I wouldn't hire a foreigner in Thailand for anything.

I was told once that if I was going to get cheated/screwed, et al in Pattaya the chances are better that it would be a "farang" rather than a local.

How do you define intelligence ?

On this forum 🤔

I thought I'd seem some stunts pulled but look at this one..........note also the description.

 

 

 

And do you actually receive, what is this actually for ?........an A4 size piece of Tin with that sticker on it ! ????????????

 

And before some bright spark translates or can READ Thai yes I know what it says, but I think you get the point. (Hopefully)

I would assume based on info above that I was buying a container of pellets.

In many civilised european countries, unlike the US, the police are specifically told not to engage in high speed pursuits for minor offenses like petty theft or even purse snatching.

Really🤔

If you say so.

you can get pretty accurate by starting with a small (3mm or so) masonry bit, (they don't wander as readily as bigger ones) then gradually enlarging the hole to your desired size, but it still may not be accurate enough.

 

Using the holes drilled in the metal extrusion as a template🧐

Quite true but how many DIYers have a centre punch in their  toolkit?

Then he should go to, say, Mr. DIY and buy one.🧐🙂

OR could use a masonry bit and the same hammer. 😉

If you use a percussion drill percussion drills always tend to move because of the vibration then this is what I do.

 

Frst I start without percusion and at slow speed to establish the correct location for the hole once I have a hole sufficient to allow the drill bit to be located that I then switch to percussion.

 

First I start with a centre punch to establish the correct location for the hole, then  

Drive by Bummings🤔 Isn't that the quick DIY pickup lane in Australia.

The bike rider is partly at fault because he was going way too fast on that road (almost certainly over the speed limit),

Again, What is/was the posted limit🤫.  Regardless of the speed, the car pulled across the road into the path of another road user. One could argue that had the car been going faster he/she would have completed the maneuvre before the bike got there.

Drill holes and use screws where the extrusion touches the wall. Fill the gaps where it doesn't with grout/sealant.

OR contour a 2cm piece of wood to take up the 1cm      gap. https://www.familyhandyman.com/project/how-to-scribe-for-a-perfect-fit/

Secure extrusion to wall through the wood.

some fault needs to be given to the bike who from the looks of it was well over the posted speed limit. 

What is/was the posted limit? 80 kph in most towns, even central Bangkok,  unless posted.

Again, down to the police and their total lack of enforcement.  Repeating myself but anyone familiar with the crossing at Nana? The intersection between Sukhumvit Road and Soi's 3 & 4?

 

I was hit there a few years back, a foreign couple were killed there,  there is a 'green man' light and the traffic, mainly taxis, ignore it all day long, right in front of a manned police box. What really got to me was that in my case, the copper did actually come out of his box, not to assist me - he wanted to arrest me for dragging the taxi driver out of his car!! Not a word said to the taxi driver.

 

One could ask why there is a 'public outcry' about this incident when the same probably happens scores of times every day in Bangkok - its par for the course.

As above in part of my post which no one seems to understand 

• Do not assume that a green traffic signal means you can cross the road safely. Look right and left to check that all vehicles have come to a stop, as not every driver will obey the rules.

I doubt whether the DC is çonverted back' to AC to run the compressor.

Yes, could be a pulse-width modulated DC motor. I have heard model trains use those.

I think a brushless DC motor would be too expensive but I don't know for sure.

How do you force a mango tree to fruit?

A Philippine horticulturist discovered that an application of potassium nitrate induces the mango to flower. Chemical forcing early in the flowering season doubles or triples the rate of fruit production per mango tree and produces larger fruit. It can also allow some trees to fruit twice during a single year.

He's the same brother. Just ignore it and carry on as usual. He hasn't mentioned it before?

If he mentions it well. then address it with understanding.
