  1. How about calling on relevant government agencies to enforce stricter regulations on ALL construction projects. Builders the world over find ways to cut corners for one reason or another usually for either laziness or monetary gain. It is down to the local Health and Safety Executive, which is what we call it in the UK, to strenuously to enforce building site safety regulations. As far as locals believing in the supernatural is concerned, this is what the monks want. It keeps them in a job and maintains their pseudo superiority over the villagers and, of course, ensures the monks receive their daily food allowance from said villagers. Footnote. Buddha said to his followers "Do not worship me. I am not a god" Hey Ho. Simple people have other ideas..... ps I am a godless heathen so I know nothing.
  2. How was she on Einstein's Laws of Relativity ......?
  3. Thai post is possibly ok in other areas but some things sent to me from UK never get past the local main office.
  4. And of course, these improved prices will be shared with the farmers. NOT.
  5. They should have got a better picture of her.
  6. I think you may have a problem.
  7. When a student starts talking about going on to university, I ask them what subject aare they going to study for their degree. The answer I get is very vague. They have no idea about the sort of work they want to do. Another thing is that when students talk of going to university they really mean college which is more vocational.
  8. At 83, you don't give a toss for "elderly care" but instead get out and enjoy what are your last years. Good for him and I hope he is found alive and well.
  9. Drying rice on public roads is not allowed but having said that, many people do it. It should be made compulsory to erect warning signs and flashing lights etc.
  10. I'd go with the air filter change idea. When the mixture (petrol/air) is a bit weak, the engine runs hotter and may smell hot (something burning) and of course the engine won't have the power it normally has and will readily stall.
  11. "They" don't make these large roundabouts because Thai drivers don't understand how they work.
  12. Not just important files. You can share Youtube videos the same way if you're so inclined.
  13. That's a question akin to how long is a piece of string. Generally I tend to go round corners on the assumption that someone has built a wall out of sight across the road and I need to be doing a speed that I can stop quickly without losing control.
  14. Unmarked roadworks. 01:30 in the morning. Motor cyclist 16 years old. Car driver lost control possibly going way too fast and trying to avoid road works. Plenty of things to go wrong.
  15. Yes I'm not surprised. There are cooling kits on the market which, as well as cooling the panels will also supply hot water. These come as a sort of copper pipe looped backward and forwards in contact with the rear of the panel. Another trick is to sprinkle the panels with water all day and recirculate it with a gutter arrangement but with this the water needs to be kept free of dirt and minerals which could stain the panels and thus reduce the light hitting the solar cells.
  16. Not really a problem with solar. The heat is not caused by the panels so much as the sun shining on them. Panels mounted over water have much of that heat removed by the cooler water. This makes the panels more efficient but I suspect you know all this basic stuff already.
  17. Nice ad. for the Moto GP circuit but the topic is F1 not Moto GP. The Buriram circuit is very compact and totally unsuitable for F1. It would take a huge amount of money to bring it up to F1 standard. I think Chid Chob would love to upgrade it but he 'aint got that sort of cash to gamble.
  18. From the air, Suvarnabhumi airport looks like a couple of copulating caterpillars.
  19. Ahaa. The wifey. That's a heat source I hadn't considered. You could be quite reasonably consider a 3MW inverter A/C for that I expect. Any further talk of your 'figs' and I will be tempted to report you.
  20. There are a number of heat sources in solar power production some of which don't care if the ambient temperature goes up a bit (within reason). There is no point to waste A/C power trying to keep inverters etc. at 25ºC. It would be more energy efficient to enclose just the batteries and control the temperature of that enclosure. That figure of 25ºC is an older standard, particularly important for lead acid batteries, which can be increased to 30ºC for LiFePO4's and Lead Carbon batteries. Added to that I have long been advocating to charge batteries to less than 100%. It is far less stressful on the chemistry and will prolong the battery's life if it is only charged to (say) 95%.
  21. These regulations are very flexible depending on a persons wealth and nothing else.
  22. Agreed Plus Make it ilegal for a non-qualified person to undertake any electrical work.
  23. If Trump comes across as "quite Barmy", what does that say about the millions who voted for him? I used to think of America as the land of high tech and cutting edge innovation and, above all, well educated and reasonably intelligent people. Clearly my thinking is in need of adjustment.
  24. Teacher can only live in welfare accommodation? Salary must be crap. No wonder there is so much corruption
