Still there and just re-read it, and don't know how that is considered trolling. Ask why, and gave 3 possible explanations, that I agreed with, 2 out 3, and the other, but in a different vein. People obviously have a problem with the messenger, not the message, as the message can easily be ignored. But they can't seem to ignore the messenger, and troll him constantly. IMHO ... nuff said Have a good one

to the title ... probably just clearing the land for new Israeli settlements to be build. Why waste time, especially when the rest of the world (USA ) is paying for the explosives. If using contractors & dozers, that would cost them money.

Perfectly legit question, and been asked many times by others. I even chimed in why I like NN. Others attacked the OP, and looking now, about the 5th post a mod had to come in & clean it up. Pretty sad if you ask me. One can only imagine what was deleted on 1st page. More than a few people, need to put each other on their ignore list, as I notice the same 5+ posters attack the OP on every thread he opens. couple fine examples, first few post ... really, why bother ...

It didn't start as baiting thread, as I posted earlier, but got deleted. His threads simply attract the trolls ... immediately, and go downhill from there. As I stated in the post that got deleted (since post I quoted got deleted), I'll take his sometimes interesting, sometimes silly threads over the stream of Trump & Thai hate threads

Yo fellas, let this one sink in ... and ... 'why bother', considering how many posts fit per page

To add, reference to USA, I wouldn't even have solar in USA, as if jumping through all the hoops, it would be at least 3X as expensive as our system here in TH. It would also take 3 to 5X as long for ROI, as I wouldn't own a BEV in the USA either, as crap & overpriced, and not really having a nationwide charging network unless owning a Tesla, which I also wouldn't own. Without the BEV, ROI of solar would take too many years and I've never lived in any house in the USA, more than 3 years. Maybe in retirement, in BumFuk rural USA, but ... NO THANKS.

Only if they are home to use, or compensated to feed the grid. Or it will be a long time for ROI. On the other topic, single family homes, detached or townhouses could easily be off grid, but condos & businesses would struggle, and near impossible if multi story structures. Unless panels covering every wall & roof surface, and then still a stretch. Didn't bother reading the article, since titled 'America', and USA is not solar friendly, as overpriced and over regulated. 60 million would be about 1/5 th the population, and that's a stretch, as many live in poor weather part of the year. Hurricanes, tornadoes, hail & snow, with NW very wet & overcast.

I'm a big fan of solar and have, but the small system you are discussing won't offset much at all. 1.2kWh of electric, at peak exposure, and for how long. If on a balcony, maybe 3 hours of peak exposure, or if facing south, 6 hrs max, and only during certain months of the year, due to earth's axis. If unobstructed on a roof, better, maybe 6 hrs peak year round, but if not home, not offsetting much, without battery for storage, then gets costly. Consider those needing to offset their electric, probably aren't home during the day, working or at school. Need 3kWh or 5kWh system w/ batteries to really offset enough to pay for itself. Unless of course, home all day, or you could feed into grid and get a good return for that, though unlikely. At least here in TH. Our system will give ROI within the next year (4 yrs total), but only because we have BEVs and are home during the day. Can probably be installed now, for about 250k THB, (10kWh inverter w/ 10kWh battery), and enough for 2 people to be off grid, year round in TH, if placed on roof @ ~5° pitch. IF our system only cost 250k then it would have paid for itself about a year ago, 2 yrs use. I do agree with the concept, and every roof, if applicable (location) should be covered with solar panels. We have enough excess during the day to run a whole other house, next door if there was one, on most days. Will produce 30-50kWh on good days. Other days, barely enough to top up the batteries, from use of the previous night, maybe 6-8kWh.

Deep State IMHO, are the folks controlling Davos, who probably control the Bilderberg folks. Deeper than the deepest you'll ever see. If they can't threaten or buy what policies they demand, they'll simply kill you Nobody is immune from their reach 😎 Why do you think Trump is still alive, as the best damn distraction ever put in place

Yea, we know, but that doesn't stop us 'criminals' from enjoying our illegal operating ... responsibly, I might add. Add to the fact, unless operating in a park, most Thais, don't care, hence my comment on staying clear of foreigner ... "Karens" & tourist areas.

😎

Politically, not till 20 Jan 2028, unless he craps out earlier. Although I suspect, he will on, in the minds of many ... Especially if the Dems take control mid term or in 2028, as their continued failures will surely be blamed on the Trump administrations.

I buy Harvey brand @ Makro, and best option I've found in TH for beef, especially where we live, as almost the only option IMHO. Added advantage of cutting your own, thick, steaks.

I'm not 'turning' on Israel, as it's always been on my '<deleted> list'

Only the govt could be involved in producing something that cost 4X it's value to make ... "This move is expected to save the US government approximately $56 million annually, given that producing each penny costs nearly four cents." ...

If you do, do NOT order the one that may offer a heating element, as it's a POS, low wattage and takes forever to heat up the water, IF it does at all. Yea, it's that slow, I didn't wait to see if it boiled the water. Wife salvaged it out of the trash 🙄 and uses it when making her soap, needing a low, steady heat, so it actually gets used 👍 If O&A, you can use mini gas burner, and the Moka pot for good coffee, as I used to.

Was actually thinking about buying one recently, Mini 2, but it's been discontinued. Don't want the SE version.

An accident ... and what damage to think would be incurred. IF hitting anything in the sticks of value ... ... maybe a broken roof tile, maybe ... or a dented car, cracked window You'd have to be the unluckiest person in the village to be hurt by a falling drone, especially since most now try to be under 250 grams in weight. At worse, maybe drop on a moving vehicle and cause an accident, and can only imagine the statistical chance of that happening, and at 'village speeds'. I had one drop out of the air, 900 grams, and didn't even crack the headlight.

I'm doing my share to "save the planet", that doesn't need saving. Also providing cleaner air for those behind me in traffic, as good portion of those electrons power the BEVs. Surely there's a spot reserved in heaven for me

I'm now contemplating a couple things ... ... why I'm still scrolling through AN ... why I'm even replying to this post Figured it out, still didn't finish my coffee, so need to do something, while enjoying the view & sipping. Checking my LPOS meter ... Oh Crap

Apparently the first U-turn you passed

Wife has no desire to live in an Amphur, where most family is, let alone little home town, Na Klang, NBLP. Ain't a damn thing out there. All I need is a Makro & internet. Having a decent Pizza Co is a plus, as it does a better Pepperoni pizza than I do, and probably cheaper (2 for1 ). Have a few restaurants here, even less have AC. No real western food offerings. 2 farang run western food venues, and where all the farangs seem to eat. That's just sad ... Overpriced crap from looking at the menus

Any Amphur with < 90k people Main district (town) in the Amphur having < 27k Rest of the districts so small, don't even have a wiki page The light green Amphurs .., about 75% of TH Ko Lak district ... Home Sweet Home
