  1. No you don't.
  2. Interesting series for those, Erm! interested:- Handmade: Britain's Best Woodworker Mel Giedroyc hosts as talented, good-with-wood craftspeople compete to be crowned Britain's best woodworker by award-winning architect Alex de Rijke and queen of furniture making Helen Welch. Woodworkers will be tasked with crafting beautiful and ambitious builds to exacting briefs, ramping up to a "big build." Series 3 episode 1 dropped on TVChaos. Full series 1 & 2 available on TVChaos and TGx Enjoy.
  3. Oh Dear! Is that the total sum of all human knowledge that you would want to pass on to other life forms . Is this what space exploration is all about? So Sad
  4. Not only is our Earth small in the vastness of the whole Universe, the area we can inhabit on the Earth makes our very existence very vulnerable. We can only exist in the narrow band of atmosphere that surrounds the Earth. We cannot exist under water or higher than a few thousand feet in the air. And what are we doing with this tiny, tiny fraction of livable space? Fighting and destroying our very existence. I sincerely hope the human race becomes extinct before we have the technology and the means to poison other worlds with our "lifeform"
  5. This narrow-angle color image of the Earth, dubbed 'Pale Blue Dot'. Taken by Voyager 1 distance of more than 4 billion miles from Earth. From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest. But for us, it's different. Consider again that dot. That's here, that's home, that's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there on the mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. Carl Sagan
  6. Slightly even more off topic:-
  7. Sorry slight HiJack Computer Pencils What do they do
  8. Great little free program so you don't forget any more important dates:- Simple Sticky Notes
  9. A fascinating watch, especially if you remember the aftermath of Sadam Hussains invasion if Kuwait and the wanton destruction left behind as his troops scuttled back home. Lessons of Darkness IMDB Rate 8.0 Lessons of darkness is one of the most captivating, hypnotic experiences I have ever witnessed. I felt like I was in a strange nightmare and in an alien world. The film is almost purely visual; it is breathtakingly shot. It feels more like science fiction than most sci-fi films ever made. Absolutely haunting. This film surveys the disaster of the Kuwaiti oil fields in flames, with little narration and scarcely any interviews. Hell on Earth is presented in such transcendent visions and music that one can only be fascinated by it. Available with subs from 1337X and TGx and probably lots of other places.
  10. Subs available from Addic7.com https://www.addic7ed.com/show/8726
  11. What I meant was that Amorn did not seem to have area for repairs in the shop. Last time I was there I wasn't looking to repair anything so may have missed it.
  12. In my neck of rural land there aren't many if any repair guys for this kind of small stuff. The nearest Amorn shop is Saraburi but it's only a small place and doesn't seem any sort of workshop area. They might have something out the back, or perhaps can send it away. Next time I'm in town will ask them. Seems odd that, considering how complicated battery replacement is on this thing, that they don't sell spare battery packs. Well anyway I can't find any
  13. I only need it for this one job. I realise ฿1,000 isn't so much but for that I could buy a new pump and save all the bother of fixing this one.
  14. Looks simple enough. I'm thinking of replacing the batteries in my Xiaomi air pump and getting the connections is a bit more complicated than what Bruce did. Guess the principle is the same so should work.
  15. For connecting banks of Lithium type batteries that usually need to be spot welded. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/iremax-hwy-800-i2555155538.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.47.6aa1baeehATMAv Anybody tried this? Does it work?
  16. I invented nothing. Just passing on something I read about some time ago that seems like it could work.
  17. Another idea which I posted on here some months ago was to run a mail order business, without actually handling any goods yourself. Set up a store/shop on E-Bay or Facebook or some other international platform and advertise stuff for sale. Does not matter what kind of stuff but preferably something a little different from the usual things available. Any orders you fill by ordering the said items from, say Lazada and having them shipped to your customers address, you don't actually handle any goods yourself. Obviously needs some setting up with pay accounts and things but apparently some people are making a good living from this.
  18. Now I think I really have seen it all, hats for chickens :- Available from Lazada. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/-i4772227439.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.52.12905845AodyV0
  19. Breed Pedigree puppies, cats, rabbits, Get the whole family involved. Start with one female, have her mated sell the puppies and you are on your way. Just a thought.
  20. Is it this one ? About Time IMDB rating 7.8 Downloaded today will watch it in the coming days
  21. Update of the marble in the hubcap trick Who remembers hubcaps ?
  22. I did that some years ago with SCB. I did it from the new branch. There was a transfer charge as well as percentage charge of the amount transferred which pissed me off a little as they had not mentioned the percentage charge when I asked about the cost of transfer. You'll also have to buy a new ATM card.
  23. I'm no expert on eclectic vehicles but would guess they need less servicing than a diesel motor The biggest wear on a truck like that would probably be the Tyres. Now if they put on steel wheels to run on a track it would save tire wear and would not even need a driver, think I might be onto something here
