  1. In my experience, the coffee stands or falls with the coffee you use. Have had an espresso machine for years, but stopped making coffee because I can't find the right coffee. I'm back to instant coffee, unfortunately.
  2. It is not just concrete that the bridge is made of, but have you ever heard of concrete rot, the steal what used in concrete what can rust, especially in humid countries.
  3. I have been driving an SUV here for over 15 years, and the most important reason for that is that when you are getting older you want to have a higher entry level.
  4. Or maintenance....also possible in LOS. Even an bridge need that from time to time.
  5. sorry, you can not talk for yourself, I'm really sorry for you.
  6. Funny, it was for me exactly the same reason to switch to solarcell. Opposite where I live, across the road, is a car repair shop with a welding machine, and here too the voltage dropped to around 160 volts and also I bought an AVR of 20 KVA which is now needlessly standing. I don't have any trouble with that anymore, including power failure, which occured on average once a week.
  7. What would you think to keep the Suez Canal passable.
  8. Judging by the coverage, he is not as popular as he used to be. For myself, he was a pleasant person when he was replying to the clique in the EU
  9. And what also annoys me are those speakers in rural municipalities, at the stroke of 6 o'clock in the morning the blaring starts which lasts until about half past seven, so everyone is awake by now.
  10. You starting talking about football, go, quickly to Uranus.
  11. In the Netherlands where small investors own and rent out a house try to sell it again as soon as possible. The big culprit there is tax. Then I'd rather own a condo in Thailand anyway.
  12. What nonsense, I moved here when I was 50, now I'm 77, can you do the maths? Never regretted it, from that country in the EU, from which I come from I wouldn't even want to be found dead. But everyone has different experiences, that's true.
  13. Due to the fact that I never got that dongle working and therefore not connected, I don't have to be afraid of that. But it does indeed become more suspicious, also because if you asked a question to ‘Must’ you never got an answer, the only answer you get is so-called offers
  14. You think it has already reached the point where it has time-controlled software that shuts down after 3.5 years? Have little faith in humanity but that it is that bad....
  15. @Crossy I forget to mention, no there was not any diagnostic report, about good design, what do you expect from chinese stuff, you can reach the company ‘Must’ but when you ask a difficult question, you no longer get an answer.
  16. Yes, that's for sure, had initially searched the internet but couldn't find anything of information. My girlfriend had it on the phone and when she asked why it had happened and why, the answer she got was that it was normal after 3.5 years in use, a ridiculous answer of course but yes, what can I do about it, am glad it was repaired. Had already asked the supplier if the same model was still available, but no, out of production, the replacement model could not handle the amperage of solar cell panels which would have led me to switch it differently, which fortunately was not necessary now.
  17. This week I got the last of the two back from repair, through the supplier I got an address in Khon Kaen and repaired them for 3500 Thb/each. Have a feeling it was a software glitch, on power-up they both stayed in a repeating start-up mode of 1 or 2 seconds. The problem had occurred after I switched off the batteries in the evening where the inverters switch back to the grid. Of course, they are connected in parallel. Now it works normally again.
  18. This is because there is a large group in that country that does not fall into that category.
  19. 168 hours economy do you mean, Sunday as we know it in the western world is also foreign to them, plenty of activity on that day.
  20. Doesn't that make you very tired?
  21. Yes, I walk around my house every morning for 40 minutes equals 5 km, instead of cycling which I used to do.
  22. Nay, you forget that it is a third world country, and they are doing all they can to keep it that way.
  23. Good, I understand you want to take on the difficult job, but you are not here, that's a shame now. On the other hand, you just have to think it's Thai culture.
