  1. Yeah, the earliest our meter chap ever comes is the 16th (always February), the latest the 19th. So we are set to not export on those days every month. If he comes before the 19th I can manually let the brake off. We are lucky that he usually rolls up about 7AM before any significant generation has started, but ...
  2. BTS to start tours of historical nightspots around Nana and Asoke stations
  3. Now if they could just program the EVs to spontaneously combust in the Kremlin basement parking ...
  4. The electric car chargers along one of the most important freeways in Russia are all down Monday after the Ukrainian company tasked with building the main components in the chargers used backdoor access to hack them, shut them down, and program anti-Putin/pro-Ukrainian messages to scroll past on their screens https://jalopnik.com/russian-company-outsourced-the-main-components-in-ev-ch-1848603252
  5. Numbers for February, a short and variable month with a low daily production of 15.7kWh and a high of a very satisfactory 43.9kWh. Total solar for the month is 759kWh whilst we used 228kWh from PEA.
  6. Or at least accurate as-built drawings (which are about a common as unicorn droppings). Not, I hasten to add, one of my jobs, but someone cut a very expensive core!
  7. Many grid-tie inverters available which have no-export built in, far easier than messing about with separate units. I'm 100% certain there are units available to monitor your grid connection and turn on dump load (water heater) when it looks like you might export. I've not actually looked for one mind.
  8. It does from a volt-drop perspective, it doesn't affect safety but excessive drop will reduce the power available to heat your water.
  9. You'll be fine, I can shave far, far more rapidly than my teen grand-daughter takes in the shower.
  10. Yeah, could be, it's a loooong time since I registered.
  11. If you can do a decent inline twist and solder it (you need a big iron [>100W] to get a good joint) then add heatshrink that should be good to go. 6kW on 2.5mm2 is definitely marginal (do you have teenage girls?), probably OK on a shower for "normal" usage.
  12. Have you got the latest version of the app? I thought the later ones had an English option.
  13. True, if it's likely to get damp then choc-n-heatshrink would work ok.
  14. If you have space the black TB-25 screw connectors are better than choc-blok. They are 25A but are fine for your shower, there are 45A ones available but unlikely in the retail stores. If you must use choc-blok strip the wires long enough that both wires pass under both screws for a better connection. Do check where your heater is fed from, it's not at all unusual for the "installer" to splice into the incoming supply bypassing all your Safe-T-Cut etc. protection ????
  15. Yeah, there's a set near us in northern BKK that go red-flash about 21.30. Turning right there would shave 10 minutes off my journey. I don't, the way that the approaching traffic treats flashing-red as "green" scares the willies out of me. 10 minutes on my journey is nothing compared to ...
  16. I video call every week to my youngest (Line) and parents (Skype) in the UK, both using video, both on my ancient i5 PC. Occasional issues with delay / echo / some other problem, but it's usually fixed with a re-dial. One thing I could never get working reliably on my PC is Facebook Messenger, it always moans about not having access to the mic / camera / both, neither of the other apps (or Zoom or Teams or Google Meet) seem to have this issue.
  17. It may actually belong to PEA even if it's on the property. Even if it was paid for by the property owner. Task A would be to talk to your local PEA office and see exactly what the position is. Hopefully they won't be asking for outstanding bills to be settled.
  18. Yes. https://www.astrazeneca.com/country-sites/thailand/press-releases/astrazenecas-covid-19-vaccine-manufactured-in-thailand-authorised-for-world-health-organization-emergency-use.html
  19. Odd, it doesn't work for me now either, neither does the bit.ly in the image ???? Sorry, for some reason it worked earlier for me, now it's geo-locked, ok with a US VPN ????
  20. I would certainly be tempted, but 'twill be $$$ ???? https://news4sanantonio.com/news/local/to-the-future-delorean-is-making-a-comeback-in-2022-automobiles-electric-time-machine-texas-classics-doc-brown-marty-mcfly
