Not sure what a "3pl accident" is but it seems to be happening rather a lot., makes a change from "recipient reschedule" I suppose.

If you have a modern hybrid system it should be seamless, when the solar runs out or is too small the grid supplements what you are generating. Look at on/off grid hybrids. Don't plan on putting your panels on the house, if you have space use a barn/car port/ground mount much less hassle and no risk of leaks.

You won't fry the meter 🙂 Best to check if your meter counts UP when exporting (some have reported this), ideally if your inverter supports a no-export function you should turn it on.

Crossy replied to Crossy's topic in General Topics
My last three "waiting for seller approval" timed out and Lazada refunded, the faulty remotes are useless but the other item (semiconductors) are in stock waiting for an application. -

I won't buy flash from Lazada, go to the big boys and get what you pay for. -
Coolant mixing with oil - how big an issue usually?
Crossy replied to mfinasi's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Coolant in the oil usually results in a nice white emulsion deposit on the oil filler - Is that what you are seeing? -

I've just had another incorrect item delivered, M8 threaded rod instead of M5 Once again, the return is awaiting the seller to approve. They have 2 days until I own a length of studding that will go into stock and join the pile of non-working remote controls. -
Of course, that lovely long hair comes in handy if your nookie preferences include the Rodeo. It's where you put your lady down on all fours, get her from behind, get a couple of turns of that hair around your wrist, reach over to feel her assets and then whisper in her ear, "Your sister's are better." You then try to stay on for 8 seconds.

Even long-haired wives know which individual hair is theirs!!

Android and iPhone updates this year will be dominated by AI—much of it from Google. But this comes with a serious new warning for every user, and it should change how we use our phones. Google issues AI warning for smartphone users The rollercoaster AI smartphone ride is now well underway. It was always going to be the case, that integrating generative AI into the smartphone apps we use most would eclipse last year’s ChatGPT take-up. And here we now are. But not so fast—all this comes with a huge risk to your security and privacy.

I'm sure we had a thread a while back, but I can't find it, so here's a new one. Post your "favourite" cover versions. Post the original too if you like. Anything goes: - Wow that's better than the original. I can't believe that's a cover. Xxx is performing Yyy, what the ... Er! Here's your starter for 10: -

I have a friend (I know, mods aren't allowed friends) who needs some solar kit installed on his roof. He already has the panels, inverter etc. but he needs someone to mount the panels on his roof (standard 2 floor home with a pitched roof). Probably need to supply mounting hardware too. Of course, any outfit one talks to want to sell you the whole kit and caboodle (and make a handsome profit). But TiT, I'll put money on there being a crew who could do the job over a weekend, cash in hand, just like PEA did when we got our power poles installed. Any pointers, links, etc. etc. would be welcomed. Post here or PM.

At least one member here is married to an immigration officer, I'm 99% sure he gets free medical. Having worked here since 2004 (crikey, that long!!) I have the Thai social (plus employer provided health insurance). You can continue it once retired for a fairly nominal fee. It's not perfect but it's affordable. -

The oldies are the goodies! One Sunday, when counting the money in the weekly offering, the Pastor of a small church found a pink envelope containing $1,000. It happened again the next week! The following Sunday, he watched as the offering was collected and saw an elderly woman put the distinctive pink envelope on the plate. This went on for weeks until the pastor, overcome by curiosity, approached her. “Ma’am, I couldn’t help but notice that you put $1,000 a week in the collection plate,” he stated. “Why yes,” she replied, “every week my son sends me money and I give some of it to the church.” The pastor replied, “That’s wonderful. But $1,000 is a lot, are you sure you can afford this... How much does he send you” The elderly woman answered, “$10,000 a week.” The pastor was amazed. “Your son is very successful; what does he do for a living” “He is a veterinarian,” she answered. “That’s an honorable profession, but I had no idea they made that much money,” the pastor said. “Where does he practice” The woman answered proudly, “In Nevada. He has two cathouses – one in Las Vegas, and one in Reno.”
