I have to admit I prefer too big and happy compared to all those people who watch their diet and can't eat this and that and not more than a little, etc. Enjoy your life and eat what you want. We will all die. And at least I prefer to die happy with my favorite food.

I have 200W 24V power supplies connected to LED controllers which are connected to several LED strips. The LED controllers have several fuses like above. If there is a shortcut in one of the strips the fuse will cut that connection - at least if the fuse works the way it should work. Something like this:

Thanks, Crossy. In the second video the Swiss engineer shows such charts from Bosch automotive fuses.

Obviously, we all have ideas what might have happened. But I find it always amazing that within 10 comments we have at least three who are sure what must have happened - and all have different stories. Amazing!

And you can see all that in the article above? Amazing. I thought one of the ladies gave him a BJ under the table and she added that to the bill. But I admit I might be wrong.

Obviously the truck driver should have seen him and move out of the way. Isn't that obvious?

It seems Daikin and Mitsubishi (there are two Mitsubishi) have consistently good reputations. So, I wanted one of them. And I wanted a model with Wi-Fi control which I can integrate in my home automation. Daikin has Wi-Fi controlled ACs. I bought 4 of them and I am happy with them. And especially now I love the fact that I can turn them on when I am 10min away from home so when I arrive it's wonderfully cool. 😉

Yes, but if you are lucky the cables and breaker are still good enough for the higher load. Check in the manual! Sample: In the manual of my new 18000 BTU Daikin it shows 6.4Amp.

I saw these videos today about low quality fuses. Louis puts 8A through a 2A fuse and the fuse does not blow. Bad. See yourself! I will now check my AliExpress fuses which I use for my LED lights.

I know a rich guy who was a couple of years in a prison in a neighbor country. When he came out of prison and moved back to his luxury apartment in Thailand, he didn't use the aircon for many months. He was used to the hot climate and no AC.

Good point. I remember a guy who was the top boos in a big international company. He had a top of the line 7 series BMW. And it seems sometimes he had to wait for parts because BMW Thailand didn't have them in stock. At some time a motorcycle crashed against and open rear door. He needed a new door. BMW told him it will take over a month to get one. That's when he/his company sold the car and he decided to buy some Toyota or something like that with everything available in Thailand... Personally, I had a Japanese motorcycle which was private imported from Japan. I often waited for parts. Annoying - at least if you have just one vehicle.

It seems the police avoid stopping luxury cars because they don't want to be in conflict with influential people. I guess most thieves will follow that rule.

And maybe, just maybe, younger people want a different GUI than guys who are used to typewriters.

When WYSIWYG was a new invention I worked with Ami Pro. I knew every detail of that program and it worked great. But later, when everybody used WinWord, I also switched to WinWord, because as you write above, it made a lot of sense to be compatible with everybody else.

And? Sometimes I see very expensive cars in Bangkok. Most of the time they are standing. And few times they are driven, slowly, mostly in the traffic. A long time ago I drove a Porsche cabriolet for a weekend. 250 on the Autobahn and a little slower on other well maintained roads. Yes, it can be nice and fun under the right conditions. But in Thailand? Something like this might be useful.

What would be the point of buying/owning a sports or premium car in Thailand, except that you can impress some people with that? The roads are too bad for "normal" cars. For sports cars, which are low and have a floor which should not be damaged, it is worth. Is an ordinary Toyota or something like that with a top speed of 200km/h not good enough for you?

Now you have a real good motivation to get better soon. 😉 All the best. And yes, I can understand that it is annoying to not be able to do what you want.

I guess if you want to help them, then best go there and listen to them. And listen for a long time, and at least a few of them, before you decide to do something "good". Even if you have the best motives, will you be able to understand them? Can you even possibly understand them when you come from an intact social background? A few days ago, I saw the following video, out of interest. I thought let's watch it and look if it helps me to understand them. I have to admit I don't understand them. Their world is so far away from my world, I just don't understand. I wonder if you would have a similar experience in prison.

They all should go to jail. Maybe start with a week of jail. And if they do it again, a month in jail, 6 months next, ... At some point they should be able to understand the concept. By now little Greta is also old enough to understand those things.

Is it better? Or do you like it more because it is free? For most of my life I use pirated software. Now I pay for Office 365, it's a few USD per month - the equivalent of a few espressos. I don't mind paying that money for good software. If other software is better, with better results and better functionality and a better user interface, then maybe I would change. But just for a few dollars less, I wouldn't do it. Too much hassle - IMHO.

Excel is a good start.

If you are concerned about your wife bringing home money, then you do something wrong - at least in Thailand.

Personally, I agree. But it seems many people are willing to be uncomfortable for some time and pay less. I guess it's also a question of age. When I was young, I didn't mind a couple of hours in economy. Now, that is ok for an hour or two, but I wouldn't book a flight to Europe in a small seat with no legroom.

Let's say it like this: It's unsealed now since about two months, and I use it multiple times a day. No leak, no smell, that's why I didn't "fix" it. It's in my own home and my gf and I am the only people who use it. So I don't have to worry about something happening and I don't know about it. I wrote about this here mostly to let others know that it can work without seal. And the key part for that is that there is continuous slope and free pipes so that the water flows unrestricted.

I am not a frequent flier. I used premium economy once, and I liked the seats and the leg room. I don't really care about the food. I don't expect any gourmet food on a plane.
