logic in general and everywhere in the world
Crossy replied to jwest10's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I was wondering exactly what he's smoking (and where can I get some) -
When did farang start to mean a white person
Crossy replied to kingstonkid's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Yeah ^^^, that's pretty much my understanding too. -
Re-Entry Stamps
Crossy replied to Pompey Lad 1938's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Apparently, you can only get at your "home" office. The desk at Swampy is 24/7/365 ???? -
Yeah, the green stuff needs special kit to melt-weld it, can't be glued. You can get push-fit PPR fittings that don't need welding, but I've not used them so no idea how good they really are. It may just be best to find a plumber with the right gear ????

He definitely slowed after impact (almost stopped in fact) before zooming off into the distance. No way he wasn't aware he'd hit someone.

Sometimes the hand drawn, splodgy X is so much clearer ???? Can't miss that one ... Or can they??

Blood-yell! Any indication how he fared?? He had the green light by the looks of it: - The person on the opposite side started crossing at the same time. The white car in the outside lane was evidently slowing. I don't see much sign of the pickup braking. And of course, it failed to stop! Many of us put way too much faith in having the green light. Guilty as charged m'lud, I've come close a few times here.

Just send them a map, X marks the spot ???? The walkway goes across the main Asoke junction so they can't really go far wrong. But... I have friends who could get lost in a squash-court. ...

Switch on Grid Export on Solar Inverter
Crossy replied to eddysacc's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Sadly, it does look like the inverter manufacturer has pre-empted us ???? Can you disable the CT thingy or control the level of export via the inverter menu without adding that 2k bit of hardware? Unfortunately, the manual isn't a lot of help without sitting in front of the inverter (our Sofar is just as bad). It "might" be possible to simulate a CT connection that makes the inverter go to full power, but I think that's going to be beyond what we can do on an internet forum. Does the inverter have a FaceBook group? There's often all sorts of handy hacks lurking in there ???? -
Switch on Grid Export on Solar Inverter
Crossy replied to eddysacc's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Just pull the plug and see what happens, nothing will get damaged. The worst that may happen is the inverter throw an error "CT disconnected" or something like, but I suspect it will just go to full chat. I do see that our Sofar, won't go to full power if it's been limiting and has shut down one string, but we turn our CT on/off at midnight so everything is asleep anyway. If you don't go to full power try turning the inverter off then on again with the CT disconnected. -
Switch on Grid Export on Solar Inverter
Crossy replied to eddysacc's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Ah-ha, so you DO have a CT installed, I really wish you had said this a little earlier ???? This is good because you should be able to control whether you export or not by turning the function on / off. It might be as easy as simply unplugging the CT from the inverter (that's how I turn export on/off on our Sofar inverter). Why not give it a try? It's important to understand that a grid-tie inverter will, by default, send out as much power as is available from the panels, it doesn't care (or know) where it goes so any that's not used locally goes out to the grid. The anti-reflux function (with the CT) actually limits what the inverter generates so that the grid energy is zero (or pretty close to it). -
I'd meet at the end of the walkway that leads to Interchange Tower as far east as you can get without dropping to street level. I think the BTS signage actually shows it as Interchange Tower exit.

Thai Immigration big shout out!

Yeah, like many things here, when it works it works pretty well ???? Sadly, when it doesn't work ... Cue all those who have had negative experiences ???? -
What travel warnings do other nations give their citizens about US violence?
Crossy replied to Scott's topic in World News
Exactly, we never check when travelling "home", which is the whole purpose of this thread asking "What do others say about us?". -
What travel warnings do other nations give their citizens about US violence?
Crossy replied to Scott's topic in World News
The OP does raise an interesting question, few of us bother looking for advice when travelling to our home countries, I mean, what could possibly go wrong? Here's the latest UK travel advisory for the US https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/usa And, just to keep things level, the latest US travel advisory for the UK https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/united-kingdom-travel-advisory.html EDIT Having read both of those, I think I'll stay here ???? -
Troubling looking electrical wires, how bad really is it?
Crossy replied to NorthernRyland's topic in The Electrical Forum
Can you get a closer photo of the actual breakers, it does look like you have no earth leakage protection ???? If you could do a photo with the lid off the box we can get an idea of what's actually been wired, it LOOKS a neat job, but looks can be deceiving ???? -
