Report Diners Stop Customer Trying to Skip VAT at Bangkok Ramen Restaurant
BritManToo replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Now you're desperately quibbling. -
First advertised as having to fill in before boarding a flight. Now you can fill it in on arrival, same as the paper version. Effectively it's gone away. Announcement banning cannabis on 1 Jan 2025. Also gone away. Having you Thai D/l on your mobile phone. Gone away. New tm30 on each arrival. Gone away.

Eu law, the advertised price is the price you pay. They may itemise the bill in different ways, but can't charge more than the sticker price. -
Novice wants to increase disk space on C drive
BritManToo replied to giddyup's topic in IT and Computers
SD cards are different and most experienced users understand that. Bootable partition, manufacturers encryption software partition, os install partition, data partition. I have no need to backup my boot SSD, win10 bootable SD card can install a fresh new install in 10 minutes (add 5 mins if I want Microsoft to create an entirely new updated boot SSD from the net). Then 20 seconds for GitHub powershell to activate. -
And Thai housewives can be just as bad ....... Experienced one this morning, outside my house, single mom, 40+, grab driver living with her retired parents. Outside my house calling and making odd sounds, I asked her what was wrong, budgie escape sitting on my upstairs balcony. Invited her in to try and catch it, up the stairs, through my bedroom, onto the balcony ...... Almost fainted as she brushed past me, nice lady, always happy. Budgie saved though!

1. You're forgetting 80/20 where 80% of women are attracted to 20% of men (although I've found it more to be more like 95/5) like most men I'm in the unattractive 80%, not a monster, but equally not attractive. If I were a woman, I wouldn't desire me. And why would you want to have deviant sex with her? Missionary and spooning is enough for most normal men.

Novice wants to increase disk space on C drive

Common but pointless and outdated. Best practice is to have your OS on expensive fast storage like SSD, for lightning fast boot and operation, then keep data on a mechanical drive where size is more important than speed of access. My desktop pc runs on a 256gb SSD, with a 10TB NAS for slow data (movies, music, TV, photos, documents) and a 10TB usb drive for games and data backup. -

Buy a bigger hard drive and clone the small original drive onto the new bigger drive. Don't partition hard drives, it's outdated practice, 1 partition occupies entire disk space. Also disk use depends on if it's a laptop, desktop, or NAS. On a desktop, operating system on SSD, data on much larger SATA. But we can only guess as you haven't revealed the size and type of your drive C, and if it's mechanically separate to your drive D or just the same drive partitioned. -
Was a landlord in the 1970s, rented student and social housing to people who didn't pay their own rent. Students paying the entire term in advance. Pensioners and welfare recipients, paid direct by social services. All rent controlled by the local councils (Brighton and Worthing) If I were a landlord today, I'd be renting to illegals arriving on boats paid directly by social services. Zero point in renting to working people who might lose their jobs and not pay, because you couldn't get them out. The profit was only ever in renting for guaranteed payment by the UK government. The boat arrivals are an amazing profit opportunity for current landlords and I'd much prefer to rent to them (via direct government payments) than ordinary working people.

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
BritManToo replied to Bandersnatch's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
As long as they were selling electricity, and getting another meter rent, why would they care what was connected to the meter? -
No affordable housing for ordinary working people, mostly for foreign illegals and single mums. Renters rights bills always results in higher rents, and harder for the ordinary working people to rent.
