1 baht street water machines - do they have filters?
Serenity_Now replied to scubascuba3's topic in General Topics
i use a 1 baht machine all the time i hve not been sick yet it can be hit and miss ike you say the one i use is next to an street eatery and they aso use it (yes thats no guarantee) but its a well used machine drinking bottes why use all that plastic! there should be more filter machines in thailand the fightback in beach areas of machines of vendors that sell bottles slows that down now we know about microplastics NESTLE highest count the ones with the big filter are also pressure inside machine there will be 2 or more fiters -
I met an old worker I was jealous
Serenity_Now replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Guy I worked with in the states was 73 he was getting a bit weak got checked and doctors did not want to let hime leave required immediate bypass surgery. He told them to stuff it Reason it was a small hospital if anything went wrong it would have been a helicopter and he was not covered by insurance for that. So he went t the main hospital had the Bypass (triple) Within 3 weeks he was out with me part of it was that i was holding his business together keeping his long term projects up to speed. I always worried he might over do it It was fall and we were mulching throwing a couple of tons off each morning it soon got him up to recovery levels. He only travels internally asked why he still worked My wife would have me working in our yard and I dont get paid for that he said so he's much rather be out working keeping fit putting cash in his pocket that he could spend on his grand kids Surprised me a lot how many folk over retirement age want to work some have to in order to keep a crtain comfort level they are used to others know they would just fade away Retirement should be voluntary not compulsary -
China Leads Myanmar Quake Response as US Lags Behind
Serenity_Now replied to geovalin's topic in Myanmar News
@spidermike007 sorry Mike can only give you the Rueters link that details all countries efforts to date. https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/doctors-dogs-dollars-who-is-giving-aid-myanmar-after-earthquake-2025-03-31/ Musk's DOGE really stimied first response with the cutbacks much like musks DOGE firings where the two man dead switch was left to be manned by one guy The response has been “constrained for sure,” said the source, adding that the DOGE cuts left USAID with “zero surge capacity”. (no instant response teams) and actually there was a team in Thailand pre Earthquake and they were stood down one hour after shock! US sends military assistance to Thailand, money to Myanmar for quake relief | Stars and Stripes https://www.stripes.com/theaters/asia_pacific/2025-03-31/myanmar-thailand-indopacom-earthquake-usaid-17316311.html Boots are on the ground in Thailand though as link displays There are not many problems in Thailand so hopefully Thailand and USA will go over the border together Glad to see UK gave 10mill -
Upgraded Laptop Always Needs a Hard Restart

TRY THIS AS WELL Using Windows tell it to restart a few times rather than power off Then try the power off it can also be the result of not full update install the restart will flush the cache -
Upgraded Laptop Always Needs a Hard Restart
Serenity_Now replied to petedk's topic in IT and Computers
by your description even though its a windows shutdown its not switching off if your then hard resetting the only way to now that for sure i guess would be noe how much battery you have shut it down leave for an hour go back and check battery level lets check we are both meaning the same hard reset holding power down 10 seconds then pressing power again to boot. 1. Make sure your power settings are configured correctly. Open the Control Panel, go to "Power Options," and check the settings for "Choose what the power button does" and "Choose what closing the lid does." Ensure that they are set to shut down the computer. 2. Ensure that your BIOS and drivers are up to date. Visit the manufacturer's website for your PC and motherboard to download the latest BIOS version and update any necessary drivers. 3. Try resetting the power options to their default settings. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator and type the following command: powercfg -restoredefaultschemes. Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved. 4. Try disabling Fast Startup. Control Panel > Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do > Change settings that are currently unavailable > Uncheck the box next to Turn on fast startup (recommended) > Save changes. thats from microsoft since its windows thats doing the shutdown -
China Leads Myanmar Quake Response as US Lags Behind
Serenity_Now replied to geovalin's topic in Myanmar News
itt appears your a highly exitable person. So there is no USAID no more you should write for Rueters really your that knowledgeble about the ways of the USA state departments. UNITED STATES The United States pledged $2 million in aid "through Myanmar-based humanitarian assistance organizations". It said in a statement that an emergency response team from USAID, which is undergoing massive cuts under the Trump administration, is being sent to Myanmar. Yes, the state Dept is closing it down but by law must retain 15 individuals through the process. BUT CLEARLY NOT AS YOU INTERPRET Im so glad you feel that i am intellectually challenged its always the first mistake the superiority I always question my thoughts and intellect as one should if not we become obnoxious and toxic to the majority I am so very happy that I am toxic to your viewpoints. Yes, USAID and UK aid abroad was misguided in some areas but there is a reason why documents began to be shredded AID is also a 'soft power' influencer and lives could have been put at risk because aid pacakages were also linked to groups who'se views lay with USA rather than the government they reside under. That soft power is in operation to shift view points So funding projects more aligned with a western philosphy but your right IM just a stupid singulairy in a vast universe of intellectual giants, my view points irrelevant but seemingly enough to get your gander 😄 USAID will offically be shuttered on July 1st and under the state department new funding will flow to those who have American Intrests at heart. Sounds so very differnt when written like that doesnt it. USAID gave 250 million to Vietnam to buy electric vehicles that sounds absolutely absurd I wonder which models they purchased How can you bear to live in Thailand is probably the most pertinent point here it must be driving you insane and the Chinese influence OMG how dreadful for you. -

