  1. Hi As a background to my question. There is a poster on another forum who is receiving his extension of stay in the south possibly, but unconfirmed, from Songkhla immigration office. He states that his renewal date (day, month) is 400 days after his current extension expired There is another user on the other forum who states that he was given 12 months after the under consideration period finished who is going to check with the immigration office, there is no more information from him yet. So my question is does anyone know of this situation, I haven’t heard of this before but I don’t monitor the forum closely? My understanding is that the renewal is always 1 year from the expiration of the current permission to stay if being renewed for the same reason. Both of the posters claiming more than 365 days are extending a marriage extension? I well understand that different immigration offices have different policies but this one was, I thought, set in stone so thought I was correct to question the truth of the initial claim. Is this a a Region 6 policy? Is it unique to a particular office? Is the change unique ?
  2. Search “tri-sim” phone many are 2g and 3G only so not very useful. since you can have 8 e-sims there is little point having 3 regular sims
  3. You can use them, however for them to be really effective you need a low humidity, in Thailand the humidity is virtually never low, so to be efficient you can run a dehumidifier or you AC on dehumidify. They work in the large indoor spaces where they are sold because they can’t run the humidity up much. in California where the humidity is under 20% they are great as they cool and introduce needed humidity
  4. The symptoms are precisely those of the power system being somewhat overloaded. It isn’t just you that is being affected, don’t believe any suggestion that it’s unique to your apartment. The condo technician isn’t checking because he as nothing better to do, there is a known problem. There are inexpensive volt ameters and there are slightly more expensive ones that are easy to fit and going up in price there are versions that will record the data. I suggest that you invest a little because then you can see in real time how much the voltage is being pulled down and the amps drawn to drop the voltage. When you have proof that the voltage is being pulled down (video of the meter) it is more difficult for the condo to claim that there is no problem. My air compressor will drop the voltage enough to cause the lights to flicker, this isn’t a problem for me as it’s daytime use
  5. Use an ammeter and then you can report, note every AC make will be different.
  6. From WEBMD That is the broad overview However what you want to do with a product that has been generally determined it be at best of questionable use and for some uses positively detrimental is not my business, you may have some innocuous use. As has been pointed out, the power supply is the wrong tool for your job, it has circuitry that stops it delivering the amount of power that your setup can draw. If you go with the 2 car batteries be sure that you can break the circuit before the jar overheats. You are likely to find that the power draw is dramatically greater than you have seen before and that you were limited by the batteries sustained power draw.
  7. While you actually connected them in series rather than parallel, that isn’t a problem other than explaining your actual meaning. Also making colloidal silver is a rather interesting idea that many disagree with. However your power supply is far less than is needed to power the reaction. The voltage maybe high enough but the current at 3A (and that is a maximum probably 1.5A constant) isn’t enough. To discover how much current is being used you need an ammeter on the full power batteries. It is possible that if you leave the supply connected for days you may get the result you expect in minutes. 😉
  8. A yellow book and pink card are often accepted, they have been for the last 6 years for my licenses.
  9. If renewing both licenses the majority of DLT offices accept photo copies for the second license, this includes certificate of residence and every other document. However TIT so it is certainly possible for a particular office to require originals so no one persons experience is any guarantee that your experience will be the same.
  10. Until the reviews come in with different specifications of machines this is rather hard to be definitive about, this is due, among other things, to ram configurations and power to drive a bigger display. I don’t say that you are not correct for 2 specific machines but what is true for those may be rather different for 2 different machines, for an example the 512 M1 was very close to the 512 M2 due to 2 x 256 on the M1 and 1 x 512 on the M2 but compare the 512 M1 to the 1Gb M2 and the difference was very significant. In any event the jump from a 2012 to any M series will be huge
  11. The order date is not yet confirmed in Thailand as you know. The fastest way to obtain one will be by going to one of the two Apple stores in Bangkok, they will have supplies available for purchase as soon as they are released in Thailand. It isn’t certain that you will be able to get one on release day as it will depend on stock, you may be able to order one through the Apple website for immediate collection on release day
  12. The availability of products in Thailand is extremely difficult to predict. Historically it has varied between a couple of weeks and several months. This has often been a blessing in disguise as the review sites have been able to get more in-depth information available before you are able to purchase. One of the rather critical points was the difference in number and capacity of ram chips, the M1 used smaller chips than the M2 this meant that for the lower end machines the M1 was better than the M2. This information was not available at realise time. So to gain the speed boost of the M2 chip you had to get the higher speck machine to get the parallel read write performance the M2 was capable of. This is a boost I appreciate everyday where the performance would have been hobbled with a lower ram machine.
  13. The mothball is not a good idea as the volatiles could well attack the circuitry and components. What works is the ant powder. I now add some to virtually all light fittings and sockets and its lasts forever, the mothballs will need to be replaced, probably annually. Not to mention that the mothballs are large.
  14. A common problem with electrics and electronics are insects usually ants. So a disassembly and cleaning is often the cure. It is possible that desiccation of corpses could have allowed the switch to function again.
