Company is literally called I-CON, and has car with plate 555 and people still don't get it?

How convenient.

I think they should have 24/7 broadcast of them like Big Brother for a month before elections - live, unedited, both of them. Darn... that would make it the lowest voter turnout in history...

Why would EU laws apply in Thailand? Anyway, our condo just announced new rules that were agreed on a couple of months ago. You can see some additional requirements for foreigners, which force (rightfully) the owner of the unit to deal with immigration. Had I been renting out, I'd certainly want to avoid that hassle and would not consider foreigner as a tenant. On the "plus" side - the part of reporting unregistered tenants to police for trespassing has now been removed, and replaced with blanket "Prohibition of Short-term Rentals" part. Our condo enforces the rules far more stringently than our neighbours. That's how they enforce "No pet" policy... Meow...

True. Here it's mostly B737 and A320, relatively small planes. Would be very different with a massive 4 engine can flying by.

No worry. He'll launch some golden underwear with TRUMP printed on it. Only 100k$ a piece. Designed by Melania.

I have planes flying past my window (DMK, not BKK) but I don't hear them. So it's definitely possible to sound proof the unit not to hear them. Obviously it's an extra expense to use double glazed windows, but it'll help with aircon bills as well. Maybe you could try that first, unless the whole building is shaking when planes fly by?

Nok is still flying, just not to Buriram. I see their planes zip past my window many times every day, with the very recognizable design. Flew with them domestic, and planes were hit and miss, some looked like new, others really needed new seats (though leg space is way larger in Nok than it is with Air Asia, and I believe same or more than Thai planes used for domestic routes). But as they have a Boeing 737 fleet, I'm less inclined to choose them than those using Airbus A320, like Thai or Air Asia.

Possible. I wonder how much you'll like your manual bicycle that replaces it...

Does that come close to Sarah Palin?

Not sure "Wanted DEAD or Alive" would help in recovering their losses...

Most? What about the rest?

This one reminds me... Back in the day, maybe 25 years ago, I was sitting at a certain Mall.... waiting for my pizza for way over an hour. Pulled out the mobile phone I just bought and called the delivery number of the restaurant, then ordered same pizza. At the end I told them I wasn't home but need to send it to a different address... their shop at the Mall, complete with table number. I got a "could you please wait a moment"... phone rang in the kitchen... a head popped out of the kitchen looking at me for a moment, then ran back in, and phone operator said pizza will be with me within 10 minutes. It was. Along with manager's apology, and bill waived. Not sure it was worth a wait but it was surely memorable moment...

When you brought up Y2K... some operating systems were having a challenge on 1/1/2000 but I think old Unix based systems were having the same on 19 Jan 2038?

Bangkok pavements are actually good. I know this will trigger many, but go say to The Mall Ngamwongwan, and walk from there back towards Bangkok. You'll know immediately when you left Nonthaburi and reached Bangkok. Obviously they are far from perfect, but compared to neighbouring province... it's day and night difference.

Books. In the past a few other things, I guess.

Hearing her say that (her aunt told the same to Western Digital and Honda in 2011 for Ayutthaya.... remember that?) I'm hoping 30+ floor is high enough...

That politician only borrows watches from dead friends...

Sneakers, now watches, what's next? Trump personally signed nukes (made of gold and sprinkled with diamonds)?

Maybe clarification. The capacitor itself would have cost me about 300 baht off Lazada, but I wasn't going to open up aircon compressor myself to replace it. Symptoms of broken capacitor: - air is not cold, looks like just internal fan is running - there is water dripping from flaps on the inner unit of aircon - sometimes it's hot air blowing inside and cooler air on the compressor - fan isn't running or is running very slowly outside Some larger compressors are designed so that anyone can replace capacitor - a couple of screws to remove front plate, pull one out, another one in, replace the plate. That was the case on 28k BTU unit. But on smaller 18k BTU unit, which was in the center of 3 compressors, the technician really earned his money by having to dismantle entire box to get to capacitor. So it depends - you can go to Shopee or Lazada to buy it - check the current capacitor size and replace it yourself (it would be good idea to cut power to aircon before you touch anything inside), or else call the aircon service company, which would charge you probably around 1500 baht total for the replacement and part. https://shopee.co.th/product/634411534/21971951040

Capacitor (starter) can is about 1500 baht, give or take, and is pretty standard on different brands of aircons. Had 2 of them replaced recently on different sized aircons, always 1500 baht... including service.

Never saw diesel tank looking like this...

Maybe gas was leaking for a long time and was already in the interior of the bus, just awaiting for the spark... When you look at the bus itself front and back it was barely damaged. So any leaky gas tanks or pipes are not terribly likely to happen during the accident, but this was just an accident waiting to happen due to shoddy maintenance and probably original work. There were another group of students on same bus a day or 2 earlier, who complained of faul smell inside the bus. I guess they were lucky ones.
