" Sooo many ignorant bystanders are a joke and continue to offer ill advice and opinions.!!! The charging port plugs are locked as Bandersnatch says. Regardless, who would be brave enough to cut the live cable even to steal the few metres of copper wire? because thats all they would get, if they survived.

Well said KhunLA (MG icon):- "Mind boggling the ignorance of the non EV owners preaching their BS to EV owners. " We didn't choose and MG EV for certain reasons, partly financial, but instead a Japanese E.V. made in U.K of all places. 🙃

O.M.G. what a hot topic and certain un-involved negative whigers are getting their nickers in knots. It's horses for courses. Our E.V. is great for our lots of town running. Only 270km range but charging at home (which also happens to be off grid solar) is too easy. Luv it greatly especially driving past the high petrol price signs. If petrol I.C.E. are only 15% efficient(?) and with all their idling in traffic, then maybe less than 15 cents per dollar is usable. In our two-vehicle family, one original lovely petrol ute (made in Thailand) takes second place now for the occasional heavy and long distace stuff and thats fine. Bring on the Thai made E.V's for whom they suit and let the negative whingers keep to them selves. None of their business.

Surely a bigger question is why the necessity for any escalation of Naval power? What country/s does Thailand need to attack or defend? Stinks of non-neutrality.

Halloween:- the ever increasing activity and publicity on so much crap is just one indicator just how sick human society has sunk to.

Hope the mods dont delete his post as Bangkok Barry suggested. Let the truth come out. It's in our face that he's off his face, and how many thousands like that are driving on our roads? Didn't Thailand already have one of the worst road casualty rates?

(Thaksin Shinawatra, the former Prime Minister, is undergoing treatment outside prison. ) You bet. and even Blind Freddy can see its the red carpet treatment.

Sounding like another reason to criminalise it because it was always believed to lead to the next step:- heroine. He is not talking strait so he is unlikely to be driving straight.

Something amiss there when Tak's sin gets him a only few hours in jail.

No, No, No and No. 1. A big bathroom type fan may remove humid air from the inside but will suck in potetially equally humid air from the outside, 2. the cold side of a peltier roughly equals the hot side so there's little net gain in heat, 3. the small fan uses VERY little power and 4. an alternative tube is usually provided to drain water to another big bucket nearby.

So true "P" but even with a nice Coeffient Of Performance, air/con cost more to run versus a fan to sleep and a quiet 100watt dehumidifier in each of the 2 rooms he referred to. JVS might need to do the sums hey.

A long time friend died a very very painful death recently from Parkinsons. He opted for the "morphine relief" for his end but was still in incredible pain apparently. Voluntary Assisted Dying is available in some countries.

The unit recommended by two posts above look good if they actually are 2000 baht, but being only 555mm high and looking taller than the bed is more lies. At least Trippy is happy with them and their 10.5 kg packaged weight suggests quality internals. https://shopee.sg/SONGJING-SJ-121E-12L-Day-Dehumidifier-Up-to-12-month-SG-Warranty-3-pin-SG-Plug-i.10233884.4641880747

I bought this one that claimed to be 90watts (admittedly not a big one) but it was actually only 60 watts consumption as measured so their claims for certains size rooms are also suspect. Supplier was nice enough, offered a price reduction but I couldnt be bothered. Liars. It worked to a degree given the fairly low humidity and confident would be much better in L.O.S. Internally the same principle as the cheap camping coolers and use one thermo electric peltier device. One other supplier of same type even claimed to be a compresor type, same price, same liars. Now my seller below posts "sale ended", but beware.. there were other ads for this same unit. Just need two units instead of one for every large room? try two first? and you could be happy. Gives humidity/temp readings. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/314197720360

P said has limited skills but good on your encouragement "atpeace". There could be 2nd hand 240Watt panels dirt cheap out there from solar installers upgrading systems to 300 watt (or bigger) panels.

