I check a while ago.. YES Air make the meter run switched on the tap to fill the pond, nothing came out I left it on about 30 mins later still nothing so wondered if someone had turned the stop cock off so went out to see, the meter was flying round, yet no water so must have been air making the meter spin The Pond and garden hose connects direct, not to house/tank pump [turn the in line tap off to the house ] when using garden water so better pressure , so nothing was being used and no water = paying for Air

if I remember it was 1.2xxx + had a big monitor 14" and came with a OS Windows 3.1, an Engineer changed the HDD to a big one back in the day and installed Windows 95, thought it could never get any better. Tiny Computers had gone out of Business 5 years later getting so used to everything in this day and age being TB job to remember MB/GB/TB sizes

Did look but cannot justify paying ฿45,900.00 for a new one even a second hand one cost 20,000 + odd baht @ https://www.mac2hand.com/ + then try to learn to use it at my age. From what I could tell the M1 was the Intel version, discontinued long ago, there own 'ARM' CPU = M2 and M3 are far better and so is the price

No a good friend worked for Fairchild so was given a box, i mean a box + tiny monitor on top, as for HDD ha ha was a 8" floppy + a book of code.. just messed about with it, forever getting the code wrong so odd things came up.. I did get a game to play took a long time + needed many big floppy disks just to play a game I bought from a shop AMD in 1995 came with HDD of 1.3 GB swapped it a year latter with then a Large HDD of 3.4 GB + had a normal 5" floppy disk, did not even have a land line so no internet back then How times have changed in only 30 odd years

Don't know anything about Intel.. 35 odd years Every PC and Laptops I've had were AMD

Many thanks See some with 'Dual Gigabit Ethernet '

Question about the Mini PC what is the direct connected Ethernet speed, I ask because on the TV box [Android 10] it is low 100 mbps max I have always got speeds of 960 - 980 Mpbs connection on my Desktop will I get this on a Mini PC ? Thinking about a Mini PC, AMD Ryzen 7 5800H or AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS, or stick with a New Desktop Ryzen 5 7600 or 8500 all around the same price range.? My AMD FX built just before the floods, is very old, needs replacing

Someone in the Village has just had Solar installed https://www.solartech-center.co.th/solar-day/ No idea ? looks interesting

Desktop CPU New this year in Thailand https://www.advice.co.th/branch-a012/index.php/product/productdetail/A0157962

Everything I have had over the years from HP has been rubbish, sending to the Service Centre would have to wait months + returned the same not working and so it went on until the warrantee ran out

I have always built my own Desktop, [many in the past 30+ years] problem is now a day getting old + eyes not what they used to be I will buy all the items I want, take them to a little shop and have them assemble it, cost 300 - 500 baht... The problem with ready built is mostly built with parts I have no idea about or had problems with in the past would never buy.. + already have a decent Graphics card

My Partner has a Acer Laptop, still on XP it is very old and tired/slow but was a daily heavily used for 13 years for work mostly never a problem.. last couple of years uses a Tablet so laptop is in junk room My very expensive Sony Laptop lasted 14 years, so thinks the Acer did very well. Myself have a Acer Curved 32" Monitor a good few years also still perfect

Red Meat eating is not related to Diabetic problems but CHD as is no dairy products red meat intake is associated with increased risk for progression of CKD. Diets high in animal protein from meats and dairy products can cause kidney damage because they can be very hard to metabolize. This places a heavy burden on the kidneys, making it hard for them to eliminate waste products. a older UK friend Diabetic followed for many years the Atkins diet = lots of meat and fat, made me sick looking at what he ate, but it appeared to work for him [lived most of my life overseas so mostly ate the Mediterranean diet]

trying to follow a health lifestyle gets confusing Diabetic since Feb 1991 [at that time Dr said I could have been diabetic for many years before this] as very high BS + very high BP So so control on healthy lifestyle + Med's for years 2015 very bad = ER - outcome was Stage 5 CKD. worked hard on lifestyle change No Salt, No Red Meat No Diet drinks = down to between stage 2 and 3 for a few years about October last year things not right, Dr added Vitamins of all kinds... Last Friday not good on my normal 90 day Dr Visit, Low BP + Low BS + Stage 4 CKD ! extra blood tests ordered = will get full result this Friday [Little Village Hospital so for extra test blood must go to big Hospital] Low Red Blood Cell Count !! appears healthily eating not correct ? looking on web eat more Red Meat ?? the odd thing is Dr said do not take any more Vitamin B12, yet web shows many different places and Countries to increases Vitamin B12 ?? gets confusing Dr also told me to drink a glass of milk a day.... years ago told no dairy products !!