China Leads Myanmar Quake Response as US Lags Behind
Serenity_Now replied to geovalin's topic in Myanmar News
Many first responders put their lifes on the line every day without regard to assurances those who respond to earth quakes tunnel divers they seek no assurance i dnt have a big stick or a horse just common sense and decency sadly lacking at times especially when death is concerned. I would not call myself a trump supporter either so where does that leave us and I do not believe I actively said anything to make you believe such is RUETERS good enough for you r is it to an intellectually challenged and stunted see i just said your views had a toxicity of the war machine these are front line responders nurses doctors firemen policemen they seek no guarantee of safety just a desire too help those in need you quoted india and chinas mining concerns now you quote USA interests this is human lives you moneytize it all you wish there is room for growth in all especially those who deem to live in under the philosphy of a buddhist nation -

The Junta gave an open invitation to all who can help regardless DO NOT FOUL THIS WITH POLITICAL DIATRIBE These people suffer tremendously Like Laotatians most are poor and geniunely kind and warm not like your Jaded money grabbing Phiket Pattaya Thai. Do yourself a favor You know you guys are the only ones thinking about pont scoring here i will guess not a single Leader of any nation is thinking about point scoring maybe Trump in his rain man way would make such a statement if there were USA relief but really only a moron would step up to the plate and claim that y'all need to seriously consider your political philosphies Everything written on this thread thus far is ignorance and shameful -

sounds like the partition may be off. I would shove in a thumb drive of windows and format it then start again hate to ask but did you check the new component after you got home? (do you ean you let it go to sleep with the lid down and upon lifting it does not kick in? if so check power options for lid and do a wee twaek before you go the reload way) -

NO THEY WILL NOT FFS Lets just be thankful for any AID getting there the news stories took so long to get out because of Myanmars current political situation The Junta are Abhorent even bombing in the aftermath sick M****f*****s Any nation not doing their utmost to send aid should be ashamed China is on their doorstep so good on them. Japan is sending relief too a photo shows that the firebrigade needs to rethink their parking as parking underneath the structure has trapped all their vehicles. This is not about politics this is people trapped suffering and if Donald has not sent any aid SHAME on USA THey can trigger the war machine logistics to deliver anywhere in hours/days so no excuse except probably not knowing where Myanmar is I hope that fake town bit the dust Shwe Kokko, SHWE KOKKO -

Top 10 Reasons People Spend Time on the Forum
Serenity_Now replied to JK-Trilly's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Boredom of course comes first BUT everything or mostthings in life can become addictive plus the brain just loves repitition Having closed off all my social media this is it Although in a much more anonymus way. so initially Visa advice then it became an extension of the daily read of the news To assume people are penniless is an arrogance There are reward stimuli interactions that the brain is getting so for many they are no longer at home and even though you say you dont miss it, this forum is actually an extension to that connection of where you come from. Dopamine Seratonin a wee emoji given or recieved In some way lonliness could also be part of that I ticked about 4 boxes because no single reason is enough to justify any interaction here, iit's far more complex So in many ways we are no different from sad influencers who need some form of validation, we just get it with an emoji or a reply that affirmates our opinions. If you watch porn on the internet its also a form of addiction Creatures of habit and one of the lesser forms of addiction that is least harmful unless your posts are always hateful. Now and then also to help, I have sorted two members IT problems which is rewarding -

New Phone Riddled with Garbage Apps
Serenity_Now replied to Serenity_Now's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
I own a Pixel it is only 2.5 yrs old it was a verizon selloff brand new but already it has stopped updates stuck at android 12. I just rooted it and put on android 14 but as it is rooted just like Android 12 it is no use for banking Trump actually threatened to shut down all phones whose security updats had expired. Google has changed its mandate on updates which was its major flaw leaving customers in the wind. like me. They now give os and security updates equitable to iphones my old redmi was an ok fone still is I may lineage or pixel it Now Xiaomi is using Hyper OS and is far more entangled with google than before ive stripped it but could possibly take it further These are good phones ruined by software bloat but its got security and OS updates for 4 years so thats cool
