As are most posters with their Anti RU, CH, USA, TH, IN bigotry and EV ignorance. now up to 7 pages of ignored members ????

Hopefully that will lighten up the load at HH Imm, with tourist extending there, instead of in province.

Graduated HS in '73' and thought, that was a waste of time. So much so. last year of, I was rarely there. Now realize that was an excellent education compared to what's being taught now, and quite grateful now. Teachers did it, because they loved teaching, as the pay sucked, before they were unionized. Now it's one of the better paying jobs, and many teach, just putting in their time, and could care less. Hard to blame their moral or lack of drive entirely on them, as the discipline of the students has gone downhill also. The job seems to have changed from teaching to day care in many districts.

Bored, ran out of torrents, so playing with the #s. Since getting the digital meter and basically 'off' grid, these are the daily average for the months we've had solar: Feb (2) 23.17 kWh per day so far. Jan (5) 19.48 2023 Dec (6) 19.21 Nov (6) 18.73 Oct (4) 15.65 Sept (1) 11.96 Aug (5) 12.91 2022 We were conservative, until 2nd ESS was added, having 20kWh overnight instead of 10kWh. Since having few krappy days in a row, and produced as low as 6 or 7 kW a day, to high of 49+ when sunny. The single digit # after the month, is # of days we were out of the house, all day, and or overnight somewhere, 29 days in 6 months.

And here I thought most of the F35s were grounded ... ????

Are you wearing your hood ? How about the best actor to fill the role, who might be available, for a 10 year run or the next 3 ish installments. I've seen a few lists of suggestions, and as stated earlier Idris Elba would be perfect, IMHO, but would take a lot of money for him to commit, as enjoys his other interests & projects. I don't think the rest of the suggestions would work very well. They do have blacks/Africa decent folks working in British intelligence, in case you didn't know. So far from 'woke-ism'. If next JB was black & had to be gay with an handicapped lover, I might agree ????

HINT: BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa)

I think you just described most expats on long visa, and those using agents to skirt the financials here, Along with most of the tourist ... ????

People aren't and never have been the problem ... ... Govts are and always will be ... WAKE UP PEOPLE

Sanctions did nothing but hurt the western countries that benefitted from Russian tourist. If they can't fly there, they'll simply fly to where they can, and that seems to be via China. Along with routing their rubles through China's Union Pay Intern'l. Win win all around, except for the west ... LOSERS ???? Couple years of covid and sanctions, and them Ruskies got a few rubles saved up to spend somewhere. Everybody wants to, but it certainly isn't USA, UK or EU ...

With all Yanks being loud & obnoxious and with all Ruskies being loud & obnoxious ... ... expect WW3 ???? Can't wait for the first news-blip of a disturbance, and could turn into one of the longest threads on AN, with the repetitive expert analysis. Hope it's 2 gay guys, having a cat fight at a gay club

Not that it's needed here ... yet, except maybe weekends, if you don't reserve. Wonder if he will here, would be nice, though if a Tesla owner, I'd probably prefer not. Tesla opening up their supercharging network to all in the USA. $$$ motivated: "Under new White House standards issued last year, the company is required to make its chargers accessible to the “broadest number of people” in order to qualify for billions in federal funding." https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/15/23600859/tesla-supercharger-non-tesla-ev-number-biden

Went to one of our favorite restaurants for a munch, and sadly, every table had a damn farang at it. Actually rare, and if that wasn't bad enough. I think the 1 was all Ruskies ... then I ruled it out, as they seemed like a very nice family simply enjoying their holiday meal.

A simple ultrasound would have given the proper, better diagnosis in matter of minutes. Reads more like a money grab or extreme incompetence.

Hard to believe, anywhere in the world, people would let their car self drive. Here, TH, can be tricky when you are paying attention. Not so much where I am, as they seem to drive quite good here: Ko Lak, PKK

Darwinism will sort them out, but unfortunately, they'll take far too many innocents with them.

"Who do you trust? " ... NO one ... as profits are the priority. Reading the ingredients, and in order of % is a bit spooky at times. Explains a lot of the health issues & size of some people. Sugar not really the demon, unless one of the top 5 ingredients of 10 total. Much better than sugar substitutes. If more than a few grams per serving, may want to give that item a pass. Especially since some serving sizes are ridiculously small. Olive oil can be refined, without noting it is, though not entirely bad, if it actually is olive oil, but not as good either, as better version of. Veggie oils seem to be anything, and if hydrogenated oil is listed, simply avoid. Many of the 'all natural' ingredients, aren't exactly healthy for you, with the volume of, that is used. We buy very little processed food, and most foods done in home from scratch.

Whoa ... talk about inflation. They ain't worth that much, Holy Krap ????

Who needs math & science, when the priority is critical race & gender ID ... ???? Japan had to show the USA how to build cars in the 80s & 90s, now it's China's turn this century. Biden mandates 'Made in USA' EVs, parts or while & batteries, along with extending incentives/subsidies to those companies. Except ... apparently most don't have the know how. Go figure, but I'm sure they'll hire the correct demographic quotas ???? "Ford To Build $3.5 Billion LFP Battery Plant In Michigan An integral part of Ford's new LFP battery plans is a new agreement that's in place with Contemporary Amperex Technology Company (CATL), the world's leading battery supplier. CATL will initially provide Ford with LFP cells which will begin to power all standard-range Mustang Mach-Es later this year. The extended-range Mach-Es will continue to use NCM battery packs. By next year, the standard-range F-150 Lightning will also come with LFP packs while the extended-range vehicles will continue to use NCM. CATL will continue to supply the Chinese-made LPF cells to Ford until such time that the new facility has the capacity to produce them. CATL has agreed to license its LFP battery technology to Ford and will have employees at the new Ford plant to assist with and oversee production. Currently, Ford is the number two US automaker with regard to electric vehicle production and the company estimates it will be selling two million EVs annually by 2026. By comparison, Tesla hopes to sell two million vehicles this year," Paraphrased from: https://insideevs.com/news/652304/ford-lfp-battery-plant-michigan/ Thoughts are my opinion and my opinion alone, from reading sites that probably aren't allowed to be linked, as far too free thinking.

Chatrium Riverside is the only place I've stayed that fits most of that, nice pool & buffet, but not centrally located ... BUT ... take their shuttle boat to Saphan Taksin pier to access to anywhere. We prefer being on the river anyway. Though nothing really right outside the hotel area. Almost central to where we prefer, N Bang Rak area/ChinaTown, the island, or hopping over to ICONSIAM/Khlong San market & Wang Lang market areas. Much better for knocking around than the 'central' tourist ghettos. Another would be, Sheraton Grand Suk was nice also, fits location & pool area is stellar. Rooms were a bit dated and that was some time ago. Better choices if rooms haven't been updated. Didn't partake in buffet, but would think it meets your criteria.

Yep, saw a news-blip or 3, where he was having a hard time, express his thoughts, and even putting them in sentence. Seems to be a requirement to be a candidate for Dems.

Hard to believe people really are that stupid, to not pay attention or take their hands off the steering wheel while operating a vehicle.

This new distraction tactic is turning into a joke: "Hobby Club’s Missing Balloon Feared Shot Down By USAF" https://aviationweek.com/defense-space/aircraft-propulsion/hobby-clubs-missing-balloon-feared-shot-down-usaf

With his health issues, mind boggling he was their candidate, and, got elected. Picking the best of too evils, when it appears nobody wants the job ????
