  1. If sometimes higher than 60-degree C, then maybe we are back to the good old days.... Those were the days... When clothes were really clean. === If in a hospital setting, then maybe... In the future, I will wash at over 50-degrees C. Makes sense....
  2. Maybe this depends upon the type of detergent used? I really have no idea... But then, there is this.... So, as you say... Washing at 40-degrees C or higher is better for stain removal. I will remember that, and I will need to add hot water to the wash cycle... Or, I will need to wash my clothes during the Hot Season, at 3:00 PM. https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/washing-machines/article/washing-machine-temperature-guide-aLiyf2p96y4d#benefits-of-washing-at-30c https://cwservicesinc.com/cold-water-does-it-clean-your-clothes/ So in conclusion, just choose the correct detergent for the water temperature you are using.... And wash happily. Certainly, Thailand's climate will provide water at a good temperature for effectively washing clothes.
  3. If you mean, by a reputable quote, The Washington Post, this article you linked is behind a paywall. Therefore, the link that you provided is not accessible to many. Just post the facts, or a link to the facts. If you think that you need to have a teaching moment to instruct others concerning propaganda, persuasion, belief, and the media, then please feel free, but it's not necessary. Nobody here screwed up, and no one here was attempting to distract from the facts. Also, nobody here has much of an interest in who wins in 2024. The only problem is that people like Harris and Walz, through their obviously self-serving ways, have made the world worse for everybody. You can be sure that, if not Walz or Harris, at least someone of their ilk will get elected. And, we will be back to square one, in Janaury 2025. Trump or Harris? Both are fine with me. They will make zero difference in the grand scheme of things. They will be gone after a brief moment, and will be forgotten, soon enough. Fortunately, I do not live in the USA. The ONLY time I see any news about these two clowns is here on this sub-forum. You have a house in the USA.... You are the one that must live with them... Not I... Enjoy...!
  4. Just post the evidence, please. Post his record. And, show his place of birth, too. Maybe he was born in Canada, for example. I do not trust the guy. He seems a phony. His main appeal is to the farmers in the mid-west and to the so-called "salt of the earth". I like people who are intelligent. I like city people, too. Especially people from Boston.
  5. I do not do massages at home, either. I do not like people pulling on my bones.
  6. Americans LOVE a military man at the helm. He was a master sergeant? https://www.newsweek.com/national-guard-disputes-tim-walzs-military-biography-1936038
  7. He's probably here,... Somewhere It would have been easy to just exit the airport doors, and continue walking in almost any direction. Norway is very sparsely populated, and this time of year the climate is good for camping. If I were he, I would just take the supplies I could carry in a backpack, and leave the world, with its troubles, behind. We all know that young people, today, and around the world, especially in China, are choosing to Lie Flat, and the Lying Flat Movement is all about no marriage, no job, no house, and no children to care for. I believe that this is a possibility. Sometimes, the stress of society becomes too much for any thinking individual to bear. (Speaking of Bears, I happen to know that part of the woods has bears, very close to Helsinki: )
  8. a. Linux, and the use of Linux, especially for the desktop, is logical, and a rational choice. b. In Thailand, for most Farang, choosing a ladyboy for a change of pace seems illogical, and an irrational choice. c. I would not compare the two experiences, in fact. Linux is a much better user experience compared to Windows OS. The Thai Ladyboy often provides a less than optimal user experience, but just judging from the plethora of data gleaned from the Thaivisa forum. There is really no comparing Linux to a Ladyboy, nor bananas to peaches.
  9. I was behind McGovern...all the way !!! (Harris has been too much of a shock to my system...maybe...)
  10. HAHAHAHA.... The guy is NO BRAINIAC.....which is itself an UNDERSTATEMENT....!!! He was accepted into his first college which is OPEN ADMISSION, and therefore anyone is admitted with no more than proof of high-school graduation. He has some sort of trash-degree in the Social Sciences, which actually means not much science, in terms of anything resembling Physics, Biochem...the Natural Sciences. In a debate, Vance will wipe the floor with this tub of lard. Just my prediction. Al Gore was smarter than this guy, for sure! Al Gore Education: Al Gore and Clinton knew a lot more about computer cables than does the SALAD WOMAN.... Here they are installing computer cables at a school.... Al Gore for Vice President !!!!
