Not really new, but it made me smile, again. A WIFE Sends a Message to Her HUSBAND WIFE: “Honey, please don't forget to buy bread when you're coming home from work, and lest I forget... Your girlfriend Elizabeth is also here and says hello to you.” HUSBAND: Who is Elizabeth? WIFE: Nobody, I just wanted you to respond, so I can have confirmation that you saw my message. HUSBAND: But I’m with Elizabeth right now, I thought you saw us! WIFE: What! Where are you? HUSBAND: Near the neighbourhood bakery. WIFE: Wait, I’m coming right now! After 5 minutes, his wife sends a message: WIFE: I’m at the bakery, where are you? HUSBAND: I’m at work. Now that you’re at the bakery, please buy the bread and go home!

Unlikely really, I regularly pay that, never had a duff one. You could try two caps on the still glowy one (so 3 wires in each hole).

Bu99er! It doesn't matter which side of the connector the cap goes. You could try swapping the wires at the fixture (swap blue and brown), it probably won't help but desperation is setting in.

For any insurance related stuff, it's worth talking to AAinsurance They have access to all the major providers that operate in Thailand. -
Did the caps fix the problem??

Growatt SPF5000ES Offgrid 9kw DIY Solar Project
Crossy replied to Pink7's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Yeah, that was the actual failure, but what triggered it, bad crimp, damp, just not quite plugged? -

Aerial/booster to watch CH7 (not cable/satellite)
Crossy replied to scottiejohn's topic in Chiang Mai
Have you checked out the DSTV coverage app, it's in the Thai Google Playstore, that should tell you how big an antenna you need and which way to point it, get all the DSTV free-to-air stuff. -
Use Taylor Swift disappointment to fuel Thai soft power
Crossy replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Missing Taylor Swift? How about The Heimatdamisch, Conny has a voice, she's just not quite Ms Swift. -
@GammaGlobulin we ALL have a writing style, just like we all have an accent and an <insert appropriate slang term for rectum here>. I have a Bolton accent (check out Fred Dibnah on YouTube) and a "techy" writing style (it's what I've done to earn a crust for much longer than I care to remember). It's all part of who we are. NOTE to other members: - Personal attacks on the open forum or by PM will not be tolerated!

Correct, either way round is fine

Any indication what cause the failure? -
How about this (1.5 guesses as to where it came from): - Here's a simplified explanation of Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMB) fit for a bright 10-year-old: Imagine the Universe's Super-Giant Birthday The universe had a birthday a LONG time ago – way before you, me, or even dinosaurs! We call this the Big Bang. Just imagine the hottest explosion ever! It made the universe grow really, really fast, like a balloon blowing up. It was SO hot in the early universe that it glowed like a giant fireball. The Ever-Cooling Glow As the universe kept blowing up bigger and bigger, it started to cool down. Think of a cup of hot chocolate that gets a little colder over time. That fireball glow didn't disappear – instead, it cooled down so much we can't see it anymore with our eyes. But it's still all around us! Microwave Flashlight from the Past Scientists have special telescopes, kind of like super-powerful microwave ovens, that can "see" that old glow. This old glow is known as Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation. It's like a flashlight shining from the very beginning of the universe. Why It Matters The CMB is like a baby photo of the universe. It tells scientists: How the universe was born How old it is How it's been changing all this time Want to get extra fancy? Sometimes the CMB is called the "echo of the Big Bang" because it's leftover energy from that giant explosion!

People! Let's show a modicum of respect. It matters not what her nationality was, she was a human being. A number of posts (and the reasonable responses) have been nuked.

Baby Crocodiles Discovered in Biggest Freshwater Lake After 7-Year Absence
Crossy replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
Skinny-dipping anyone? One evening an old farmer went to go down to the lake, as he hasn't been there in a while, he grabbed a five-gallon bucket and some meat. As he neared the lake, he heard some voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny dipping in the lake. He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end. One of the women shouted at him "we're not coming out until you leave!" The old man frowned, "I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or get out of the lake naked". Holding the bucket up he said "I'm here to feed the crocodile." -
I recall using a bar in HK called "Wall Street" where the prices varied dynamically according to demand for particular beverages. It was all controlled by a Sinclair ZX-Spectrum! (did I say it was a while ago??) EDIT Looks like it still exists (or at least the one I recall was in Tsim-Sha-Tsui too), but no mention of dynamic pricing. https://www.openrice.com/en/hongkong/r-the-wall-street-bar-lounge-tsim-sha-tsui-international-wine-r663210

Wendy's is looking to test having the prices of its menu items in the U.S. fluctuate throughout the day based on demand, implementing a strategy that has already taken hold with ride-sharing companies and ticket sellers. Wendy's has "no plans to expand" its new surge pricing trial into Canada, its media relations office told CTV News in an email. During a conference call earlier this month, Wendy's CEO Kirk Tanner said that the Dublin, Ohio-based burger chain will start testing dynamic pricing, also known as surge pricing, as early as next year. https://www.ctvnews.ca/business/burger-chain-wendy-s-looking-to-test-surge-pricing-at-restaurants-as-early-as-next-year-1.6785412
