13 times more likely to be an ICEV than an EV139 times more likely to be an HEV than an EV.
Which means it could have been an EV, as they do catch on fire.....🤭
It is hilarious that 2 EV owners above (not hotchilli) have come on to protect their EV rides when EV's haven't been mentioned, plus, it doesn't look like an EV fire.................😂

It has been in the 40's in my garden....To hot to venture into for the first time ever.
All temperatures taken for records of air temperature are taken in the shade. Any temperature gauges that are recording temperatures in the sun will be affected by the sun's radiation and the temperature during that period will appear significantly hotter
I go by my electric shower, during this heatwave, it has not been turned on, because the water is coming out very warm, that is the first time in 17 years at this house........😋

The information so far is that the attack was mainly composed of drones, something that Iran is reputed to have 000's of thousands of. They are not difficult to launch - especially when you have days to prepare for it. The Iranian Consulate in Syria was attacked on 1 April, Tehran's attack on Israel was 2 weeks later.
Russia is trying to launch missiles in a completely different situation. Although Ukraine's capability is severely depleted, it still fires back.

No, it wasn't mainly drones...........🤔

300 is a minute percentage of the stocks of conventional missiles and drones they hold. They are also widely reputed to have over 3000 ballistic missiles.
Why waste them to achieve nothing, why not 50 to achieve nothing.....🤗

In fairness, the main reason the attack failed was because Iran had more or less stated what they were going to do - days beforehand. Israel has an effective missile defence system and its allies in the region have been on high alert for months with both US and UK naval vessels constantly monitoring the skies. However, even with that capablity, an unannounced attack would most likely have resulted in more damage.
Had the Iranian attack been spontaneous and done more damage, that would have most likely lead to an immediate and probably sustained response by Israel. Iran may have hundreds of thousands of missiles but it does not have the sophisticated defence systems that the Isarelis have - they know very well that they can't defend themselves against such an attack.
Iran acted because in the eyes of its 'brothers', it had to be seen to respond to the attack on its Consulate in Syria. Whilst Israel have not admitted responsibility for that attack, it is widely speculated on as having carried it out.
The Iranian public are fed propaganda constantly and I doubt many will know that they could not stand up to a sustained attack by Israel. As was seen in news footage following the strike on Israel, the capital was full of chest beating Iranian government loyalists who will, I have no doubt, been fed an entirely different story on the efficacy of their attack on Israel.
The Iranian attack appears to have been more symbolic than anything else. If you tell a bank you're going to rob it, they'll put their security on high alert.
I would have thought the Western countries involved are continuously tracking the sky's for any eventuality, do you think they take anything Iran says seriously, no, the West will be doing its own thing.
Why send 300+, instead of say, 50 to make a point. The 300+ cost a lot of money, plus they told their "believers", it was a successful raid.........🤭

Iran has crossed the line countless times, but it's an election year, and at least until after the election, Biden is going tobe lot more concerned about the price of gasoline in the US than he is about the lives of few million Jews halfway around the World.
We will see, perhaps ol' Joe ain't that bothered about the election, probably had enough, anyhooooo....🤭

If those 300+ Iranian airborne stuff had not been intercepted, what would the carnage have been........😱
Iran didn't send a couple over to make a point, they sent a lot of money in hardware to do a job which failed via steadfast support and tech..
Iran has crossed the line, or should I say, the religious nuts have crossed the line, not those Iranians that want to live a peaceful life........

Yes, of course. But it still is abnormal for it to be blown so far out of proportion, even with it being a doctor, and should have been dealt with in the police station. Yeah, it would have been more expensive than usual, but the police could likely have persuaded her, but more than likely they were in fear of getting in trouble from some stupid, outsized ego, doctor. They had no balls to get it done, kowtowed to the doctor, and it became a nightmare. I'd be willing to place a wager that her ego is off the charts. The situation has become completely absurd.
It is not a nightmare for the aggrieved and her farangy partner....🤗
Any of us, in the Land of Smiles, should think first, before lashing out, especially a farangy with business interests...........

In the 50 years I have been doing extensions at this office, I have never been approached or coached to use an agent to get around the standard requirements for an extnension of the permit to stay.
I would like to see any member of this Forum to present a first-hand report of bribing an officer at Immo Division 1 in order to get around the financial (or other) requirements for an extension of stay.
Waiting...
Not many can beat your 50 years of extensions......

The next step should be the total destruction of ALL the Israeli nuclear weapons and facilities.
Great idea, leave the gate open for the Iranian terrorist country...🙄
Why do you think your small home country is secure without using their nuclear arsenal.....?..

4 minutes ago, dinsdale said:Same as last year? Year before? I'm not saying it isn't hot. It is. That's why it's called the hot season also known as the dry season because it doesn't rain much. Occasional hot season storm is about it. Again it's not a heatwave. It's average hot season temps. Nothing out of the ordinary. Just hot. Mid to high 30's - low 40's. Standard April temps. If it's low 40's to mid to high 40's then, yes, heatwave may apply if it's an extended period.
It is not the same as last year, or the year before, in fact I have been in my house for 17 years, this is the first time I have noticed a real difference in temp...
It has been in the 40's in my garden....To hot to venture into for the first time ever.
You need to take notice of folk on the ground, not your keyboard, as you did with Covid.....

Are you sure it is silicone and not an acrylic sealer...?
But, in the DIY store there are a zillion to choose from, look at the more expensive brand name ones....😋

But as you participated in the discussion yesterday, you already know this is irrelevant. Consulates, embassies and any buildings on an embassy's or consulate's compound (an annex) are inviolable under international law.
Do consulates run as private enterprise, can they do what they like, hide/shield who they like. I don't know, but I am sure you will clarify for me......😉

As I said already in numerous posts, Iran is the head of a snake that sponsor, finance and facilitate world-wide
terrorism and OPENLY calls and acts for the inhalations and destruction of another country, something that unheard of
among civilised countries, and as such, they should be dealt severely and by full force, no punishment is too much
and just the US restrain Israel from using its ultimate weapons of judgement day that Israel is not using them...
Your first para, I find it strange that some here don't understand that.
But then again, it is probably that they don't want to understand it, because of their own personal agenda......

Car fire at Bangkok temple parking spurs emergency response

In the UK, 300 per day out of 41,000,000 rides, and I guess most start via electricity, as most cars are not switched off even if the ignition is turned off....😋
