  1. I'm just unclear on the point of this here thread. Apparently insurance is bad, and the two examples we've been given are: 1) lady gets drunk and injures herself, which is not covered by insurance, and 2) guy doesn't even have insurance.
  2. “I tried to get him travel insurance that would cover scooters, but there was nothing,” she said. https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/incidents/aussie-father-fighting-for-his-life-after-serious-scooter-accident-in-bali/news-story/86c3b39966c8845a9a547f8247a2a181 Our daughter Leah, Kevin's wife, who is 32 weeks pregnant, has made the rush decision with Kevin's father and brother, to fly over there to be by his side for few days. ....we are doing a Go Fund Me
  3. Turn on both items. Press F10 on your laptop to get the multiple screen menu. Click "Duplicate" to operate both screens.
  4. Never said it was a crime. It's dangerous, which is one reason why it's illegal in many cities. So yeah, jaywalking has consequences. Old guy FAFO'd.
  5. Sue? That's not a pedestrian crossing. Old man needs to cross at a zebra crossing or at an intersection. Jaywalking has consequences.
  6. 2 bank letters. You need the guarantee letter with the current balance, and you need a 2-month statement. I'm pretty sure the letter needs to be same day. Just reserve the last slot before lunch to get out before lunch. Bangkok Bank is on the same main road as immigration, same side. Keep heading north, pass Makro and Home Pro, then another km or so.
  7. There is another meaning. Tarantino much?
  8. Unless Mr. Important drove against the flow, 'cause he couldn't be bothered to drive the couple hundred meters to the next legal U-turn.
  9. The appointment time is your allotted window to visit with the IO. You'll need to arrive early enough before that to have your paperwork examined. I believe there are dual queues once you've had your papers checked. I may be mistaken, but I recall the number call screen in the waiting area having two rosters. You must inform the checker of papers that you have an appointment to confirm your arrival to be entered into the appointment queue, otherwise you'll be entered into the random-dude-wandered-in-off-the-street queue.
  10. Nothing rayciss about spitting contests. We held watermelon spitting contests at our county fair in Virginia. You want rayciss? The Scots hold haggis hurling events at their highland games!
  11. How so? Viruses don't just wander around on their own. They attach themselves to water/dust/fluids which then move them along from one host to the next. A mask or condom or gloves prevent passage of the media carrying the virus. This isn't that hard to understand. It's the dust/pflegm carrying the virus that is airborn, it's not a big ol' ball of virus. Now consider a barrier stops movement of fluids carrying the virus, in BOTH relative directions. source: https://www.epa.gov/coronavirus/indoor-air-and-coronavirus-covid-19 Infected person's mask stops most droplets going out. Uninfected person's mask stops most droplets coming in.
  12. The average pore size in a condom is ~5 microns. HIV virus is 120 nm, which is ~0.12 microns. Jinkies! That wee, tiny virus should just be bursting through, right? So how could condoms effectively prevent HIV? It works like this. Virus is miniscule but doesn't migrate on its own, it needs a host media for transmission. A barrier that prevents the host media from passing through also prevents the virus from passing.
  13. Concrete materials yard. Get a medium water/sever pipe coupling. 85cm diameter, 35cm width. Should cost about 125 baht.
  14. The linked article says But if you googles, you can find e-extension elsewhere.
  15. A lot of what you find in China is simply copy-&-pasta. Hotel/restaurant manager wants additional items on the menu, looks through some western foodie magazines, rips out a few pages, and hands them to his "chef" to recreate. The "chef" will make a dish that looks like the item in the photo. Spaghetti made with ketchup? Well, it looks right............
  16. Ah. That explains fish sauce.
  17. What does the contract you signed say about penalties for breach of contract? If there are penalties in the contract you agreed to, and the school is "threatening" to use the methods you agreed to, then there is no "arbitrary" control over your life. Would you not sue or contact government agencies to require the school to pay your salary if they failed to do so? Should that be considered arbitrary control of the institution's finances?
  18. Cool story, bro! But TIT, and you simply have one anecdote.....your experience on one particular day in one particular district at one particular office with one particular IO who consumed one day's particular breakfast.
  19. Depends on how your system is designed. Ours has the main storage tank and pump feeding the house separate from the yard faucets. When power goes out, we lose water in the house, but still have water pressure in the yard. House outlets are situated close to or higher than the water tank level, so little to no head pressure without the pump. Garden outlets are connected directly to the government supply.
  20. I assume it's like a house fan. Turn it on and it blows a constant stream of air. Turn it off and wind drafts will flow through and turn the blades. Neither the unpowered fan nor the unpowered water pump lock the blades when not in use.
  21. Yes, the hydraulic head in the big 700-1000 liter storage tank next to your pump is pushing water through the pump even when the pump is off. You'll get some flow, much less than when pump is running, from outlets lower than the tank water level or parts of the system still charged with water. (If that's not the way it's supposed to work, then my pump may be defective also.)
  22. I assume you mean the valve between the storage tank and the pump. If so, yes, water will continue to run through the pump as long as there is head in the tank. When I do pipe repairs, I have to remember to turn the pump off AND turn off the the supply valve from the main storage tank. Lopburi is talking about a system with a smaller pressure tank between the pump and the house intake that maintains a more constant pressure. That one has a pressurized bladder. Not all systems have a pressure tank. Mine does not. I'm not sure, but I think the pressurized tanks are more common on systems drawing water from wells.
  23. Prop 113 was approved by the voters and signed into law by the governor of Colorado in 2019. It's law. It may or not take effect in the next election, depending on how many other states wish to subvert the constitution.
