  1. Whilst I agree with this comment re. working on live power lines, one does not expect nor anticipate getting a shock from a house gutter.
  2. Don\t forget to derate your panels.
  3. Out of the kindness of my heart and all that have a look at this ....... https://www.epoxy-provider.com/พนกนลน-epoxy/
  4. Are we talking politicians here? They are certainly overrated and should be confined to glass jars.
  5. I gave up collecting kids a very long time ago
  6. The number 13 is considered to be unlucky because of religious superstition. The christian story of the disciples of Jesus has it that there were originally 13 of them. Now the Romans had a price on Jesus head. For them he was a troublemaker to be got rid of. So up popped Judas the thirteenth disciple, who told the Romans where the disciples and their leader Jesus were having a bit of a bash. So the Romans turned up and captured Jesus and we all know what happened after that. The 13th disciple therefore rendered the number 13 to be incredibly unlucky from that day on.
  7. Sodium ion batteries have been around for quite a while now. They are better, in some respects, than other better known technologies and of course they do have some down sides. China, being at the forefront of solar technology and power storage have recently switched on the biggest sodium ion battery ever. https://interestingengineering.com/energy/worlds-largest-sodium-ion-battery-china

  8. When is a subsidy not a subsidy. I did a bit of fact checking on government subsidy of solar and found only two countries, Spain and Italy, make direct subsidies. The other countries listed, make tax breaks, VAT exemptions and FIT (feed in tariff) rules none of which, to my mind. costs the taxpayer anything.

  9. The ozone layer, for those unaware, is what protects us from the worst ravages of the suns relentless energy. Without it there would be no life as we know it. Holes in this ozone layer let in huge amounts of unwanted energy from the sun, far more than that which can escape from earth into space.
  10. Cooling the planet is not the aim. The aim is to stop it getting generally too hot to support life. The problem is the so called Greenhouse gasses which are preventing heat from the sun being radiated back out into space.
  11. As long as the government owns the electricity companies (some partially and some wholly) there will be no change. The revenue stream is what it's all about. Solar, in private and commercial installations is seen as depriving the government of this valuable money making enterprise. The government should not own any utilities in any way shape or form.
  12. Looking at the video I notice something falling from where the boom likely is. Can't see properly because of trees, but if that is what happened, then the crane likely became suddenly unbalanced and it's collapse inevitable.
  13. A bit like lemmings? There is, I think, the use of biometrics which seems to be fairly new. It could be that the Thai system is easy for the powers that be to sort out and, once they get that right, the foreign passports might be problem free. Not a good idea to be seen to cock-up foreign passport control I think.
  14. I really must get my eyes seen to. I first read that as reflux of visitors.
  15. Do you think that makes it an OK thing to do?
  16. Sounds like the village I came from in the UK...........
  17. She probably did receive commendations but I question who commended her. Probably her father and his cronies.
  18. Whilst looking for something vaguely related to epoxy flooring I stumbled across this. https://www.epoxydee.com/15848403/โพลียูรีเทน-โค้ทติ้ง-pu-coating Hope this helps.
  19. In Thailand Dubai seems to be the go-to place.
  20. That's the story I heard from angry railway enthusiasts. Your question and curiosity took me to Wikipedia. It seem he had nothing to do with roads atall. He was a scientist who worked on armament and zip fasteners in amongst other things.
  21. Happens all over the world. Anyone from UK remember Dr. Beeching? He was the roadbuilder politician tasked with remodeling the railways.
  22. So he's done this a few times before has he? Liar. He will be at it again as soon as he gets out.
  23. Well done Ben. Perhaps I should clarify that since we are talking of batteries, the dendrites are also battery related. "Dendrites in batteries: The invisible danger" https://www.qa-group.com/en/glossary/dendrites/
