I'm not American and the US courts seem a very weird system to me ( eg suing a corporation because one thought it OK to put a hot drink where it could spill ), but as many cases seem to be "frivolous" this ruling seems politically biased to me. I hope Trump appeals and wins.

You are posting excellent information. I hope you keep it up.????

The person laughing the most at this is IMO undoubtedly D T.

The use of hydrogen is not new, so that isn't a huge problem to solve. London had some hydrogen powered buses a while back. https://www.london.gov.uk/press-releases/mayoral/englands-first-hydrogen-double-deckers-launched

I don't remember if I "bashed" you personally for anything, but I can't say much about Obama or Trump on this thread without getting deleted for off topic.

Sadly, the people of Ukraine are dying, and will continue to do so till a negotiated end is arranged.

Wasn't Ukraine attacking Donbas before the invasion? That's hardly accepting the situation, and wasn't it separatists ( ie not "occupiers" ) and not Russian military in there? I don't believe the Russians invaded to take over Donbas, otherwise they could have just invaded that area and not the rest.

So you insult me and think I should not respond? It's sentences like "Anyway, having seen your various comments over the years, I don't find the claim to be very credible" that cause me to consider your posts of no importance to me. It is possible to post without making derogatory comments about other posters, and the forum would be more pleasant without them. Quoted from forum rules.

IMO hydrogen IS the way to go. If the amount of money spent on battery cars had been spent on hydrogen, that'd probably be universal already. If they want to use battery cars, they should have made it possible to do a battery swap so don't have to recharge on a long journey. That'd work for taxis and other vehicles in cities that do a high mileage every day as well. Strange that they didn't come up with that idea long ago.

While I don't have any figures to prove it, apparently many farmers, among others, voted for Labour last election to keep the greens out of government. They won a majority, but still managed to find a place for green policies. Nobody will be doing that again.

I don't understand your post, but if you want to know why farmers don't like her policies I'll repeat for you "Ever heard of 3 waters? Ever heard of the methane tax?"

Good for him.

I think you are wrong about this,giving in to Putin would have only made him stronger in his believe Russia is invincible and it would even encourage him more to try to "reestablish the old USSR" like he said he wanted to do. I've seen that often, but no one actually knows, do they? Anyway, he wouldn't invade a NATO country and why would most of us care about some country in Eastern Europe if not in NATO? I strongly believe that now he realizes he has made a very big mistake but being the man he is he will never admit that because it will show weakness and that in itself would be very dangerous to him. IMO it's gone too far to back down now, and if he did it's over for him, literally. You think support to the Ukraine will dwindle,i think it will not. I disagree. IMO it's already dwindling in the US as their problems mount. Wait to see if the GOP is prepared to spend the money on missiles instead of on Americans. Don't forget the US debt problem The USA is getting rid of an age old enemy for a relatively cheap price,there is a lot more to that but that is for another discussion. LOL. Russia isn't going away, whatever happens in Ukraine You are saying it is not your war,it is a war against pure evil and the Ukraine is fighting for all the right reasons. All war is evil, but humans still do it, and probably always will. Honest question,if you had a neighbor who wanted a piece of your garden for whatever made up reason,would you give it to him to keep the peace? If he was bigger and stronger than me and was going to destroy me- yes I would

Must be longer IMO. Purachai stopped the nudity and the shows, and it took many years to get back, though it was never as good as before Thaksin's time as PM. BTW I hated those boots. They had gone by the time I left Thailand though- back to shoes.

I never wanted to miss out on a night at Nana Plaza, though I started to go in morning ( for afternoon flight ) and they had cheap stays for 4 hours. That worked for me. Reminds me of the time I went to airport and they delayed the flight by several hours, so I took train back to town, stayed in Nana a while, and took a taxi back to airport. Unfortunately, the rain started at 6 pm and back in those days the roads would flood, so I left before any of the shows started. Talk about bad luck!

Also, it's not required for the O is it? IMO only $ millionaires can afford to not be insured in Thailand. A mere broken bone in my hand cost me 50,000 baht in hospital, the cost of a heart attack, a stroke or a severe accident would be incredible. I was insured with a Thai company at 60,000 baht a year, to continue the cost would have risen substantially, so I let it lapse and used travel insurance instead. Even if I could afford to use the Thai insurance I am too old to be accepted now. When I left I had the 800,000 baht that I changed to home country money, but as the pension isn't enough on it's own, that is long gone. I could go back to LOS for a short holiday, but that would lead me to suffer financially here. Times are going to get harder- rents are going to go up, food is more expensive, Dr cost has risen, dentists are astronomically expensive. Sadly, the sensible thing to do is to save money now to survive later.

I disagree. Those posters that seek to tarnish other posters with false accusations need to be exposed for what they are.

Both of those regions have large numbers of people living in rural areas where tradition rules, and women are not well educated. I see no improvement in decreasing birth rates in my lifetime happening.

if you don’t have a realistic idea of how to end this war in another way, that doesn’t do much good, does it? So what would be your solution to end this war, without giving in to Russia? Honest question. Honest answer:- Going back to before the invasion, negotiations with some loss of land to Russia might have saved all this death and destruction. That was my solution, but I have none to solve this situation. IMO this war will end when foreign countries end the arms supplies that keeps it going, and IMO that will happen this year as inflation and other economic hardship turns populations against spending billions to support Ukraine. History, especially that of Barbarossa, tells us that Russia will win, short of a new leader ( Gorbachev ended the Afghanistan war- they didn't actually lose IMO ) As far as escalation goes, IMO no sane person wants to escalate a war with a nuclear armed state.

Agreed. Hydrogen avoids most of the problems created by battery cars. IMO batteries are the wrong path- hydrogen is the saviour if they could just put the investment in to develop it.

I sympathize. Happened to me too many times.

Didn't they just extend the time the coal fired power station will be in operation?

At least you are right on one thing, the planet will end as a place where life exists when the sun runs out of fuel.

Listening to the radio, the luvvies are well into the cover up of her deficiencies. LOL. The latest I just heard is that anyone criticizing her is a misogynist! She chose to be a politician so she gets criticized when she makes mistakes. If they want to be treated differently females shouldn't be politicians.

I heard it was 2. Doesn't make any difference though, as the carbon footprint of her stunt sailing trip was larger than if she just flew.
