    Bless his little heart. Yea, that's a bit different, and chance of surviving surgery, if other issues or how severe cancer is & growth. Ignorant bliss would have been nice, but 94, think I already knows he's on borrowed time. I think that, and I'm only 68.
  2. Cheap is relative. But I'd get a 2 person tent, and they're barely big enough to be roomy for 1 person. Make sure it seals, zips up very secure, as you don't want anything slithering in and cuddling up to you. As suggested, definitely get a tarp. Or 2, using the 2nd stung up as additional rain protection.

    Why not hop a flight to TH, and have the surgery done here ?
  4. @Datsun 1200 I would be remiss if I didn't mention MG's release next year & affordable ???? His & Hers for about same price as the Nissan. source
  5. Starting @ $121k, ???? more than my house & car, all in. How about something someone will actually buy. Will pass most other ICEV, but trouble passing petrol stations ???? A whole 4.8 kms per L, Range 342 kms ???? Gears ... ???? , that's a shame. 0-60 mph 2.9 sec Or, you could surrender 0.2 sec, and get his & her Tesla 3 Performance model, and have over 10k change, without the rebates. Or, something practical, big ol' heavy truck, and buy the Mrs a different Model 3. "The Rivian R1S is a big heavy truck, but it can still sprint to 60 mph in 3 seconds and cost around $78,000. Then again it all comes down to price and your personal tastes of course—because there’s basically no difference in the 0-60 times between the Rivian and the Tesla. The cheapest, yet fastest EV for the money, will jump from 0 to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds is the Model 3 Perf. starting at $53,990, especially when you factor in the $7500 federal tax credit plus other local rebates." source If 0-60 is all you care about, and not even new versions, as I can't be bothered:
  6. I wasn't comparing anything, just pointing out, I'm not a liar. You are the one that assumed I was operating commercial drones. Toys they are not, and fit my purpose of making vids, or different camera angle. And giving these idle hands something to tinker with. Personally, I would have simply admitted that oops, and extended an apology for the false implication. Instead of deflecting. But that's me. Have a nice day.
  7. With McD paying $15 an hour, I really can't see how anyone doesn't have enough money to live on. And a couple, shouldn't have a problem buying a house, and having transport, if wanting. A couple, making $60k a year, at McD, and more than I ever made at a salaried job. I never broke the 50k salary mark, any year, $49+k was my best year, salary wise. I'm not buying that people that want to work, are struggling that bad. Along with not knowing, or my family and friends complaining about them or their kids, or grandkids struggling. Granted, you many not live in one of the larger expensive cities, but would you really want to.
  8. I depends where the tooth is, and amount of teeth you still have in the area. I had one molar yanked, as not much tooth left holding the filling, that needed a touch up. Didn't see the point of a root canal & crown, 30+k baht, for 1 I don't need or can see. Especially at 67 yrs old. Still have 26 other ones, doing a fine job.
  9. so far, non existent in TH. I await the first news-blip of a LFP battery fire in any EV, especially in TH. Surely we'll have 10 threads running the day that news hits the wire.
  10. I've built my own & bought a few, 25+. Didn't say it was a downpour, just a bit of rain. Does the battery for your drone cost ฿74k, as that was the price of my E-MB. and you can by waterproof drones quite inexpensively. The whole drone, not just the battery. If wanting, how about an IP67 rating. Better than your IP45 And a spare battery, only cost $130 for the drone below. You can pay too much if you want, but intelligent people wouldn't ???? SwellPros have been out for more than a few years, since 2014. Do try to keep with current products. source I even modified one of mine from the 'chop shop' to land and take off on water ???? Even got a vid if you wish to see it, post on AN before. But thanks for calling me a liar. ... and another one on the list
  11. yes, if using the lower end dental clinic/docs, do schedule your appointment to be the first. Unless you actually think they have enough autoclaves, bits & drills to sterilize both the drill bits & drills between every patient.
  12. If just for the wife, knocking around town, you really need to check out the DECO 2000w motor models. 1000w motor models can be a bit limiting, depending on driving style.
  13. No need, I've actually got caught in the rain a couple times, drones & E-MB. Didn't shrink or explode.
  14. And those record windfall profits the oil companies made, affecting that supply chain, jacking up prices across the board.
  15. All would be easy to audit, but yea, silly to do. Tax your house as it goes up in value, even though you may never sell it. Tax stock holdings when up, but what happens when down, do you get paid that year. I lost 110k, and I got a 5k baht credit. I'd rather get paid 40k, if your plan was instituted. And, I still had to pay tax on my 40k salary, now taxed at 35k. Very fair ???? Goes both ways, you can't keep taking for the 'haves' that earned what they have. How come a fair, flat tax across the board is never good enough ? It would be very easy to do, simply audit w-2s & 1099s, as just about covers most things received. Because then everyone would have to pay their fare share, not just the haves being over taxed. All the suggestions, only benefit the low income, but taking from the higher incomes. Fair ??? Trust me, the haves are all in favor of a flat tax.
  16. I'm surprised you didn't suggest they shrink when they get wet in the rain.
  17. There are different types of e-motorcycles/scooter/bikes. DECO's are all LFP batteries, and yet one to be reported on fire. With 1000s being sold in TH. You get what you pay for, and how you maintain it.
  18. I guess the Celerio should have a turtle as a badge, along with other ICEV that can't manage to keep up with EVs ... ????
  19. Yes, gains, same as salaries, not taxed until you receive them. Why should that be any different, as hard to predict gains. And take note, you don't get much credit for 'losses' , a flat 5k no matter the loss ... that's fair ????
  20. They already make them, and so many more: China Rocks
  21. Of course it is, and next month they'll release their ridiculously low rate of inflation for the year, just in time for the COLA to be announced on Social Security ... ... like clockwork ... ????
  22. Capital gains is considered income, same as paychecks, and reported to IRS from brokers, same as salaries from employers. There is no avoiding paying taxes ... it's the BS of those that spin that silliness. You can use the tax laws to cut your tax, or delay your tax, but that's about it. Everyone pays, well, except the people who want to take from those that earned. Best way to cut your tax, is give your income away, and why so many rich, give so much to charities, or good motivation anyway. Give 1M away, and save paying tax on that 1M. And kudos for those that do so.
  23. 2nd visit for root canal done (Fri/10 days after 1st), was charged seperate for each visit 4k & 4k. Need to return Monday, for more work, a permanent filling, and mold for the forthcoming composite. After taking the other half of the crapped out veneer that's still there off. So a 4th visit, maybe 10-14 days after Monday before done. So a bit pricy for saving a small tooth, being the side incisor. 1k and I could have just yanked it, but where would my modeling career go from there ... ???? Vanity is expensive ???? So another 1k + 4k, I think she said, or 12k for a crown, which I don't really need, as an incisor.
