DrPhibes replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Ya, ya, we all know peddling pink pineapple is technically illegal but we all know where to get it ???? -
Are you describing my wife's breath after eating a large plate of Pak Min and whole raw clove of garlic?

Have a patch of natural growth about 1/4 rai on our walk around the compound, counted 36 along one side, never have seen anything close to that before. Was like a Disney movie. San Phi Suea.

Reporting back after picking up my laptop 24hrs after dropping off at Befixed, 2nd floor Mee Chock plaza. Fans and keyboard replaced for 500 baht (I provided the parts I brought back from the US). I gave him 600 as I knew he had to spend a lot of time on this. Very friendly guy who does good work, I definitely recommend.

So changing out the fans and keyboard of a 2018 Dell Alienware 17 R4 laptop. He will have to breakdown the unit to taking the motherboard out. Gave him the parts, just too intricate of a deconstruction for my taste. Will report back on how it goes and price.

Thanks all, will try Befixed and report back my experience.

Have a higher end 17 inch Alienware laptop where the keyboard and cooling fans (very noisy over time, common problem) need to be replaced. I have the replacement parts but after watching a couple of Youtube videos where experienced guys were taking 20 - 30min just to breakdown the machine to the level of replacing the items, I would like to defer this to a shop that repairs such as a normal course of business. Any recommendations in CM? Thanks in advance as always!

scrap test and go latest good news
DrPhibes replied to Harveyboy's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
So, I was a bit too motivated and obtained my Thaipass 3 days before the announcement. Does this mean I can cancel my SH+ hotel and PCR test without jeopardizing my Thaipass? Thanks in advance. -
Just my luck, applied for and received my Thaipass (vaccinated) for a May 17th arrival not 3 days before the change starting May 1st was announced. I assume I can cancel the SH+ hotel and the PCR test to get a refund but have not seen that previously granted Thaipass are able to do that. Anybody think there might be a disqualification of my Thaipass if I do that? Thanks in advance as always.

Amounts quoted as taking are already the 1/2 cut pills dosage. Original pills dosages before cutting are 40mg Micardis, 5mg Amlodepine, and 25mg Chlorthalidone. Don't have each medicine broken out as I buy the 3 medicines together and get 1 total. When I worked out the 45 cents USD per day the baht was 30 to 1 USD given the number of dosages I purchased (about 1 yrs worth in 1 shot). Overseas right now so don't have access to the purchase slip.

What is the advantage of an expensive smart phone?
DrPhibes replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
Galaxy Note 10+ 1.25 terabytes of memory, what doesn't it do? Use it for business (can sit and have a beer making money while the wife spends 1.5hrs roaming the wet market), communications with family/friends overseas, banking (highest level of paid security), investing, entertainment (kudos on the speaker qual), language translator (Lens app is a lifesaver), road map, magnifying glass, compass, altimeter, bubble level, fitness tracker, calendar, can tell me what star I'm looking at, has all the office productivity software of a computer, print to my printer at home no matter where I am, heck if I could emulate win10-powerful enough to run my business software, takes stunning pics, oh ya, and it's a phone. Depends on what your needs are, for me it is a single mobile handheld replacement for my computer/camera/etc. If your retired, have no business going on, not a photo bug, and not super comfortable with tech, then there is no need for you to pay for such a phone. Take a few minutes and figure out what your needs are and find a phone that fits them. -
Omicron is here is it time to get boosted?
DrPhibes replied to yogi yogi's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Report from Southern California on boosters. The rumors of just walking into a pharmacy and get a shot are no longer true. You have to make an online appt where the software calculates when you can get your booster shot and sets you up an appt. Some pharmacy's web sites won't even let you sign up until your eligibile. Luckily, the booster time is down to 5mo from second shot so have an appt in a couple of weeks for the Pfizer booster, Moderna was not a choice as a booster on the pharmacy site I used. -
Reporting back as promised. JAL. Wants you to use an app called Verify to upload all the necessary info (which included the hospital certificate AND an attestation to no COVID the US wants you to have printed out and signed) before you get to the airport to leave. Worked perfect, no one asked for paperwork once I showed the approved Verify pass on my phone If going to LAX, there is a quick survey you must fill out online before you arrive, QR code JAL gives you takes you to it. I literally walked through immigration at LAX armed with just my passport and Verify. Only negative thing is jet lag kicking my booty, never had it this bad.

Virologist Warns That Children Can Trigger COVID-19 Clusters
DrPhibes replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
You beat me to it! Had already downloaded the same pic just from the post title!!! -
In BKK leaving in a few days for the US, live in CM. Spent 2 days trying to find a booster here in BKK but because I had 2 Pfizer's, the hospitals and innoculation centers would not give me one but now I'm hearing people in CM with 2 Pfizers are getting boosters. There is just no consistency in any of this.

So I got my Chem Eng degree at UCSB after a previous Chem and Medical Techn degree at another college so old enough to go out by then while at UCSB. I used to go to the local strip place (Spearmint Rhino) in Santa Barbara every once in a while and ran into this looker stripping to topless who said she was putting herself through Mechanical Eng Grad school at UCSB. Ya, sure, I'm thinking until I actually ran into her at UCSB in the Mechanical Eng building, she recognized me but I did not her (I need to start looking up more often) and laughed. I realized then who it was and we actually had a beer later (but that's it). The best part was, there is a nude beach (More Mesa) not far from campus where I ran into her again au naturel and no <deleted> said, "well now I've seen everything!" without thinking and that led to a huge burst of laughter from both of us. Had I not been seriously dating a Chinese girl that skipped 3 grades, had the nickname "wine vat", number 2 dancer at Cal Poly SLO, graduating a normally 6 yr program in 3.5 yrs, and was just as motivated between the sheets....

Tough to keep up when things changing daily all over the world. Thanks for the heads up!

Over a million Moderna doses just arrived a couple of days ago. Anyone hear of walk in boosters in Bangkok? Leaving to the US in 6 days and they have a 6mo policy before you can get a booster and I'm only 4 months in from my second Pfizer. Thanks in advance!

See if the new machine has an NVme M.2 slot (most newer ones do). Upgraded from a standard 2.5" SSD to a 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 drive and the results were stunning. About 6x faster once all settings dialed in. Boot up/down is almost instant. You can use Macrium free for 30 days to do the clone from the old drive.

Some of my friends are rocket scientists and more ???? Trying to get the skinny on what exactly is the bottleneck holding up Raptor engine production for Musk. I think there is a design flaw in one of the pumps due to an alloy choice for the pressures involved but I'm still waiting to hear what exactly. It might be the last straw for Raptor V1 and now just on to V2 which is easier to build but facilities not ramped up yet for it leading to costly delay. No such thing as an ex-Marine or Engineer!
