Good. But, this must have been for a commercial operation?: 36 meters of cable to hang clothes seems like a lot for home use.

Just thinking out loud, here: Instead of hemp, or SS pipe, what about surplus High-Voltage Transmission cable? This stuff is built to last, and it has been tested in the mountains of Taiwan during Super Typhoons. There must be some place to find a 12-meter piece that is being sold cheap. There are plenty of high-voltage wires around my house, for example. I must admit... This would make a heck of a clothesline.... So, some sort of wire is probably the best way to go. China sells High Voltage transmission wire, for example.

I think I ALREADY alluded to the Topic of Knots when I mentioned Hitchcock.... Half-Hitch Clove-Hitch Rolling Hitch And the all-time-favorite.... The BOWLINE! What are you....a Day Man?, a First Mate?, a Yacht Builder? Or something?

This is the BEST comment I have read on TV, thus far. My comments/posts don't even come close. Normally, one would need to braid a loop at the end of such a rope, or braid an end, etc.

I am unaware of this meaning. A cracker, in slang in the US, usually means a hillbilly. To be crackers is to be crazy. A crackerjack of an individual would mean an exemplary person. And then, you have Animal Crackers in Shirley's soup, of course. Etc...

If you are talking about a cracker in the southern part of the US, it just means some nutcase who has not seen Paris, and also someone who is not schooled, and most likely illiterate.

You get a prize in every box.

Maybe well informed, but did you still miss this important story in FE, the Financial Express? https://thefinancialexpress.com.bd/lifestyle/others/how-nauru-became-the-most-obese-country-in-the-world I would be most surprised if SPAM in a Can is not mentioned. Spam is very welcome cargo in these places.

Anyone wearing a green hat in China/Taiwan will be considered a cuckold. The Chinese expression: Dai Lu Mao .... is known to most Chinese....

What is YOUR interpretation of WOKE, Wokeness? Just curious. Concerning Wokeism, Cancellation Culture, and Freedom of Speech.... Better listen to Noam....

NO. Except, sometimes, I cannot help but hear about all the mass shootings in my home country, even though I try to stuff cotton in my ears. On November 10, for example.... Seems as if St. Croix is no longer the paradise it once was, 55 years ago, when I went to visit my roommate in the Virgin Islands. Still, it seems that it might be partially true that possession of firearms does not directly correlate with intentional homicide by gun.\: So, in reply to the OP.... Yes, I do keep track of some of the mass shootings in my home country. But, I really do not know why.

Sounds really terrible for you. The only solution is to move, I think. You are too old to waste time trying to endure the unendurable. Only solution is to move out, and find someplace which is peaceful.

Would it not be simpler just to move out of a condo and into a house? That is really the only fix. Moving into a house, instead of a condo, was my last resort, and I am thankful every day, these days, that I decided to make the move. Unless you live in a BrownStone in NYC, like Sherman McCoy, a house is better.

Would it not also be a good idea to make it as easy as possible for those on retirement visa to remain here as long as possible, or until they croak, with as few restrictions as possible.... Maybe even add a few more enticements for those who wish to retire here or are already living here as retired people?

I bought an iron for ironing my clothes. But, it doesn't get hot enough and often drips when I push the steam button. This is why I take my shirts, sheets, trousers, and pillowcases to the professional guys (men) who steam press everything. In Thailand, this is what everybody should do.

I know the value of a woman. Yet, I am not even married.

The thing that surprises me most is that this accident did not involve Taiwan's China Airlines. I recall the crashes of China Airlines in Japan and Hong Kong and Taoyuan airports. Sometimes, China Airlines lands upside down in Typhoons when they should not be flying. In the near future, aircraft will not be operated by humans, and then....flying will become even safer than it is now.

Note: Very good and solid information in your comment, by the way.... So...Thank you.

Years ago, many years ago, I shipped out aboard a vessel plying the seas from Yokohama to Ras Tanura. Plenty of rope in those days. Anyway, I will take your advice and buy hemp. Also, I like the cut of your jib.

Just so you know, I have been spending much of the evening searching rope on Lazada. What I would really like for a clothesline, stretching a long way between the two poles is something like this: But, I cannot afford it, really, at Bt160.00 per meter. That would make a heck of a clothesline. I could hang clothe hangers from it with ease. Good Rope is EXPENSIVE, as you probably know. (I really HATE the flimsy clothesline that most women use. I am a MAN, for sure, and I like things that have heft to them. Good quality line that will last a long time and not fall apart in a stiff breeze.)

Sorry. Hope you get the info you require.

I had always thought HITACHI was better than Mitsubishi....for motors/pumps like this.... Anyone here agree with me?

Hi Folks, I am about to purchase rope for two purposes, but not to hang myself up to dry, only my clothes, and only hang for exercising purposes. a. I need a strong clothesline. One that must stretch for about 15 meters between two strong metal vertical posts. b. I also want to have some rope to make a chin-up bar out of rope and bamboo. c. I might want to also have some rope to attach to a truck tire so that I can pull it around the neighborhood, just for exercise. So, what do you think might be the best rope for this purpose. The rope will be exposed to the sun. But, since I have a large metal awning, I think it might not get too wet. I am thinking of other characteristics such as: a. price b. abrasion resistance c. elongation d. strength e. breaking strength f. moisture absorbency g. flexibility h. weight i. And, lastly, fatigue resistance Have you already found the most suitable type of rope on Lazada for these purposes? I would dearly like to know your reviews of various ropes. Regards, Gamma Note: I know what you are thinking. And I thought the same thing. Anytime I consider the question of rope, I always first think of the Alfred Hitchcock film, ROPE.... (one of my favorite films).... Hitch is so great. Nobody can replace him, it seems, even after all these years.

My mental health is not dependent upon MY browsing habits....I like to think.

I do NOT buy cheap components, by the way.
