I have been around a bit before I met the right lady, but in fact the 'professional' ones, meaning I paid them, were not really any good at all. You have been exceptionally lucky. 

I like the "putt" line! Have to remember that one. 

I'll admit a few were not particularly memorable. However, there were some I still remember very fondly.

Perhaps I was lucky because I treated them with consideration, and not as a piece of meat. Several indicated they wanted to take the relationship to a different level, but I was not ready at the time. Too busy enjoying my liberty.

Well speaking for myslef, I just got out of the pool and will be heading over to my fav smoke bar later, with a mask and sanitizer.

 

Speaking further for myslef, please dont even mention golf except to tell us all how you choked on a 2 inch putt.

Can we get a photo of you in the smoke bar dragging on a spliff with your mask on, please?

I don't know, take a look if you like... We got a month or so with not much else to do.. Let us know what you find ????????

I said I'm not sadistic. I'm not masochistic either.

Maybe if you're manufacturing a few of the same items. But for large scale industrial manufacture, 3D printing is far from being competitive in terms of speed.

You may be right. However, what happens if there are plenty of 3D's available?

I had a lesson in this when I visited Japan some years ago. Working in a Western laboratory, one standard item is a gas chromatograph. Maybe one has about 6 - 10 different tasks for it. That means one is changing columns, detectors, gas type and flow, and temperature programs for each task allocated. A complete PITA.

The Japanese went about the problem differently. They had 5 or 6 gas chromatographs lined up, each dedicated to one task. They never had to faff around setting a test up, just operated the instruments until they broke down. Which happened extremely rarely, because gas chromatographs have no moving parts apart from the push buttons on the front.

It may have been a lot more expensive in terms of capital cost, but I'll bet the system paid for itself when it came down to reliability and labor cost.

That might be my underlying tone but don't try to twist my words into something that suits your agenda better... You don't know my stance on this whole virus situation and have no idea what measures I have or have not taken.. Unless you stalk back through my posting history which might then surprise you ????

I am not so sadistic I would ever invite someone to do that. You are saying there will not be a single inconsistency in everything you have posted?

Where can you play golf?

There's a military course in Chiang Rai, so far it has stayed open. Perhaps the Governor plays there. I rarely see anybody, hit off at 6.30 am.

The plastic molded bits will take 8 to 12 weeks for off tool samples (after months of design and engineering), another 4 to 6 weeks till production.

 

And Made in China !!

Keep up please. Far faster with 3D printing.

if the virus cannot travel through water then explain how sars was spread through fecal plume when flushing a toilet. True , toilet water isi not chlorinated. Remember the virus is spread through the expelling of particulates from an infected person, why masks are good for an infected person but useless for non infected people unless one uses as special virus mask. the problem is likely to be outside the pool as people have said, However unless you are vunerable, a smoker, have heart condition, shortness of breath etc Covid 19 is not that deadly. (ranging form 0.1% in parts of China to 10% in Italy) mortality rates are highest only for those with poor immunity and the really old(hence Italy) . If one follows sensible hygiene rules and keeps social distance then there wold be no problem. As for pools as Doctors state it is not likely to be a problem , however there would be no point in chlorinating the water if you then share a towel after to dry yourselves.

When you flush a toilet, the water splashing in the bowl has been shown to project very fine water droplets up to 2 metres outside the bowl, which is why I have developed the habit of closing the toilet lid before I flush # 2. I read that somewhere, possibly you can find it on Google.

@Tropposurfer excellent advice.

 

As noted in my OP, we are indeed isolating as a small herd, only I leave our 1.5 Rai compound (I still have to work, essential staff) and I practice social distancing as required by the office anyway (masks, 2m spacing, sanitser everywhere). As the only driver I'm also lumbered with doing the shopping although Madam supervises via Line!

 

Whilst only our herd use the pool I was merely wondering if upping the chlorine (crank up the chlorinator) had any value.

 

With a pool, fast internet and food the kids are happy as pigs in ...

 

Chlorine levels are set at 1-3 mg/L free available chlorine for a reason. If you crank up the chlorine to ( say ) 10 mg/L, you are going to have eye, ear, nose and throat irritation occurring.

Unless your kids have the habit of p^^^ing in the pool, there is no need to do it.

one of the reasons I moved to HH 6 years ago, not having a huge sex industry keeps a lot of trash from showing up here.. 

Is that why Nyezhov and BMT have never come to visit?

Good luck finding some.

In our area all wiped off the shelves.

You might have read the threads about the "egg crisis".

I'm somewhat mystified in Chiang Rai, because the shelves are almost bare of eggs in Big C, yet across the highway in Tops the shelves are full.

That's a great movie. When Japs do porn they take you down a twisted rabbit hole of depravity and ingenuity in equal measures.

One thing has always puzzled me, how the Japanese women are always whimpering and/or crying. I'm puzzled because I doubt it is due to the size of the male organ involved.

Pleased I moved to Chiang Rai then, considerably more civilized and not a COVID-19 petri dish

IMO any mask will do if it's a matter of protecting the people around you from your coughing and sneezing. The high-tech masks are so you can breathe the s###ty air here.

Face mask discipline seems to be quite good among the Thais, I'd say 95% of the people in Chiang Rai are wearing them. Not so much in my GF's village, but they probably can't afford them, or can't get them.

The non-wearers seem to be mainly young Thai males.

Did the OP find out whether this is part of a bigger program?

If there is one thing America does well, it is mass production. They invented it. Logistics is another one of their strengths.

Irrespective of whether Trump is wrong or right ( IMO he was very slow to react ) once the USA gets its act together there will probably be excess ventilators for export.

Now here's an idea - why not invoke the same Act, and have armaments manufacturers join the party? A bit like beating the swords into ploughshares.

Sorry, I'm spending a lot of my time in my condo sleeping. Posts on ThaiVisa sometimes have that effect.

Close but not quite true up until today, when things really change. I can assure you noone has delivered food  to me at tax payers expense.

You're right, I was anticipating by virtue of what's in the media.

Are you expecting booze from today? You may be disappointed.

My son supports my former wife in Oz, she has Ahlzheimers and gets daily visits from a district nurse to ensure she takes her medications - 10 of them. I don't know what is going to happen with people like that in the current situation.

As I have said before on this thread, chlorine works because the nascent oxygen it releases oxidizes any organic material it encounters.

Chlorine has disinfected water systems containing bacteria for many decades. Public swimming pools would be a huge health risk if it were otherwise.

The average bacterium is about 1000 - 2000 nanometers in size. Even giant viruses are less than that. COVID-19 is 120 nanometers in size.

Stop worrying.
