I have the impression they want any users, because more clicks is more money. (I don't blame them for trying to make money). But sometimes more is less. Less stupid posts would on the long run likely improve this forum. But then, who decides. I am sure it's a lot easier to manage a forum i.e. specific to Posche 911 or any other limited topic.

Now, imagine if the police would look who ignores those pedestrian crossings. And imagine the police would fine them. Now that would be a real improvement. When I come with my bike near a pedestrian crossing, I always have to look in my mirrors first. If something big is behind me and he is not willing to stop then that is a considerable risk. Lots of riders and drivers just don't care. Sad.

Then why don't you do that. Where are you from? What is your work? Are you married? I am sure you heard these questions before. ;)

PM to Showcase Two Months of Govt Achievements
OneMoreFarang replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Not that I like the Shinawatra government, but they publish lots of information about what they are doing and what they plan to do. That is a lot better than previous government who published little about their activities. -
Who lives with in Asia with their farang wife
OneMoreFarang replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Who lives with in Asia with their farang wife - and for how long? When I arrived in Thailand, I worked a couple of years for the companies who built the underground train. Lots of farangs who worked there arrived together with their wives. A few years later a substantial part were not married to their farang wives anymore. And the guys who were still married had often also a Thai girlfriend. TiT -
Misstating Condo Sale Price
OneMoreFarang replied to Fortunateson's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
I think many of us, who come from civilized countries, like to have things correct when we spend a lot of money. And I think it's smart to enquire about things like that. Because it could be some scam and then it's nice when other members point out that it's wise to be careful. In this case I don't think it is a scam, just a common way to do things in Thailand. -

Misstating Condo Sale Price
OneMoreFarang replied to Fortunateson's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
It seems the fact that they want to do it doesn't mean it is possible to do it. The land office might tell you that they don't accept a certain price. I would consider agreeing to this if you think you have a good deal. Would you prefer to pay a couple of 100,000 THB more and have the correct number registered? -
The connectors have just a little electronic in there, nothing fancy. It's cheap to produce them. The software (in the phones) does most of the work. I don't have a car in Thailand, but it seems OBD is used since many years in many countries. It makes life a lot easier for the "mechanics" in the car garages. I am 99% sure they use them in Thailand just like anywhere else. Maybe look in the manual or google OBD connector and the model of your car.

OBD, including history. On-board diagnostics - Wikipedia Yes, these things are very helpful. And just in case you don't know: You can buy a relative cheap OBD-Adapter with Bluetooth and then use an app like torque on your phone.

Same with me. I needed glasses since my first driving license with 16. Over time my eyes changed a little to the worse. Now, since a couple of years, my eyes are getting better and are now almost perfect. I don't need any glasses anymore and I only use them for driving (about -1.0). I guess in the future there will be more changes. That's life.

I think the "thinking" goes like this: I don't get the man I want; it must be my looks. Nit has bigger boobs, and she has a handsome husband. For that reason, I know I need bigger boobs. Then I will get the man I want. A good cosmetic surgeon is obviously expensive. But I am smart, I found this cheap guy on facebook... Now my boobs are bigger. I don't know why the guys don't line up. Maybe they have to be even bigger, or I need a pretty nose. Let's do that. Repeat. The problem is obviously often their personality. But they don't (want to) realize that fact.

What topic would you like to discuss?
OneMoreFarang replied to bignok's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I "tested" ChatGPT with a programming question. And then I asked for some changes. And after ChatGPT replied like "change this line from A to B" I replied with: I am not sure, can you just repeat the whole code so that I can copy and paste it. ChatGPT did that, and was nice all the time. That was for me one of the confirmations that it was really a computer response. Most support people would have told me very soon to do my s#%$ alone. -
What topic would you like to discuss?
OneMoreFarang replied to bignok's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
What's the point of a question like that? If I want to discuss A in this forum then I will bring it up. And if I don't feel like discussing anything then I won't discuss anything. It seems you don't know what to discuss but you want to discuss something. What's the point? Why don't you argue with ChatGPT for a couple of hours? Because the good thing about ChatGPT is that is doesn't get annoyed by annoying people. You're welcome.- 183 replies

I guess if you survive here driving for a couple of years that will prepare you for most of the rest of the world.

Trump leads Biden in 5 key battleground states: poll
OneMoreFarang replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I would love to see a more detailed survey like: What do you think about Biden, the person? What do you think about Trump, the person? What do you think about the Democrat Party? What do you think about the GOP? What do you think about the Democrat Party's politics? What do you think about the GOP politics? And if that would not be complicated enough, then it would be even better to ask for single political questions like: How should be handle (illegal) immigration? Should we support the wars in the Ukraine, Israel and others? Should America have soldiers all over the word? (Let's not forget Americans pay for them) Abortion And many other issues. Personally, I think both candidates are bad and both main parties are bad. Some politics from each party make sense and others don't. It's difficult. -
All of them, and many more. And the climate, food, reasonable cost and friendly people are obviously also nice to have.

Member ranks are now updated for all members
OneMoreFarang replied to george's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
We only wait half a year, and the update is done already. Wonderful. I guess the web designer had to click away adds every 3 seconds or so like we. That obviously delays the whole procedure a little. ;) -
Do you find women boring after a while?

Is Solar Electricity only about Cheap Energy?
OneMoreFarang replied to Muhendis's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
For some it's about virtue signaling. -
step down transformer for US stereo
OneMoreFarang replied to gamb00ler's topic in The Electrical Forum
As far as I know Americans us 60Hz and in Thailand we have 50Hz. It seems for some equipment that is not a big deal, and for others it's a problem. AC Voltage conversion with the same frequency (Hz) is easy and relative cheap. AC Voltage conversion with frequency conversion is a lot more complicated and expensive to do - if done right and with lots of power. -
step down transformer for US stereo
OneMoreFarang replied to gamb00ler's topic in The Electrical Forum
If you don't play full power than you will come nowhere near the max of 700W. Likely you won't even use 100W most of the time. 800W should do the job but it never hurts to have some more headroom. -
I wouldn't call it money laundering. But I am pretty sure if the German taxpayers knew that maybe 70% or more of that money gets lost in administration, then maybe they would think twice about that. But then, it seems most of what is done now is about looking good. We support XYZ with x million. We are the good guys. Whatever happens with that money, who really cares?

Does a L-N Busbar for a breaker box exist?
OneMoreFarang replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in The Electrical Forum
Sure, that will work. But let's say I would not know busbars exists, see above, and I would cut all these wonderful wire bridges with a wire cutter, and then I would discover a busbar, then I would feel like: I should have checked that first...
