Have you ever flown while fully baked?
Your hyperbole is baseless. That might be the case on the cheap discount flights from Europe to Turkey, the ones that feature the fights and the diversions, but it is most certainly not the case on the major airlines. Most passengers are not stoned or inebriated when departing, despite the urban myth. Yes, some people are, but they are the small minority. First off, champagne is not served in the non premium classes. Nor is alcohol served until the aircraft is at cruising altitude and out of a turbulence zone. I don't know how often you fly, but as a frequent flyer in premium class, the alcohol service has been cut back over the years. The complementary champagne pre takeoff that some airlines serve is less than 100 ml. If people are showing up to flights stoned to oblivion, then they pick the option of burning alive when the plane has a failed takeoff. I just don't need them in my way counting unicorns and rainbows, delaying my quick exit. These guys that that a few beers would be harmless too https://youtu.be/BA_e28cXJ5g -

Trumpy-nomics -- "fixing" an economy that is already great. What could possibly go wrong?
Just the same as the last time he took power, Trump will benefit from 4 years of solid Dem economics that has seen inflation (a world-wide problem) drop to 2.7% and still falling, gas prices stabalising and enviable job numbers. And just like last time, Trump will come in and cut taxes for his wealthy friends and business supporters adding even more trillions to the national debt than the $4 trillion he added the last time round ($8 trillion overall), initiate a tarriff scheme that every economist has predicted to be a world-wide disaster as well as deregulation to the detriment of the environment and public health. But as long as the stock market goes up then most of the Trump fans on here won't really care with their 'I'm alright Jack so f**k the rest of you' attitude. -

EV Owners Frustrated as Samui Ferries Restrict EV Transport Over New Year Period
As I wrote - apologies if my interpretation was flawed - but did wonder why you wrote EV'ers and not just Drivers. On to the the other point I made regarding social media bias: IMO it does seem that there is a very firm bias against EV's in 'some' social media circles whenever there is an event... i.e. A car fire, in a car park etc, it seems before there is any proof a lot of commentators in forums such as this start pointing the finger at EV.... its almost an anti-Ev echo-chamber that self feeds... I also see similar anti-ICE bias in other threads when people start accusing ICE drivers of polluting the world etc - it seems there is an inability to have a discussion around the 'middle ground' as the voice from the extremes shouts loudest and the balanced median within which most of us remain remain ignored or unheard until pointing out the bias of the extremes - by which time we are labeled anti-this or pro-that etc... the same happens in political discussions. One good example of the anti-EV bias was with the massive carpark fire at Luton Airport in October 2023 which destroyed 1352 vehicles in total and the carpark itself - following investigation the 'source' vehicle was found to be a Diesel Range Rover - but that did not stop a huge amount of comments at the time suggesting the cause was an EV's, or that EV's shouldn't be allowed in car parks etc.... Lots of heavily bias comments without factual backup. With a name like Transam - I'd expect you to be quite bias towards V8' engines or a bloke call Sam who wears dresses, of course, we know its the former and given your forum posting history I'm surprised if you are actually bias and dislike EV's as you seem to have more genuine opinions and also take on the fight against the trolling extremes of whom there seem to be many on this forum. I'm interested in the balanced discussion - particularly as we have an EV parked in-front of our house, if that goes up, so does the front of our house !!!... IF I start reading 'facts' regarding the greater risk of EV fires, I'll re-think where I park my car, so I pay attention to stats, facts, real news and informed comments - but also object to the silliness that also arises. Thus for me, the debates in threads such as this are not just to 'attempt' to bring balance and rein in some of the ridiculous bias, but also to learn. - One take away so far, is that I have greater confidence that EV's are significantly less of a fire risk than other vehicle types, but the time at which they are at highest (relevant) risk, is when they are charging (thats still relative and they are less at a risk of fire than an ICE, especially if it has just pulled up and parked) - Another take away so far, is to discussion on thermal sensors - It would make sense to install a sensor overlooking the car where it charges, but I'd also argue, given the info and stats, if we are going to go down that road, it also makes sense to have such as sensor where any car is parked in front of or under our house. -
