  1. In the UK I have a Whirlpool Microwave with convection oven. It's one of the higher-spec JetChef ovens with a pull down (front loading) door as oppose to side opening (swing open) door. Panasonic also do these front loaders and they have built-in inverters for better microwaving.

    One of the things to look for when buying is to see how high a temperature the convection oven can actually reach. Look for at least 200 deg C with the better ones being able to go upto 220 deg C.

    These appliances are able to function as pure convection ovens without any aid from the grill or microwave.

    I can cook cakes, biscuits, roasts, etc., in my JetChef oven and the results truly are "oven cooked" and I'm very happy with this appliance.

    Within Thailand I'd look at the Panasonic ones with built-in inverters and stainless steel clad interiors.


  2. Had it once...

    Had to wear multiple pairs of trousers, shirts and jackets to keep warm, and was still shivering cold, in 34C heat.

    Problems with body temperature regulation as mentioned above. Also problems with hydration and on/off desire to eat. Body cramps and muscle fatigue from limbs locking in place for 1-2 days.

    A very tiring few days. Doctors can detect if you have it, or not, in a blood sample.

    Eat thin soup, drink isotonic drinks and sleep as much as possible.

  3. Backup: Yes it would be safer to do that before you start making any major changes to Windows.

    What's wrong with the system that you need to restore ?

    I think I know what caused the machine to act like its memory's too low. It showed genuine in the beginning and I guess an update found out that the program isn't genuine.

    I'm not sure if non-genuine Windows would be the reason for it to run slower.

    If you have a spare slot for RAM you could double the memory for about B650 .

  4. RE OP; Perhaps the antenna could be repositioned ?

    If the antenna is orientated vertically - the signal spreads outs horizontally.

    So if the antenna is pointing "towards" the cottage, it would need moving 90deg (anti)clockwise, or ideally the antenna is pointing upwards to provide a wide range of coverage at the floor level the unit is serving.

  5. CAT premium on cable or fibre. The most transparent and robust line available and I've had the chance to try CAT, TRUE Cable and 3BB (served via a TTT line?) --all at the same time to compare connecting to I.B and CME based brokers.

    CAT via DSL is robust too. TRUE Cable goes out in storms because the boxes on the street that feed the internet part don't have battery back ups (in pattaya). Make sure you have a UPS for all your kit including modem. Earthing is a good idea too.

    If you're really serious about trading then get your condo as close as possible to the local CAT telecoms tower. You can also get a microwave link from CAT, you building direct to tower, but it's about 30k month.

  6. We should have a sign, handshake or similar to publicly convey our membership of ThaiVisa.

    I suggest pressing your thumb against your (same sided) shoulder to other falang when out and about.

    The person who received the conveyance should return the signal with the same; for the avoidance of doubt.

    Puzzled; anyone who doesn't know what the signal means would eventually have to log on to ThaiVisa to find out!!

  7. The greatest conspiracy theory would be that there's no conspiracy going on.

    It would mean that the human race is a unruly, polluting, selfish species incapable of organization.

    In contrast to this (suggested animal-like behavior) is the rapid urbanization of the earth's population and resources arranged in a systematic and very well organized order.

    The conspiracy is so great it cannot be seen and what do most people care anyway ? --we're too busy on facebook, instagram, or the www to let our brains relax for even a moment!
