Depending on pool size and elevation, a siphon left running may do the trick.

Yes, AI is being used by news media to translate 'stories' from any source, especially social media, into English for publication. There is no fact-checking. Eg: the recent '5m long Cobra' story, repeated across many news sites.

Central to everything including transport - Hotel Eleven on Sukhumvit 11 Or ... Clover Hotel on Suk 16 - actually opposite Asoke/Terminal21. Quiet, impeccable service and fabulous breakfast!

Output from my 10kw Deye was only showing Production/Consumption until I started feeding back to grid (shhhh) and I got a surprise at midday to see 7.37kw being produced out of 12 (x 550w) Longi PV's = 608w per panel The panels were 100% aimed at the midday sun and it was a totally clear sky.

These anodised woks are almost non-stick if used correctly, moreso than polished SS ones. One can use a 3M green scourer on them. I also use a Circulon non-stick wok with lid which has not deteriorated at all in over 7 years.

Purchased in Australia (ex Gov't) - 120GB/8GB ram - not suitable for gaming. Available with 500gb/6gb HDD on Lazada for Bt 2,600

I replaced an 8 year old HP laptop with a Lenovo NUC and love it. I already had a 24" monitor and wireless keyboard and so only needed to buy a camera and speakers. Best part is the NUC fits in a small recess below the desk top. And oh boy, it is so fast to boot up!

Disagree all you like except you are not using logic. Yes, pine can be treated, usually ex sawmill (NZ), but the DoHome 3 metre lengths, in fact none of their stock, is sold as treated. Having used treated pine framing in Australia I have 1st hand knowledge of termite treatments AND how the little critters may enjoy a meal of previously treated pinewood studs after an elapsed period of exposure to moisture.

Always been available for anything except house framing, eg: condo/office partitioning, and mainly in BKK. A lot of sawn lengths are used in furniture and cabinet making. Anyone using for house construction framing would have rocks in their head and termites for friends.

NZ pine wood products have been sold here for many years: t&g sarking, doors, mouldings and ply. T & G Sarking was used extensively at the Choui Fong Tea Plantation restaurant and tourist area in Chiang Rai - opened in 2015.

Ok, a different company then. I also have the 550w Longi panels but Earthed independently of both house and Inverter AC side to avoid tripping by small appliances: HW heater, iron, kettle etc. 2 x Earthing rods were driven into the ground specifically.

As @KhunLA has done, we purchased a Deye inverter. The SUN-10kSG04LP3-EU model is a 3-phase 10kw hybrid inverter although I chose not to install ESS/battery storage immediately as I foresee major advances in this technology, hopefully within 12 months. We are spending approx 1,000bt per month PEA, a saving of ~3,500bt. Expected payback = 5.5 years. [Battery cost would extend payback period to ~7 years] Our home comprises a pool, spa, irrigation pump and split system a/c's, 2 fridges and the usual appliances. 3-phase allows heavy equipment such as pumps to run concurrently without compromise. A future well/pump/treatment system can also be accommodated. I have a large UPS for security system, E-lighting, computer/router etc. Have also run one fridge off it also during an extended night outage. Longi 550w tier one panels cost 5,750 ea., highly recommended. Deye inverters can handle unbalanced (3) phase loads which was a concern with Huawei, also an early contender. The other limitation with Huawei being bound to using their battery/charging system compared with Deye having all built-in and ready for plug'n play battery of any make or type.

As an aside, did you deal with Lanna Solar owner, the guy I refer to as the 'mad professor'. I forget his name, Uwe __ IIRC. Are your PVCells fully imported or ones he makes locally, and are they Earthed independently of your house circuits? Dampness entering the PV to Inverter circuit may be enough to trip the breaker. Crossy is the expert and may elaborate or correct my 2 satangs worth.

Likely washing out from shipwrecks in the Indian Ocean/Andaman sea over last few years. Severe weather and Andaman currents deliver it to Phuket beaches.

As a fan of Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, Scott Blade and Stephen Leather, I came across Robert G White and have just finished "Arctic Sunrise" - an extraordinarily believable thriller about the life of a Russian Bratva thug. Several twists and turns made it an un-put-downable read.

"Chickenhawk" by Robert Mason, described as 'the best book to come out of Vietnam' piqued my interest for 2 reasons. One, I like Vietnam and will return for another visit in November. And secondly, I'm an aviation enthusiast. Whilst usually interested ONLY in historical novels such as those by Robert Harris, Chickenhawk was fascinating as a real look behind the scenes yet with humour, mild sex, and loads of blood and guts. By Chapter 3, I felt I had learnt the basics of flying a Huey and enjoyed the whole story immensely.

Efficiency depends on the roof pitch, or angle of panels toward the sun. Since most panels achieve a modest 50% even on cloudy days your west facing panels should perform reasonably well. Having said that, I am assuming a standard roof pitch of 30 degrees, less would be better.

The source article is not clear but one may imagine a drier cool season much like the last. As to how the RID can guarantee water supply in rural areas is beyond me when most rely on rivers, local dams or artesian supply. The Mekong and tributaries like the Mun river could easily run dry unless substantial rain falls late in the wet season and China releases the excess.

One F in mafia or Bratva, as they're known. Don't worry, BigJoke will root them out.

Correct. Something is not right at surface level although the lower deck appears sound. Perhaps the expansion joints were installed with a low Mpa concrete topping, or in other words: the surface topping was too wet and has shrunk back since installation, as it dries out. I've seen similar contraction in concrete driveways after 2+ years.

The only safe solution I had an important document mailed from AKL Central to Adelaide POBox. It took 3 months to be delivered. Homing pigeons are faster than Australia Post. ThaiPost by comparison is incredibly fast, cheap and efficient (except on Koh Chang).

IMO there are far too many similar emoticons, 3 x that could be removed leaving just 'thumbsup'. Removal of the 'sad' face could eliminate the need for anonymity via "Somebody".

By the truckload. Easy enough to spot on certain news sites where key words and/or phrases are repetitive plus spelling and grammar usually perfect even if the story doesn't make sense.

Social media spawns fake news - usually one personal observation reported on FB, Twatter or similar and increasingly picked up by rags posing as news media sites.
