  1. Trade actions are NEVER permanent and the CCP seem to have no qualms throwing Tencent, Alibaba and Jack Ma under the bus in the name of total control. Isolating China will just give wind in their sails to create an Yuan based global economy as an alternative to the dollar.
  2. China don't really need a good missile defense system, the West is not the aggressor and they know the West will never have the stomach to carpet bomb Shanghai or Beijing with nuces. China will wait until some big earthquake hit Taiwan, then pour PLA resources on the island under the pretext they are helping their compadres. The West will protest in the strongest language possible, but they will just meet a stonewall of lies from China.
  3. I see, have to zoom in to see the color codes. Looks all green north of Chumphon. Small red patches to the south.
  4. How often do you change tires on these small bikes? I got 9000 km on the Aerox now and the rear tire only have thread left on the sidewalls. Is Michelin City Grip 2 the way to go?
  5. The 1.25 ohm make sense and when added up probably mostly come from the 300 m run from the genset. 60 m x 10 mm2 = 0.12 km x 1.7 = 0.2 ohm 300 m x 16 mm2 = 0.6 km x 1.1 = 0.66 ohm Since we are getting connected to government power, there is an option to lay new and larger cable for the 300 m run, but at a cost of course. Still considering it, but not sure it is actually worth the effort.

  7. All they have to do is build a model of a fresh market in China and press enter. Dr. Marr said the simulation might eventually allow scientists to predict the threat of future pandemics.
  8. Only $157 per tourist, fairly modest. Da Nang received more than 8.6 million visitors in 2019 and earned revenues of VND31 trillion from tourism.

  10. The Papillion might not be grand, but he still has a point. Many moons ago a 84 m2 unit was sold for 3.8 million with 24 years left on the lease. Do the math and suddenly the 64 m2 unit with 5.5 years left should sell for 663.5 k. Are you really getting the fire sale you think you are? Maybe we should have coffee one day?
  11. USB Length Limits Now that we understand the different USB types, it’s time to talk about length limits. Right out of the box, a USB 2.0 cable can be as long as 5 meters (about 16 feet). Of course, this length is rarely sold, and you’ll sometimes need to use an extension cable or connector. This is just fine, but keep in mind that this 5-meter limit is still in effect. In other words, you can connect a 6-foot cable to a 10-foot cable, and everything will be fine. The overall length of the cable is 16 feet. However, if you connect a 10-foot cable to a 10-foot cable, it isn’t going to work. The overall length will be 20 feet, which is too long for USB 2.0. USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 connection types have the same rating, and it’s a bit of an oddball. In theory, there’s no actual “maximum.” However, if you go beyond 3 meters (about 10 feet), your signal will start to degrade. The longer you extend the cable, the lower the speed and the less power it will provide. This gives you a little bit of wiggle room if all you’re doing is sending a signal. For example, if you need to send a security camera feed, a 20-foot run is probably doable, assuming minimal interference. On the other hand, if that feed is a 4K camera with two-way audio, you might have an issue. And if that camera requires the USB cable for power, you’re definitely going to have trouble. How to Extend USB Length So, you can use an extension cable to run a longer cable, but the length is limit. Is there a way to stretch that even further? Absolutely! However, you need to have a separate, powered device in order to boost the signal. There are two ways of doing this. First, you could use an active extension cable, sometimes called a repeater cable. Second, you could use a powered USB hub. So, which one of these methods is going to be the most effective for your network? Here’s a quick overview of how they both work. https://nerdtechy.com/usb-maximum-length
  12. The US seem to coexist fine next to an even bigger country, despite they engage in all kind of silly activities and dress their police force like below. China should do the same, mind their own business and leave Taiwan as the free and democratic country they are.
  13. Mega Plaza. You can take the MRT. https://www.inspirock.com/thailand/bangkok/mega-plaza-a6374755583?scroll=1240.888916015625&expand_plans=12
  14. The world have seen braindead leaders before, so be careful when you say never. CCP might give it a try while they sit it out in their 3,000 miles of tunnels. In December 2009, just as the students began making progress, the Chinese military admitted for the first time that the Second Artillery had indeed been building a network of tunnels. According to a report by state-run CCTV, China had more than 3,000 miles of tunnels — roughly the distance between Boston and San Francisco — including deep underground bases that could withstand multiple nuclear attacks. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/georgetown-students-shed-light-on-chinas-tunnel-system-for-nuclear-weapons/2011/11/16/gIQA6AmKAO_story.html
  15. I agree the meter to house cable will stay as it is. We are getting off the community genset and away from 30 baht/kwh to real government power, so trying to balance cost of connecting 20 houses and avoiding annoying voltage drop. 35 mm2 sounds like the right choice.
