Photo-story - Where my bike’s been
As I think I mentioned earlier, Saturday was the Langkawi Folding Bike Challenge, but I could not be bothered with a trip to Langkawi..."Well, you don't need to go to Langkawi to ride 65 km on a folding bike." -

Tin sheds on pickup trucks - legal or not?
As has been discussed many times on this forum over the years, the legality of many things in Thailand is a very subjective issue. -

Taxation of foreighners in S/E Asia?
Explained in another post. Most Thai's live in the cash economy. Do you agree? Yes, or no? Go on the record. if you agree, then you have contradicted yourself in your post. If you disagree, the stats prove you wrong. -

Widest access to American ETFs
S&P 500 only includes companies listed on American stock exchanges. Nasdaq 100 is 95.3% US companies. Not quite sure how you could consider either to be "internationally diversified". -

Looking to buy a new SUV - any recommendations?
you can take any ICE, and modify the engine for LPG or CNG or hydrogen, it’s a similar process. In the case of the Lexus V8, five liter engine, they just modified it to run on hydrogen, there is nothing special or new here, it’s just a bog standard engine with harden valves, and a few other modifications to make it run on hydrogen. if you think this engine is something new and special, then I would like to have some of what you are smoking, the average Joe Public consumer is not so stupid as to see through what this is, it’s just a marketing exercise, to spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt and prevent customers from buying BEV solutions until Toyota is ready. in Thailand, it might take a minute and a half to fill up, however, even in warm countries, for example California it takes a lot longer than that, because you have to wait for the nozzle of the pump to defrost, in somewhere like Norway, customers were complaining it took upwards of 30 minutes to an hour to get the nozzle off the car because of the Frost situation. Refueling freezes the nozzle. as for Akio Toyoda he has lost what little credibility he ever had, he stated that people would never buy EV, guess what, they loved them in Thailand and Norway, he stated that they would never be more than a 30% adoption rate, it’s a 75% adoption rate in Norway already, Toyota cannot be trusted. They’ve just been investigated and apologized for faking safety tests. Toyotas V-8 hydrogen engine is nothing more than a minor conversion on an existing engine, just like a CNG Toyota Altis for example. I am no fool, and I can tell you that I do laugh at Toyota, taking an existing engine and making a few modifications for it to run on hydrogen, just like they made a few modifications to launch an altis on CNG, or Mitsubishi made a few modifications to launch a triton on CNG, or the modifications I paid for to Modify a few cars to run on LPG in the past The world is going BEV, it’s already too late to stop it. It is possible that there could be a shortage or lithium, and that’s one of the few things that I agree with Akio Toyoda, that could lead to a two tier system of BEV and hydrogen cars being available, the consumer will always choose BEV if they can afford it because it’s gonna be so much cheaper to run, so therefore the hydrogen cars would have to be an awful lot cheaper to buy to make up for that. The fact is that this converted engine is less powerful than it was in the gasoline car. And as for 455 hp being enough, I’m sure it’s OK for some, I struggle with 530 hp in my EV and my previous EV was 680 hp, almost enough for Chiang Rai. I love driving around in silence, with instant torque , and power available under my right foot, I do not miss the noise, vibration and harness of an ICE, and neither does everybody else I know who drives an EV. Hydrogen will go the way of the dinosaur for passenger cars, nobody wants it, it’s far too expensive. It takes up far too much room in the car and an EV makes so much more sense. -

I have been an invited speaker at several American conferences, with funding provided for my travel by the organizers. Presumably, I was invited because Americans thought they could learn something from an Australian. Do you always lead with your chin? -

Strange Issue with Auros z590 Motherboard Audio.
While in msconfig, did you look at all the startup apps? When the radio's playing I assume you checked all the programs running in Task Manager. You might also look at the Task Scheduler and see if anything suspicious is scheduled to start at boot. Take a look at all the running local services. Finally, when the radio's on, look at the Volume Mixer applet to see what apps show sound volume fluctuation. -

Kennedy gives Swing voters a clear choice, Trump
Being that I have lived here the last 36 years I kind of doubt it. Kids have lived in the states the last 9 years though. You never watched the video you just know that JFK jr. is anti big Pharmacy and so am I. Sorry to burst your bubble. -
