Agree with poor surface prep before painting. Possibly using watered down primer & paint. Never add water to either. Also agree above roof may not have been properly waterproofed, and chapping on side of upper wall poorly waterproofed, primed & painted. That the rest of the wall doesn't show the same damaged means moisture is not being retained in the wall itself as it is in the ceiling and beam. You see this quite a bit at the bottom of walls on ground level floors, when no moisture barrier was used. Ground moisture seeps up through the cement & block and paint peels from moisture behind.

Agree OP should seriously consider taking a peek at the BYD Atto 3, if wanting an SUV. Not just kick the tires, but a short test drive. Pretty sure he'll be impressed. While there, peeked at the other BYD offerings, to see if the tick most of you boxes.

👍 👍

What ? No need to wait for the future. Use what's available now, and improvements when they are available in the future. Everyone seems to be waiting, and why things are as screwed up as they are. There are trash to energy plants in many countries across the planet. That there's not enough, simply shows, people simple don't care. It's not a good look on humanity, or the planet. But they are happy to complain, just not help or do anything. Plenty of solutions to most problems. People just don't care, maybe just a wee bit too inconvenient for them, or don't want to pay a few more baht for a cleaner planet. Yea, that hypocrisy thing again. You can't complain about the noise or air pollution in the metro areas if your still driving petrol, especially diesel fueled vehicles. Imagine standing on the corner of Sukhomvit rd & suk sor 4, and all vehicles are EVs. Just the noise of rolling tires & no exhaust to smell ... BLISS You could probably even walk a km or 2, with smelling and feeling dirty, wanting to take a shower as soon as you get home. People complain about all the trash, but continue to buy processed and packaged foods, instead of home cooking from scratch. Trust me, it taste better and even saves you money. Yes, it takes some effort. And your scraps. what little there is, along with tissue, paper towels, (biodegradables) all go into your compost pile, to feed your garden, instead of the landfill or seas. And you get to eat better, healthier food, no pesticides. Generate less trash that you complain about. Recycle some things, and hope the gov't does the right thing, though sadly not, most times, but you tried. All that seems to be too inconvenient for most and would solve many issues ... but they enjoy complaining about it all. I lost respect for most people, Why I'm a bit anti social. Do it because you care what goes into your body, or care to simple eat better, or just save money. No need to try to save the planet, as less contribution to the trash simple will come naturally. No real thought or effort involved. Take away your packaged foods, (boxes & cans) and your trash bins will take a week or 2 to fill up. Not overflowing and need to be picked up once or twice a week. As long as it's picked up and taken away, now someone else's problem, or even better, ship it to another country as long as it's out of your sight, but is it really People seem happy to live in and swim in trash, and only complain about it. No respect for themselves or their environment. Oh well, som nam na. Much is being sad ... but nothing nothin nothing is being done ...

Just think how much more stuff they could make, if they actually kept their plastic waste:

Likely UN-reused. Less than 25% of collected plastic is actually recycled

A beach you have to pay to get, pay to be on, enter from the other side of island, and then, when you get there, you can't swim in it ... One of Best Beaches in the World ... to avoid Oh yea ... Lonely Planet

Nothing that we do or don't do, is to save the environment or the planet, as it doesn't need saving. We have solar & EVs, simply to save money, and they perform better. Solar provides enough energy for all EVs & house (24/7). Only time we use the grid, is when we're away from home, and most of energy in TH is generated by natural gas, especially where we live & go, mostly south of us. Our closest, new neighbor is about 150 meter away. Prior to 6 months ago, closest would be 2-300m away. We're almost 3 sided by pineapple fields & coconut groves. Quite lovely, and vids posted before. I doubt if we burn a kg of trash per week, as we simply don't generate much. Most food is from scratch, so what ever the raw ingredients come in, usually a plastic bag is about all the trash we have. Since most everything else goes in the compost piles, or to recycle vendors, about the only thing left is single use plastic bags, which don't weigh much. So 1 kg a week is a stretch. No way am I giving them to the municipality to dispose of. Even if I only save 1 turtle. Besides, there's no trash collection on our dead end soi anyway. I'm not going to buy a plastic bag to save trash (plastic bags) to take to some roadside trash can. Which they may or may not be disposed of properly, though is there really any proper way to dispose of it. Burning ... no Dumping, land or sea ... no Even trash to energy isn't good, I wouldn't think. Better, but not perfect. Best not to use single use plastic to begin with, but I have no control over that. It is what it is, the planet will survive no matter how much humans trash it up. Human will survive, no matter how much trash is burnt or spread about. Burning ours, is simply convenient for us, and safer for them turtles ... If folks think CO2 is a problem, then you might want to research how much of the atmosphere is made up of CO2, (about 0.04 percent) and how much of that is contributed by humans (and humans have contributed only 3% +/-). It's good for chuckle Plenty of TT or YT shorts if you need a visual instead of actually reading. And before anyone spouts any more BS .... "Carbon monoxide is present in Earth's atmosphere at very low concentrations. A typical concentration of CO in Earth's troposphere is around 100 ppb (parts per billion; meaning one hundred out of every billion air molecules is carbon monoxide), although especially clean air can have concentrations as low as 50 ppb."

Not a good idea to post that on open forums, as they may not want the attention it may attract from the authorities.

