Have found that this happen if I have more than one page of TVF open and I have logged out on one of them. Before logout on one page was effective for all. Now if I try to log out on another page I get the error as above.

Are you looking for a batch or continuous flow dryer?

Diesel and Gas driers take a bit to set up so you don't dry to quick then suck the moisture back in.

Easiest way if you have a shed or storage pad and time,put down some old pvc pipes with air holes in them connect to a blower fan.

When humidity drops below certain number(forget now) turn on blower.

If you want hotter air,make a black plastic poly tunnel to feed the suction of blower.

My theoretical plan is to devise something that is reasonably  mobile and using an auger  to lift the rice to an elevated spreader for a cascade or "waterfall" to increase exposure to air drying between mesh screens in  a recycling  process. I can get  augers from old harvesters and construct a  bin  from sheet metal. If I get to a point where it is mechanically  functional a blower and humidity level sensors could  be  added.

I have a year to  play  anyway. lol

What? Of course it´s a comment of opinion, because this is a forum that serves such a purpose. The only thing I did was to kindly correct your error to place all medias online under the category social media. To do that I needed to quote your post for relevance, so other readers can be served the right facts.

Anyway, congratulations to your handle. I assume it was a well planned choice that you laid much thought into. ????

Ok. It seems I stand  corrected and other readers are now relevantly factually  informed.

Thanks  for contemplating  my "handle". It was indeed a deliberate choice as was my "  signature "????

Xmas?

I’m no Farmer but in presume no market as the sun is a free resource for drying. Passing the rice factories I’ve seen they dry it in Huge yards in the sun Grain driers are more common in U.K. & Europe 

I appreciate  your  reply. However what you have  observed is most likely a safe and inexpensive  moisture  balancing procedure  well into the  dry season which is  much less prone  to the inconvenience of the  weather conditions  immediately  after the harvest  urgency at source which is predominantly  small scale farmers  who must minimally  pre-condition  rice  before it will be accepted  by  intermediary  buyers .

Even then  what you  have  observed  may  not be a  drying  process  but instead a  bulk grading  process f the quality of  incoming  rice .  There is  rice  and there is  rice.

Not sure why you use the word lizards  - since that word is corona / David Icke) connected.

But those people would without any doubt do anything for money.

lol. It was a  tongue in cheek association with some dated fringe opinion. But despite that  whenever I see  a certain individual  representing the interests of a specific  mainstream social media platform I involuntarily have had to acknowledge the visual  basis of the fringe beliefs.

You might think it´s interesting. The simple answer is that you have blogs with comment sections, which is one type of online communication. After that you have forums, which usually serves the purpose of beeing informative and helful for people. As a third there is social media platforms, that is more advanced with greater functions as well as a wider variety of information and open personal profiles.

 

If you draw the line that all is same, then so be it for you.

So where  does  your post addressed to me fit into your  definition of  categories  ?

Is it a  comment of opinion, informative, or in the realm of "more" ?

Summic you can't do here.

But  on Messenger  you post  to  specific  people  rather  than an open  unless  you  choose to do so.

TVF  content  is available  to  the  world in content  without "membership".

No, he is not! You are not to include a forum in social media platforms.

Oh!  Wow! Interesting ! Perhaps  you  could present a definitive reason?

You would rather have the open economy of the US, with a quarter of a million deaths and over 4 million active cases?

The problem in Thailand is not the economy, it's a government who won't come to the aid of its citizens when the chips are down. Check out what Australia has done, a conservative government providing welfare on a scale any socialist would be proud of.

And the junta wonders why there are hundreds of thousands of Thai protesters on Bangkok streets. Duh.

To be  honest IMO I would not put so much  credit on the "pandemic"  for the agitation occurring in Thailand.

Certainly  it  may have assisted  in spurring  enough additional reactionary response not so directly associated to those who have  lost employment but to those whose aspirations indirectly  have  been cancelled by the  economic confusions.

The  reality  of the "freeze" on overall sub employment economic  expansion  has had  much less effect on the  base  macro profitability . Those  are  the industries  that form the  base  economy  regardless  of  secondary but debatably significant   secondaries.

SCOMO has  demonstrated  an uncohesive  response  second only  to Trump in many aspects.

Fortunately  for  Australians the independent  State authorities  have contraversaly  used  the  middle digit  to defy that despite  having to  ask/justify permission  to  depart  !

In Thailand the  agitation is  more  about  questioning  the legitimacy  of  reason  to stay.

