  1. You should be able to get babies anywhere, they are very popular fish. Just make sure you have some boys in there, apparently some of the commercial growers treat the babies in some way so they all grow into the (larger) females.
  2. Dated but in good condition (these are decommissioned and need refurb.) reasonably capable, for a 1980s design Will they come with torpedoes and cruise missiles? http://www.military-today.com/navy/song_class.htm
  3. Tilapia are cheap, fast growing, indestructable and self maintaining, they are also pretty good eating, what's not to like? I'd buy a couple of hundred fingerlings (the cheap ones will be mixed sex you will need some males) and drop them in, with enough weed you probably won't need to feed them unless you do want to eat some.
  4. Further information has appeared here https://www.facebook.com/252903809515/posts/10159960591234516/?d=n It seems that you can register your card but you don't actually have to, or something like that. I might try it, just out of interest.
  5. If you don't see any cracking of the sidewalls and everything else is in good condition I would leave them alone until they approach the wear ridges, then replace when the wet starts.
  6. A 10 year old girl asks her mum, "mummy, how was I born?" The mother smiled and replied: "Once upon a time, me and your daddy decided to plant a wonderful little seed. Daddy put It in the Earth and I took care of it every single day. After a while the seed started to grow more and more leaves and in a few months it turned into a beautiful healthy plant. So we took the plant, dried it, smoked it and got so high that we forgot to use a condom.
  7. I found one EV charger that purports to be smart enough to know when the sun is shining (i.e., when the array is delivering current), and manage EV charging accordingly -- the Zappi by British solar outfitter MyEnergi -- I'm sure there must be others. EDIT If you are in a DIY mood have a look at OpenEVSE https://www.openevse.com/

    At those times you should be fine, probably even get a seat ????
  9. The Daly BMS's are a bit weak on the balance front, fine with new cells but I'd get a "flying capacitor" balancer if you are going to go with the used CALB golf-cart cells. Our cart cells are going strong, I'm going to get another pack in the next month or so. I might try the black "Sinopoly" cells, same size and style but a bit cheaper. The rigid plastic casing of these cells resists swelling pretty well, a couple of ours were very slightly swollen but it doesn't seem to affect the performance.
  10. A judge was interviewing a woman regarding her pending divorce, and asked, "What are the grounds for your divorce?" She replied, "About four acres and a nice little home in the middle of the property with a stream running by." "No," he said, "I mean what is the foundation of this case?" "It is made of concrete, brick and mortar," she responded. "I mean," he continued, "What are your relations like?" "I have an aunt and uncle living here in town, and so do my husband's parents." He said, "Do you have a real grudge?" "No," she replied, "We have a two-car carport and have never really needed one." "Please," he tried again, "is there any infidelity in your marriage?" "Yes, both my son and daughter have stereo sets. We don't necessarily like the music, but the answer to your questions is yes." "Ma'am, does your husband ever beat you up?" "Yes," she responded, "about twice a week he gets up earlier than I do." Finally, in frustration, the judge asked, "Lady, why do you want a divorce?" "Oh, I don't want a divorce," she replied. "I've never wanted a divorce. My husband does. He said he can't communicate with me!"
  11. This would mean of course that charging during the day is possible reducing the need to export / re-import (or store) energy???? I remember reading somewhere about EV chargers that can tailor their output to available solar, I'll see if I can find the reference again.
  12. Why not start a thread, tell us what you intend doing and how much energy you want to generate and someone will actually do the sums for you! And unless your meter man comes early in the morning you really do need to mitigate him seeing the meter going backwards, what the eye can't see, the heart won't grieve over!
  13. That in itself is crazy! Are these things that special you can't get them here??
  14. I will say that we've not actually bought any masks for x years, well ever to be honest. The local village office just keep delivering them for free, along with gallons of hand sanitiser (and rice + other "covid supplies"). OK the rate of supply has diminished recently but we are likely good for 2022. Our village head is a good man and spends his budget wisely, hence the solar street lighting (zero running costs) and some CCTV. I'm not going to begrudge the fee of 300 Baht a year for garbage collection (twice a week) and other village fees.
  15. It's worth having a look at my solar car port thread too although by now the "budget" bit has disappeared over the horizon.
  16. Definitely not a stupid thought. Our man only has one machine and it's loaded with pre-printed stock which does both the bill and the receipt for last month. Nothing at all about export etc. etc. It's just a shame that Fishy found out too late that his Huawei system needed special HV batteries (whilst most of us are happy with the de-facto standard 48V) and also got caught out by the relief meter-man seeing his meter whizzing backwards. But as always, hindsight is 20-20. Hopefully his battery man will deliver (eventually) and the meter issue will become moot.
  17. Warning Will Robinson, warning! Check they are good for 220V or you may end up with some expensive bin-fillers!
  18. If it's your 90 day report, you won't get kicked out, just fined. But as others note there are alternatives to report by mail or online.
  19. Generally if your permission expires on a weekend or holiday you can go the next working day. So you really must go on Monday even if there's a blizzard. But are you talking about getting an extension to your permission to stay or simply your 90 day report??
  20. I agree, but ... Where does one draw the line? Thai dryers tend to be about 2.1kw (around 9.5A @ 220V) and the local outlets are 16A. In the UK most wouldn't wire a dryer permanently, it would live quite happily on a 13A plug. Now a 3kW immersion heater is a different animal altogether.
  21. HomePro, so one would hope so, but TiT so ...
  22. Great minds think alike ???? I still don't know if I can grow weed so long as I don't smoke it, or smoke it so long as I don't grow it, or something completely different!
