Is it worth having one short sighted eye corrected?
Soon. Presbyopia usually starts end forties, many people won't notice anything until about your age (and then it usually still takes several years until they admit they need reading glasses). -

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2024)
Many thanks for the list above as I watched Harrison's Flowers last night and thought it was very good, so more will be on my list to watch over the coming nights. Watching the film bought back the horrors of the "Bosnian war" and how at the time I thought that Bosnians and Serbs were animals because of their cruelty. Upon reflection, I shouldn't have thought like that because that has been a feature of many wars since time immemorial, and I remember just a few days ago commenting on the "Sand Creek Massacre" where old women and children were butchered and mutilated. Then of course there were the Nazi concentration camps where millions of Jews were murdered, then the Mai Lai massacre in Vietnam, onto the rape of Nanking and many more .........all horrendous and just goes to prove that " man's cruelty to man" knows no boundaries, sad as it is. -

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
Who the hell needs 1000 kms range on any vehicle. Very few ICEVs can manage that, unless having an auxiliary fuel tank. On Thai roads, IF you could average 80 kph, that would be 12+ hours. After 3hrs, I'm ready for a stop, stretch, P & a munch. As is the dog & wife, and we don't even have kids, wanting to stop every hour. TBH, lucky to make 3 hrs without the wife or dog wanting to stop. So simply top up while there. No different than having an ICEV. Well, I'll tell you .... I'm never buying another car, until they come with a chauffer, catered w/full bar. -

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
Gman, nice to see you again. I do acknowledge that EV are selling like hot cakes in Thailand and that the Thai charcking infrastructure is more than adequate, actually it is world class and very impressive. My interest is where will it end, when the dust settled. The Chinese EV manufacturers are whining like babies while at the same time they are dumping prices out of desperation to sell their vehicles. Something will eventually break. I am all for honest and factual information and data. Cherry 🍒 picking and propaganda, not so much. This is Central World today, you want to join and kick some tires? -

Smart Home automations - anybody using?
I love the idea of a smart home. I was starting a project with Sonoff gear in Texas just before I got called back to China on my GF's health issues. So don't take this question as dissing smart homes. I love the concept. Have you noticed anything hinky, as if Google is listening to you and steering you toward advertisements, etc? I see YouTubes where people will talk at home about (for example) kayaks, and the next time they get on their smartphone or PC, they get inundated with kayak ads. Has that happened to you? On the next level, is anyone monitoring their power with the current transformers (CTs) on each leg in the breaker box? I'm wondering if there's any "bestest" system for that? -

Trump Harris: Who won the debate ?
So you did not listen to the help for either the small businesses or for new borns? Best called selective listening, I understand -

Do you want President Harris to pardon Trump?
It has nothing to do with whether he is a former president or not. If you can't do the time don't do the crime. -

Early Release Scheme Hits Hurdles as Several Returned to Prison
He didn't even look for alternatives. He immediately settled on the easiest option because he is a moron. Jailing people for posting mean words on facebook is wrong on every possible level, even more so when real criminals have to be released early as there isn't enough space. Anyone who has an IQ in double figures would recognise that. -

Thailand's 5-20 Year Visa Now a Bit Cheaper
17% is fair. Above 25% start being outrageous. They have so many ways to make Thailand attractive with tax alone. Somehow, they make things super complicated. -

Trump Harris: Who won the debate ?
The thing is, while those claims have been debunked here, in the alternate universe that frank83628 inhabits, it's a real thing.- 2

Just what is life like in Rural Thailand- ever wondered ?
For me it was my choice during covid to escape "Prison" in Hua Hin, so we packed up and left for her hometown and her land. -

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
When referencing fires, if not distinguishing between PHEV (very high #s) & BEV (rare), then it would be deceptive if simply taking the total. They should also distinguish between ICEV fires, those reported stolen, vs simply parked by the owner or being driven at the time. Many, (all probably) insurance claims of stolen auto that end in a fire, are probably purposely set. Not fair to be lumped in with stats of auto fires.- 1

90-day report without physical passport book
Bit off topic, but very strange sending USA passport for renewal process (using mail) is required. AU citizens do not do this. The existing pp is not posted with the other docs. BTW for others...I did this few months back and it took 20 days from post to return