  15. I have no knowledge of your political interests Trump can protect his interests by posting the 350 ~ 460 million bond if he doesn’t, and he has just lost the claim to post a 100 million partial bond, then the judgement is going to be collected. However the state has no obligation to put him into the position he was in before the judgement was collected if they get reversed. as an example, say trump tower is seized and sold for a fire sale price of 300 million and 40 Wall Street brings in the balance so total 460 million and the proceeds given to NY state. Trump wins (he can’t but we allow the fantasy) the cash 460 million is returned to him but the buildings remain sold. as I said his only way to protect the properties is to post the 460 million bond
  16. They do if he is elected. or if the judgment reversed on appeal. Well any appeal is going to be at least 1 year out before it’s heard and by that time the majority judgement will have been collected. Any possible election success has zero effect on state judgement. Any state judgements will not/can not be stopped by possible federal election success. The only way to stop the clocks are by DJT finding a total of roughly 460 million as a bond and he claims he only has 100 million. He is desperate trying to find a way but needs another 360 million to stop the clock, that is the only way to do it. It would change the whole ball game and accommodations will be made for the good of the country That is a nice thought.
  17. Your 3 choices are not really correct 1) delay, yes but the clocks are not stopping. 2) win the appeal, well yes he could but by then he will have no money left. He doesn’t have the $460 million to stop collection of the judgement, so the judgement is going to be collected starting in about 25 days. 3) get elected president, that is not going to stop New York State collecting the money. As president he has no power over the state court judgement. He has power over federal courts but not state courts He has said he only has 100 million in cash and liquid assets, it is extremely unlikely that the court will grant a stay on collection without him posting the full $460 million. So his only chance is to start liquidating assets or find an actual rich man who will give him the money
  18. It isn’t the only solution. if the shoe is dampening the noise enough to be acceptable there is at least 1 more action that has a good chance of working. The top cover is clearly resonating without a dampening object on it. That cover is also clearly easily removable. Assuming that the items under that cover are not tight against it (this is a reasonable assumption) then you get some closed cell foam sheet, this material is reasonably easy to source if you go to a foam supplier (I know of 1 in Udon) using spray adhesive stick that to the underside of the top panel, this will both stop the resonating noise and provide a small amount of damping. I used this idea to quiet a compressor and the sound reduction was significant If there is still an uncomfortable noise report back. The benefit of this is that it will be invisible
  19. You seem to have a few misunderstandings. There is no international license There are a couple of different IDPs (international driving permits) The different IDPs are a translation of the limits of your license into different languages An IDP has no validity without the license it is based on, you need both. An IDP is valid for all countries that have signed the treaty on which it is based An IDP itself is valid for between 1 and 3 years. The IDP usually is only valid for 90 days from entry into a country irrespective of the validity of the IDP itself In Thailand while the police will usually ignore the 90 day limit your insurance company probably will not as the insurance is only valid after 90 days if you are driving with a Thai license, so if you want to drive uninsured don’t get a Thai license. Are you going to have problems? This will depend on luck with avoiding a serious accident. Is this insurance limitation a problem in other countries? You will need to be intimately familiar with your insurance policy to know the answer.
  20. There is no stay of the judgement yet you are totally misunderstanding the facts of that notice until supersedeas bond of $450 million is posted they CAN NOT stop the collection of the judgement they are as I said desperately appealing everything An appeal with no supersedeas bond is extraordinary unusual because without the bond all the money due will be able to be collected in a little over 4 weeks. The appeal will still be heard but trumps property can be sold. There are many possible, and frankly ridiculous, appeal briefs that can be posted. But no $450 million supersedeas appeal bond, no stay of collection of the judgement tick tick tick, the days are counting down the clock has not been stopped.
  21. Let me know if you decide to try a fix yourself and I’ll elaborate.
  22. That is exactly what I said. And the title of the post is false. He has not posted the appeal bond. To go to the appeal the judgment he must post an appeal bond of about $480 million that is going to be required within 30~40 days from the judgment being posted. He is making various attempts to fight the decision and challenge judge Engoron however none of that has stopped the clock. He also has to post an appeal bond of about $90 million in the E. Jean Carroll 2 case in about 2 weeks time and the attempt to stop that clock has failed The various news articles are confused about titles. There are various appeals most or all are frivolous or stand no chance of success However to appeal the judgements he must put in escrow E. Jean Carroll 1) over 5 million paid, on appeal E. Jean Carroll 2) over 85 million not paid due in about 2 weeks not on appeal yet Civil fraud case over 450 million not paid due in about 4~6 weeks not on appeal yet the numbers are about 110% of the judgment amounts
  23. You clearly do not understand NY law, and yes it is complex. No I am not a NY lawyer but I can read and understand those who are. To appeal the judgment DJT must post an appeal bond of approximately $480 million dollars. He has not done that His councils are desperately trying to avoid him having to post the appeal bond, they are not successful yet. They may extend the deadline from 30 days by 10 days. There is no suggestion that they will be able to delay the actual posting of the bond by any significant time.
  24. The title is incorrect. Trump has not appealed. To appeal he must post around $480 million. He has a little less than 30 days to appeal He is fighting to reduce or eliminate the bond, it is unlikely that he will be successful and the appeal clock is ticking down. So he will have to either post the bond to appeal or accept the judgment.
  25. Don’t you mean you are waiting for the other shoe to drop?
