Russian Neighbour Using My YouTube
sometimewoodworker replied to Neeranam's topic in IT and Computers
Not really Was the point I was addressing, something like this shows that a free Mac OS program doesn’t have the drawback you mentioned. As I don’t do Android, only run windows for one layout program, and don’t get involved with flavours of unix/linix other than as Mac OS I can’t comment without a lot of work I don’t intend to do, as I already know the information is available but likely something the OP won’t use -
As has been said you need to understand your insurance. The examples under are from mine. As you can see you must notify the insurer of all incidents Margaret has Option B cover with an excess of £100. Her policy runs from 1 March each year. In July, she is referred to a specialist and her claim is approved by us. The specialist charges her £80. This is her first treatment in this year. As she has an excess of £100, she will need to pay this invoice herself, and send the invoice to us so that we can take this into account when paying any further claims this year. She has two further consultations in August and September, and the specialist charges £80 each time. We will pay £140 towards the cost of these charges. We will then write to Margaret to advise her that she needs to pay the remaining £20, because of the outstanding amount on her excess. In October, Margaret is referred to a specialist for a different medical condition, and sends us an invoice for a further £80. As the excess is applied to each person on the policy each year, and not to each medical condition, we will pay this invoice in full. Mary has Option C cover with an excess of £250. Her renewal date is 1 June. In January, she injures her ankle and is referred to a physiotherapist. She has ten sessions of physiotherapy at a cost of £45 per session, and sends the invoices to us. Initially, we apply the benefit limits of her plan, which allows up to £190 per year for complementary treatment. This means that £190 of the £450 treatment costs is eligible for benefits. However, as Mary also has an excess of £250 on her policy, we will then deduct the £190 from the excess, so we will not be liable for any of the costs. Mary will need to pay £450 herself and she will have £60 remaining on her excess. The following shows what would have been payable had no excess been chosen, together with the amount payable with the excess. No Excess £250 Excess £ £ Total of Invoices 450.00 450.00 Benefit available 190.00 190.00 Excess deductible 0.00 190.00 Amount payable by us 190.00 0.00 Amount payable by Mary 260.00 450.00 Any further invoices are still subject to the remaining excess amount of £60 being deducted from the amounts claimable for the year. She has also used all of her complementary treatment benefit until her next renewal date.

FWIW the Srinagarind Hospital that is closely allied to the Faculty of Medicine, of Khon Kaen University has given a ball park figure of 100,000 -> 120,000 the surgeon was excellent at communicating, and easy to understand. I was scheduled for the 9th but since I just caught a cold it has been postponed for 10 days. One reason for the extreme cost difference is that unlike Bangkok hospital that charges 26,000 per night they charge under 4,000 I well update when there is something to report.

If you are using iOS then that is why you don’t have the MAC addresses Mac OS or one of the others can give you that. -

If you know what you are doing adding a second router is very much safer than just adding a really strong password but you need to understand how to add the second router and the configuration. -
It is true that you need multiple top ups with AIS however that’s not very difficult to do. I have kept my number for the last 30 years for most of which I was coming to Thailand in two or three trips a year. Now that I’m here permanently, all I do is have a 20 Baht per month top up, set in my banking app, and that keeps the validity to a year for. Initially you do the number of top ups that allow the maximum time.

Looking for dewalt or Bosch reciprocating saw bkk

Sure the OP is unlikely to be assisted but others can be helped by knowing of a supplier of genuine quality tools, many look for information other than than the OP. -

Since, in general, IP addressing is dynamic that usually isn’t a useful tactic, however you almost certainly meant to block the MAC address, though that is easily circumvented by a moderately competent user as they can change or spoof the MAC address, it will deter a non tech savvy user. -
An EPS can be a standby generator however it doesn’t need to be. The EPS I have is an APC and battery powered UPS. it is designed to supply power to 1050W of draw or 4.7A it can supply this load indefinitely only subject to sufficient battery power being available. The minimum suggested supply is 12V x 50Ah X 2 deep cycle. You can add batteries for a longer run time or a generator if you prefer

Sugars are part of the brewing process, but you only add refined sugar if you want to increase the alcohol content over the amount naturally occurring or you are making a beer adjacent product, certain Anheuser-Busch offerings may qualify ;) That will be because the brewmaster stopped the fermentation. With my beer I always brewed until the sugars were all gone even if I was producing a high alcohol (12%+) beer, I needed to add ½ a teaspoon of sugar per quart for the carbonation fermentation.

There seems to be a rather confused interpretation of what a DTA actually means. It doesn’t mean that if you are taxed in one country that you are exempt from tax in another. What it does mean is that the tax payed in one country is off set against the tax liability in the second country. Some countries have negotiated that certain types of income are exempt from taxation in Thailand. One example, The U. K. has negotiated a tax free allowance for capital gains. So if your Thai tax liability is greater than the tax you paid in your other country you must pay the difference. If your Thai tax liability is smaller than the tax you paid in your other country you pay nothing. Calculations for tax are always done using the rules applicable in that country so any tax reduction strategies are only valid in the country that is assessing your liability

You clearly don’t know that there are versions that will power your equipment for hours, I have one. You choose the battery power you want and the output power.

