Shocking surge: Thai electricity tariffs set to spark debate
Yeah! My new home will be completed in about a month and solar system is already installed. Don't know if it is big enough to provide all the electricity. 10K inverter and 20K of batteries. Can add more later if needed. Thinking of getting an EV with bidirectional charging for extra storage.

British-Thai couple ‘paws’ to save puppy from restaurant abuse
We now have 3 thai dogs we 'rescued'. The first one we also named Lucky. My wife always feels bad when she sees these abandoned dogs and wants to save them. I keep telling her there are millions of them in Thailand and you can't help them all.

Thai People Support the Reclassification of Marijuana as a Narcotic Substance
Actually the last PM at one point said he was considering making meth legal because Thai people were not like foreigners and knew how to handle it. He said it was useful for students and truck drivers.

pros and cons of leaving one's passport at a Thai Visa Agent's office.
You can do the 90 day up to 7 days late at the local immigration office. Alternatively if you just blow it off you will have to pay a 2,000 baht fine next time. The biggest cons of using an agent is paying for something that is free. Also some people have lost their passports using agents.

Finance Ministry Pushes 99-Year Leases for Foreigners
The best solution is to stop overbuilding. (Which you know they are going to blindly continue to build) Why would you want to lease a unit when you can buy one? Now if they were talking about 99 year leases for land that would be something else.

How close have you come to being electrocuted in Thailand?
That is a circuit breaker switch. Normally the breakers are placed inside of a case. Even in the case on the top where the wires come in(or out) there is space for water to run in. Best to use silicone to seal around it if it is somewhere it can be exposed to water.

The killer of seven (or maybe more)…jing-joks
I don't like their droppings all over the house. But I don't kill them. If I can catch them I move them outside. I tell them beforehand not to drop their tail because I'm not going to hurt them but they rarely listen to me.

Finding a decent toolbox in Thailand?
This is a decent one. But I have not found any with removable metal trays. If you buy this same toolbox with tools in it there are plastic trays that are not really meant to be removed. SATA 5 tray toolbox

The President Can Now Assassinate You, Officially
Has anyone read the actual decision. They did not say a president is immune from prosecution for anything he does. "Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, rejected Trump's broad immunity claims and said Trump has immunity only for his "official" acts as president. The high court did not determine what constitutes an official act in this case, leaving that to the lower court." Trump has some immunity in D.C. election interference case, Supreme Court rules: Highlights (nbcnews.com)
