Re: Music - what are people listening to now?

The Elton John and Dua Lipa song immediately bought bad memories of Jive Bunny and the Mixmasters from 1989! i.e. several classics all linked together with the same disco beat.

Not a style I ever wanted to hear again... but each to his/her own!

Re: Electric Cars

A recent article I read recently said that the performance of batteries in EVs starts to deteriorate after 600 to 800 charging cycles.

for anyone who already has an EV:

Does the manual talk about battery life. If so, what does it say?

What is the approx. cost of a replacement battery?

Re: Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

The above article fails to state how humans have caused this minute increase in ocean temperature.

Can "altered winter-spring precipitation" really be blamed on us?

If it can, surely the article should say so!
