  1. Your survey looks like an election ballot from North Korea. You might want to include the above option.
  2. How does Makita compare to Dewalt? About same spec and price?
  3. Mao did that in a slow year. CCP are the pro, when is comes to mass culling.
  4. Ha ha! You must have taken a double dose of commie propaganda sugar today. The incompetent west then developed groundbreaking new and very effective vaccines while the best of the best will full state support of the mighty CCP produced a vaccine that is best avoided if you want to stay alive. Democracy is a horrible system, but by a million miles it is by far the best system we have.
  5. They arrested some "citizens journalists", apparently treated them a bit rough, and generally Beijing prevented information from getting out of Wuhan in order to control the narrative.
  6. Ah, got it, but it is conveniently showing sold out for me.
  7. How are they getting away with this scam? Like magic 49 baht turn into 796 baht when you select size and color. https://s.lazada.co.th/s.V48P0
  8. I don't have first hand knowledge, but something can be done. I know of what couple, he is in China and she is in Thailand. They are using Wechat for money transfer, but they are using a middleman, a Chinese national in Thailand.
  9. I am OK with slow shipping, I kind of expect 1 month delivery time, but if the right item shows up after 2 months that is also fine. As long as I don't find a brick or a <deleted> in lieu of my spanner. I am new to AliExpress and currently have 12 orders pending. Based on your experience, I will not make any additional orders, until stuff starting to show up at my doorstep. Thanks for sharing by the way.
  10. What kind of scams or wrong doing have you experienced on AliExpress? Substandard or defect equipment? Empty boxes or no parcel at all? For anything bigger than a Keychain, I usually as the vendor a trivial question about the product. I only purchase if the answer is somewhat reasonable. Also I only buy from vendors that have a high'ish rating and only items that have been sold before and have a few 5-star reviews, usually with pictures. So far, I haven't been taken to the cleaner, yet.
  11. Oh boy! This is the same product from the same seller, just different sending location.
  12. By cheaper I was not referring to the cost of the free shipping, but the cost of the product. $19.32 from China Vs. $12.16 from Belgium. Yes, I am logged in with my Thai address.
  13. Not sure the IT forum is the right place for a question about online shopping, but hopefully the smart guys hang out here. When ordering from AliExpress you often have multiple shipping from options. Usually China is the cheapest, but as in the below shipping from the US and Belgium is even cheaper. Can you really order from Belgium or will it get caught up in customs? If you haven't used AliExpress before, it is basically the exact same format as Lazada, just all made in China stuff. Oddly enough, there seem to be fewer scams, copies and fakes on AliExpress compared to Lazada.
  14. How did you get "invited" to get vaccinated and what type of vaccine? I am under 50 and healty, no certificate was required when I got my jab. Once you are on the list, you will get vaccinated.
  15. Yes, he does spend many hours a PC color enhancing the images. This is his equipment list: Telescope: C8 edge hd + 0.7 reducer Camera: ZWO ASI294MM-Pro. Mount: Skywatcher EQ6 R Pro Focuser: ZWO EAF· ZWO Filter wheel ZWO filter Guidescope: Skywatcher EVOguide. Guiding camera: ZWO ASI120MM mini. ZWO ASIAIR Pro for control
  16. I agree. The moral high ground and fun factor of having solar is the primary reason I am considering it.
  17. That is a pretty desolate place, not even a palm tree to sit under. Since we are just dreaming, I would like a few days exploring Pitcain Island and walk in the footsteps of Fletcher Christian.
  18. Assuming $500 for that battery and an average of 1.5 kWh per cycle, the cost of the battery is nearly 3 baht/kWh, that is if the 4,000 cycle hold true. A hybrid system, sure ain't cheap, but it is the only option for me.
  19. Is there a breakdown in nationality of the foreigners that have perished?
  20. Yes, inverter. Sorry. Does the inverter also contain a BMS, to protect the batteries from being fully discharged?
  21. Why size and type of battery are you using? Also, what size and model of DC/AC transformer are you using?
  22. Is the below Dewalt cordless drill fake or the real deal? 1,390 baht for a 48V sound a bit odd, but are they really so blatantly selling brand name fakes on Lazada? https://s.lazada.co.th/s.eHWnM
  23. I have this 36 m3 tank to capture rain water for domestic consumption. What is the best way to monitor the water level? When full, the water level is 2.25 m, so the below 4-20 mA for a 0-5 m span would kind of do the job, but is there a way to capture the data to see seasonal variations in the water level. Some sort of app or data acquisition system? https://s.lazada.co.th/s.enY4R https://s.lazada.co.th/s.eNz2a
