  1. It's to discourage tailgaters
  2. Beautiful snake, shame about the rabbit 😞 You may want to clear out any potential hiding places, next time it might not be a python 😞

    Gardening

    Do you need an actual gardener or just labour to do as you/your lady says, a "green side up" type person? Do you have tools, mower, strimmer etc. etc?
  4. Are your cables approximately equal length?? You can expect some variation as the packs charge / discharge even if everything is "identical".
  5. People. This thread dates from 2012, much has happened since then. To avoid confusion, I'm going to lock this, there's another grounding thread running.
  6. The numbers for October. A somewhat "variable" month reflecting the weather at this time of year. Best day was 39.7kWh, worst a miserable 13.9kWh. It still equates to 4,012Baht we haven't paid to PEA.
  7. Welcome to the world of the TLA - Three Letter Acronym 🙂 ESS - Energy Storage System - ok batteries. LFP - LiFePO4 - Lithium, Iron, Phosphate - The safest of the currently available lithium battery chemistries. Much less likelihood of these going whoosh compared with the NMC (Nickel, Manganese, Cobalt) chemistry that has been widely used in electric vehicles (most EV manufacturers are moving to LiFePO4 now). DOD - Depth of Discharge - how much of the ESS total capacity you actually use. Maybe we need a pinned topic with the common TLAs used in solar.
  8. Important Note: - There is mildly "grown-up" language in this video. If you choose to watch any of their other stuff ... Well, you have been warned!!
  9. Both HK and Singapore are OK to transit through. I've not flown CX this century so can't comment on them. Going via Singapore is a good 1,100km shorter flight wise. Singapore Air are really second to none even in cattle-class. Check flight times, layover times and cost of course. How about Qantas or Jetstar via Syd?
  10. My favourite AI (Bard) says: -
  11. OK, I don't know the Deye but I have a few observations. 265V as the upper limit is 240V +10% roughly, it's doing no harm there but you could reduce it if you like. 185V as the lower limit seems a bit high, particularly if you are seeing under-volt errors. Try dropping it to 180V. You may also want to extend the trip times for the under-voltage levels, say 5 seconds. Make the frequency +-0.5Hz. And give the frequency errors longer too. Does the inverter have a "country" setting?
  12. Most offices allow you to submit up to 30 days in advance, we usually go about 3 weeks early in case they come up with some new requirement. Once they have done their stuff at the office you get a 30 day "under consideration" stamp. During those 30 days you may or may not get a visit from the immigration chaps (depends upon the office, our office wants a visit every year). Verify with your office exactly what they need by way of documentation.
  13. Pretty well everything Electronic now has some form of inlet filtering which will leak to earth if an earth is present. Your 2-wire lappie power supplies, LED lamps, wall-warts etc. are designed not to need a functional earth, but inverter A/C, washing machines and of course desktop PCs being Class-1 (metal cased) and requiring a safety earth make use of the better 3-wire filters. All will give you a nip if you "forget" the earth.
  14. I wonder who will take possession of the villa contents. From another story on the subject: - Oh, and an Off Topic post has been removed.
  15. Of course, my dodgy mind immediately thought of the delightful Michelle Krusiec in Travellers Germany. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Krusiec
  16. I never had an issue getting covid jabs (Bangkok), staff at Bang Sue "seemed" happy to see a farang and assisted getting everything sorted. Took Madam for her annual flu jab, staff asked if I wanted one too (without prompting), so I'm now on the regular mailing list.
  17. Snuck into the edit window 🙂
  18. @bob smith want the options adding?? I think mods can 🙂
  19. Probably posted the fact here
  20. One friend complained to another, “All my husband and I do anymore is fight. I’ve been so upset; I’ve lost 20 pounds.” “If it’s that bad, why don’t you just leave him?” asked the second friend. “I still have 15 pounds to lose!”
