  1. So I'm on the one year extension by virtue of being married to a Thai wife from a non-O Visa.  The problem is, this cycle started years ago, the leave Thailand date is Nov 28th, I file the renewal package about a month ahead but immigration always makes me come back on Dec 28th for the actual stamp which is always interfering with Dec plans with kids school winter vacation.  Is there anyway to get off this current renewal cycle to a month earlier?  Thanks in advance!

    You're saying that if you could have sex with a size 2, good looking backpacker, you'd wave her off with a disgusted, "no interest"?

    Size 2! Sounds like your looking to get it on with Princess Tinyfeet!  Wait, we are talking shoe size, right?

    I get 500-600 mbps towards singapore on my fiber. You won't get more than 150 mbps towards EU or US on a single connection due to MTU and latency.

    There is that.  Just had the tech guys out who tinkered with the wireless router provided by the company.  500Mbps up and down on 5g is up to snuff, the 2.4g went from 20Mbps to over 100Mbps.  Looks like original setting were the lowest bands in each frequency.  Thanks for the response.

    I can believe that, 2 polarities ( creation, destruction) and a point of equilibrium (preservation). ????

    But true equilibrium does not exist, even at the quantum level.  There is always a pendulum like oscillation about a phantom middle that we average as an equilibrium amount.  It is the actual width of the variation from that phantom middle that affects us.  Good times are when we swing through that phantom middle and call that stability.

  5. "They've gone to plaid"

    Ha!  I'm signed up for 500Mbits up and down at home and can't get anymore than 18Mbits down and 11 Mbits up on fiber.  Paying for 1Gbits down and 500Mbits up for my college kids in BKK and they can't get even 1/2 of what is advertised.  Calls just have you do the same rebooting of equipment with no change in speed.  This would be a law suit in the US.

    He is certain to get a custodial sentence -should be life but likely far less, so whats with the nonsense of giving him bail now, when there is absolutely no doubt of his guilt.

     

    If I were the 8 year old daughter, who sadly witnessed her parents being knifed to death -something she will never never forget - I would be waiting for the murderer to be set free, then either kill him myself or pay someone to do it.  Justice needs to be served!

    Might I offer her a role model for such.

    These guys were getting in a good read before the rest of the pack showed up so they could begin their right proper pub crawl.  Going to be a hell of a night!  I now have a sudden urge to buy a top hat.

    After spending over 45 years in the cockpit of both fixed-wing and helicopters mostly in the Persian Gulf, I’m now listening to a few Generals wanting F-35’s here in T’land.
    Hell, I’d kinda like to have an F-35 as well….. But, let’s be realistic. I think a flock of F-16’s will suffice.

    Agree, perfect plane for them.  Ex-aerospace Engr.

    I think the humour went right over your head ????

     

    No, that was obvious.  But it did get me ruminating about how things have come together to make us, us and the statistical improbabilities or where ideas flourish from that shape human history.  Did you ever watch The Ascent of Man or Connections or original Cosmos series?  You might wanna.

    Ya, like they are the only form of air pollution.  I went running in Shanghai in Jan of 1987 (working an aerospace project with Douglas Aircraft and the Chinese Gov.) and damn near blew my lungs out from the sulfur dioxide in the air from coal burning.  I could taste the sulfuric acid in my mouth.  BTW:

    Particles less than 10 micrometers in diameter can get deep into your lungs and some may even get into your bloodstream. Of these, particles less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter, also known as fine particles or PM2.5, pose the greatest risk to health.  These masks are rated on 2.5 minimum diameter.
