I know that that Thai banks have to report to the US accounts opened by Americans, not sure if the same applies for other countries. I wonder if the reason some banks in Thailand might not want multiple savings accounts, might be because the dont want to have to report multiple times to the US or other countries that might require it.

This knee jerk reaction to criticize anything Thai got to stop. I don't ever reed these threads anymore , the reactions are predictable. Don't mean to pick on you Neeray, I only saw your post as I was scrolling through the "Uread content" page. If anything yours was one of the more benign. If you will read the OP , which I am sure most posters in this thread have not, nowhere does it say "equal players" it says "The intent behind these Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) is the formation of a joint working group, " it is an agreement to Cooperation. Small countries often cooperate with larger countries in many projects. The Title and article read exactly as it should both here and in china, because it states what occurred. Perhaps I am wrong. What is it in this article that you find untruthful or an exaggeration? Please post a quote and we will look at it. I promise an open mind.

You are absolutely wrong, Google "what was trump charged with un the classified documents case" then use some of that by now famous critical thinking( ) and see if there are any evidence by which Biden could be charged of the same.

Why?

Equal protection under the law.

It was a bad idea as far as the Indians and the Aboriginal Australians are concerned

Mouth watering!!

Very lame reply. LOL you set up a straw man and then you knock it down also lame, and legally uninformed. In the legal system you don't get reduction points for being inept. "Hey sure I tried to kill the guy, but my gun wasn't big enough"

The sentences were in line with sentencing guidelines. If they were not there are appeal procedures to have the sentences reduced I missed it where BLM stormed the capital. and attempted to overthrow a democratic election.

Yea that's true with solar cell, but it does not go straight into your car it goes straight into your battery where it is stored ,and from there to your car, yes it can, and then it is converted to hydrogen, but not the only way to make release hydrogen from oxygen, instead of the electric energy being stored in your car battery it is stored in the hydrogen, No it goes into your battery in the car. Hydrogen is the battery. that goes in your car The only different is how energy is transported to your car. with electricity it is produced in an electric generating plant and transmitted via an electric grid that has a 17% loss . 17% percent of the electric energy produced is lost to resistance and transformers. Let me repeat that because it is so important. 17% of electricity produced is lost in transmission!! To that add the inability of the grid to handle 100% electrification. No there are many steps from generation to delivery in your car. In addition to the transmission challenges , batteries are very heavy. says who? Maybe it is I don't know but the article I provided says hydrogen will be generated from heat waste, with little electricity. ..It is certainly a source. But I a honest, I don't understand what it proves other than that the demand for Hydrogen is increasing, which is also my point. I really dot understand your point. what is it? can you state it in a sentence? . I am really trying to understand what your point is. and am refraining from editorialise. simply google "is there an issue to the grid with ev charging " hundreds of returns all saying that it does . Here is the first one "Impact on supply and demand balance: Unregulated EV charging can amplify the peak demand on the grid, particularly when vehicle charging coincides with existing peak loads. This may overburden the transmission system and critical components of the distribution network, such as transformers and cables. " https://fr.farnell.com/the-effects-of-electric-vehicle-charging-on-the-power-grid-trc-ar?ICID=I-CT-TECH-RES-FC-THE_EFFECTS_OF_ELECTRIC_VEHICLE_CHARGING_STATIONS-TC-0000667-MAR_24-WF3575385#:~:text=Impact on supply and demand,such as transformers and cables. and it seems that you choose to ignore the Transitional loss. it would be pumped like gasoline in a gas station. There will be a transportation infustracture for hydrogen as it is for electricity. Electricity does not magically appear at your outlet. also you fail to consider many other reasons why hydrogen will win out. Batteries are heavy. can't be used for airplanes and trucks , it's the payload problem an the F=ma issue. which is what started this conversation. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the Universe, and as such available to any country. So we have the political issue ,China dominates battery production at this time. Hydrogen can be clean , where the production of electricity has its pollution issues, unless we burn hydrogen or go nuclear, Anyway thank you for engaging me in this conversation, regrettably I got to g because I got things to do, so don't be insulted if I dont unswere any more quotes.

Had a friend from down the street over last night and had a few, Nice Australian fellow Unfortunately for me when I drink at night , I don't sleep well . Only got about 6 hrs of sleep, it is a getting older thing. Usually we have a couple of cold ones lunch time. But not today. 41c here in Khon kaen, go up early and took care of a few things in the yard, and have spend most of the day inside.

You might think that, but..... which premise was that? and then please post to source that contradicted such premice. If it did I would be happy to eat crow and change my opinion publicly in this forum.

