  1. That's the whole point of this discussion, that the OP doesn't seem to get. Asking our opinion is irrelevant. OP stated, he questioned the "Juristic building manager" and they seem fine with it, and accept allowing them to charge their scooters. End of discussion, as the only opinion that matters, has spoken.
  2. I think they found all the oil already for the people's needs, for the next century or so. So they aren't really backing off, they simply don't need to. Some of my market trades were in oil exploration companies, and then the rights to drill (deep sea) were auctioned off to oil companies, who, 15 yrs later, have yet to tap or pump 1 barrel from the reserves. Just siting on the rights.
  3. Also, read the instructions. On my unit, the lead to the meter, is to be positioned at the side of your elbow.
  4. You win ... the stupidest, false, anti EV statement I've ever read. You trolls just don't quit ???? Damn embarrassing
  5. "Shareholders in US oil companies reaped a $128 billion windfall in 2022 thanks to".... ... price gouging the ignorant / stupid people who fell for all the BS. I'm very thankful they did though, as pushed me to invest a few baht into solar & EVs. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you ... who's stupid now ????
  6. As they are today also. And much better ... lighter, faster, handling wise, safer, simply better in every aspect. People need to stop living in the past.
  7. Agree, and when I think of all the places I've lived (states: TN, WV, PA, NJ, FL, MI), definitely no regrets. Only returned to the USA twice in 22 yrs since retiring, and for the minimal time I needed to take care of business, and couldn't wait to leave. Nothing per se wrong with where I was, just TH is better all around except for the air pollution, which I can deal with. I have the choice of either & choose TH. When I 2nd guess that decision, me & my buddy have a seat, whether at home or surfside and think it over, and always come to the same conclusion, we'll stay put in TH:
  8. I disagree ... TH only has 2 seasons for me ???? ... healthy air/rainy, mid May - Nov ... unhealthy air/burning, Dec - mid May ????
  9. @steveb5 Also have the OMRON, and at last check up, clinic used the same unit ???? Bought mine from OMRON's LAZ link to avoid buying a fake: https://www.omronhealthcare-ap.com/th/stores https://www.lazada.co.th/shop/omron-thailand-1525072635/?path=promotion-36900-0.htm&tab=promotion
  10. I read that he farted twice yesterday ... ????
  11. You might want to think before you post. Since you think they'll explode & start a fire, would you rather they charge in their room. Think of it as inexpensive, preventive insurance. Have a nice day.
  12. Ms Google will answer the second part with a simple search, though has bee posted a couple times recently, but people still ask the same question. ... cost of course would be subjective to brand, who is replacing, and what needs to be replaced, how many cells/modules. Since the longest I've ever owned a car, is about 7 yrs, it may be a mute subject how long anything lasts, I'm pretty sure this is 'my' last car/ZS, and probably my wife's, as she loves it also. Will drive it much less after i've long departed. So 20 yrs if far from optimistic.
  13. Cars definitely last 18 yrs, so no worries there. I had a 1950 in 1974, and ran fine, actually all original. Insured value, I could care less. Now, it's insured value is more than we paid for it. Also, people keep talking about the cost of the 'whole' battery pack being replaced, which is probably the exception. Simply replacing the weak cells/module is the normal repair, not the whole pack: https://www.mgcars.com/en/mg-models/new-mg-zs-ev/charge
  14. Have you tried sous vide'ing the fish ? Easy enough to do, especially fish, since temp doesn't need to be that high. I've fashioned a 'ghetto sous vid' set up, with small cooler & thermometer. Easy to maintain temp. Can't see fish taking longer than 30 minutes to reach the temp. At least if it shrinks up, maybe the juice in bag will have some flavor. Add some butter, lemon, spices, and you have a sauce.
  15. No security ? I can't even get to see my daughter at her condo without passing the guard, and her calling down to allow it.
  16. Private sales, FB Marketplace, or 'local' FB pages set up to sell things. Wife sold our last house on FB, started the page herself, for home & RE sales, managed the listings & spam ????. Plenty of others do the same. Any house of decent value, will usually never show up on a Real Estate site for sale, as they will buy it themselves, or know someone who will for cash, and never make it on sites to be offered. Being a licensed RE agent in USA, and the reason I became one, get first crack at listings. Nothing very good ever got listed the MLS, or lasted a week if it did. Best value, and has worked for us twice, find your lot, and contract the build yourself. Takes work, patience, and a bit of knowledge about construction.
  17. It's a mute subject, since your "Juristic building manager" is allowing them to charge. Options: ... bring it up at the next meeting ... MOVE or sell Crying on the forum won't change anything.
  18. Not necessarily, as many products, USA included, are priced what the local market will allow, or get away with charging. Some pricing due to competition, some pricing, simply because they can. Some pricing, if not low, they can't sell it no matter the competition or lack of. And was the USA brand, actually made in, and shipped from the USA, as most products are not. USA corporations have factories all around the world. Even reading the labels aren't completely clear all the times.

    Snakes in garden

    .... yea right ???? it doesn't end well for venomous snakes at my house/garden. And don't suggest to call a profession to relocate, some place safe for all. That's impossible. I'm not moving a deadly snake to someone else's living area. If there's a road to take to drop off somewhere. That means there are people in the area. Let alone, trying to catch it. That's asking to get bit. Cobras, Kraits, Vipers nah. Golden Tree snakes get a pass, and welcome at the house ???? I know too many people that lost their dogs to snakes.
  20. Not sure why people say that ... 'but it's in Thai' I have auto translate, and if that doesn't click in, just right click any test, and click 'translate to English', and usually works.
  21. Yea ... something like, and very feasible 8 yr /180k kms warranty X 2 = 16 yrs Petrol prices stay at today's rate (35, actually 36 now) and 20k kms a year, sounds about right. 1 mill saved, and 360k kms (225k miles) for battery & electric motors isn't much of a stretch, for EV or an ICE. All things equal, other maintenance costs about the same, minus anything related to a petrol drivetrain. Neither having much value after that, though if battery still holding 50% capacity, that's 23kWh to be added to a solar system. Another plus. If you don't rack up that many kms, that's fine also, as having transport for 16 yrs, and again, both EV & ICE won't have much market value, aside from spare car, or parts. As stated on different thread, we put on about 20k a year now, or I have since living in TH. Wife won't after I'm gone, maybe 5-10k a year at the most. No school or work commute, and everything is within 5 kms of the house now. Would think any EV with a 50kWh battery would give about the same ROI, whether <600k or 950k (MG ZS) to buy new. All the MGs here now, are spec'd and rated about the same.
  22. Ditto ... PEA ฿3k-3.5k ... now ฿26 PTT ... ฿3K ... now -0-
  23. Actually have one of the better Cheesecakes here, the lighter blue seal, stating 'Baked' Cheesecake ???? Partial to their Black Forest also????
