  1. The bigger question is what piss poor planning had them put in place and then not used.
  2. Some interesting points about rental EV's made in this article. Hertz CEO out following electric car ‘horror show’ ... But the problem for Hertz wasn’t necessarily that the cars were electric, and customers simply do not want to drive electric cars. The problem was how Hertz handled the fleet in general, according to industry analysts. “The execution and marketing of EV’s [by Hertz] was a horror show across the board,” said Daniel Ives, an analyst with Wedbush Securities who follows the EV market. “It’s a black eye they couldn’t recover from.” Part of the problem for Hertz was that even people who might want to buy an EV wouldn’t necessarily want to rent one while on the road, when they don’t necessarily have the ability to plug them in to charge them as they would at a private home. There might not be a charging station, or enough time, for a rental car customer to charge an EV, Ives said. By hewing to charging rules the way Hertz has enforced refueling rules, it may have dissuaded customers from wanting to rent an electric car. Without building any charging infrastructure at its rental locations, Hertz may have hurt its own business. “They don’t want to go 20 minutes out of their way at five in the morning to find a charging station,” Ives said. ... Even without the drop in value of the cars it bought, Hertz struggled with collision and damage repairs on an EV running about twice that associated with a comparable combustion engine vehicle, Scherr told investors on a 2023 call. ...
  3. I was curious as to how one would contact a PA mod if you couldn't log on, but I see there's a pop up message when you go to the PA website with a "contact us" link. Using that link you should be able to message the mods with your board name and email address so they can help with getting you logged back on to PA.
  4. Sure would like to know who took the gun out of the holster, and when.
  5. I don't know if you're a fan of GC's, but quite a few have opened since you were last here. Depending on your proclivities, lots of fun to be had at the various clubs.
  6. I've occasionally used TeamViewer on my son's computer back in the States to avoid having my Thai IP address logged.
  7. I was wondering too if perhaps they were fearful of their own lives to do what they did. Might be more to this story than what's being made public.
  8. I'm always on the lookout for different types of gifts to bring back to the States on my annual visits. Those sauce and curry packets would make for a great gift and wouldn't take up much luggage space.
  9. I was wondering what those advertisements for two lady four hand massage was about. Now I know.
  10. Yep, something definitely got lost in the translation, or more likely mangled Tinglish trying to pronounce the name. Still seems an odd name for a bar unless there's some meaning behind Estobest that I'm not aware of.
  11. When the pool is full have you ever tried the quick access method to the pool from that window?
  12. @ChiFlyer, weren't you at one time thinking of going solar for a pool water heater? I would hazard a guess at this latitude it would be a lot more cost effective than an electric or gas pool heater.