Apologies, no disrespect intended but you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the issue , please refer to the reviouse reply

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed , it can only be changed to a different form. every type of transportation system must convert Chemical energy or electric energy into kinetic energy, ICE vehicles convert Chemical energy into kinetic energy Both BEV and Fuel Cell electric vehicles use electricity to create kinetic energy. the only difference is how the electricity is transmitted, In BEV it is transmitted through and electric grid system and wires, to a charging station , An electric grid I might add that can not support total transportation system electrification at it's current state , especially in Thailand. Have you ever looked up? In Fuel cell where the hydrogen is produced via electrolysis, the energy does not need an electric grid to be transported it is stored in the hydrogen. Simply stated you can send the energy via an electric grid, that also has about 17% loss do to resistance and transformers, or you can store the energy in Hydrogen. Arthur Schopenhauer once said, “All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed; second, it is violently opposed; and third, it is accepted as self-evident. This was true with BEVs for many of you . All of a sudden many of you who ridiculed , then were opposed and now find their utility self evident. And you will all go through the same process with hydrogen. and many of you who might now ridicule and oppose will act as you always knew the self evident utility of it.

the same applies to you

Many countries have not Petroleum and yet they have ICE cars . Sure I said the same, currently. what do you start in BEV strawberries? again the operative word here is "Currently " no where did I say that hydrogen fuel cell is currently viable . conventional battery technology did not remain static, why should Hydrogen?

Sorry but that does not even make sense, you are saying that there is a Hydrogen infustracture for 27 years and in the same breath that there is no hydrogen infustracture, and the few that exists "are located in CA & NY "

Like BEV is not subsidised? First , all processes have a loss, mining minera or for BEV has a loss , or or distilling petroleum. in water electrolysis electrolysis the oxygen byproduct also has commercial value. I just posted a quote and a link , where they plan to use excess heat at nuclear plants and little electric to produce hydrogen "Japan plans hydrogen production with next-generation nuclear reactor — using heat and only minimal electricity " "The country’s nuclear research agency, the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), last week passed a safety test on its novel High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor (HTGR), and is now planning hydrogen production field trials using waste heat from the plant as soon as 2028, Japanese daily Nikkei reported. " https://www.hydrogeninsight.com/production/japan-plans-hydrogen-production-with-next-generation-nuclear-reactor-using-heat-and-only-minimal-electricity/2-1-1621135 This is not the only process available. solar cells are very cheap. and they are working on other processes . Just as battery technology did not remain static, so will Hydrogen technology. We were vacationing in Greece last year, people with unproductive land are starting to line it up with solar cells and selling the electricity to the electric company, who is to say that when there is a demand for hydrogen they can not do the same . As I originally said, at this point BAV is the way to go, but as a stop gap option until the hydrogen production , transportation and overall infustracture is developed. I think 10-15 years , At this juncture I would also buy a BAV because IMO it makes better overall sense than ICE No reason why both BEV and FCEV can not co-exist but I think scale of economies will eventually make BEV obsolete, Keep in mind that both fuel Cell an "BEV are both BEV , Fuel cell is just another battery. But for the sake of argument we now use the Fuel cell and BEV nomenclature to differentiate between the two, but it confuses some to think that if someone is for fuel cell is against evs , which could not be further from the truth. One also makes the mistake to compare today's BEV stats, with Today's fuel cell stats. Fuel Cell has not even started and BEV is pretty much established. IMO the advantages of hydrogen fuel cell are so many that current BEV could not possibly compete. But who is to say that tomorrow they don't come up with a solid state battery that is easily made from common and abundant material that is light and charges in 5 min,, or even quantum zero point energy. (ZPE) By the way hydrogen does not need to be pressurized to be transported . ' Breakthrough research enables high-density hydrogen storage for future energy systems Date:March 6, 2024" "This innovative research centers around a nanoporous magnesium borohydride structure (Mg(BH₄)₂), showcasing the remarkable capability to store hydrogen at high densities even under normal atmospheric pressure. " https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/03/240306150645.htm

Hydrogen is Not always going to cost more per mile than a BEV, currently at least 5 times more, it will never be better than twice as much. The only sustainable way to produce it is not to electrolyse water. 33% of the energy used to produce it is not wasted producing Oxygen (which you can produce far cheaper), Then we don't have to compress it and distribute it to fuel stations and finally use it in the car, I believe you will see H2 cars but they will not cost more to run so they will be just as cheap to buy or people won't buy them.

Perhaps, But once there is a hydrogen infustracture, as there will be soon, every major country is investing heavily in it. Why try to Development "advanced battery tech" when there is an abundant, cheap alternative, liteweight, battery system already? "Japan plans hydrogen production with next-generation nuclear reactor — using heat and only minimal electricity " "The country’s nuclear research agency, the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), last week passed a safety test on its novel High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor (HTGR), and is now planning hydrogen production field trials using waste heat from the plant as soon as 2028, Japanese daily Nikkei reported.

The problem in Thailand is that import and retail , are concerned with a price point that is affordable to the majority of their marker, so consequently thy import and stock cheap merchandise.

Remember a couple of months ago when , I said that BEVs are fine, would probably buy one, but the future is in Hydrogen fuel cell batteries and one of my arguments was that conventional batteries are too heavy. Stellantis seems to agree with me " Stellantis CEO Wants To Cut EV Battery Weight In Half" " Carlos Tavares said that an EV with a 250-mile range requires 500 kg of additional materials compared to an ICE model" https://www.carscoops.com/2024/04/stellantis-ceo-wants-to-cut-the-weight-of-ev-batteries-in-half/

and the disrespect continues

No!! you need to stop buying cheap s hi t

A couple of days ago I copied you and made a couple of salmon burritos. I had made Salsa with chopped tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, cilantro and lime juice and a bit of mayo, It was very good, I would make it again soon. Not going to win any photography competitions
