Spotify.
You can only download music on paid version, you can't download music on any of your devices on free version. As Richard said above...... Can download up to 10,000 songs (useful when offline and travelling etc) -

Trump Mulls Action Against Iran’s Nuclear Program
Why would it involve deploying troops on the ground? Can't they just go in, bomb it all to kingdom come and retire to a safe distance? -

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
Existing EV batteries may last up to 40% longer than expected Many of you may have read or scanned this article. This is the more technical paper. Here my takeaways having read variations of this paper: 1) the real world statistics of battery degradation of around 1.8% per year have not changed as the baseline. What has changed is that real world battery usage gives a better lifespan than the standard laboratory measured constant charge/discharge cycles. 2) So your battery can drive longer than the specified charge cycles x km range of your battery. This applies in particular to [plugin] hybrid batteries that does more dynamic cycling in HEV mode than constant charge/discharge in pure EV mode. 3) city urban driving with lots of stop/go, accelerate and regenerative braking is better, than driving on a quiet motorway using the cruise control on a constant speed. Fortunately Thailand main roads are not so quiet. 4) giving the battery a rest after driving, instead of immediately charging is better for the lifespan. However many of us will not do this when stopping to charge on long road trips. Fortunately this "bad" behavior is already included in the real world stats of 1.8% battery degradation. 5) on time induced aging. If leaving the car idle for several weeks, it is better to ask someone to drive the car to do an errand, instead of asking to start the car only to charge the low voltage battery. -

Update to my Rant earlier today
Actually 15 months now. As of last month I was required to provide 15 months. No problem in my case. Whether or not this new requirement is necessary at all Immigration offices is unclear. Jomtien requested it this year. -

I doubt that there are clear, effective policies in place and if there are you still have to carry them out, and then you need some competent to carry them out......too much effort and cost....easier to wing it.