  11. You just need to find some way to re-channel your libido towards more worthy pursuits. This is NOT about old age, meaning the choice to go celibate. It's about the decision to shake off the chains that tie one to the daily hassle of dreary relationships with the opposite sex. Most people are unwilling to admit just how terrible their lives are made by this need to cohabit with a female/male/or-what-have-you. I am happy I no longer need to wake up and see my former GF, my former wives, ... Or anybody. So much stress has just fallen away since I took the plunge into strict celibacy. Therefore I do recommend that you: A. Give one year of celibacy a try. B. Get rid of Microsoft Windows OS 10/11, and become free with Linux, OpenSUSE Leap, 15.6...... These are the two best decisions I have made in the past two decades. Try it.
  12. Personally, I think the choice of image for this news story is excellent, and it points up what is lacking at the present time. If you look at the school bus in the image, the bus has a cement block in front of the tire, to keep the bus from rolling. And, what is that BarberShop Pole doing on the side of the bus? Is this old bus used as a Barber Shop, or something? So then, the MESSAGE of this Image is that School Buses of Excellent Design are not in use for transporting children to and from school? I have no idea what the relative fatalities might be for children riding US buses to school vs buses used in other countries. However, just looking at Wikipedia, the story is not as simplistic as some might imagine. Is the USA actually safer, or not? Or, is this just a myth? For example this: Are some countries shifting to Van Chassis-Based School buses now? Nice article here about US buses, and just how much safer they seem to be: https://www.edweek.org/leadership/are-school-buses-safe-an-expert-explains/2024/02 Zero fatalities is the ideal....

  14. If I decide to wear a uniform, then... I will join The Civil Air Patrol... Much more COOL... And, you get to fly... If you have a plane. Overall, I would suggest that these old guys spend the time and money to get their private pilot's license. And then, see about joining some civil air patrol organization in Thailand.
  15. One of the safest of vehicles, or so it is said, is the standard type of school bus used in many states in the USA. Is this true? If so, why not use them in Thailand where traffic is not the safest in the world? These busses are not especially expensive, and least relative to the value of one young life. Difficult to think about a parent sending a child off to school, carried by anything other than the safest vehicle possible... Busses like this allow children to sit up above traffic level. Busses are very heavy, and are equipped with seat belts, and much more.
  16. Did you notice that he also left his dog? That is one heck of a beautiful dog. Who does things like leave a dog and go missing? The dog answers to: "Chops"
  17. I wonder if The Sun planned the guy's disappearance, and then hired him to go missing.
  18. A ticket for my dummy? What is that? You mean..... Fear of Flying is Fearful Enough without a dummy onboard.
  19. First, I must establish that the units are not performing as designed. Today was the first time I had measured the output voltage. I need to test more this week, and then contact JIB if warranted.
  20. aa. Correct. I am at fault here, and responsible for any delays in getting to the bottom of this issue. bb. All three UPS units were purchased at the same time, within days of each other, about 30 days ago. Purchased from JIB near RAM Hospital. cc. The meter I choose must show voltage, and also show whether or not a line is properly grounded. (Amperage reporting would also be nice, but not necessary. The voltage here is so unstable that the multimeter is a must-have device.) dd. In this case, I am reporting whatever I see/measure, and without resorting to poetic license. I will not be able to make further measurements until the washing-machine man returns to fit a drainpipe and ground.... Until then...then....
  21. I will test again, in a couple of days, when I have access to a "good" volt meter.
  22. I will not be able to test the voltage until the washing-machine technicians return with their volt meter. I will test again, at that time, later in the week. Also, I have looked at the specs for this unit, and you can see that there is no output voltage specified. Only a range for input voltage is stated. https://www.se.com/th/en/product/BV1000I-MST/apc-easy-ups-1000va-floor-wall-mount-230v-4x-universal-outlets-avr/ In addition, after a power outage, and even though it seems that power has been restored by PEA, still one of the units will continue to beep 4-times, even though the other two units are usable. Apparently, these units are quite sensitive to low power from the grid, or at least one of them is. I also have two other APC UPS units which I am unable to use here due to the poor quality electric power being supplied, it seems.
  23. No, I am not. The UPS, all three units, is connected to the PEA grid at time of measurement. Also, you can see that this design is not an ONLINE UPS. Therefore, it seems strange that there is this voltage discrepancy, since it is my understanding that the UPS does not switch to battery until milliseconds after power outage....transfer time is about 6ms, and 10 ms, maximum...for this particular design.
  24. Scenario (actual conditions, in fact): a. I have three identical APC UPS units: BV1000I-MST b. The voltage in this house is, as I just measured, 230 Volts. c. I measured the output voltage from all three UPS units: range is from 206 to 207 volts AC d. So, why the discrepancy? My only thought is that perhaps the volt meter I am using is not a True-RMS device? Any thoughts? Very strange, as usual.
