You could mix it into a can of diesel to make very good glue.....

I stopped working anywhere in 2002, so it's Class 3 for me, but the rate for before 2016 - 824pa? if I ever eventually get to pay that is.....

I've been trying to do this for over a year now. There was a deadline of last August to make top-ups for years up to 2016 I think before they increased the amount by about a hundred quid. Having spoken to the pension department they told me what I needed to do, so I downloaded the form, filled it in adding the payments to make as suggested by them. I received a letter in December accusing me of having worked in certain years, which I haven't - not even been there, but I did cash-in some pension pots. I called them and explained - they apologised and said I should never have been sent that letter and my case would go to the front of the queue - seven months later I called to see what was happening - they can see my case but don't know why it is held up so I asked them to write to me - I'm waiting.......

The shallow thinking on display by this clown-government is breath-taking - obviously if they restrict the wallet money, it will get spent on necessities and the money usually spent on them with buy a new phone, after all, many will need a new phone to get access to the wallet......

What reason was stated? My last was rejected because I only filled in the asterisked (mandatory usually) fields - they said incomplete. Filled in every field and then accepted

Happened to me time before last - I had been to Hua Hin for a couple of nights a few weeks before. I just did a TM30 online and then re-submitted. The rules say this isn't necessary, but Chiang Mai Imm. now seem to require the last TM30 to align with the 90 day address.

I've been running LibreELEC, which is a minimal Linux with kodi, for 10+ years, currently on a raspberry pi3+ - very happy with the performance when playing torrents I have downloaded.

Obviously I meant in Thailand, with Thai numbers......

The only weird thing about these LINE messages that I get is that they are in English, native level, when the vast majority of LINE users are obviously Thai.

I've had a few similar LINE messages - they don't know you, they just have numbers that they spam.

TiT - everything has a price, so an enterprising individual looking to hook the unsuspecting into some fiendish scam will buy a list of numbers. With regards to LINE - is your account set to allow others to find it by number?

No need for a bridge. I have a router configured as a repeater with devices connected to it's lan ports. I recently bought a really cheap router as spare: https://shopee.co.th/-Instock-99-New-N300-Router-Repeater-300Mbps-Wireless-Extender-E-7--i.266356953.22452092636?sp_atk=f7c36f3b-f698-43a1-9148-2ead228997dd&xptdk=f7c36f3b-f698-43a1-9148-2ead228997dd

Any router that has the capability of becoming a repeater theoretically can do this. All the routers I have have the repeater function, allowing the router to connect to any discovered wifi source, assuming you know the password. I have not repeated a phone hotspot, so I cannot confirm, and there could be DHCP issues (maybe the phone hotspot doesnt act as a DHCP server, but you will find out. Here are a couple of router settings examples:

Casinos in Thailand, all be it underground, have been in operation for decades - my wife's first job was as a receptionist/cheque runner for the well-to-do of Chiang Mai. A swanky new 'hotel' is almost complete to be the latest iteration here. For the low-so class, surely every village has a house that acts as a gambling den - these are the ones that the police raid - not the hi-so 'hotels'. If gambling is against the ethos of Thailand, why is there the lottery? Our village head monk spends 10's of thousands of donations on it every 2 weeks.....

I, like you, have always had an inquisitiveness about how things work, and so my retirement, which has lasted 22 years so far, has become filled with my hobby of fix - build - repair, covering our house, our (well, the wife's officially) business of residential accommodation, computers, web-sites, programming, solar bits and pieces, etc. Obviously most people shudder at the thought of such efforts and prefer a leisurely time - to each his own.

If it isn't the capacitor or the on/speed switch, then it may be the internal fuse, which on most fans is difficult to get to as it connects direct to the windings.

I had been suffering from occasional jaw, shoulder, knee, finger joint pains for maybe 20 years, that progressively got worse, to the point at which I was taking ibuprofen a couple of time a week. I started consuming a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil daily about 4 years ago (I now pour it on my morning toast instead of butter) and it cleared up immediately - maybe have to take an ibuprofen every six months if I have over-done physical activity such as cutting trees or other heavy hand use.

Never had a virus, but then I use Linux. For internet browsing, which is where any virus is going to come from unless you download it, I use NoScript in Firefox to manage which site javascripts are allowed to run, for instance the ad. scripts on this site.....

Did the move to Linux 12 years ago and also was able to 'downgrade' to using raspberry Pi hardware.

Everybody quotes IQAir, and they always seem to promote Chiang Mai as one of, if not the worst polluted city in the world. Whenever I look at https://www.ventusky.com/?p=17.2;100.9;5&l=pm25 this is never the case, with the eastern half of China and places in India being many times worse, as one would expect given the amount of dirty industry going on there.

As opposed to a dogipillar?

Your thermometer is surrounded by concrete and not in the natural air flow. This is what I have recorded:

Macron says "vote for me". Thai black magic has said that Europe will become Islamic. It seems that will be the fate of western Europe. The east will resist. The 'great' western civilization has run its course - it managed to last approx. 600 years, but, as with all empires, it lost the plot through hubris. The caliber of the current so-called western 'leaders' says it all.

I've extracted a comparison of Aprils 2019-2024: This year, while the max temp per day has not been much different from usual, the minimum temp has been unusually high:
