Tramadol is probably the least addictive of the opiods/opiates.

If you take low-dose tramadol regularly, it will lose effectiveness. Stopping it and restarting will regain some effectiveness but not as much as when you first started it.

When you stop it abruptly, you will feel irritable and restless, and may get some generalised pain or other nerve symptoms like itchiness for 2-3 days.

For this reason, it is not ideal for long-term pain management.

M2P_CPU has lower latency,  install your boot disk there. You don't need the heatsink. Heatsinks are only important for sustained writes which neither of your disks are suitable for.

The subject is about burning while parking. By far the majority of ICE vehicles catch fire ???? due to collision. 

EV's Achilles heel os that they spontaneously combust while parked, more so while charging. 

I also fear we have some dangerous and possible fatal EV parking lessons ahead of us. Time will tell.

 

Well that's not true, from NFPA data for ICE vehicles:

47% due to mechanical failure or malfunction

21% due to electrical failure or malfunction

7% intentional

6% due to fire exposure

4% due to collision

2% due to smoking

I don't think you realise how big the difference is, an ICE vehicle is more likely to burn in the few minutes looking for a car space than an EV is to burn in a hour of charging.

Heat-pipes are usually found in highest performance PCs (gaming, video-processing etc.).

Almost all SFF PCs and laptops use heat pipes these days because they can be used to move heat away from the CPU to an area where it's easier to run airflow through when space is at a premium.

You don't need to clean them though, they're sealed. For cleaning everything else, just get a can of compressed air, open up the system and use it to blow all the dust away.

I have just bought an new SSD and an external SSD for this very purpose.

 

But I have a few questions.  If you install an OS on the external usb drive, what about all of the required drivers tp run the PC?

 

Can I ghost the SSD inside my PC (with OS and programs) to an external USB SSD?

 

And if yes, could I then take the SSD out of the USB housing and put it back into the PC to use in the event that the current SSD inside the PC fails?

 

 

The required drivers when installing onto a USB disk are the same as on a normal internal disk. They'll just automatically install if your OS is the latest Windows 11 version. You don't need any additional drivers to install Windows over USB unless you're using an older version or your USB port runs through something that does require drivers (e.g. a Thunderbolt hub).

Note that Windows will only install onto a fixed disk over USB and will not install onto removable media like SD cards or USB flash drives (there are workarounds though).

Yes you can mirror your disk onto a USB disk, make sure to copy the hidden UEFI partition if you want to be able to just stick it into the PC to boot up.

Yes it can be done but it's a bad idea.

Memory cards aren't designed for long term storage. If left unpowered, the data will be lost after a period of time.

The way people do it is a centralised storage system called a NAS. You store your films on there, then your mobiles/tablets/computers can all access it from there.

When installing windows:

Press Shift+F10

Type diskpart

list disk

for every disk on the list that isn't the disk you want to boot from and the usb stick you're installing from, type:

sel # (where # is the disk number in the list)

offline disk

Then just install Windows normally.

When you're in windows, press Start E

Right click This PC, click Properties

Go to system properties

Click Performance > Advanced

Page File

Set to manually adjusted

Set an amount equivalent to half your RAM capacity on the boot drive, make sure it's disabled on all other drives.

This should prevent Windows from using your other disk for anything critical.

No. The reason I said it was because it doesn't happen.

Yes it does. There are many ways Windows will automatically try to use your other disk for system stuff.

 - If the disk you install Windows to is already fully formatted, but there is another drive which has unformatted space, Windows will put the UEFI and recovery partitions onto the other drive.

 - If your boot disk does not have at least 50% of your RAM size as free space when you boot into a default Windows configuration, but you have another disk which does, Windows will put the Page File onto the other disk.

Tramadol is readily available from pharmacies and can calm her down on a temporary basis while you seek better help. It's very mild and she should be able to live her life normally on it. It's addictive and only ideal for short term use though.

If you're willing to try herbal remedies, cannabis indica a safer alternative and is more broadly effective. She won't be able to function well on it though as it dulls the senses and makes it difficult to think.

I should add, try at your own risk, a small percentage of people react badly to the above suggestions.

