DIY solar system - how to sell electricity to PEA
The wheels grind oh so slowly ... Your neighbour still hasn't got his "sell" meter (unless he has a two-dial analogue unit). Hope he doesn't get caught out spinning it backwards. Despite having everything in place and "approved" for an export meter @Thaifish got caught out by the meter reader and had a no-reverse meter installed. AFAIK he still hasn't got his export meter

Is your V.P.N. working in Thailand
One thing that would work and be pretty much undetectable would be if you had a "techy" friend back home who could set up a VPN network to their home router. They would need a router that allows sharing of its WAN connection with its VPN (our TP-Link TL-ER6020 does, but it's not really a thing that non-geeks would own) and set up a DDNS (Dynamic DNS) service, Connecting via the above would make you appear to be using their own, domestic, internet connection.

Is your V.P.N. working in Thailand
I don't use the gambling sites, but the BBC etc are getting very good at detecting those using a VPN to bypass the geo-locks. Not really much you can do other than change server and see if that helps. I use Ivacy, their support people in Singapore are pretty good at providing solutions to get around the geo-locks but, as noted, the sites are getting better. How are Surfshark for support? For a while I had a VPS (Virtual Private Server) in a Welsh data-centre. It was actually a seed-box but came with a VPN host which didn't appear to trigger the detection, but I stopped using it a couple of years back when I got bored with file-sharing.

Stopping Short Term Lets in a Condo Building. Any Tactics That Have Worked?
OK, so I'm clear here, you need a door that can be unlocked from inside and outside only in an emergency, so it remains secure from "casual" opening at other times?

Stopping Short Term Lets in a Condo Building. Any Tactics That Have Worked?
This kind of thing, I've not seen them here but that doesn't mean they don't exist, you'll need a specialist supplier I suspect.

Installing guttering on 3 sides of a house.
Sorry, I really don't remember the relative prices The zinc plated / galvanised ones need a special etching primer for the zinc, then a decent outdoor paint. Talk to your local paint/coatings emporium.

Installing guttering on 3 sides of a house.
Our original zinc-plated gutters lasted about 5 years, they were primed and painted on installation (get the right primer) which I'm sure helped avoid too much rust. They were replaced by nice, shiny stainless ones of the same format which are still shiny 7 years on, I expect them to outlast me. The old gutters are now seeing service on the chook house, Madam doesn't waste anything

Worst Joke Ever 2026
Dapper little man in a suit goes into remote outback bar. A bunch of the big brawny locals are all wondering what he’s doing there. Is he a taxman, farm inspector, sheep welfare official or some other government nosy -parker. Finally, one big lad goes up to him: ‘g’day cobber, you a tourist or what?’ Man: ‘No actually, I'm looking to move here’ ‘So, what do you do?’ ‘Actually, I’m a taxidermist ‘A F##kin WHAT?’ ‘Oh, I like to stuff animals!’ Guy turns to his buddies ‘Hey guys, it’s alright, he’s one of ours!’

- Thailand prepares for onset of cool season as northern front approaches
Nah, we're in Northern Bangkok. It's not even approaching 20oC (on the way down), my lady likes to be prepared!- Thailand prepares for onset of cool season as northern front approaches
Madam has already got her arctic gear out (woolly hat and scarf given to her by my parents) although she's not actually worn it yet. The winter bed comforter has been taken out of storage and is being aired as we speak. Madam will spend most nights rolled up in it anyway. Meanwhile I shall continue to lounge around in my shorts and sandals, I may put a T on early in the mornings.- Ad blockers for Android phones
- The New Skytrain (continued for 2019)
I've not ridden it yet, but I doubt it will be any less bumpy. Monorails on concrete (rather than steel) beams do tend to be a bit rough.- Capacitor for a bench drill
And, AC rated, hence my saying a motor capacitor.- Capacitor for a bench drill
6.3uF will be just fine, these devices are not tight tolerance anyway. Any AC rated (i.e. motor) capacitor will do the job, take the old one to your local electrical emporium or hunt out something similar on Lazada.- Installing guttering on 3 sides of a house.
With that length of guttering you will need a lot more downpipes than you think. Similarly, with your "pots". A decent downpour will drop a surprising amount of water on the roof which will all end up in the guttering. We have stainless-steel gutter, pretty slim and unobtrusive but with a surprising capacity. We got a man in, they have the kit and the knowhow, it's definitely not a solo task! Sadly, I don't recall how much it actually cost, but it wasn't cheap.- The New Skytrain (continued for 2019)
Actual date for free running is not fixed yet, but will be between 18th and 24th November. - Worst Joke Ever 2026