Thanks Yes about 4 years ago at a Hospital was told about 300k to start + around 300k per year for ongoing supplies So guess while still able will finger prick + do my own 2 twice daily Insulin injection, there are 2 old people in the Village that cannot manage to self inject, the one man 95 his Son goes there every day, the Son and Grandson both Diabetic, the other Lady in her 80s the daughter moved into the house about 4 years ago so she is looked after 24/7 as well as is another Daughter living there [in wheelchair] also cannot manage, the Injections

Still cannot work out what these are.. Just automatic blood testing only ? or are they AID systems, also known as hybrid closed loop systems, can detect changes in a person’s sugar levels in real time and automatically adjust insulin doses in response. ? last time I asked here in Thailand they were very expensive + the on going cost every 10 - 14 days

frequent urination, like running to toilet all the time, rarely making it an hour in-between, even during the night, been there but is good = kidney's are working and flushing out the bad stuff, worrying is a small amount 2 or 3 times a day, last hospital visit had gone from stage 2 to stage 4 CKD, WHY have no idea, last time this happened was 2015, went to stage 5 CKD and could not pee at all. in Hospital 5 days, still keep to same diet No Salt, No diet drinks, only drink water, Red Meat no more than 2 x week.. would love to go back to running to toilet all the time,

Not all Diabetes are the same I know a good few Thai Diabetics, very few are over weight, some are so thin stick men and woman and still use insulin every day, think maybe there not that many type 2, or not that I know

So many things a small Village Hospital do not stock, wonder if the Dr remembers what they wrote to get from a Pharmacy outside + NO record on Hospital file Dr said get from a Pharmacy outside as Hospital no have ‘Dermatix’ wound care cream + cover with DuoDERM patch.. {appear to have Allage to glue on Patches ?} Have also tried 3M waterproof patches as much cheaper still have problem with the glue Also from Pharmacy out as Hospital no have Antibiotics [non Penicillin]

Has been well under control for years a few posts ago clearly states insulin 70/30 Mix 30 units Breakfast. + 20 units Evening Meal Adjust dosage according to blood test reading….. Metformine 850 mg 1 x Breakfast. + 1 x Evening Meal Diabetic Lada since 1991 --------- CKD since 2015

Near Sai Noi, use since Covid Sai Noi Hospital. The Dr I normal see said she is moving on, she did ask if I want the April Appointment or go back to BKK Red Cross..so this next Visit will be another Dr.. Biggest problem is the very limited stock they hold.... they do have Computers now and my Prescription, many pill I have I have to cut in halve as they only stock one type and MGs... The other problem is if I need something they do not have the Dr writes it on a bit of paper to take to a outside Pharmacy.. That is good, but of course it is NOT in the Computer or on Hospital Files. = will take all meds to New Dr.. The Red Cross Hospital = 5 outside patients per day the rest if IN + ward patients San Noi Hospital see 30 - 50 per day, how can a Dr remember what she asked me to get form a outside Pharmacy 90 days before. So will see this New Dr next week, then think about the very long trip back again to Red Cross.

Yes will do thank you Something no idea about Since 2020 + changing to local Village Hospital my meds have been changed a lot + get given more and more Vitamins is this needed + could this be a problem ? Present Dr Prescription + issued by Hospital Pharmacy Insulin 70/30 Mix 30 units Breakfast. + 20 units Evening Meal Adjust dosage according to blood test reading….. Metformine 850 mg 1 x Breakfast. + 1 x Evening Meal Diabetic Lada since 1991 --------- CKD since 2015 Vitamin D 2 20000U 1x week morning Vitamin B CO ED 2 x day Vitamin B 1- 6 1 x day morning Vitamin B 6 - 12 3 x a day Vitamin A 25,000U 1 x a day Evening Omega-3 Fish Oil 1000 mg 1x day morning Vitamin B 12 500mg Evening 3 x week calcium carbonate 1500 mg 1x day morning Calatab 1500 MG 1 x Breakfast Oemeprazole 20 MG with Breakfast hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg Evening [often miss as BP low] Dozozin 2 MG 1 x Evening LO sar tan 40 MG 1x Cut in halve Morning [miss if BP to low] Bestatin 20 MG 1 x cut in halve Evening Gabapentin 300 mg 1 x before bed 81 MG Aspirin 1 x mornings

No it is on my higher back Shoulder blade high Did have one at the base of my spine in my 20's, had to have it drained in Hospital then a week or so only sit on a donut cushion

tried that. take 5 days Antibiotic + change the dressing every day should be gone within 7 - 10 days.. oddly every 90 day Diabetic Appointment the Dr always want to look to see if it has healed , but after so long [18 months next week] cannot work out why there is not another option..
