Nearly 5-meter-long Python Slithers Across Road Near Famous Mall
Crossy replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
In other news: - Python complains about unjust detainment and removal. In a statement Monty said "I was just heading to the mall for some shopping when I was jumped by a bunch of guys, bundled into a box, and dumped in the forest miles from anywhere. I may sue". -

I thought extortion was illegal? International shipper does it again
Crossy replied to PeterA's topic in General Topics
Spectacles should attract 5% duty on the CIF (Cost Insurance Freight) value plus 7% VAT on the total. The couriers often also charge a handling fee. If you can get stuff shipped DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) then there "should" be no further charge, but I don't know if DHL offer that service from the US. In reality, the good old postal system offers a pretty decent service for small fairly low-value items which often get through with no additional fees. EDIT It seems that DHL do in fact do DDP. https://www.dhl.com/th-en/home/our-divisions/global-forwarding/customer-service/incoterms-2020.html -
Yeah ^^^. I've found that stuff on Lazada, even if it's shipped from "overseas" (China) tends to arrive faster than the same thing from Aliexpress.

No, as far as your installation is concerned the limiting factor is still your incoming breaker and the size of the cables feeding the house.

Interesting insight to old tourists marrying bargirls.

What’s The Fastest Way to Make 50 Five-Egg Omelettes?
Crossy replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in Western Food in Thailand
@GammaGlobulin how are you re-heating your egg dish (I'm staying out of any discussion of spelling of the "O" word)? Don't they go rubbery? Special technique? Have you tried the pasteurised eggs in a bottle? Just measure the relevant volume for 5 eggs and cook. No cracking etc. The British Army and Royal Navy use them by the gallon to make scrambled egg, it was luxury to use an RAF canteen coz you got actual handmade scrambled eggs ???? -
OK. I have noted that "some" lesser-known brands seem to be slightly under-size when measured. I have some "6mm2" stranded that fits comfortably in a 4mm2 crimp! Brand? Think German mid-20th century dictator. Bangkok Cable and Thai Yazaki are of the better kind, I would stick with them.

I think at this point we should draw a veil over the unit things and get back to the real subject.

Lightning would blast 1.5mm2 into next week

I'll just go and install some number 12 cable for that water heater, or maybe number 10 would be more appropriate ... EDIT - Maybe we need a rule on "Unit Police" posts on the same lines as for "Grammar Police" ????

OK, it's incorrect, but we all most of us understood what he meant. If I corrected every post where someone says they used XX Kw on their energy bill ...
-
Isn't that what he said? Measure the diameter of each strand, calculate the area of each, multiply by the number of strands?
-
This ^^^. But do verify that your switch is in the live side of the supply, a switched neutral can have similar effects.

I've stayed out of this one, but a couple of weeks ago we were awakened to the sounds of a pretty large fire not a million miles away. Having looked outside and determined there was no immediate threat to our place we went back to bed, sleep punctuated by what sounded like every fire appliance in the area attending said conflagration. Enquiries in the morning revealed that it was a car that had gone "whoosh" in the parking of the resort just up the road, it had taken half a dozen other cars with it before being brought under control. Guess what, it wasn't an EV or hybrid! No actual detail of course. Meanwhile, the parking at the Yellow Line Park-n-Ride is prepared for anything short of nuclear Armageddon!

How Thai people will see us foreigners
Crossy replied to newbee2022's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
A few years ago, walking back from a beach bar in Changi Village (Singapore), we were approached by a couple of the local "people in skirts". There were suggestions!! My mate said he wanted to make love with a woman, whereupon one of the "ladies" said, "ah, you'll like my friend here. He's got a pu55y!!". We didn't take them up on the offer!
