  1. I don't understand. Sounds like some sort of NEW AGE thinking.... Or....Flower Power Philosophy....
  2. I haven't lost a dime. Why is that?
  3. TUNA, I hope. The smell of Tuna always makes me, suddenly, ravenous.
  4. He is an example of the true scientist. He reminds me of Ben Franklin, a true American.
  5. Trump, in this shot, reminds me of the great film... PATTON.... Same backdrop of the red and white strips. Where is George C Scott, when we need him?
  6. And, every time a jet overflies my house, rattling the windows, I will have the added benefit of a whiff of french fries (chips), right? I cannot wait. ((I prefer NUCLEAR POWERED aircraft, for just this very reason.)) No smell.
  7. In Europe, they don't like us. Thankfully, Randy Newman replies to their scorn. I am proud of Randy. Anyway...We Don't Want their Love.....
  8. OBVIOUSLY.... To a very major extent... It has been the US Importers who have been responsible for keeping import duties to the US low, especially China, Taiwan and other countries. If there is true reciprocity, then Trumps experiment is long overdue. There is really no reason for the USA to help protect overseas manufacturers. Of course, the US manufacturers in China will not be happy...and this is Trump's point. Unfortunately, China is set up so that one must manufacture in China to gain access t the Chinese market, and factories must be joint ventures, etc. Will this change?
  9. Taiwan's import taxes have been way too high for many decades. Taiwan is no longer a developing country. And soon, Taiwan will be a province of China, anyway.
  10. Thank you. Very interesting, and I had not heard of this brand. However, I have heard of people using something from Bluetti. Are you familiar with their products? So, the question is, at least for me, which is better...for my purposes. https://www.bluettipower.com/products/solar-generator-elite-200-v2?id=67c197013fc3f304dcea274c The link is just to one of their products, I picked at random. However the Bluetti site has a wide range to choose from. a. Which brand is more reliable. b. Which products are more expandable, versatile. And, my minimum need is to have two desktop computers running simultaneously: Approx 800 watts, max. Four monitors, minimum: probably less than 400 watts. And that would do it for a minimum power demand. Must be able operate for one hour minimum. However, I would then add on to boost to...up to 3 hours. However, the need for 3 hours of backup is not frequent. ============ Then, I am wondering if the internet router JUNCTION BOX outside, SOMEWHERE, has backup power, and how much. If I cannot use internet, just having computers running is pointless. ================= So, part of the minimum requirement is to be able to use the internet for video conferencing, or high speed upload download, with low latency, during a power outage of one hour, minimum, and up to three hours, during a longer outage. (The crazy power here usually comes back online before we reach the three hour mark. But, the power in this are is garbage, for sure.) IF I cannot solve this minimum requirement, then probably must move. Internet and computers are necessities. And, the power workers here, sub station here, probably have no comprehension that reliability of power is directly tied to quality of life, and economic growth. Just how much education they have had is also suspect. Do they even have a world view....haha....who knows. (Do I have a world view, for that matter....probably not.)
  11. Isn't this she? She has turned up brutalized. However, it's also interesting that she had intended to come to Thailand instead of hanging out where she was, and getting into trouble. Far safer for people here in Thailand, IMHO....every time...
  12. Power failures, micro outages, happen 12 months out of the year, rain or shine. However, it is quite interesting that they rarely happen from about 9PM to 6AM....why, I am not sure. Some might say due to less wind at night. But, i don't think this is it. Some might say that fewer animals are running around at night, and this might be a factor. However, why so many micro outages during daytime hours? And, when no wind and no rain? It's a mystery that the power company is puzzled by, apparently.
  13. Bring back two, and send me one, please. I need to use it with a laptop for when the power fails here, which is increasingly often.
  14. So then, it's permissible to use English to communicate? Or, is there a law against that. The difficulty I mentioned has more to do with intended length of use. If it were possible to sell it if one moves, leaves the country, etc.,, then installing Solar might be easier. Seems to me that this is one of the only major hurdles. Therefore, if this hurdle can be overcome, many more will make the shift to use solar and NOT use the unreliable alternative.
  15. Without solar, then one has a completely unstable and unreliable source of power. In order to actually do anything worth doing, one must have stable and reliable power. So far, stable power is only something one can dream about, without solar. The reliability of the grid here will not improve, judging based on the way reliability has been trending for the past two decades. Therefore, the only solution is for homeowners to supply their own power. But, installing solar here is also easier said than done. If they want to supply services here, and if they bar the competition, then they should at least do it right. Rather than building a railway, they should have first started on the Grid, with a TON of help from China.
  16. Why not? Is there any good reason for this? Isn't OuterSpace free?
  17. In recent years, not too long ago.... There were topless women building temples in CM. a. Farang, tattooed women should be banned from the beach, if topless. b. Burmese women, if topless, are completely OK. ================ Those Burmese jugs were udder perfection. The black and white photo is available, and miraculous. True beauty and purity.
  18. No worries... Musk is too tall for me. Also, to gangling for me. But, I love him just the same.
  19. Very nice. But, I wish I could get the FULL image, and enlarge it to cover the entire surface of my monitor.
  20. Are you sure? Or, devastation reigned? Rain Reign Rein All three, I find confusing. Anyway, this is the way we wrote it at McGill, when, in Quebec City, conflagration reigned during that student uprising in the 70s, when the youngsters set the city alight.... It was BEAUTIFUL....
  21. I have seen high-resolution images posted on TV, recently, mostly of great images of birds. So then,.... HOW-TO.....???
  22. This is an easy question. Great writing, in Thai script..... IS A FICTION.
  23. Dear Folks, Is it possible to use Starlink Roam in Thailand? If so, then this might be one reason to buy a laptop, rather than use desktops. If you are using Starlink Roam on your laptop in Thailand, then does it work? Just a question. Regards, Gamma Note: I love Elon Note2: When I say I love Elon... I mean...I LOVE Musk.
