Thai LGBTQ+ Community Hotly Anticipates Same-Sex Union Bills
OneMoreFarang replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Did I write this anywhere? If you have them then you have them and taking away the children from you won't be (in general) good for the children. And in general, it is also not good for children if they don't grow up with a female mother and a male father at the same time. There are already too many unhappy children out there. -
The Alex Jones Trial Is As Messy As You’d Expect
OneMoreFarang replied to Scott's topic in World News
Thanks, that is obviously a similar situation. Do they really believe that? I mean, maybe they do. Or is that one of those things which they say to be part of their club, but they don't really believe it? I don't know. From the political left part of view, it is obvious that we can call all this people stupid idiots. And maybe they are all stupid idiots. But then it's still hard to believe that so many people can be so stupid. So, in a way I hope there is another explanation which I just don't see or never heard because I have no political right American friends. -
The Alex Jones Trial Is As Messy As You’d Expect
OneMoreFarang replied to Scott's topic in World News
I am not American and not right wing. Maybe someone from over there can help me to understand this situation. Who is watching or hearing these shows (regularly)? Do many right wing Americans really think that school shooting never happened? Or do they know it happened but somehow they think it's funny to deny reality? What is going on over there? From my point of view a nutter like Jones wouldn't be a problem if nobody would listen to him. And even if someone is rightwing I don't think it is necessary to be at the same time a fan on conspiracy theories. What am I missing? How is it possible that that guy is successful? -
Khao soi ranked world’s best soup in foodie list
OneMoreFarang replied to webfact's topic in Thai Food
Personally my favorite "soup" in Thailand is Tom Kah Gai. But as with all other food, I wouldn't want to eat it every day. It's like comparing bananas with apples. Which one is better? There is no better, they are different - just like lots of soups in Thailand and all over the world. -
If you want to connect that thing through a normal power outlet then it shouldn't have more than 3500W. Otherwise it draws too much current. With high power you can get lots of water with a high temperature. With low power you can only heat lots of water to a not so high temperature or just a little water (slow water flow) to a high temperature.

And after 2am (or was it after midnight?) through the back entrance. I always forget if it was first through the kitchen and then the bathroom or the other way around. No, I am not kidding.

They all look the same to me. I don't get it. Imagine you would go into a Hooter anywhere else in this world with that lineup. I am pretty sure that place would be crowded 24/7 - even if they are all young and slim and brown and have long hair.

I understand your intention and hopefully that will work. But I imagine if someone, i.e. a hotel manager, would ask you if you are her father or related to her. And then, if you tell the truth, you say no. Then try to explain that you changed your name to her name so that you don't have to explain why you travel together with a young girl... I hope you have enough, and influential enough, people who can confirm your story. P.S.: I am just playing devils advocate here. I hope nobody ever wants to create trouble for you.

I have several names given by different people. One is "Uan" - no idea why they would call me such a name. ????

I am not up to date on UPS technology. But as far as I know there are different technologies. I think some always work like convert AC to DC, store it in a battery, recreate AC As far as I know they are seldom and expensive. Cheaper UPS use shortcuts and maybe are not active at all under normal conditions, just (more or less) straight through until they have to change. There is a reason why some UPS are cheap and others with similar VA values are a lot more expensive. Here is some info about different UPS types. It's just the first link which I found. I didn't read it in detail. Three types of UPS Technologies - Enterprise Control Systems (datacenterexperts.com) From that article: Offline Standby Technology Advantages: Low cost Silent operation when in standby Efficient Disadvantages: Minimal power protection - only protects against a small percentage of problems Poor output voltage regulation - sags and surges will be passed straight to the load Break transfer to battery mode No failsafe - UPS will drop the load if there is a high start-up current, overload or inverter failure

Changing orientation of door levers? Possible?
OneMoreFarang replied to AndyAndyAndy's topic in DIY Forum
Maybe look if he shows anywhere on the package: for left or similar And maybe find this thing on the Global House website and look if they have the same lock in left and right versions. I guess that should answer your question. -
Trying to understand a Thai family situation?
OneMoreFarang replied to Gee Bangkok's topic in Family and Children
It's complicated - at least sometimes. IMHO it depends on who can afford to pay/help. And in Thailand giving money to others, including family, is good for your karma, status, whatever. Some girls, and their sponsors, pay all the time. And if some people or the whole family are used to that then it is obviously difficult to give them less or nothing. Then the girl is often under a lot of pressure from her family. And then she has the option to (try to) resist that pressure herself or she (tries to) pressure her sponsor. But sometimes I think there is a real need. I.e. currently the father of my gf was first in the hospital and now he is home again and he needs help. My gf helped him in part. But he is old and big and my gf is small. She is not able to carry him around. So now my gf's brother, the son of the sick father, helps him. And for that reason he can't work. So what now? In the moment I pay the brother some money so that he is able to help the father. Why do I do it? Because I can afford it. If I would be struggle to survive then I wouldn't pay. But in real life I don't even notice if I have a couple of thousand THB less. So I help. And when the father is fit enough to care for himself again then the brother can work again and I won't pay anymore. Is this story true? 99.9%. I know the family since forever, I saw pictures from him in the hospital and pictures of my gf visiting him in the hospital, etc. I think if we are in long term relationship and we can afford it then why not help the family from time to time? And even if we are in not such a long term relationship maybe we just help people in need. Many of us can afford it. -
Then maybe you need surge protection and not a UPS.

Over the years I bought a couple of UPS for computers and I think I saw in the manuals warnings how not to use UPS. I just googled this and it seems there are answer like: you shouldn't do it but it might work. I leave it up to you to check the details which might depend on the UPS model and on the fridge model. My comment was more in general like: Consider that maybe/probably you shouldn't do it.

As far as I know (normal) UPS are not designed to work with a fridge or fan, etc.

After Covid I didn't visit Hooters in Soi 4. But before Covid they had probably the best lineup of the whole street. Definitely more top girls in there than in any of the gogo bars. As far as I know in Hooters it's not usual that the customer takes the girls out. But looking at some of them: wow!

What is hilarious is when a guy writes he goes to NANA but then he actually sits at the entrance and watches other guys walking by with NANA girls. Maybe someone should explain it to you: The idea is to go there without female company and to look at the dancers and play with them and maybe take them out. And it doesn't matter how you look like or how old you are because if you screw them you look at the girl and not yourself.

You got what you ordered! Viral "food drama" post amuses Thailand
OneMoreFarang replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
That's why it is always a good idea to look in person what is on offer. -
Changing orientation of door levers? Possible?
OneMoreFarang replied to AndyAndyAndy's topic in DIY Forum
I was recently looking for levers. They didn't ask me if I want a right or left version. I am pretty sure there is just one version. If you didn't do it already open the box. There is likely a manual inside which explains what to do. -
In some (many?) countries a prenuptial agreement has lots of limitations. I.e. if she has a baby and has to take care of the baby and at that time she can't work then you have to pay. It doesn't matter what is written in any a prenuptial agreement. Obviously it is fair that the father should together with the mother take care of the baby. But some mothers use that to get their life paid.