That seems irelevant to the proposed question by P parallaxtech Sure a simple Grid Tie Inverter "shouldnt" run if not synchronised with the blacked out grid it is tied to, but a hybrid system with a battery will, so will an off grid system typically running an inverter from batteries that have been charged from solar, so will a non-solar mains charged system T.M. suggested in reply to the topic question by P. "I could be wrong and I often am"

Good on your encouraging advice Willi but beware folks, there's a nice off grid Queenswing inverter that works from solar panels and claims to work without a battery. Yes it does rather nicely, until the first cloud comes along to drop the input volts below 120V, then it goes to a fault mode, fair enough, BUT a battery voltage then needs to be verified as fully charged, and until then, it stays in fault mode. So with no battery it then needs to be manually reset, after every cloud, depending on:- 1. the power available from panels to keep the volts above 120v, versus:- 2. the cloud density versus:- 3. the inverter output load level. With no load and all cloud variations, even quite overcast, it works well all day. ????

TM's suggestion re a mains-charged battery bank on standby was refreshingly unique, practical and economical. Just question this:- "a couple used car batteries 1,000 baht and a simple Lazada inverter 1.5kw 1,500 baht. A car battery charger at about 500 baht." The reliability of used car batteries could be disappointing just when needed? and be careful about the charger quality that must settle on a suitable float voltage, say 13.8V?. Research yourself. "A couple" could infer a series (24v. messy with just one 12v charger) or parallel (12v) connection depending on inverter's requirement. Either way one suspect 'used car battery' could let the system down. Mmmm messy. Invest in brand-new and identical batteries. Size? Deep cycle? Forward plan into future solar possibilities? Is any grid getting more reliable? Research. An accurate/reasonable multimeter to check float volts and emergency load volts re over discharge risk, but inverters often have low input-volts dropout. Research. Cheap smaller inverters usually dont tolerate some load surges, e.g. the start current of a 1000w water pump (600W is more typical size,) but not likely on low emergency loads with T.M.'s suggested (LED?) lights and fan, but beware some cheapies with their impure A.C. output may not treat sensitive electronic loads kindly e.g. computers . Research. Some inverter type petrol generators warn about this. Configuiring a stand-alone connection access to only T.M.'s emergency type loads on to the inverter circumvents undesirable loads/overloads, and easy initiation by family e.g just go for the inverter's DC input switch. Overall great idea T.M.

Bit like how snakes have a forked tongue. ???? Actually, the original tail probably only became half detatched and still has some circulation. Still very novel hey.

Didnt you hear? It was a vasectomy. ????

There is/was a south pacific airline that charged by the weight of the passengers as a standard thing.

So whatever was Tak's Sin, money talks providing a monopoly so you can get out of jail scott free. Too late for action appearing to appease the nation re the big bird that has flown. Again:- watch this space.

Oh no ! My worst fears for the future look like a reality in the making.

The "thin skin" could/should have been aimed at the manufacturer. Most toothpastes contain a frothing industrial cleaning agent Sodium Laurel Sulphate that should not be on anyones skin, or ingested with medications and some people are more suseptable to SLS than others, especially gum irritation. It is dangerous. Look up the safety data sheets. Now it goes disguised under at least 6 different names. Childrens eyes are at risk, not just as topical eye exposure, but systemically when their skin is exposed to SLS. Johnson and Johnson were proposing to sue another company that claimed their Talcum baby power was giving women ovarion cancer from the Talc ingredient. Instead, years later thousands of women are now successfully sueing J&J $squillions because of their ovarian cancer and by now the production of that existing product was due to cease. Their different formula quietly came into being many years ago and not comntaing talc. So good on that lady for speaking up about a reaction to that toothpaste. The brand name did not seem to be in the full story? but regardless, look for yourself on any ingredients list, which is usually only on the packet, not the tube.

So many out there effiectively said "watch this space". From 8 years to only 1 year now! Just watch this space.
