  1. I listened on the radio to most of his acceptance speech and though it was quite good, as you say he didn't mention "operation warp speed" I think giving Biden the "credit" may be a politicly astute move on his part.
  2. You might try a little trick which is to slightly loosen the screws/bolts whatever holds the plastic bits together so they can expand and contract easily...the other thing that can be rather noisy is the start relay often found on a motherboard circuit incorporated into the evaporator unit (inside) mine was especially loud and woke me up all night when brand new but seemed to wear in after a while and become quieter......after I blew up the motherboard ( accidentality with the pressure washer ) the new replacement board had a very nice quiet relay 😋
  3. Just the day before this debacle I decided time to move away from Windows XP as it's getting harder to find new programs that will work (properly or at all) especially web browsers due to lack of updates in security protocols. Anyway I installed Win7 and now have a triple boot machine Windows XP Pro 64, Windows7 Ultimate and Debian11 Debian11 being the default boot OS and the one I use the most now and try not to use Windows but sometimes the learning curve is too high and there is already a program I know how to use sitting there in the windows partition so give in and use that.
  4. @The Fugitive said never needed attention I assume yours needed to be cleaned a few times in 24 years ?
  5. They did some good Feng shui to place it exactly in the one spot (in the universe) where no dust or mould builds up and the machine magically cleans itself ?
  6. Quite unbelievable a true unicorn of machines
  7. North Korea has not supplied any troops.. European troops to Ukraine means WWIII hope you're well prepared for that..signed up for service yet, how about your sons and daughters and their kids sign them up too...for "democracy"
  8. Well I asked the OP what the bike was but got no answers which bike do you leave the keys in CBR,Ducati or the Yamaha personally I always take the keys with me. even when driving my "motersai harng"
  9. Ahh I think you got that 180 degrees backwards reference the recent statement by Linsey Graham Well yes that was/is one of Russia's red lines no NATO for Ukraine who should remain neutral/independent as a buffer zone.
  10. I'm pretty sure those are not enshrined as human rights in any country of this world..maybe in a parallel universe 😋
  11. If I had my way I'd just legalise it all, there could then be some sort of "regulation" safety and addiction problems paid for by a token amount of taxation.
  12. Seeing as no one has replied I'll suggest you go to Tukcom on south Pattaya road and ask a few/many shops in there on the mobile phone and computer floors...take the stuff with you to help explain what you need done..I'm sure someone there will be willing and capable to do the job but be persistent may take a while to find the right person.
  13. I was almost refused boarding on a plane from Heathrow because the lettering on the outer cover of my passport had been rubbed off due to me keeping it in my pocket whist travelling around Thailand ( a few times back and forth before the lettering wore off)..I don't do that now just keep a copy of my passport photo page in my wallet/pocket instead.
  14. Always bemused as to why/how "sex toys" are "illegal" how about a cucumber,carrot,banana or those massage wands.. while at the same time there are thousands of soapy massage places and curtain hotels all over the country I'm all for the liberalisation of porn,sex toys,sex work,massage parlours,curtain hotels,carrots,cucumbers,bananas etc etc etc and how on earth is this related except that some military equipment is rather phallic.
  15. But they said this war was about "freedom and democracy" that evil Hitler Putin is going to take over Europe unless stopped by those brave Ukrainian defenders as such we should all throw billions of Dollars/Euros/Pounds in armaments and other supplies else we'll all be speaking Russian.. no ???
  16. Ok that's "technically" true if I'm on a main road and wanting to turn into a side road on the right I do have to wait for traffic coming from "my left" (which is on the right hand side of the road) to pass/clear before making my turn to the right. At a cross road turning right I'll have to wait first for traffic on the right and then for traffic on the left. Roundabouts are so easy and efficient they tried one (twice) on Jomtien second road but it didn't last long on both occasions due to a few accidents now back to long wait for traffic lights 💩
  17. The stop sign is woefully inadequate, no fault of its own the person/s responsible for road planning needs a good kick in the "goolies" there should be no ambiguity as to who has right of way at the junctions this road along with many others is a death trap due to bad road layout/planing/signage.
  18. Excuse my poor taste but I wonder If he will be Bjorn again ?
  19. Exactly, but now they are desperately floundering for any diversion and will claim it is Trump who has cognitive issues. It's the same old play book of accuse the opponent of the very things you are guilty of.
  20. Well that explains why they can't use roundabouts and why motorcycles just dart out of a turning turning left without looking and expect everyone to avoid crashing into them ! unfortunately the laws of physics are not on the side of this silly traffic law..... well the interpretation of this law. I think it only applies at an "unmarked" cross road when you are wanting to turn right that's the only time this could make sense or else there can be no traffic flow as everyone on main roads would have to keep stopping for vehicles entering from side roads on the left. As Thailand is a left hand side of the road driving country I follow the UK rule of giving way to traffic coming from the right as the top priority but obviously mindful at all times of traffic from the left,behind,in front,to the right and occasionally ( only in Thailand) from above and below 😋
  21. Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia? Because he doesn't have dementia but someone else does ? trying not to report on the other persons dementia limits their ability to claim that Trump has the same affliction ?
  22. A marvellous job of messing up the road,promenade and beach once again, bravo ! soon there will be no more shade trees just like on Pattaya beach scrawny no shade palm trees nowhere to sit unless paying a beach chair vendor...bring your own chair and get chased off by angry mob park your car/truck/bike in the wrong spot (on the public road) get chased off by same angry mob.
  23. Every which way but loose
  24. Neither do I most all of them also sell the crappy ( some not crappy) Chinese brands too but no one wants to touch them if there is a problem or need a new battery I've had better luck on Lazada and Shopee finding spares and doing it myself for battery and screen replacement... the surface mount micro soldering is almost always beyond me though.
  25. They couldn't fix the USB charging ports on my ACER or ASUS phones either not sure if its lack of spares,lack of knowledge,lack of thinking outside the box or just lack of Samsung (which seems the only brand they want to touch)
