23 hours ago, RSD1 said:Just wait until the DNC is over. The gap between Harris and Trump in the polls, in favor of Harris, will move so far ahead that Trump won't even know what hit him. You are going to see weak poll numbers for Trump, the likes of which the world has never seen before.
Truth is, Trump is a very easy and soft target to beat. Always has been. The only reason Biden was even struggling against him recently was because Biden was suddenly too old. Otherwise, Biden would have beat him again. Really it only takes someone to be 20 years younger than Trump to beat him just on the basis of age alone. Now Trump is suddenly the bumbling, tottering old man in the room and there is no way he can paint himself out of that corner.
Meanwhile, both Lindsay Graham and Niki Haley just publicly came out in the media in the last few days sounding the alarms and loudly and strongly criticizing Trump for his impotent messaging. Haley appeared extremely frustrated with Trump's feeble attacks on Harris and Graham has urged Trump to talk about policy and stop hurling childish insults at Harris or that Trump will lose the election.
What GOP members fail to recognize is that Trump isn't capable of talking about anything in an intelligent and meaningful way. Imagine Trump really trying to talk about policy? It would be a joke of the highest order and an even greater embarrassing disaster for his campaign.
Water seeks its own level and Trump is already doing everything he's capable of. There is no other side to Trump where he suddenly stops acting like a frustrated grade schooler and miraculously sounds intelligent and on point. That train has long left the station and over the coming weeks and months Trump will continue to bury himself in an avalanche of his own gaffs and political cockups.
Just in the last two weeks alone, Trump has successfully insulted and lost a large number of black voters, women voters, veterans, young voters, and we can only imagine who Trump is going to insult and disenfranchise next.
Best thing Harris can do is to continue to avoid media interviews and limit Trump to the one upcoming debate in early September. There is nothing she needs to prove now because she's already the favored candidate who is widely winning on the basis of potency alone. She can just continue to do rallies, focusing on the key swing states, whilst siting back and letting Trump continue to bury himself in the growing pool of his own destructive and teetering missteps.
As a reasonably normal person, and having some American relatives, I simply can not fathom how a seemingly uneducated, moronic, brain dead adult, (trump) can possibly be considered as a possible president, of what is amongst one of the more powerful, western countries of the world.
If there existed a banana republic, (worse than any other on out planet,) then YES, I would understand the ravings of some lunatic, idiotic, rambling moron trying to be leader in that case.
But the USA??
The country has become, over recent times, a kind of laughing stock for the rest of the educated, normal, western world.
IMHO, (trump) should be put (back) into a cosy straight jacket, and gently taken back to a comfortable room in an appropriate (mental treatment issues) hospital, where he can live out his days quietly.

There is a lot of info on the manual, but I can't find a max charge rate, but these are mentioned,
Battery, 100 Ah - 250 Ah.
Charge current, 15 +/- 2amp.
Fast charge current, 20 +/- 2amp.
Rated voltage (back up mode)230 VAC +/- 10%
Rated frequency (back up mode) 5oHz +/- 0.1 Hz.
Output, 90 - 290 +/- 10 VAC.
Frequency 41 - 65 Hz.
UPS/WUPS Mode selection, 180 - 265 +/- 10 Vac, or 90 - 295 +/- 10 VAC.
(Yes, you can see I'm a bit lacking when it comes to this electronic stuff.)
I will try your suggestion of leaving it to charge for 24 hours and see if that makes a difference,
Thank you again..

Hello Crossy, and thank you for your quick reply.
I have been advised to get 2 bigger batteries, such as you mentioned, commercial boat batteries. I don't think Lithium batteries are available here, and importing things may not be allowed by the military here who are in charge of pretty much everything, It would probably take a lot of paper work, and a lot of tax/fees just to get permission for something like this.
The cuts are 1pm - 5pm then 9am - 1pm next day in cycles, but sometimes 5pm - 9pm, but not every day, so on other days, the charging time is 16 hours, but of course less when the extra cut off time happens. The pix below is my inverter, except that mine is half size vertically, the LED panel is the same, and the buttons below are the same.
Thank you for your suggestions I'll get the local engineer bloke to look at what you mentioned, he has a multi-meter,
--Any idea how much current is being dragged from the pack when discharging? What is the charge rate that your inverter can provide?-- Not sure myself, I'll try to find out.
Thank you again for your input,

Hello, I live in Myanmar and there are 2 x 4 hour electricity cuts every day. I live in an apartment, I don't have any vehicle, but I'm curious about your battery powered inverter. I'm not very good with electronics, and had a local engineer with me when I bought a Durasol Pure Sine Wave UPS series CD model 1500 VADSWL - 1700/24 volt inverter, along with 4 semi-truck trailer Varta Blue Powermotive N120 (150F50) 12V 120AH 800A batteries. I was told they would not run the AC, but I have a small refrigerator & a small chest freezer, sometimes use TV & wifi, and fan, and at night, 1 or 2 lights When I first got this set up, in Jan. last year it worked well, covering each 4 hour electricity cut, but over the last 4/5 months the useful time using the inverter has shortened, and it's now down to about an hour & a half.
All up the batteries & inverter cost me 2.4 million Kyats, about 750$US..
The reason I'm sending this message to you, is that you seem to have way more knowledge than I with this sort of thing, so I'm wondering if any of what I have makes sense to you. It is not easy to find knowledgeable people here and I'm sure there are, but they may not speak English, and I certainly can't speak Burmese very well.
Anyway, any thoughts you may have would be very gratefully accepted and whether you can shed light on my problem or not, I please accept my thanks for taking the time to read my email.
Ajarn Pete,
Yangon,

