Or maybe it's like saying that on average temperatures are rising? Or like saying that on average that flooding is more widespread or more frequent or both?

BUT it's not...

Big C made the mistake to go from trays of fresh meat out for the public to choose from to prewrapped portions in glass cases... I for one quit shopping there in favor of the open markets...

What is car wrapped? Never heard of it. Wrapped in plastic? Wrapped up and tossed out? Rip wrap? My apologies, but this one went over my head.

Car wrapping is a way to customize your car using a vinyl film instead of painting... vehicles that you see with advertising on them are a type of vinyl wrapped... I had a small sports car that I wrapped in a copper colored vinyl

www.rome2rio.com will tell you all the ways to travel anywhere...

555 Thais do not even know what pin stripping is much less car wrapping.

customer services tacked me through a procedure including the same numeric key on the underside of the router to no avail, then promised that a technician would call back. Techician has not yet called.

And he won't for a while... this is a four or five day weekend is it not...

Can you explain why the OP can get no response out of MG? To me, that is questionable.

I can't be bothered looking up the brands made solely in China to satisfy your carping.

Remember that he is trying to get a response from MG in THAILAND... fully owned and operated in THAILAND... the land of very poor customer response in all they do

You presented a graph constructed from data gathered in USA and claimed it refuted what climatologists are claiming.  USA makes up less than 2% of Earth's surface, so you should think of that data as localized data.  The climate problem involves the entire planet and the <2% in USA is should not be construed as indicative of the global situation.

I also looked up and compared other local patterns in other countries and some are up and some are down... its a localized situation that cannot really be averaged out to come up with an overall prognostication... that's like saying that because there is heavy flooding in one region that it is flooding all over the world on average.

The more posts you make in this vein, the more obvious it is that you don't comprehend the difference between weather and climate.  Try again!

Pray tell... enlighten me.

Harris slammed for saying most can’t afford a $400 surprise expense: ‘Yeah, that’s called Bidenomics’

Note to self... if the systems are not user friendly and reliable they are no good.

The banality of this discussion is that being a sporting event "bigot" is misleading the responders.  Each team has its followers which could be called bigots... the broader concept at play here is it ok to be a bigot in the world scene... everyday life... and the answer is ______... BUT is it ok to express your bigotry in a public venue with total disregard for anyone else at said venue... the answer is "NO".  Freedom of speech has nothing to do with it... respect and decorum is implied along with your individual freedoms based on societal norms... IMHO that's where the "public" has lost their way... and quite frankly they have been mislead by their hero sports figures... no matter which sport.

Why rely on science when you have a Fox News opinion piece to tell you what to think.

 

Also, and I know this is difficult for some people to grasp, what is happening in the US is not necessarily indicative of what is happening globally.

When it is broken down to specific areas... in this case the USA... some temperatures are up and some are down... so for you to say that it is global is misleading... global is all inclusive and the facts are that it is not a global trend at all but rather is a locational phenomena.

Don't the police have to show up in order to "crack down"???

It is not an "extra foreigner fee"... it is the "fee"... just because the Thailand attractions, government, or whatever or whoever give Thai nationals a discount should be of no concern to you... it's a perk for Thais

It is my opinion that any scientist who truly believes there is a god is ipso facto NOT a scientist, but something else.

And that, furthermore, that "something else" is a stain upon the very name of Science!

 

 

In is my opinion opinions are like a--holes... everyone has one and they all stink especially in broad generalizations and are a stain on the very name of human existence.

Another case of getting caught out and trying to cover it up with the old "we did nothing wrong mantra"... "it's all a misunderstanding"...

He read it... just can't seem to comprehend what he reads...
