I continue, waste my time on a conversation with some who does. This or any conversation in the future.

Easy to find quality, fair price food, just a better chance of, if not in an overpriced, watering down for tourist's palate area.

Who doesn't like a good impalement after a good malfunction. Now that's just stupid, even I wouldn't do that. Rather swim with sharks, as they're a bit more predictable:

You only live once ... well, some people

Again ... ???? ... if I saw that, I wouldn't have a clue what that meant, along with most people here. Actually I'd think the printer got the colors wrong, and it was suppose to be some kind of "can't we all just get along" shirt failure. Why beat around the bush, just wear a shirt that says " F RU" Oh, never mind, I know why ... same reason people type on forums things they won't say to someone's face.

Anything is better than white. As much as I like the white MG ZSs I've seen ... I know me and silver hides my lack of keeping a car clean, in this dusty, muddy wet season roads. White & black just look too dirty if not constantly cleaned. Black is just too hot, but white, they do look nice. Purple for it's uniqueness ???? I've warmed up to silver, since red wasn't available. Hated the ZS's front grill, in the beginning, as no contrast at all. Now I love it, for it's uniqueness. Not the same black oval with emblem in center that every car seems to have. You see the front of a ZS EV, you don't have to wonder what it is. And if you back in, easy to spot, if you remember what level you parked on ????

With that .. no sense in continuing ... ... have a nice day

Yes ... that's why you / I did it over a lake in Phuket. If you're going to do stupid sh!t (bungee in foreign country) you can minimize the risk of serious injury. I think I can fly ... maybe not ...

Actually I have great respect for prostitutes, and I'm a firm believer, even endorse self employment, of any kind. I think people who work salaried jobs that they don't like for their whole life are total idiots. But to call themselves 'victims' is beyond a stretch. Anyone not acknowledging that, then the conversation is over. Victims they are not .... now, should the banks be held responsible for clients' moral or criminal (suspected or un-convicted, if applicable) behavior.

BINGO ... we have a winner. When in a tourist area, 7-11 serves up better fare than some tourist venues ... ???? Why I avoid such areas

Actually that might be 'Thai', pre annexed area of Ban Chang, Udon Thani, as having the earliest to date archeological discovery of the tools to 'slow cook' ... ???? "The site presents the earliest evidence of farming in the region and of the manufacture and use of metals" https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/575/ Actually had to rewrite the books on use of tools and metalworking migration. Instead of CH to TH, reversed to TH to CH. Yes ... Ban Chang the center of the Universe ????

This may help people understand the basis of the lawsuit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jes_Staley Should a bank be held responsible for a clients behavior and how did they directly benefit from that behavior. Did they receive a commission from every favor passed on to Epstein. Open that door, and you won't have enough jail cells to house all the criminals that do banking.

That's annoying. MG, if disable, stays disabled, as I did with lane assist. Along with a few others ... as I don't need the weather report every day.

Use ACC a lot, which I guess uses TJA, but I don't want the car steering for me (self driving) though don't think it would work to well here/TH.

I don't think it's de-dollar, more just progress in the global market, and the ability to pay with any currency you like now. RU sanctions is proof of that, as they simply flow their money through CH. Online shopping, you pick what currency you want to pay in, home or other country. Can change any currency into any currency now when traveling, usually. Almost a free floating market, almost ???? If they ever introduced a world currency, you know it would only benefit the banks and printers of, or plastic/app they plan to institute. Although at that point, it will probably be stored in your bio-chip ????

Yes, same when I was bartending. If someone was on his way to stupid drunk, and wanted to keep on drinking, he/she gave up their car keys. No keys or designated driver, they didn't get served.

7 degrees is almost a half a century (~500 yrs)away, at the 1.5C rate per 100 yrs, that may or may not happen. Humans will be lucky if they make it 100 more years before self destruction. The weather that they apparently have no desire in trying to control, even if possible, it's not, is the least of their concerns...IMHO

Don't you find it hypocritical, that they complain about the mining of lithium & cobalt for EVs, but not all the other applications it's used for, including .... ... wait for it .... including .... petrol production ???? At least the cobalt in EV batteries is recyclable ... not so when used in petroleum refining. Most EVs are moving away from cobalt & nickel in batteries anyway. CH's MGs for TH, for example use the LFP chemistry batteries, without both. Goes with most solar system batteries now also, use LFP batteries.

Nothing personal, but people complain about man made global warming/climate change, but don't do anything (go solar/drive ev) about it, but complaining. Apparently complaining isn't working. If concerned, you should probably DO something about it. I don't believe it is a problem, so don't need any evidence, but NOAA's data does show temps leveled off since 2015. One spike ups since, then leveling, actually when down a bit, but so little, not worth mentioning. Some people talk, some people do ... UP2U That 1.5C isn't going to make a whole lot of difference, IF it even happens the next 100 yrs. Some may even welcome it. Instead of wasting time talking about ice melting, that they can't stop, maybe the should concentrate on water management. Been screaming about the ice melting for over 2 decades that I can remember, but still haven't directed much attention to water management. Oh wait ... they're making money selling water, so why solve that problem. Silly me ????