The ass spray gun is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread, or snow freeze ice creams. Way way cleaner than pushing dunny paper around your ass and spreading the sh*t about. ✅

Very sad news about an amazing lady doing a very difficult job, I hope Labour can find someone who can work as hard and honestly as she did, to fill those shoes. I wish her all the best for her future plans.

Hello Tim, is this reply direct to you? If so, I'd like to ask if it's possible to see a repeat of the weekend offering you had a short time ago about eye surgery as I was unable to watch at the time, and would very much like to see if still available. I'm in Myanmar and want to get info on possible eye surgery before I actually travel there. Many thanks for any info/help you can give, or link to you podcast, etc..
Pete.

I have a number of CV visa exempt extensions on my N.Z. passport, & I was issued another 2 month CV extension on Jan. 24th, ending on Mar. 25, 2022. I was told that was the last CV extension. However, some local people told me that there was another extension for Laos people who were in Thailand, so today I went back to the Immi. Office, and asked if this applied to foreigners as well. I was told there is indeed another extension for foreigners, and I have to return to the office on 24th Feb., and I will get another 2 month extension, which will last until May, 2022. As the staff in the office can not speak English very well, that's all the info I could get. This is the Chiang Khan office, in Loei Province.

I bought a Honda XL 600 Dakar in Samui when I first arrived in Thailand to live, 2003. When I got a job & started to living in Prachin Buri, I asked for a plate with 1 on it, I waited about a month & was then told to come to the Rego office & collect it. I think it cost around 400/500 Baht. I never put it on the bike as I wanted to keep it as part of my number/license plate collection I made over time being here. I had a plastic one made up & fitted it. After about 5/6 years I sold the bike with the plastic plate still attached. Shown top left side of the image, with other random Loei plates I collected over time.

I'm sure not a fan of food stuffed with chilli, but Chicken Phad Thai, & Massaman Curry are my 2 favorite dishes, & I ate them long before I came here. Beef Massaman, for me is amazing. Just a little bit of chilli I can handle.

The three groups who should be vaccinated against Covid-19 immediately are the over 60s, people with seven underlying health conditions and pregnant women.
The letter dated 20th July is from MoPH official Kiatphoom Wongjarit.
At the end of the letter is says that this order applies to foreigners too, reported PPTV36.
I copied from the title page, showing 20th July, not 20th January, or did I miss something ??

Hey there Simon, yep, Pete from ALBA, good that I put the reply to you in the right place. And good to hear you are enjoying life in Laos,.
I'm hoping to get back to Yangon, but could be a while due to all the <deleted> going on there, Joel is principle at ALBA, don't think he was when you were there. After CV19 hit, the school started online teaching, which I'm not so good at, the internet had improved a lot before I left, good enough to watch streaming videos and TV programs.
I've been selling old Burmese license plates on ebay since I've been trapped in Siam, and about to do some teaching at a small private school here where I'm staying, the govt. postponed the regular May re-opening here due to CV19, so about Jun/ 14th, if they don't postpone again.
Wheels within wheels, within wheels !!!

Hi Simon43,
I hardly ever reply here, so I hope this is the correct section to reply to you. I'm Pete from Yangon, but in Siam now. Last March I came here for my usual 3/4 week holiday, but got stuck here as the country shut down the airlines a few days before I was due to depart, & I've been trying to get back ever since.
Very very tragic and sad situation going on with so many defenseless protesters killed, and some friends I know there have had to go into hiding, just to try to stay safe.
How's life for you in Laos? A very nice & friendly place to be.

Yamaha WR 225 good condition, I’ve owned this bike since 2004 & used weekly, but since 2011 have lived overseas and used only on vacation here in Thailand. Just spent 3500 Baht to upgrade front brakes, petrol tank on/off/reserve switch, & fitted new clutch cable. It also has a new seat cover. Reluctant to sell but I only get to use it once a year now. Awesome bike for riding in the bush. 26,000 Baht, NO license plate, or book, hence LOW price. If you are interested, call, or message me, if I don’t answer the phone, and I’ll call you back. Rear tyre is about half worn.

I Love Donald Trump

Sadly, there are some people in this world, who, unfortunately have severe mental problems, and can even become dangerous if they ever, in life, find themselves in any sort of position of power. trump is one of them, and his best way to handle this person, would be in a place where he can receive proper mental health treatment. Perhaps a secure room, in a hospital that specializes in this area of mental health would be ideal for him. A doctor, with the help of some well trained nurses, could, pick him up from his residence, put him gently into a straight jacket, give him a warm drink, and take him, by ambulance to said hospital. He will probably need life time treatment, so best to leave him there in capable hands. Oh, and give him some kiddy toys to play with, something to keep his mind occupied.
