I picked these up at DoHome. Available in black or white, individual bits you mix&match. HunnyBunny wanted receptacles on the wall above the stovetop. One standard socket for the stovetop (white) and one specialty socket for the air fryer (black) that accepts the Chinese three prong plug with angled blades. Both have an on-off rocker switch above the socket.

If any of that were true, it would surely have been highlighted in the gobegforme account page. The would have put much emphasis on how he was being uber safe and following all the rules even pulling off the road to make a phone call.

Easy fix. When you return, remove the wood plate, which is too small for the numbers. What to do with the holes already drilled? Replace with a thin stone plate that looks nice against the stone column, makes the numbers legible from the road, and is the correct size for the numbers. Drill it to use the holes you already have prepared. If you're worried about the Thai lady, next time it comes up, casually mention that you're not happy that YOU made a poor design. Can't fault the workers for following your orders. You'll try something else when you return.

You must have purchased a specialized bit for an industrial drill. Or rather, the clerk sold you a specialized bit but couldn't admit the misteak. Standard drill bits (metal, wood, concrete) are available at Global House, DoHome, Home Pro, Mr. DIY...............and of course local hardware shops.

Was the pickup driver intoxicated? It wasn't mentioned in the news article, so i suspect that was just sympathy filler in the gofundme script. The reporter wouldn't print that without seeing a police report. I suspect they made up some other bits to make the motorcyclist appear more deserving, like the part about ending the call before the accident. Most likely he was still talking when he hit the pickup.

Depends. How large is the transfer, and what is the forex rate at the receiving bank? Set up a spreadsheet and calculate the total cost using both for various amounts. You can get the actual forex rate from xe.com, and compare that to the right now rates from wise and your Thai bank website.

That could be fun. See how long you can keep them on the line. Be interested, ask many questions. Be dense. Don't understand. Ask for clarification. Misunderstand. Be confused. Be polite but dumb as a rock. When they start to get exasperated and want to end the call, casually mention that you lost your job and your credit cards have been cancelled due to non-payment, but it wasn't your fault, so you could really really really use a loan or credit line.

It wasn't? All his family claimed was That doesn't tell us what happened, or which lane the motorbike was in. Nothing there to assign fault. And this is a one-sided report from the family. If the police report gave any indication of the pickup driver being at fault, surely that would have been included in the article. All I get out of this is: 1. out for a drink with the lads 2. on his motorbike in the early hours 3. no helmet 4. on the phone I wouldn't want to assume, but............

I recently saw a fellow intent on texting and fall off a curb into the street. Hopefully the government will get around to installing glass barriers to prevent this happening again. Someone might get hurt. When they complete that, I hope they get around to installing glass barriers on all the beaches. Someone might fall and get wet.

Don't know if it's still a thing, but long ago back in the states, my relatives had St. Christopher medals hanging on the rear-view mirror.

The fine for driving without a license is 1000 baht. The fine for driving on an expired license is 2000 baht. You were ticketed for unlawful parking, not while driving, so I doubt that would apply. Anyone could have borrowed your car and parked in a no parking area. Nothing illegal about owning a car without a license and having someone else drive it.

I was just informed by a Chinese lady that the finger motion means "Love," because it resembles a heart.

Indeed! And here's what it looks like in person.

That's awful! I never knew lynchings were a Finnish custom.

Gosh, that's just as bad! ????

Visit a Chinese college campus and get back to us.

The schoolgirl outfits are very popular in China. They love to play dress-up in Korean/Japanese cosplay outfits and spend hours taking photos for their WeChat pages and making cute dance videos for TikTok.

I don't understand why the driver didn't just claim it was a "micro-sleep, everybody does it."

The TM47 confirmation email includes an attached receipt PDF. Save the PDF on your phone and laptop, and copy to a USB. Next time you're at the mall, copy shop can print from your USB.

I've ordered glasses online from Zenni several times. Glasses made in and shipped from China. Never had customs duties. If you have glasses sent from the US via delivery service like Fedex, you mileage may vary.

I believe you'll need a special Tibet travel visa in addition to your China visa. There are tour companies that organize all this for you, for a price, so better in a group. You could check this site for some related info: https://www.gt-rider.com/ https://www.gt-rider.com/se-asia-motorcycling/threads/tibet-tour-april-2016-day-11-to-day-14-the-run-home.13064/

When the agent puts 800K into your account for a couple hours and then immediately withdraws it, you'll be needing an agent again next year as you haven't maintained the correct balance in your bank account throughout the year.

I recall seeing one in the parking garage. Haven't been there in a couple years, but expect it's still there.

Looking at other surgeries available locally........coronary bypass or valve replacement under $15K, hip or knee replacement around $10K.....I would bet his required surgeries would be less than a commercial repatriation flight. But a gofundme free flight and free surgery from NHS would be the most economical option if they're having difficulties with their insurance carrier.
