I wouldn't call myself old, but I am obviously a lot older than 30 years ago. In general, I am positive, and I like to see the world in a positive way. But sometimes that is difficult. Just today when I was in my usual coffee shop two maybe 20 old girls arrived together with their camera. They started to sit on a table and then one girl made maybe 20 pictures of the other girl. And then the other girl used the camera to make lots of pictures of the other girl. And then they changed their places and the whole procedure started again. And then the food arrived, and they made the same pictures again this time with food. And obviously lots of additional pictures from all angles just from the food. A couple of the regular guests looked at that scenario and it was funny to see their faces. Like: Are you done yet? How long will you continue with that? Will you drink your coffee before it is cold or is it more important to make all those pictures? I don't think anybody said anything, but I am sure most of us had negative thoughts. Why? Because we are all negative? Or because the word around us is going nuts? These two girls are obviously only one of the examples. Others are all those people sitting together in groups in restaurants and everybody is looking at their phone, no conversation at all. And then there was this guy today who crossed the street without paying any attention to the cars and bikes with his phone in front of his face. I honked my horn, and he shouted something in my direction. How dare I expect from him to look where he is going. Sometimes it is difficult not to have negative ideas about all those other people around us.

I suggest first you should check if you can change the default setting. Maybe there is a little switch on the LED controller or a software setting, something like that. If you can change it on the floodlight (controller) to start with OFF then you don't have to worry about the rest.

Lazada sure didn't manufacture that thing. Who is the manufacturer? A brand name company? Personally I think anything which is possibly dangerous and/or important, like medical devices, should only be purchased from reputable companies. And then there are usually no problems.

I replied to a comment. Wasn't that obvious to you?

You always forget that there would have been no coups if the Shinawatras wouldn't be so corrupt and greedy.

Clickbait! I was expecting a picture of at least one hot girl.

Thanks, that's a good point. I forgot about toaster and kettle and such things.

People called her Queen Elizabeth and not something stupid like Ung Ing.

Let's start with the information that I did electrical installations a long time ago in a country far away. At that time people used a few breakers for a whole house. I also know the theory how to select wiring and a breaker for a specific load. I know i.e. that my water heater has a rated current of 36.4A so I will use a 40A breaker for that one. But how about all those "normal" power outlets and lights? I guess for the electrical sockets I use 16A breakers. For the LED lights 10A breakers should allow more than enough current. But does it make sense to use 10A for this and 16A for that? Or is it just easier to use 16A for everything which does not require more current like the heater, stove, etc.? To be clear there is no misunderstanding: There will be maybe 6 separate breakers for light and 6 separate breakers for electrical sockets. In theory I could change breakers later, i.e. I could install a 10A MCB and change it later to a 16A if I need it. But doing that would mean work on the breaker box which would mean switching the electricity completely off. It's obviously easier to have the MCBs ready installed, maybe with a few spares to be sure. Which breakers would you use?

I have an idea what would really hit them hard. Sanctions. Don't buy their main export product anymore. That will hurt them.

He killed a police officer. If that is not enough motivation for the police to "find" him then I don't have any hope anything else will motivate them. And to be fair: Imagine one police officer would make it his top priority to find the killer. And let's imagine he would be able to arrest him and put him behind bars. Now we can all speculate if that officer will live happily ever after, get a big promotion and be the hero. Or maybe not...

Or just say the others stole the vote...

Thanks, that is interesting. And what are their predictions if Thaksin's daughter will be PM? Or Future Forward? Do they expect that there will be less corruption? I am genuine asking; I don't know and it's interesting to hear what many Thai businesspeople think.

How do you know if the corruption is worse? Some international index? Or your gut feeling? I don't know if it is worse. But I remember the times when Thaksin was officially in charge and there was basically everyday news about some shady deal with him involved. It was almost guaranteed to open the newspaper and see another of those articles (yes, at that time I read newspapers). I don't know how corrupt the current government is, but apart from all those watches it is not so obvious - at least for me. And obviously life is now peaceful without all those red shirts on the streets.

Are you one of those Millennials? Or just a non-binary?

Luckily there are not too many fighting farang soldiers here in Thailand - except of all those special forces guys. ????

As long as I only hear it that's alright. Better not in one of those bars with music videos.

Shouldn't they be from families?

Was it a famous street vendor?

Personally, I agree with you. But it seems especially in Pattaya that there are German bars and English bars and all that. People away from home complaining that the food in Thailand is just not like home and all that...

Those James Bond intros cost more than low budget complete movies. And that is just the way to start a James Bond movie - at least it used to be.

Only because you know someone's name doesn't mean everybody knows him/her/it.

Both of them or all of them or just one of them?

I don't know the details, but with Trump and all his businesses they probably need 10 or 100 times the amount of people compared to the others. That is no reason not to audit him, but it will be considerably more work.

I always wonder why Thai parents give their children long complicated names. It's almost that they wish that those children will have short and ugly nicknames.
