Ah! Good start. But there is only a single 100% risk free option: use a charger cable that has no data pins. The inner pins of a Type B connector are data. The two outer pins are power. The 'charger' cable won't have inner pins. Just look at the connector you're using. If it has data pins then you're at risk. .

It will be an instant 'classic' photo and will be in countless history books as well as enjoying a position of prominence on my living room wall. It should be in every classroom as well as a reminder of how close America came to authoritarian rule.

If it's worth doing, it's worth over-doing. Nobody scrapes only half the d*gs**t off their heel.

No rooster, it's not OK. I've seen numerous examples of moderators scolding posters about saying exactly, verbatim, what you did in your first sentence. Yeah, petty I know, but there you have it. I'm never quite understand the negative nature of such a peccadillo (word chosen specifically for your delight).

Last August, 10 days from me at post office to courier delivering to my door. Huahin I went with the bank draft payment option the embassy offered.

I agree with your protective sentiments. It is with deep regret, and born of an abiding concern for the safety and welfare of our Chinese brethren, that I must add voice to the chorus of other well-wishers: My Chinese brothers and sisters, please do not risk the existential threat that travel to Thailand poses; go anywhere else in the solar system, but make no landing in Thailand. ????

Yes, it's a problem. I did that for friends, neighbors in America etc for radio, TV, computer, printer, etc I quit after a while because if anything went wrong after I touched the device it was automatically my fault and they felt I should always fix it forever. It's nothing but a liability without compensation or end.

I agree completely. The 'packed' thing is obviously a ruse probably most often used to prevent cancelation and gain time to order the product and then reship to you, just as you say. I'm well aware of the COD vs Bank/card debates on the forums. I understand the pros/cons but am COD advocate for the simple reason that the one with the cash has the ultimate control. In the rare event I cannot find expensive items locally I buy from Lazada using bank payment, but I look very hard locally before doing so. I, like many others here have been a victim of the 'packed' to 'shipped' to 'canceled' game one too many times. Now, I give them a few days to move beyond packing. If they don't I send them a message saying if they don't ship by a certain date I will simply refuse delivery and COD payment. This is acceptable to lazada (I've asked them) unless grossly abused. In the few times I've done it the item magically changed status to 'shipped' within my time limit with no further messages from the store. Clearly they stand to lose not only the income but also suffer shipping costs both ways. It is, in my opinion, the lever Lazada gives the buyer over shipping delays by the vendor. There are very few items so unique that many other shops (some owned by the same individual) carry the same item at competitive prices. Money talks and it's not always gentle. As always, YMMV.

You've got it on one. Best idea yet and easy to implement. I use a float level switch in several such applications including my koi pond fill solenoid. Mounting it onto the tank near the top is the only challenge. Of course the conduit wiring back to the solar tank should be robust. The final challenge is getting into the pump wiring to open the solar cell feed to the pump when the tank is full. But the control logic you name is the simplest solution, but not achieved in the few hours the OP has left to work it.

Suppression of abortion rights? The vast majority of Americans favor abortion rights.

Any official news coming out of China can only be trusted in a single respect : It furthers the CCP agenda ; no more, no less. Trusting anything related to the Chinese government is simply stupid.

Amen. I've slipped on too many bathroom tiles here. We bought three high quality bathroom mats for each bathroom. They are now several years old and still doing well. Even tiles with a textured surface are dangerous.

I would avoid such 'wonder' treatments like glop for insulation. Mostly they are scams. At worst they work poorly and add little value. Flying roof over tile WITH REAL insulation solves your problem for good. The corrogated metal is strong and 'standing ' seam make it virtually waterproof. If two roofs don't keepout the rain then the situation is indeed hopeless! My kitchen is easily 10F cooler than it was with the tile roof. And yes, you can easily walk on it.

It is sheet steel but powder coat painted for weather durability. Frankly I prefer painted steel. We live near the coast and salt air eats aluminum, turning it into white powder. Aluminum will be a lot more expensive as well. I think these are referred to as flying roofs because they cut a hole in the clay tiles and welded a steel frame above the tiles a few inches to support the steel roofing. I asked for a bit more headroom to insert the insulation. Good luck.

The kitchen attached to our house has a low slope roof. We battled leaks until I gave up on the clay tiles and had a steel roof added over them. I put fiberglass insulation between the two roofs. The inside ceiling had to be replaced from water damage so we put insulation between it and the underside of the clay tiles also. It faces south south and got very hot in season. Now it's cool and definitely waterproof. The clay tiles on the rest of the house don't leak, but are at a much greater slope. If I need work done on the roof from now on I'll never use clay tiles again. Soffit vents are a great idea but forget about that silly reflective paper nonsense. Soffit vents work best if the roof has a turbine or gable vent to allow full circulation from the soffits out the vent. The fiberglass insulation has reflective mylar on both sides, and I used two layers for a total of R52 value. The cost of such insulation (~200฿/roll) is trivial compared to installation labor. I'm very high on insulation. It never wears out, needs no batteries, and more than pays for itself in a year or two. Best investment you can make in Thailand.

How can one be educated by assumptions and speculation? There are no facts whatsoever concerning any kind of diety. The primary requirement of all religions is belief, that is, accepting something as truth without even the slightest shred of evidence. This is also called gullibility. It's all just wishful thinking. Humans excel at deceiving themselves and others; it's our super power.

I and wife both noticed separately that we have not gotten the usual mail receipt for paying our electric bill with Prachuap Kirikhan PEA for at least the last month. We pay by direct deposit, as we have done for more than a year. So maybe it's a new thing.

Moderators : please give this guy his own forum and deactivate all replies so he can produce 100% of the content instead of only 90%. That way it will be easier to skip over while browsing topics. I can only imagine that he must sit and mumble to himself all day and night. A Legend in his own mind.

I know it's time to call the yard guys to trim the hedges when I accumulate 5-6 Leo boxes full of empty bottles. They do the hedges and take the bottles away with a smile.

While this cactus has hallucinogenic properties, preparation of it is EXTREMELY laborious,takes large quantities, and the quality of the experience dirty and weak compared to mushrooms. That said, it grows everywhere in Thailand. I've seen 10 ft plants in unused lots in Cha Am for instance.. Buy spore syringes online and just grow mushrooms on rice media. I've done it several times with great results. Lots of info on the web about both.

Ghostery Dawn is the best for privacy but Brave is almost as good.

Exactly! Enough of this. When will the Moon Mission launch?

A core facet of the CCP plan for global domination, which they transparently admit to. It has been underway for decades and is very successful to date. To be fair though, this strategy has been a tenet of Islam for thousands of years. They simply infiltrate a country and start shucking out babies. It takes longer but is foolproof. They currently outnumber the Chinese in global population yet distributed more evenly across the world than the Chinese will be for years to come. Naturally the CCP understands this and takes strenuous measures to contain them in their own country.

It's just what the CCP does. Even if it's the same as what China does (in this case requiring Vax proof) they still act outraged. They always play both the 'victim' and the 'bully' cards, sometimes simultaneously. To the CCP everything is war and everywhere a battlefield. It's their core philosophy.
