Elderly British Man Injured in Electric Tricycle Crash in Pattaya
Which is then, cringe at older people with mobility issues, or cringe at people who can't afford their own driver... ... or just cringe at anyone less fortunate than yourself ?? IF places such as Pattaya have far better taxi services - perhaps they would not need these forms of transport to get about ... we don't see them in Bangkok.... ... so, why aren't you pointing the finger at poor transport options instead of these guys ? I think its great that such mobility is available for those who would otherwise suffer to get out and about - especially if the alternative is being house bound or heavily reliant on assistance. I'm sure being in traffic is a harrowing experience - but its not their fault Thailand has no pavements or unnavigable pavements... -

Egyptian Tourist Arrested for Sexual Assault in Luxury Condo Lift
It does not matter where this man is from, it does not matter if there are cultural differences, what matters is that there is never an excuse for physical sexual assault or non consensual groping. I suggest five years in a Thai prison where his fellow inmates will befriend him, and teach him how offensive uninvited groping truly is.- 2

Egyptian Tourist Arrested for Sexual Assault in Luxury Condo Lift
Something as simple as a sharp pencil can be very effective in these kinds of situations. It can be inserted into a wide range of bodily areas and can lead to massive reform of an errant, ignorant, abusive man who does not know how egregious his crime really is. It can change his life. -

Would Donald Trump’s tariffs hurt US consumers?
The assumption that tariffs will bring back manufacturing to the USA is unfounded. Supply chains and logistics, access to skilled and cost effective labour, and access to markets are the drivers of manufacturing location. Consumers forced the relocation of consumer goods to low cost countries because consumers refused to pay $25 for an item that they felt should cost $10. Manufacturers liked the profit margins. The USA did not have workers willing to work low wage manufacturing jobs. Even when the wages were good, the product quality was terrible. The US auto industry killed itself in the 1970's with its poor quality vehicles that ignored consumer desires. Consumers want the high quality Japanese vehicles and forcing them to pay more isn't going to help Chrysler or GM sell more of its crap. The United States Tariff Act of 1930, aka the Smoot-Hawley Tariff was an unmitigated economic disaster. It resulted in a catastrophic trade disruption and magnified the negative effects of the the Republican induced Great Depression. Prior to its implementation, more than 1,000 economists urged President Hoover to veto the Act, but he refused. In the words of the great US sage Yogi Berra, it's deja vu all over again, because economists are warning Trump not to impose tariffs. Broad tariffs implementation are anything but compatible with "free thought" and are not Democratic. On the contrary, they are hallmarks of dictatorships and of simplistic thinking when confronted with complex issues. If there are issues with alleged dumping or unfair trade practices, deal with them directly. Mass threats do not work and have never worked, because corrupt people will find away to work around the edicts. It is obvious that you haven't the slightest clue on anything. You are like those people in the US who claim they are Sovereign Citizens and recite mangled misinterpreted nonsensical legal references. You accuse proponents of liberalized equitable trade practice as being leftists, and yet you offer absolute support for tariffs. Broad tariffs and restrictive trade practices go hand in hand and they have never delivered the promised results in the USA. Anyone who disagrees is accused of being a "leftist".- 1

Cloud-connected inverters - should we be concerned?
Great..Im looking into same so i will check your updates on this. The re login several times per day to Growatt is quite annoying. So the Rasberry Pi and Solar Assistant will collect data from the inverters and then data can be loaded via IP on a pc? Pink
