Another Windows shortcut that I find useful is <Win-key>+<shift>+s to select what portion of a screen you want as a screenshot.

It has options at the top, like rectangular screenshot, free-form screenshot, etc.

I updated yesterday (Win 10 Pro on a Surface Pro 6) and all went well.  (So far...)

I've been getting ready to do my annual Windows reinstall, so I downloaded the .ISO for Win 10 v.1903.  I used it for the update, but I wanted the .ISO mainly for doing a total wipe-and-reinstall in the near future.  Gives me a chance to see if I want to reinstall v.1903 or the previous version.

And, don't be surprised if your stool is darker than normal.  Some people even report totally black, but I think that's more likely with longer term usage and/or higher dosage.

I used to have chronic ear infections (often with some itchiness) until an ENT at BNH Hospital advised me that the pH level in my ear canal was wrong and therefore the ability of my body to repel infection was compromised.  He proposed that I use a small syringe and rinse my ear canal with vinegar twice daily when I felt the onset of an infection, and that has served me well for many years now.  The vinegar raised (lowered?  I always get confused with pH...) the pH level in my ear canal back to normal so my body would fend off the infections naturally.  Prior to this doctor, I had seen three or four ENTs at another hospital who had me taking a changing assortment of pills to counter infections.  Afterward, squirts of vinegar took care of everything.  Worth a shot for the OP?

May I know (1) the name of ENT doctor at BNH Hospital (2) how to use small syringe and what size/type to buy (3) what type of vinegar and where to buy?
What do you mean "for the OP"?  

Thank you.

It was Dr. Pasakorn Thavornant at BNH.  A couple years ago I noticed his specialty was noted to be children's ENT, but now his specialty now is shown on their web site simply as an otolaryngologist, so I can again recommend him.  

I use a standard 10 ml syringe (without needle or "pin").  I bought a bag of them a while ago and can't recall the price, but I think it was something like THB5 per syringe.

I use just regular clear ("white") vinegar from Tesco.  You can buy clinical acetic acid from a pharmacy, but Dr. Pasakorn said just store-bought vinegar would be fine.

"OP" is internet-speak for "Original Post" or "Original Poster" in a message thread.  So, in this case "OP" = "you".

Okay, what is a "grime artist?"

On both my iPhone and Sony (Android) phones, the Grab App only shows Car, Delivery & Rewards in the Pattaya area.

I *thought* that in the past pressing the Car button brought up the option of GrabCar or GrabTaxi, but regardless, that definitely doesn't happen now.

There is a new option after pressing Car -- "Rent" to "get a car and driver for a duration of your choice.  You can make unlimited stops within this city in one booking."

I've assumed that the food courts with cards are 30 days and the ones with paper chits are same calendar day.   In the past when cards were more rare many food courts used the same-day paper chits.  Now most food courts I go to now use cards.  Main exception being the Magic Food Court at Suvarnabhumi on the ground level where they still use same-day paper chits.

Seniors would also get a 50 per cent fare discount on Airport Rail Link...

I wonder if that would apply to non-Thai seniors.  I get a discount on MRT but not on BTS.

If you're not inclined to follow the OP's advice to make a System Restore point after Windows Update, please at least check to make sure that System Restore is still turned on.  Seems like several of the past major updates turned WU totally off on my computer.  At least if it's on, Windows will continue to make periodic restore points in the background.  It can't if WU is turned off.

And also why give them a copy of your leccy bill & condo bill ? I have never done that before.

Jomtien requires something with your address on it, like a utility bill.  I assume the OP was just being overly cautious by throwing in the condo bill, too.

Thanks. I went to the process to set up a recipient & unsurprisingly my credit union was not listed but surprisingly Fidelity (my broker) wasn't listed either. Several other brokerages were listed. So I can't use DeeMoney. [emoji20]

All of my primary US banks were on their list. 

Where did you see a list of US banks?  I thought they could send to any bank on the ACH system, but not sure why I thought that.  I poked around the DeeMoney web site and can't find a list of US banks.

Well, *maybe* it's worse that finding a black widow spider and a scorpion when I lived in Las Vegas...

Regarding putting your shoes in a sealed plastic bin when you take them off -- do the shoes have a chance to dry out and not become stinky?

Grab are just the same at the taxi hustlers but marginally cheaper. There software ain't up to snuff and they are much dearer than Uber. Better than nothing but a bit hit and miss.

Agreed.  The biggest pluses for Grab at this time are that (a) you can easily summons them to wherever you happen to be and (b) not have to negotiate a price.

Lest there be any doubt, it's also B130 now from Suvarnabhumi to Jomtien.

Well, for starters, I had a watch face with a weather widget.  Doesn't update unless paired with mobile phone.  How useful is that?

 

Or how about when flying home:  New York to Seoul to Bangkok.  Wanted my watch to auto-synch to local times.  Nope.  Not without first synching my mobile phone and then pairing it with the watch.

And how about getting your watch to join a new WiFi network?

1. Get out your phone and pair it with your watch

2. Go to your watch to select and join a new WiFi network

3. Go back to your phone to enter the password

I think smart watches have great potential, but there not there yet in any practical sense that I can see.

I need to find those YouTube videos and see what I'm actually missing.  

Yeah, I miss Uber.  Not just because it was competition to keep rates down a bit, but I thought they were a better run operation.

What qualifies as "most functions"? What is it that you're having issues with? Your watch has a gazillion applications which operate independent of your phone, and has WiFi. That said, the lack of 4G means you do need WiFi or a linked Android phone via BT, for internet connectivity, which limits mobility a bit.

Yes, within the last month the taxi business at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya charged me 250 baht to go from the hospital to Jomtien Soi 5 Immigration. That's cheaper than Grab for the same journey.

You know, it never occurred to me to ask the rate for a taxi there at the BHP entrance.  Next time I will.  Thanks!
