Just saw a #YouTube video of a #detailer showing how to clean a snowfoam cannon, and someone from UK commenting "you should use citric acid for that (he is already using 25% acetic acid) it is safer. You can buy that from Asian shops"

The detailer is in #Indonesia 😁 (did the commenter not notice the accent, or even look at the creators profile?)

Digging the scene with the #gasoline : Former rally driver and #motoring journalist "Uncle" YS Khong from #Malaysia advises young #drivers how to save #petrol ( even though Malaysia has its own oil reserves and refineries, its still affected by #war in the #MiddleEast )

You can also hear #Malaysian English or #Manglish in this video 😁

The petrol stations in suburban Malaysia are larger and bigger than UK, and even have small restaurant areas with proper tables (my cousin said the food at them is very good, it is better than you would get here in Blighty)

After reading recently about an uncle getting clawed up last year by a panther/leopard whilst checking on his lorry in a highway layby, this does now make some sense as "Harimau" is a word for *any* big cat (panther / leopard / tiger) and they prowl a lot closer to the cities than I realised! #Malaysia #ESEA #tootSEA

Haiyaaa - this isn't /that/ far from where my relatives live!

The uncle had a lucky escape from a #panther / #leopard who clawed him after he took a rest stop when driving his lorry (this would be equivalent to being jumped by a big cat in a layby of the A14)

I didn't think you still had big cats that close to the cities..

It appears both #Indonesia and #Malaysia are able to ban #Grok but apparently without blocking the whole of #X / #Twitter (or at least without #Musk whinging about it).

How are they doing this? Is #Musk quietly working with these countries governments in return for letting the rest of X get through, and/or simply accepts they have the power do to this?

Both countries are somewhat theocratic Muslim majority nations which are not considered "free" by Western standards but with increasingly global power and plenty of natural resources

Electric Boating sollte sich 2026 von selbst verstehen. Diese Modelle helfen dabei – mal kompakt, mal auf zwei Rümpfen, oft als Langläufer.

TBH the young woman is doing far more honest, useful and socially beneficial work in the #tyre #garage her family set up than the AI, startup or blockchain stuff she was being trained for at #University

I was surprised the business was struggling, maybe roads in #Singapore are so much better than UK that tyres last much longer, or a lot of debt got tied up in stock, particularly #alloys (there were some high end brands like Oz on the stock list!)

Here in UK a tyre garage which also did alloy refurbs would be *really* popular

#Diplomacy has worked in SE Asia - a #ceasefire has been agreed between #Thailand and #Cambodia following peace talks in #Malaysia (I suspect Kuala Lumpur had far more of an impact on this than Trump - no one wants a war in their neighbouring countries!)
