The company is JIB. I have no affiliation with that company. I am just excited about their great service. I write this information in an extra post in case an admin thinks this is advertisement.

Tonight, I woke up about 3am and I thought about some work which I should/want to do in the morning. And then it came to my mind that it would be good to have another micro SD card for that job. So, I ordered it online at 3:26am. Normally that shop has 3h delivery service in Bangkok. I thought they might start at 9 so I will have my delivery at noon. But I was wrong, it seems they work all night. On 3:53 I received a mail with a video in which they pack my order and at 5:10 the delivery driver arrived and called me (and I told him to leave the with the security guard from the building). Not even 2h from order to delivery in the middle of the night - it can't get much better than that.

I didn't read all posts, maybe that was mentioned already. It seems many Thai have 2nd jobs beside their main jobs. Such jobs might be selling something in the online stores or doing in private more of what they do as their main job in a company like an electrician etc. Medical doctors have also often a job in a hospital and another job in a private clinic. At least for me it seems that people can have vastly different incomes depending on where they work. I.e. I met girls in offices who made maybe 15k per month and others, in other offices, made over 40k for what looked to me like similar jobs.

What happened? Couldn't you afford the first one and then you found an alternative? Or are you still strong and can handle two of them in one day?

I though they always make follow up appointments, after all, another visit is more money for the hospital. ????

I love this movie with him. This seems to be the whole movie. Enjoy!

Thanks And it's not only government hospitals. I.e. I remember visiting a specialist eye doctor at BNH. She was only one day a week there. And everybody got an appointment with her at 4pm. TiT.

And is case you don't know it already: Appointment times in Thai hospital are somehow strange - at least in the (private) hospitals which I visited. If you call or maybe after your first visit you might get an appointment for 9am on day x. And you might think that by 9:30 you should be out of there. No! Likely many people will have an appointment at 9am for the same doctor. And if you arrive at 9am maybe you have to wait until 10 other patients saw the doctor and maybe you will actually see the doctor at 11am. And that's when you decide next time you will come to your 9am appointment at 8:30 so that you are not the last person who arrives for that appointment. TiT! I don't think that is the same for every doctor in all hospitals, but certainly for some specialist doctors in some hospitals - including the expensive places.

And to avoid noise avoid cheap fans. Buy the better, more expensive, fans with ball bearings and RPM control. Have a look here: https://www.jib.co.th/web/product/product_list/3/792 Obviously you don't need one with fancy colors and make sure you have the correct size.

If it is still noisy then hit the case with your flat hand. If you are lucky the noise stops - maybe even for a long time. No, I am not joking. It often works.

If it is a regular PC fan, then it's easy to replace it and no worry about getting an electrical shock. If it is the fan in the power supply, then an amateur shouldn't do that because you can still get an electrical shock even if the PC is off and the power is disconnected.

"Do you fall in love with women?" No, I only fall in love with pretty cute girls. Sometimes for an hour or two and sometimes for a decade and more.

I agree. It's more like the do-gooders like to point their fingers at the people who supposedly did the wrong things.

It's funny that you put quotation marks around this: “military industrial complex” Does this mean you somehow think it doesn't exist? Or why would you do that. Military–industrial complex - Wikipedia And who is "they" in your sentence: "Yes, they DO do it because they love those freedom loving people." Are that all those politicians over there who can't even agree who won their last presidential election?

One of the things which I like about these WAGO connectors is that it is easy to mix stranded and solid wire, even with different thickness. And it's no problem to open and close them several times. The connectors and the cables are not damaged and can be reused right away. They are also service friendly. They have a little hole which allows to easily use a multimeter - but it's impossible to touch that spot with the fingers. And it's a lot faster to use them compared to traditional connectors.

No The original are very good. They accept up to 4sqmm stranded or solid wires. And they just work.

Here, and they are very expensive: https://th.rs-online.com/web/b/wago/ If you know anybody in Germany order them over there and let them send to you. Depending on how many you need that is the cheaper option: https://www.voltus.de/elektromaterial/installations-basics/klemmen-verbinden/klemmen-o/

My totally unproven theory is the following: If this would be a good deal then someone with money, probably Thai, would have bought those units, or most of the building, already. If it's hard to sell, then probably because it's hard to make money with that place.

Prague is fun - or at least it used to be.

Long time ago I had PCBs made in Thailand. They were ok at that time for through hole components with hand drilled holes. Maybe a year ago I ordered from here: https://jlcpcb.com/ Very good quality with many many options for, I think, reasonable prices. And Dave has an excellent video explaining all the options

I knew a PCB shop in Ban Mo, the "electronic town" of Bangkok. I don't see that shop anymore. But when I look at the map and input PCB I found this shop: https://goo.gl/maps/yEQ1BJ4P11WsKqLF7 I don't know it personally. In general, I am 99% sure you will find a PCB shop in that area just by asking the people there. There are literarily thousands of computer shops.

Somehow it is funny when people in 1st world countries like the USA and UK and many more talk about banana republics and developing nations and all that. And then those so-called 1st world countries have one bad leader after the next and it's getting worse all the time. Over the years we saw many politicians and we thought: Is that real? It can't really get worse. And then it got worse, and worse. I really don't want to think about what will come next in those 1st world countries. It looks many of them are completely f%@#$# up - and it's getting worse.

If I look back and if I would have invested in x at the right time and sold it now, I would be super rich. Yeah, sure, I heard that before. Funny enough few of those people also talk about y and z and all the money they would have lost if they would have invested in that one.

I prefer the long tradition of tea leaves
