History is shaped by country, culture, politics, religion, and by who tells the story.Sun, 24 May 2026 02:42:12 +0000You’re way overthinking it. After each drive, pop the hood and fill the reservoir with coolant until the level remains steady after a couple few days. Then check it periodically as normal. The radiator will be fine ss long as it has coolant.Sun, 24 May 2026 02:41:14 +0000If you want truth about this "non-war," look elsewhere.

I took the main drive that went to the front of the building. I then took a left hand turn, and not two blocks away I prayed to the powers that be my car didn't break down. The WORST looking ghetto I'd ever seen. I can't imagine things have gotten any better since. And, if any of the AN admin are interested, I can't add graphics to this post, only text.Sun, 24 May 2026 02:35:32 +0000This is what the dude wrote.

The fire occurred on Thursday in the outbound lane of the Nonthaburi-Kanchanaburi motorway, destroying much of the plug-in hybrid vehicle. Get today's headlines by email The occupants, a couple and their two children, escaped safely before the fire spread through the SUV. According to the driver, a yellow warning light appeared on the dashboard shortly before smoke began coming from the hood. He then noticed a burning smell followed by flames emerging from underneath the vehicle. The company issued a statement on Friday in response to growing public concern surrounding Volvo vehicles in Thailand. In its letter, Volvo Car Thailand said: “Based on a preliminary examination of images from the incident, together with information gathered from people at the scene, the company found that the source of the heat or fire did not originate from the high-voltage battery area.” However, the exact cause of the fire has not yet been identified. Volvo said the investigation remains ongoing and that additional findings would be released once the full facts have been established. The incident has attracted attention because it follows two separate fires involving Volvo EX30 electric vehicles in Thailand earlier this month. Those incidents prompted increased scrutiny from drivers and social media users concerned about the safety of electric and hybrid vehicles. The XC60 involved in the motorway fire is a plug-in hybrid model that operates using both petrol and electric power. The EX30, which has also faced questions following recent fires, is a fully battery-electric vehicle. Industry observers say fires involving electric and hybrid vehicles often draw heightened attention because of concerns about lithium-ion battery systems, even when investigations later point to other causes. Volvo’s statement appears aimed at addressing speculation that the battery system was responsible in the latest case. The Bangkokpost reported that authorities and Volvo engineers are expected to continue examining the damaged vehicle to determine where the fire started and what triggered it. The company said any further developments from the investigation would be communicated publicly. Related story Volvo-faces-inquiry-over-ex30-battery-fires-in-Thailand Join the discussion?

Especially women who are serious and vulnerable women who actually hope for something long term.Sun, 24 May 2026 02:25:15 +0000Obviously just "typical tourist behavior". Like Ashley Babbit's family, this guy's family should be entitled to a sizable chunk of change to compensate for their loss. Take it from Trump's new slush fund. Also, any law enforcement or DoJ mentions of this incident will be removed from the official record, as thy would just be "partisan propaganda" (https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/us--justice-department-jan-6-125533895.html) It is Trump and the Republicans who have condoned political violence. Trump pardoned those who, at best, were like this latest actor, but in reality represented an even greater threat to public order and the lives of elected officials, not to mention democracy itself. Now Trump even wants to compensate the convicted 6 Jan crowd with US Taxpayer money. Also, recall when in a State of the Union speech President Biden said, "Political violence has no place in America". Not a single Republican stood or applauded.

Seventy thousand (70,000) dead in the enclave of Gaza - which is by now pretty much scorched earth with no chance of native repopulation. The West Bank has violent right wing settlers out of control, killing, burning and confiscating Palestinian land - and the 'authorities' (like IDF) do nothing to stop it - maybe even help it along.Sun, 24 May 2026 02:19:32 +0000Thats a song from 40 years ago Everton sung it when they won the first division and Jimmy Hill was commentatingSun, 24 May 2026 02:18:56 +0000Sun, 24 May 2026 02:18:27 +0000Frenchies got great humor, germans to,Sun, 24 May 2026 02:13:17 +0000LOL.