I use my own meter, and not the app, as ours don't have displays. Now outside: Inside:

Or ... other farangs who actually know what they are talking about and provide source of info, to back it up

Yes, or worse, dumped in seas. If it's not recycled properly, then where do you think it is going ? source "Thailand is the sixth-largest contributor of plastic waste in the ocean. Every year, an estimated 87 per cent of recyclable plastic in Thailand is improperly recycled or disposed of, leading to an estimated 322,000 tonnes of plastic in the ocean. "

We have original, and v2, only one of each. Original in the smaller bedroom (23m²), and v2 in the main room (83m²) of the house. And door between left open when ACs are on. They will actually take the PM2.5 level down to -0-, if not cooking anything. The ACs have air purifiers built in also, but don't do much on their own.

Sadly the tech is there, it's just not implemented enough now. Apparently it's cheaper to burn or dump trash on land or at sea. Trash to energy plants are real, work well, but more expensive. TH only has a few, and so successful, they turn trash away, as they can't handle the capacity, as other areas want to use their plants. A few not in Krug Thep area, restrict use to more local trash collection, as max'd out on what the plants can handle per da. As stated, a slow work in progress: Thailand plans to build 79 waste-to-energy plants in upcoming years, Seems most realize they are a good idea ... just not in their back yard.

Does seem to be about the messenger, and not the message. I'm use to it, and thick skinned when it comes to forums.

Since TH does NOT recycle most of what they do collect now, which we do give our recyclables to the vendors that collect it (reading comprehension), there isn't much hope is there. Seems to be a work in progress, where none is being made. My post and reply to it, is not about recycling, it's about non-recyclables. And TH, not EU/UK/US or any other sh!thole. Even if we lived in one of the Nanny sh!tholes the fine you for to much trash, we wouldn't even come close to that amount. (reading comprehension....again). As already pointed out, TH's recycling effort is a failure. Recycling bins at PTT/7-11s/malls are evidence of that, where nobody seems to care. It all mixed up. I like Japan's method of no trash bins, and you take it home with you to be disposed of properly, maybe. 4.8 tonnes of trash per European yearly .. Lucky if we produce 50 kg a year, and I think I'm being generous with that number. Not much left that doesn't go to the compose pile or get recycled.

More wasted tax dollars. Y'all need to stop buying American junk. Overpriced F35s, and apparently Tridents don't work very well either. RTnews blip, but sources from the Sun, and an unarmed nuke missiles test had a major oops, and not the first time. More wasted tax pounds, maybe better spent subsidizing citizens' heating or food bills instead of defense budget. "British nuclear submarine test fails An unarmed Trident missile splashed down into the Atlantic Ocean moments after being fired from a sub The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has said an “anomaly” occurred during the test-firing of a Trident missile from a British nuclear submarine off the coast of the US state of Florida last month, raising concerns about the effectiveness of London’s nuclear deterrent. UK tabloid The Sun, which first reported the story, said on Tuesday that the missile, which was fitted with fake warheads, splashed back into the ocean after its launch from HMS Vanguard. The state-of-the-art nuclear submarine was not damaged when the 58-ton missile re-entered the Atlantic Ocean. According to the report, the “anomaly” occurred when the missile’s first-stage boosters failed to ignite after launch. “It left the submarine but it just went plop, right next to them,” the outlet quoted an anonymous source as saying. The last Trident test in 2016 also failed when the missile veered off course, the BBC said, adding that each weapon comes at an estimated cost of £17 million ($21.5 million)." source

There's that reading comprehension again. Of the 3 choices, burning, or dumping in landfill or seas, I believe burning is the lesser of 3 evils. Especially for the amount we burn and the area we live in. It will dissipate and be least harmful, since living rural, rather than collecting it all from everyone, and burning or dumping it all in one more populated area, that already has too much of their own waste. You seem to not understand that. Have a nice day.

Better snap of the Owlet

Had the same problem with new upgrade version 4.6.3 So uninstalled and reinstalled version 4.6.2 ... working as before, by just clicking on magnet, then qbittorrent auto opens & starts the DL.

"Cross illegally Many people turn themselves in to seek asylum. First of all, it’s worth getting a basic sense of what it actually means to cross the border illegally. Sometimes it means traversing a desert or forging across a large body of water — but it’s not always that hard. In some places, like parts of Ciudad Juárez, the Mexican city across from El Paso, Texas, you can get to American soil by walking across a relatively narrow and calm stretch of the Rio Grande. If migrants did that when Title 42 was in place, U.S. officials could send them back to Mexico within minutes, which will no longer be an option. Now, people who enter the country without proper documentation will either be put into formal deportation proceedings, which is a years-long, drawn-out process, or an expedited removal process that is intended to process and deport people much faster. Families and children will mostly be put on the first, slower track, which means they will be given a date to appear before an immigration judge, but will be allowed to wait inside the country, living and working legally until their case is decided."

They don't even bother trying to go around the border control, as they know they will be admitted to the country. That's open borders. Walk in, get you court date, then released into the USA ... doesn't get any easier than that. Shy of 10k a day. Before they avoided getting caught, as they know they likely be returned to Mexico.

I'll burn it, before I let the gov't dump it in the seas. Or more likely, simple burns it themselves. I don't believe in MMCC/GW. I can only limit so much contribution to the local low level air pollution. I can't eliminate it all, simply not practical. Plastic in landfills certainly isn't a solutions, as will eventually make it to the water table. Microplastic is already in almost everything it seems, so people don't need to drink it. Though we only drink RO filtered water, delivered in hard plastic bottles Then transferred to glass vessels of course. Also why we live away from metro areas, so our burning isn't a major impact on the local air quality, or need to breathe in more than the atmosphere can dissipate during this time of year. Is it perfect, no, but best I can think of. Next up, smokeless burn barrel, and been putting that off too long. Our once a month burn will at least be less smoke. If you're still driving a petrol vehicle, please don't tell me about my contribution to air pollution.

Same, stopped using years ago.
