  1. Art? Ok, that Scotty example is funny, but lots of it is just ugly something. I hope those idiots will be prosecuted and punished. And give them a toothbrush to clean the walls and while they are there they can also polish the toilet bowls.
  2. Really? I am not denying climate change but it is climate change, not short term weather change. Long term temperatures will rise - in average over many years. But short term they may rise, they may be the same, they could be lower. Because short term it's called (unpredictable) weather and not climate. There is a difference!
  3. Recently I receive more and more of those phone calls. It's obvious after a few seconds that they are scams. I just disconnect. There is not much point in reporting this. Blocking the numbers has no effect, the scammers just use other numbers. I wonder about the punishment about those scammers. Will anybody go to jail for making and organizing those phone calls?
  4. I have to admit today I was forced to drive over a zebra crossing with red light. I wanted to stop, but after a look in my rear mirror I decided it's safer not to stop. And at that time there were no pedestrians on the zebra crossing. I thought over the last weeks I observed that more riders and drivers stop. But it seems now everything is back to "normal" again. Almost nobody stops. TiT! And for the record: I stop almost always. But never before looking in my rear mirror expecting danger arriving fast from behind.
  5. That reminds me of those wonderful times. I guess these days that movie would be banned and/or everybody accused of some kind of whatever.
  6. Exactly that is explained in the first video which I linked above - for the people who prefer to watch.
  7. That is the reason why many houses use multiple RCDs. To be sure that there is still electricity in part of the house.
  8. I also like to see a comment from @Crossy or other experts. What you write above sounds like you have one MCB and you want to replace that with one RCBO, correct? It would be a lot better if you would use several MCBs or several RCBOs.
  9. Let the people choose their own government. Why do you have a problem with this. I know it will come as a surprise to you to discover that very few people, be they Thais or foreigners, are as gullible as you appear to be when it comes to seeing through anti-democratic fascist propaganda. It is truly amazing that after nearly 20 years of elected governments being overthrown by armed kleptocrats that there are still individuals out there that continue to hold such inaccurate, inhuman, unintelligent and repulsive views towards democracy and simple human decency as you do. Please tell me which part of what I wrote is inaccurate, inhuman, unintelligent and repulsive views towards democracy? Is Thaksin the leader of PT? Yes Does everybody in that party do what he wants or else? Yes Is he a criminal? Yes Are other members of his family criminals? Yes Did he say many times that he does have nothing to do with Thai politics anymore? Yes Does he meddle all the time in Thai politics? Yes Is now one more Shinawatra, this time one of his daughters, on the way to become Thai PM candidate and does what her father tells her to do? Yes If you pay attention all that should not be news for you. Will any country prosper if a criminal family rules it? No Is it smart to vote for a criminal family and hope for an honest government? No It would be wonderful if one day the majority of Thai voters engage their brain and vote for honest competent politicians. Unfortunately this seems to be a dream which won't come true anytime soon.
  10. http://www.es.co.th/detail.asp?Prod=015023668 10 for 4.5 THB If you want to buy them in a shop they have hundreds of shops like that in Ban Mo
  11. How do they want to do that? Let's not forget that the guy who established that party is a wanted fugitive criminal. And that criminal said many many times that he has nothing to do with Thai politics anymore. And then many many times he tells PT and PT members what to do. And now they think about having one of the fugitive's family members run for PM again. So their platform was and is: Thaksin and the Shinawatras, nothing more and nothing less. And lots of people still vote for that criminal family. Amazing Thailand.
  12. She wants to be able to look even in the tall pot when she is cooking something...
  13. Or the worker was male and he put it in the only toilet he knew.
  14. Maybe that's the future. Fake vaginas with fake hymen. And then some fake or real blood when it is used the first time. Or maybe, to make it more exiting, some blood every time it's used. Then they can pretend to be a virgin all the time. It must be exiting.
  15. In their original condition they don't need medical care. They change something and then they need help because they changed something. Or to align with a previous poster: If you break your arm and put it together again the wrong way around then you can be sure that after that you can't use it anymore the way it was designed. So then you need medical help to function again. Really? But I guess that is what some woke people desire.
  16. Last week I visited Ikea Bangna for the kitchen planning. I had an appointment. First about the height and the legs: According to the designer that is fixed for Ikea. Because my short gf will use the kitchen more than I do I don't even try a higher height. Before I visited him I measured my new kitchen and put the measurements into the Ikea planning program. I also put some appliances into my plan because I have only one wall with fresh and wastewater connection. So it was obvious what has to be on that wall. And then the oven opposite. What the guy did was selecting the "correct" cabinets and inserts. He put also some color in the plan and asked me about some materials. The result was/is a plan for my new kitchen and I have already a good idea what will be where and an idea about the price. This was why I visited him. Now we will remove some walls and put some new walls inside the apartment. And plan/install the freshwater and wastewater pipes, put the tiles inside, etc. And when that is all done then I will think again about the little details before I order everything. Ikea has 25 years warranty on that kitchen. I guess that should be long enough. I still have to think about and select the appliances. Ikea has some of them but it shouldn't be a problem to install any other brands. As far as I see the sizes are pretty much standard. All in all I think it was a good idea to visit that designer. I didn't have to pay anything.
  17. So not much I think the most important thing which I learned about women is to expect no logic. It doesn't make sense to think about why they do what they do. They just do. Having that insight makes life a lot easier.
  18. I read and learn. This is one of those books with interesting facts.
  19. I like these, let's call them Thailand specific, answers. ????
  20. In general women can multitask like talking and listening at the same time, most men can't do that. A good example for that is when guys are driving and they get lost, what do they do first? Switch off the music! Really. Out of interest, if you do something important or complicated, do you do that without interference or still together with something else?
  21. I can barely remember how I used to watch TV or movies without looking at another device at the same time. I assume I must have, but it's crazy how much "TV" (YouTube) has become the thing I have on in the background while I look at something else. I'm pretty sure we'd be fine without our devices and we could just watch the movie or the show, but having it there means it's hard not to look at. I have to admit normally I do exactly one thing at a time. Reading or watching a video or working, etc. I can eat something and read or watch at the same time. But reading something and watching something else at the same time doesn't make any sense to me. Except if both the reading and the watching is so unimportant or shallow that there is no point in doing it under any condition.
  22. The guy in the vides explains that a typical 30mA RCD interrupts the circuit at 24-25mA. He explains that if you have a house with a couple of devices it is normal that some devices leak a little current. 1mA here and 2mA there and some more and it adds up and suddenly you are in the range where the RCD interrupts the circuit. In the first video he tries to find a fault in a house with such a situation and he explains the problematic.
  23. I use a Beurer device and it does the job. Beurer Official Thailand (ประเทศไทย) เครื่องมือแพทย์อุปกรณ์ดูแลสุขภาพจากเยอรมัน I read somewhere, maybe in the manual of that device, that people should not press blood out of their finger when they test. Just pick it with the needle, wait and test. I don't know if that makes a difference and obviously I don't know if your wife does that. But it might be a reason why the numbers differ. Also the test strips have expiry dates and conditions how to keep them (temperature). That could also be an issue.
  24. Breakfast this morning - or a part of it.
  25. Likely you can pay him for that privilege. I guess that is not what you want but it's an option. I know one farang with kids (I think below 10 years old) who paid the mother millions so that he has the custody. I asked him how he arranged that and he told me that was done with a judge. He paid in front of the judge and now he is in charge. TiT.