About  a decade  ago I investigated the  options for small grain dryer available in Thailand. I could not  find a single one!

However  listed in China on several platforms there were several small mobile units at a reasonable  cost.

My interest  was due to the erratic weather presenting as an issue post rice harvest which observation over the prior  4  years indicated a practical need to ensure maximum crop yield value.

At that time I could not find an Import Agent  willing to facilitate the purchase . That despite that there is no  customs  import duty on agricultural machinery..

10 years on I can still not find a source or supplier of a grain drier inside Thailand.!

Nor  have  I seen any evidence of a community  facility  for  public use  to  dry annual rice crops. It seems the accepted  acommodation is the  dangerous practice of allowing the use of public  highways!

I am  now tempted  to  build my  own small scale drier . The mechanical  process is  basic enough  and the electronic moisture  sensoring  is  available  via pirating from  very  cheap  dehumidifiers !

Viva la Farmer! lol

I hope your being sarcastic.  I see beggars everyday on street corners on the Skywalk, homeless sleeping around lumpini park, in closed doorways and such here in Bangkok.  

And those massively many that do marginally  better and live indoors but in conditions that are sickenly primitive.

You start with the premise that  "most/many" expats are generally negative about Thailand in general.

I can agree "some" air generally  negative  views but I suspect at times they are those who did not fare well in Thailand for whatever reason and are  commenting from afar.

I also do not frequent farang expat clique haunts so have never experienced the Thai "life viewed through the bottom of a  glass" discussions I have been told  take place.

All I know is that when it's turned off, ie screwed down, it will shut off mains water and also stop mains water replenishing the tank. I need to be sure that it's faulty before I start cutting pvc pipes and installing a new valve, no easy job with the present set up.

If the original system and  NRV (s) are under the concrete leave it where is then maybe lay out a  new above ground replacement following the diagram Crossy  posted above ? In anticipation of  any possible future issues insert couplings either side of any NRV for  cleaning or replacement. I have used  PVC body NRV's which also conveniently function as couplings. Material costs are  minimal .

SCOMO the  Chameleon !

Gutted  that China  has  halted   coal from  Oz. 

Yay ! Huh?

meanwhile  miners  from  Western  Australia  flip in and out  of Thailand  unheralded.

What would you do?

Been here for over 15 years, I have a 19 year old boy that needs a bit of support, he has a job and in general takes care of himself, needs a motorbike for work, I keep him fed as Thai wages are not fantastic, don't ask for board and lodging, after all he is my responsibility.

 

However, and here comes the reason for the post - My Thai wife for whatever reason (has a <deleted> son from previous sex) who is now 40 or older, he is married / living with a Thai lady of similar age, 40+

 

Recently, they seem to think it is a good idea to come to our home every night at 8 or 9 pm and have dinner.

 

The food is the usual Northern Thai slop, the slight amount of meat is bought by them, however, all of the gas, electric, spices, oils etc. is at my expense....What would be the best way to tell them to pay up or <deleted> Off? 

 

I am getting old, long in the tooth, limited income, I support my Son, Wife and myself, but there is no way I am feeding two other 40 year old spoiled brats that cannot feed themselves. best way forward, least confrontation, I don't really want to shoot them.....but you never know!

Importantly in your desire  to curtail  what you find  is a problem is to establish what  your Thai wife's thoughts are. With you  or against  or indifferent (maybe) ?

Ultimately the  gas, the spices, oil etc could often be depleted awaiting  replenishment  (tomorrow or  tomorrow or  tomorrow). The difficulty is that they bring a  component of a meal which to them may seem justification.  Good luck !

If it is a feather filled item avoid  washing it  in a conventional agitator  machine.

Best is  to  soak it  in  washing machine tub or  large bowl  or even a  bath in water that has a minimal content of something  suitable  for baby  fabric diapers or sheeps wool detergent . Hand manipulate it  to  clean the  fabric then drain it a long time rather than spin dry before air drying.Some machines  have a  very  slow  spin setting which is  ok.

The critical thing  is  not  to destroy the  natural oil content of the  feather content which is  what  keeps it  expanded and separated.

If it is  an expensive genuine  down item I would  hesitate to offer it  to any laundry  service. 

The devolution of the human species assisted by the profitable supply of weapons to accelerate it.

No doubt the UN  is  in there providing  protection for the lobbyist Corporates  stripping what wealth  is available !
