I wondered about this so had a quick look at Wiki and here is the result:- James Prescott Joule FRS FRSE (/dʒuːl/;[1][2][a] 24 December 1818 – 11 October 1889) was an English physicist, mathematician and brewer, born in Salford, Lancashire. Joule studied the nature of heat, and discovered its relationship to mechanical work. This led to the law of conservation of energy, which in turn led to the development of the first law of thermodynamics. The SI derived unit of energy, the joule, is named after him. He worked with Lord Kelvin to develop an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale, which came to be called the Kelvin scale. Joule also made observations of magnetostriction, and he found the relationship between the current through a resistor and the heat dissipated, which is also called Joule's first law. His experiments about energy transformations were first published in 1843. Man after my own heart. Being as how he was borme not too far from Manchester, I wonder is our learnéd author might have met him.......

Do you pay? It's free.

It's called "cooking the books".

I guess this is panel to panel connections. Warranty?

Pink7 mentioned the two connectors were melted. My understanding of melted connectors, limited though it is, leads me to think it may have got a bit hot. Resistive connections do things like that. Sometimes they fuse and sometimes they don't. In the case of a connector it could be the crimp not firm enough. I believe this is a fairly recent instal so I would have a look at the calibration certificate of the crimper Here are a couple of pictures of a resistive connection within a solar panel. First the rear view then the front

I cannot for the life of me understand how a "buffer zone" will fix anything. Surely a line of concrete posts stuck in the ground to mark the boundary would do. Here is part of the problem. Someone's brain was not working so well to agree to this upgrade. It would be seen as a big green light to Sor Kor Por farmers to grab as much extra as they could get when no-ones looking.

Not entirely.

I think you need a new calculator. Try 33 metres

It's cheap enough so why not? It will possibly prolong the life of the 'O' ring although, with the exception of the one mentioned, mine have been good for the last 11 years without silicone grease.

When you mate (nice wording) those MC4 connectors, be sure to fully push them completely together. I had one fail due to that. The 'O' ring inside was letting moisture in and as a result, the copper wire went a bit green before it parted. It felt like it was well assembled and it conducted electricery just fine, but it needed that extra shove to complete the seal.

It is possible to produce charcoal without making smoke. The gas and smoke produced when heating the wood needs to be directed back into the combustion chamber. It's not difficult to do but I guess the people responsible can't be bothered.

Who said so. Maybe there's more to this "agreed price" like additional terms and conditions conveniently not mentioned.

Curiosity got me on this one. I had a look at what the current monthly pay is for police officers. It's not so bad after the first five years but it's never enough to afford a Ferrari that's for sure. https://www.salaryexplorer.com/average-salary-wage-comparison-thailand-police-officer-c215j504 In addition to this there is free health care for a police officers family and also free education for the children. I'm not sure about any other perks

Don't be upset by my terminology. It just so happens I am very familiar with degenerative bone disease having seen many over the years. My comments were aimed at the misdirection in yesterdays and todays posts regarding Thaksin and his future hospital operation to "cure" him. You have my deepest sympathies. I fully understand your predicament.

A committee is involved. That'l whittle away some of the funding.

Well yes they do make a fair few bob out of it but it tends to go into a central fund for later dispersal. Rather like a christmas fund.

Poor old b'ger's got arthritis which is dressed up to look life threatening. Quote from yesterday. "degenerative bone disease" and "waiting for an operation at the police hospital to cure it". Nonsense and use of long words to feed the ignorant masses.

My thoughts too but there appears to be quite a complex web of deceit and it is spreading like ripples in a pond. Then again, it is confirmation of just how widespread corruption is including immigration who "forgot" to give me my 100 baht change the other day.

What on earth are they are talking about Degenerative bone disease is simply a posh name for arthritis for which there is no "cure".

Well one would think so but in fact forest fires are in the realm of carbon being neutral. When a forest is living it's normal life it is consuming CO2 by converting it into carbon and oxygen using photosynthesis. When we burn wood from this forest, we are releasing the CO2 that it has captured. It's not a perfect equation because those trees actually produce a bit of CO2 when living, but on balance, considerably more CO2 is consumed than is produced.

Yes but only if someone tells 'em to. Sugar cane refineries already pay more for the un-burnt raw cane. This Is attractive enough to encourage machine harvesting. The harvesters are owned by the factory who charge the farmers for harvesting. Transport lorries are privately owned and paid for by the farmer. So from this, the farmer has to pay for everything including fertilser and weed killer and, as if that wasn't enough, the farmer also pays for ploughing and planting every third year. Advice from the sugar cane refinery to the farmer is that they should burn the residue left after harvesting to kill off fungus on the fields. Note there would be no fungus if crop rotation was employed, but then the farmer would be out of pocket and the sugar refinery would probably point to a clause in their contract about supplying cane annually. Sugar cane growers can make more money than rice growers but the market is limited to sugar refineries whereas a rice grower can sell his rice to whomever he likes I grow rice and some I sell to a rice mill but most I mill myself and sell locally.

Oh Wow. I didn't know that. Not quite what I expect to see in a Miss world (or whatever) contest

This is how the UK helps it's farmers. Funding for farmers, growers and land managers Apply for grants and other funding to increase productivity, manage your land to benefit the environment and support your agricultural business. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/funding-for-farmers Pity Thailand can't do similar.

I think you need to go to specsavers.