AIS 5G means some mobile (phone) plan?

 

I have 3BB (1000/500) since years and it's reliable and fast.

Can't comment on True but just from reading here it sounds like a lot of complaints.

 

Those who are the "masters" of international fiber lines are the former ToT and CAT.

Now merged to NT (National Telecom). I don't know whether they do individual fiber to the home. ToT did.

 

Can we repeat your measurements?

 

That's what I get for "Telstra, Sydney" with OOKLA:

 

AIS 5G was via their 5G router (the plan is the same as a mobile plan but through a router).

Yes my measurements were with Ookla to Telstra Melbourne.

It's very variable, this morning was 100/0.3, now is 271/3

your problem is your location, not international bandwith. Thai international internet has bben bullet proof for years now. If the infrastucture is <deleted> though, you are gong to have inconsistent service. 

It was my location with AIS 5G, but not with True. I get good speeds domestic servers with True, just international is slow.

this is what i get with AIS

 

locally my connection is a bit slow today, but not sos you would actually notice during use:

That's very good, is that just IS Fibre? The normal consumer plan?

So I was with AIS 5G before but it was just unusably unreliable (not specific to international traffic but probably specific to my location).

I just signed up for True 500/500 fibre plan and yesterday speeds were decent (200/50 to Australia), but today they're down at 100/0.3 with repeated drop outs.

Is there a more reliable option? I don't mind paying commercial rates if it means guaranteed international throughput.

Why do you need so many 2.5Gbps links? Two links is enough not to bottleneck your disks. One link is enough to watch your "entertainment" in 4K.

Might be easier to change your name to Perer.

Because western countries need extra unskilled labour.

Thailand does not.

Avoid the 5 series. The 5 and 7 series are fleet-buyer cars so they're very common on the secondary market (in 5 years you'll have a car that's no more special than a new Camry). The 7 series at least differentiates on price being the cheapest full-sized saloon available in Thailand. The 5 series is pointless for individuals.

Generally you get the 2/3/4/6 here for personal use although the 3 is very common too. The 2/4/6 look more aggressive and the extra premium you pay will probably be made up for with less depreciation.

Should've just paid the 500 baht for a medically unfit doctor's report.

There in lies the problem. 

 

Taxes are way too high for the regular person to buy a new truck or car here.   They have to rely on riding scooters, rain or shine. 

 

Dangerous!

There isn't enough road capacity for everyone to have cars.

So I raised the issue at the AGM. One of the committee members got very angry and called me a few Thai insults (he's a farang) and said he would kick me out of the building if he could. I've never met him before so I have no idea what he was so angry about.

The owners however ruled unanimously to remove the fine so I got a happy ending.

The only real claim they could have is, if something you did has caused damage in the order of 6,000 baht.

 

If it is a fine for just violating a rule, and this rule is not in the bylaws, they have no case, OTOH if the JPM is serious about not signing your certificate of no debt, it’ll probably cost you more than 6,000 baht to pursue this issue legally.

 

Who actually issued the fine? JPM? Management? Committee?

 

And very curious about how you can get a fine when you do not live in your condo. This is not about something you caused? E.g. letting pigeons or rats nest in the unit or something like that.

So I've got some clarification.

There is a rule pertaining to the internal use of the condos which I was accused by a resident of breaking, but I obviously wasn't as I don't live there. It's a rule that's impossible to prove because it doesn't affect other tenants and pertains to the use of one's own condo so there's no way they can prove it (unless you do it on the balcony or something). The new rule is being proposed in order to make the first rule enforceable by limiting what can be brought into the condo building. The reason they thought they could fine me was because I was accused of breaking the first rule.

Juristic asked me to declare at the AGM that I'm not breaking the first rule and told me that the account can be adjusted later.

What is it they accused you of doing? 

Just don't see how a new rule can be applied retrospectively.

What's the full story? Bad history? Seems like you upset someone.

I don't want to go into too much details on fear of being identified, but I do feel like I've upset someone too but have no idea who or why as I've never actually lived at the property (I inherited it from my late father and I've just been using it for storage).
