  1. How about eradicating violence against everyone? Or is it ok when men attack other men? And is it ok when women attack men with knifes - which seems to be not unusual.
  2. I once worked on a project which was financed by Germany. One company (or organization?) in Thailand was looking for projects to sponsor with the German money. It seems they found some agriculture ministry office which possibly could use some software. Then they hired a company to do that software. And that company hired me to do the actual work. I was paid well, but I am pretty sure I didn't even get half of what Germany paid for this project. A wonderful opportunity for layers of layers of people and companies to make lots of money...
  3. I will install some RCBOs which have L and N input terminals. Obviously I can create some wire bridges to connect all the terminals. But it would be even better if something like that exists already. I know there are busbars like this which have all the same connection. Does something like this exist? What's the name? This is what I have in my mind:
  4. I should remind him to get a heavy-duty wheelchair which is stable enough to add a girl or two.
  5. Thanks There is a similar store behind Robinson Sukhumvit Soi 17. They also have lots of things, but one has to ask for them. And that is sometime difficult when does not know what exist... The good think about the HomePro shop is that they have shelves full of these things and it's easy to get an overview about what is available at all.
  6. Thanks! currently I mostly look in HomePro Ploenchit what’s available. But it becomes more and more clear to me that there are lots of things which are available from HomePro, but not in that shop. Obviously I also look at their website, but that is often difficult to search. I guess I will try to visit one of the bigger HomePro shops nearby to see a bigger selection.
  7. “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” George Carlin
  8. Maybe he had Tesla autopilot installed. 😉
  9. It looks good enough. As an alternative look for a shop i.e. in Fortune Town which sells 2nd hand PCs. Or is you work in an office or have friends in offices ask them. Often there are old and unused PCs.
  10. That sounds like an interesting idea. I will keep that in mind is case I need one in 20 years or whenever.
  11. There are reasons why they do what they do. But mostly those reasons have little to do with benefits for Thais and Thailand.
  12. And initially I was worried that the BiB will have no reason anymore to collect some extra money...
  13. It's similar to the 10k per person policy. We give everybody 10,000 THB, free! And then: But where will the money come from. Maybe we should also think about that part, maybe.
  14. And a bottle of tequila. You will be the star for the next two hours.
  15. Another plumbing question. The blue 2" PCV wastewater pipe in my kitchen floor is not straight down. Maybe it has an angle of 5 to 10 degrees. If I connect another pipe to that one (which I plan to do) then obviously the new pipe will also not be perpendicular to the floor. That is not a huge problem. But it would look nicer, in the mostly closed cabinet under the sink, if it would be straight. Any easy solution?
  16. I think that is an important point. Many people seem to like low maintenance fees - until there is no money to repair anything. It's good if the maintenance fee is not so low and the money is used for maintenance.
  17. Ok, interesting. And do you consider it to be a Beatles song? Or is it just a song which you like, and which maybe somehow sounds like the Beatles?
  18. It seems the guy, and some readers here, never heard about: If it sounds too good to be true, then probably it is not true. Let's say I would get a message from Lisa because she saw my facebook page and she would love to see me. Apart from the fact that I don't use fb I would wonder why a beautiful talented girl would be interested in me. She wouldn't. Case closed. If anybody continues from there in the hope that he's the man, then he has obviously a psychological problem and needs help.
  19. I guess it's about the money. Do Beatle fans, who heard probably over hundred different songs from them, really need an AI version from another song? Would a real fan be even interested is such thing? I think it sounds like the newest StarWars movies. They still have the same name but few people who enjoyed the original are interested in the new movies.
  20. It seems the main issue and the test strips. Obviously, it's good when they are new. But it is also important that they were stored at the correct temperature before you bought them and maybe during the transport.
  21. Bad work, little quality control, and then bad or no maintenance is unfortunately not unusual in Thailand. One of the problems is that many Thais, and even many Thais in the construction business, know little about how good quality standards can be and are in other countries. And that problem includes expensive contractors who work on supposedly high-quality projects.
  22. It seems the question is not so much which hospital you want but which one is still available. I.e our company employees had at some time Camillian Hospital in Thong Lo and then the next year that was not available anymore.
  23. When I read stories like that, I always wonder why these people (still) have so much money. I would imagine a mentally challenged person like that won't be able to have a well-paid job. And if he had money for whatever reason, maybe though inheritance, then there are enough opportunities in the real world to spend it all unwisely.
  24. Toon gets ripped off by Boom Bim. Only in Thailand. Anywhere else on the planet that would be a cartoon. See bottom right corner of the image.
