Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

Sodium? It's bad enough finding lithium, where will they ever find enough sodium? /sarc Do some research!! Sodium is 1000 times more abundant than lithium, potentially reducing supply chains and lowering battery costs, Tarascon says. Other advantages of sodium-ion batteries include high power, fast...

Re: Climate change could force Thailand to move its capital

Even though it's expected to be inundated:

"Bangkok (would) still be the government capital, but move the business."

Sounds like a good plan.

There are also new Doctor Who episodes running though it may be a little too woke for me these days.
In that case probably no chance for Dead Boy Detectives then. [emoji3525]

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

Is there not a good chance that if/when the world doesn't need oil anymore, the lithium producers will become all-powerful, and put stupid prices on lithium? We've seen the oil giants control prices for years. Will it not be human nature to see similar controls put on the mining of lithium? There a...

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading

Dark Matter I've just started the second of 3 seasons (13 episodes each) of this excellent (IMO) sci-fi show. Note the date as another sci-fi series of the same name has recently started on Apple TV+. Six people wake up on a spaceship in the farthest corner of space with their memories wiped off. H...

Re: 30฿ Healthcare - National Registration

Wonder why only 2 fixed dates for registration at Hua Hin, but any normal working day at Takiab.

Re: Fitbit or similar worn smart devices

I've been using the Amazfit BIP (original, they're now up to version 3) and for what I paid for it, I'm pretty happy. It's a cheap and cheerful one, but does have built-in GPS and a heart rate monitor with alarm settings. It will also display messages when linked with your phone and has a 3 week ba...

Re: Thai Minimum Wage Increase

Who actually polices payment of minimum wage. I've seen all of the minimum wage for 10 provinces raising to 400฿/day propaganda. However, I still see advertisement after advertisement on Social Media offering jobs in Hua Hin for between 300 and 350฿/day. How do they get away with it? I think the mi...

Re: Thai internet speed problems

There was/is a cable break somewhere west of Singapore. Cable name is SEA-ME-WE 5. This will only affect international traffic though.
