@Tippaporn There is no reason to address me (and maybe others) to then write pages of whatever you want to write. If anybody cares about this subject, then they will read it. And if not, then not. At least for me it was a waste of time to click on that and then see that you wrote page of whatever to whoever. I don't care!

So just replace all those pipes, problem solved. ;)

I have no good answer, but this story: A couple of years ago I was late at night in Soi Cowboy, and I had a couple of drinks. A foreigner, who also seemed to be drunk, approached me like "what a wonderful night" or something like that. And he stole my wallet out of my pocket. Luckily, I realized that, and my wallet was still in his hand, and I grabbed my wallet and had it back. Then the guy fell down (on his own). I thought at that time about what to do. Should I kick him? Should I report him to the police? What are the options? I didn't do anything at that time. And in hindsight that was probably a good move. I spoke with a couple of people about this later. A few people pointed out that if I would have beaten or kicked that thief, I could have easily gotten into trouble. Because if he would later go to hospital and the police and complain that that other farang beat him up, then what? I would have to explain that he stole my wallet and that I beat him up for that reason. Would that be a good enough reason for the police? Would they believe me that he stole my wallet? All in all, it could go very wrong. So, I understand your desire to beat up that a#hole, but think twice before you do it.

Did it ever work? Because if it worked at some time in the past then maybe it's only necessary to fix something which "went wrong". If it never worked, then that is a different story. One thing which (some) Thai plumbers seem to have difficulties to understand is that if you have somewhere a bottleneck in form of a small diameter pipe, then that will restrict the flow after that. There should be "big" main pipes and then maybe smaller pipes to the rooms and outlets. A couple of outlets together will never work properly if the (main) pipes are not big enough.

How many guys in this forum do you think would have done that or even understand what you did? I guess not many. At this stage maybe try a specialist forum. Maybe something like this: Hot Questions - Stack Exchange

I would bet that there are enough EV enthusiasts who believe this BS.

I wait for the time when people look back and point at EVs and say: How did the people at that time think that could be a big scale solution? P.S.: I think there are some usages of EVs which make sense. Some. But they are definitely no large-scale replacement compared to combustion engines.

Don't worry, be happy, and relax. If I want to drink, then I do that. If I want ice-cream, then I eat it. No stress, no restricting resolutions. But then, I never had any excessive tendencies, so I don't have to stop myself from doing this or that.

Yes, and that should be obvious. But for some people it seems to be not obvious. I.e. travel (health) insurances are cheap compared to regular contracts. Why? Because they cover a lot less, and for a limited time, and under limited conditions (i.e. maybe no motorcycle use, dangerous sports, etc.).

You can decide to believe in god or the tooth fairy. There is nothing to believe about insurances. Insurance contracts have lots of "small print" and regulations. Most people don't bother looking at those details and then they are surprised when the insurance does not pay what they thought the insurance should pay. Look at the details! And don't assume anything. Then decide based on facts and not believe.

A follow up question/situation about possible preventive measures: I am just installing my oven in hobs in the kitchen cabinet. There are holes and slits in the cabinet and they must be there for air circulation. But obviously those are also passages for insects. Is there anything I could put into the cabinet to make sure the insects don't use that as their new home. I can't and won't seal it because it should have the air flow. I think about measures like maybe some material which smells bad to those creatures that they avoid it.

It's pointless if we want highest quality. But maybe we have old videos, like self produced recordings or maybe some old movies. I remember I watched VHS 40 years ago and we enjoyed the movies and didn't think about possible better quality at that time. Some people make the mistake that they think all must be in the highest resolution to look good. No, it's not necessary. It's nice to have but old, low resolution, is not by definition bad. It's just not as good as what's available now.

Look up the definitions of AV and HDMI and you will see AV is far away from HDMI. It is impossible to covert high-resolution HDMI to AV without losing a lot of quality. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/480i https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Specifications

By definition the picture quality of HDMI if much better than AV. It is impossible to convert high definition HDMI to AV. It is possible to convert AV to HDMI without much quality loss. But because of the limitations of AV it will never be as good as HDMI from a HDMI source.

As far as I know there are special rules when and how to paint galvanized steel. But you don't have to paint it. So, if you want to paint it, better do some research. The following is a good site to get an overview of available materials and cost: https://www.onestockhome.com/en

I am not so sure an AV-HDMI "cable" will work. But there are lots of converters out there that are cheap. I.e. Lazada starting from 59THB. So I am pretty sure you will find something that will work and is not expensive.

I never saw her in reality. But when I was young, and she was on the top shelf on VHS I had a look or two.

They think. They think the pedestrian will see a big (fast) car and the pedestrian will stop because they know that the car will win that competition. It's true. The car is bigger than the pedestrian. Car drivers are also aware of (big) trucks. Those trucks will win that competition. So, it's stupid to ignore that truck. It maybe not the kind of thinking which you want. They know the rules of survival of the fittest. Play by those rules and all will be fine.

Yes, it's important to be careful. And it's very important not to assume drivers and riders will behave in a certain way. IMHO most accidents happen because people make false presumptions. - They see me, they will stop. - NO! - I am right. - Maybe, but who cares? - They can't see so they will drive slowly. - No. - The light is red, they will stop. - No. - This is a one-way street; nobody can come from that direction. - Bad assumption. I live since almost 30 years in the middle of Bangkok. I ride my own motorcycle and with motorcycle taxis. And sometimes I walk. Until now I never had an accident. I also never had an almost accident. Was that luck? Maybe, in part. But mostly it was being careful and not assuming the others will play nice. Many people, probably most, never had an accident. Because they are careful.

In most cases it won't make a difference if L and N are reversed. My reasoning for that are plugs in other countries, like Schuko plugs in Europe, are symmetrical, there is no L or N. From my time over there I don't remember any device with information like "the plug must connected like this or that". The same devices are used all over the world with just different plugs. Same, same, not much different. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schuko "Schuko plugs and sockets are symmetric AC connectors. They can be mated in two ways, therefore line can be connected to either pin of the appliance plug." This is not a professional electrician's answer. If you know better, then please correct me.

The universe, or anything else. I read this book, and I saw some videos with him. It seems whatever he does, it's interesting.

James Hoffmann - when he makes the espresso.

Richard Feynman He was a genius and had a talent to explain things in plain language.

Or Tracy Lords - from the time when she started with her movies.

Maybe he has a good reason. He cancelled. What are your options? Go to court? If you don't have any contract, what condition do you expect?
