In the US it's just too much cheap money out on long term loans. If a bank has a lot of thirty-year, fixed-rate mortgages out at <3%, and the bank has to pay >4% to get cash into the bank, it's tough times ahead for the bank. I doubt very much Thai banks are as over extended.

Different worlds...

I remember getting my mouth washed out with soap when I said the "n-word".

Yeah, no one seemed to give much of a rat's in 2014 when Putin invaded Donbas and Crimea, certainly no one in the USA. I guess we were too busy dismantling missile defense...

If you're doing it yourself, fine, but hiring a tile guy and making them use products they are unfamiliar with makes little sense. Crocodile products are cheap, easy to use, and all the Thai workmen know how to use it.

You were likely sleeping...

Yeah, me with only forty years of fabricating experience, the last twenty of it in Thailand. Look at the website again. the spec was for hot-roll. Benchtops from hot-roll I built in Thailand, for the plant in Thailand still holding up fine after over twenty years.

Sure it was not ttb?

I don't know of a redi-mix here but the Crocodile powder is cheap, easy to use and seems to hold up fine.

How many people remember the first time you met someone with the same given name?

I remember the first time my dad took me fishing and soon after starting kindergarten when I was four. Also remember my dad coming home with a new Chevy when I was four or five and our first color TV when I was six or seven. I think my earliest memory would be riding in the box behind the seat of a VW Beetle with the kid across the street (his mom's car). Not sure how old I was, but if you've seen those boxes, we'd have had to have been small to both get in there.

Your number was for the English-speaking counter. I think the ticket-dispensers in the banks I've used all had an English button. Are you American?

I doubt very much the data are stored on the PC.

Solar goes off every night, and sometimes for a week at a time. Wind can be very unpredictable, and it is never really constant. When wind and solar are used, you have to have enough generating capacity take their place, which means you have to have 100% of your capacity fossil-fuel or nuclear, to back them up. Betting that some point in the future New York city is going to run on batteries fora week might not be that smart.

By no distribution cost you mean the power generated is used at the location of the installation, correct? Installing panels on one's roof can make a lot of sense depending on the payback period. Guys that do it themselves here often get payback in as little as as three years or even less. We hear a lot about how the cost will keep coming down, but people making the claim like to use computer chips and whatnot as a comparison. Chips are not a good comparison, as chip costs are primary process-intense, while panel (and battery) costs are primarily material-intense, so unless we have reason to believe the cost of materials will come down significantly, I don't think we will continue to see significantly lower cost with panels. With batteries perhaps. Also compare the logistical cost of panels and batteries with chips. You can airfreight a million dollars' worth of chips in a medium sized box.

Both. The booth was weak and while I'm not a bike guy, I thought the product offering looked meh. I used to look at most any Ducati and while they (except maybe the Scrambler) were not my style, I thought they looked great. They even ruined the Scrambler...

Nice! That was quick, I hope you love it.

If you work through a private agency, are you then exempt from paying in? My statement was poorly worded. What I should have said was people working permanently should have Thai medical. Is this not the case? Even the students have some kind of medical at Mahidol.

You recall incorrectly about the thickness but yes, steel is heavy. SPCC Hot rolled coil_Shandong Bailiyuan Metal Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (blymetal.com) Is anything stable indefinitely? It has not been my experience that comes off easily. Indoors, on a wall, occasional wiped with Sonax or whatnot it would be fine, if one wanted the industrial look. That's what I would call no-spangle and it also stains. Low spangle looks something like silver hammer-tone paint, and it does not stain as easily. High-spangle looks like what people usually think of when they hear galvanized. I think this would be ideal as it wont chip, rust or stain. You can write on it with a marker and it cleans right off with acetone. The bummer about paint is not only that it chips and wears off, but that markers and whatnot will stain it. The only thing you have to be careful of with galvanized is white rust, but this would be visible by the time the OP got it.

Hot-rolled steel typical has a grey/black coating of mill-scale which is reasonably rust resistant. Cold-rolled steel is silver, and uncoated, generally rusts quickly and easily. Hot-roll is cheaper and more readily available. Hanging on a wall indoors I it will not rust quickly. You may want to wipe it down with a little Sonax or whatnot now and then. If you're after an industrial kind of look it would be perfect. Hot-dipped galvanized steel might be your best choice, it will not rust, and you can get it in high, low or no-spangle, and would give you a more high-tech look. I love the high-spangle look and did my office ceiling in it using all drop. Stainless is too shiny in the thinner sheet for a wall, bedroom ceiling maybe... The sell the white-boards that will hold a magnet as well...

Triumph had some nice bikes at the show, but I thought Ducati looked pretty sad. Never had a really big bike, biggest I ever had was a CB750 back in the '80s. Have only ever ridden the company Wave in Thailand, and then only around the plant.
