EV Owners Frustrated as Samui Ferries Restrict EV Transport Over New Year Period
I'm not so sure about that either.... I think more knee jerk opinion than informed response is at play here. I've been in 'meetings' here... with owners of companies etc... The Pu-Yai speaks and everyone else agrees, thats that... ... this is why we see so many of these announcements in the first place... .... Big Boss says something and no one else is brave enough to stand up and say "Are you for real, thats ridiculous"... then we read the news of this policy, that policy etc.... and then debate the idiocy on here... BUT... lets say your 'insurance idea' is a genuine issue - why is this just for New Year only ? - that part makes no sense - and thus, IMO the insurance aspect to this discussion does not hold water (no pun). -

Do you wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle in Thailand?
I have never had an accident it Thailand. And with my defensive driving skills doubt if I ever will. You have, as recently as yesterday. The trick here is to be one step ahead and always be prepared. -

Help! As usual, am baffled by matters Electric [this time re. solar pump connection]
I'm having trouble in getting a solar submersible pump to operate - it is powered by a single 340W solar panel; and I want a switch/breaker between the panel and the pump to be able to turn it ON and OFF (the solar panel is attached to a pontoon that floats on my pond - and the breaker is installed on a post close to the bore). Solved the 1st challenge when there was no power making it to the Breaker - after one bad MC4 connection at the pontoon was fixed, achieved some 39.5V at the input side of the breaker when OFF. Inadvertently left the breaker ON when the connection was fixed and water was being pumped from the bore until I turned the breaker OFF and then ON again. Pumping ceased and would not restart when the breaker was reset to ON. The reading at the breaker having dropped to 6.1V. I thought there must be a problem with the breaker so I tried another one today with similar results [initial reading of 39.7V which dropped to 11.2V after the breaker was switched from OFF to ON]. The attached photos shows both breakers tried to date - the Red being the 1st tried, and the Green being the one tried today. Greatly appreciate any & all advice - do I need just a simple switch rather than a breaker????? [seems a little odd as I installed a breaker (CHNT NXB-63) between another identical solar panel and a floating fountain pump, and all is going swimmingly (!) so far]. Thanks! -

Starmer Faces a Crucial Decision: Sack Reeves or Risk Political Collapse
No the absence of a time limit for granting Royal Assent is not the key. Granting of Royal Assent is a formality. The Monarch acts on the advice of his Ministers. To unduly delay granting Royal Assent, when presented by a bill which had the support of the Government, would be akin to withholding consent. It hasn't happened since the beginning of the 18th century and there is no reason to suppose that it will happen anytime soon. As others have pointed out, withholding Royal Assent would provoke a constitutional crisis and if the King were to unduly delay signing a bill it would have the same effect. These are opinions by individual contributors to the Guardian. There are many such contributions; some supportive of the government, others less so. https://www.theguardian.com/uk/commentisfree Personally, I'd give it a year/ 18 months before starting to form any conclusions. I thought that "people have had enough of experts"? Wasn't that the view of Michael Gove (and his cabinet colleagues)? Still, personally I'm glad that economists are back in favour. I just hope that they are wrong on this occasion. -

EV Owners Frustrated as Samui Ferries Restrict EV Transport Over New Year Period
I think for the sake of argument this boat would have extremely limited fire-safety equipment. At a guess - it would have a handful of 'Fire hoses'.... (reliant on sea water) - given its age I wonder if the valves are corroded and how often its tested. I doubt it has a full deluge system in the car-bay, and again, given its age I wonder if the valves are corroded and how often its tested. I wouldn't hold much faith in the ability of either the staff (which aren't many) or the equipments to handle a regular ICE car fire very well before is spreads out of control in such tightly packed confines of a car bay. I hold no faith whatsoever that the ability of either the staff or the equipments to handle an EV car fire at all. I think the ICE vs EV car fire on such a vessle becomes moot - because if either occurs - IMO the event is likely to be catastrophic and unmanageable.... .... and this is why I believe probability comes into it - and realistically the probability of a Hybrid, ICE or EV fire on board this boat for the short duration of crossing is incredibly small and sufficiently low not to warrant concern at all.