Reference books are ones I will never let go & I have a few, there is no reason for getting rid of them. Other books are rather different and I have got rid of a some when I moved and only have about a dozen now. That is the first hardcover book I bought with my own money at about the age of 11 AFIR I paid for it with the proceeds of working on one of the Beetles movies, so it has immense value to me.

The first is an eye splice, the second a back splice, likely you may not know the terminology. I have been practicing rope work as a hobby for about 60 years so should know a little bit about the subject, this is the bible and my copy is about 60 years old it cost 84s when I bought it. Current US price $86

In my younger days I would have tackled that with a 9” chainsaw and climbing up it. I wouldn’t have used a cherry picker just cut it from the top down. While it would take a bit more time you can cut smaller sections and with a long enough rope you can avoid dropping them onto anything that is too easily damaged

Yes. That system is designed to allow as much capacity as you want, just add more batteries or bigger ones, they are also deep cycle batteries. Sealed Lead Acid Both of my units can do exactly that Yes, it is classed as an EPS rather than a UPS though it does the same job just better and virtually infinitely expandable. You can find them on Lazada, don’t get one that is too big as you can always add to the system NB don’t believe Diddly he clearly doesn’t know what he is talking about The cost of an EPS is roughly similar to a UPS it’s just better if you want serious long time battery usage and don’t mind the industrial looks of them.

The initial V cut should have the bottom virtually horizontal with the upper at about a 20~30 degree angle. The intersecting cut should also be nearly horizontal aimed to reach a little above the base of the initial cut. Felling a tree using a cut as high as you suggest is something best left to a professional. Of the many hundreds of trees I have felled (and seen felled) over the years I have never cut anywhere near the hight you suggest, I don’t say you shouldn’t leave the stump that high just that is a more difficult job.

While the rope you illustrate is certainly strong enough for the job, it’s breaking strength is about 3,000 kg depending on its construction, it is rope laid rope rather than cable laid rope. The problems you will have are 1st fastening it, you will need at least 1 eye splice and a thimble would probably be a good idea, but more importantly you will have to tension it and be able to re-tension it when it sags and tying knots in that size of rope needs you to know what you are doing. The 18mm rope is far better for the job and much easier to use, it’s breaking strain is about 2,000kg As to price you are looking in the wrong places, a ship chandler will probably sell by the kg not metre and will likely be a fraction of the price you are looking at. For hanging clothes you can certainly use rope but it isn’t good for the job SS or galvanised pole will do that job far better and at less ultimate cost, they will not need constant re-tensioning and are virtually unaffected by being outside in the sun and rain, though 2 metre lengths are the ideal. To tension (and maintain tension) on a 15 metre line is going to put a rather large strain on your posts and once you start hanging clothes on it, unless your posts are much stronger than I suspect they are, due to simple physics you are going to be adding a very significant load. I haven’t researched the exact information but on a stretched rope of 15 metres the strain on the poles is going to be large, probably tens if not hundreds of kg and once you load up your washing you have to multiply the weight of each item by a very large factor due to simple physics. https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/rope-angle-tension-increase-d_1507.html If you study square rigged ships, they have miles of rigging, you will never find a long horizontal rope with weight on the centre. I did look in the bible of knotting but couldn’t find an illustration of the forces involved but it’s possible that your weight in the centre of a stretched 15 metre line will be sufficient to break the rope and will almost certainly bend the steel poles if they are not solid and at least 50mm+ in diameter. So in short, don’t try it as a long clothes line. It’s good for your other purposes. FWIW Manila and Hemp are synonymous https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/manila-rope-strength-d_1512.html

A hemp B hemp C it depends less stretch, hemp. More stretch nylon anchor cable D depends on diameter but hemp is good E depends on diameter but hemp is good carbon fibre is probably the best F hemp has little G nylon anchor cable is probably the best H hemp has good strength to weight when dry I again hemp is good, it’s often used for towing and anchor cables Hemp is available on Lazada but you really want at least a ⅓ rope and that is difficult to find I have found 8mm & 10mm but again you have to look hard for that You probably want a ships chandler to get a reasonable selection and I haven’t had a need to find one, probably in Khlong Toay. You don’t want a yacht chandler as they probably won’t carry hemp There are a large number of fibres that are used for rope making, that hemp has been in use for hundreds of years tells a tale. i have a reasonable variety of them and have been doing knotting and rope work for 60 years and have taught adult outdoor camping staff leaders the few knots needed. FWIW from the picture shown it is likely to be a cotton rope that was used though it doesn’t give enough definition to be other than a guess EDIT I did find 18mm and that is probably ok

No, they are both good.

Using a 4 outlet USB hub for charging
sometimewoodworker replied to Kenny202's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
There is no reason not to use a multi-outlet car charger, I have a couple, however there is a limit to the amount of power that can be delivered, I have one similar to this though it as 2 USB C outlets and 2 USB A -
It’s only within the limit if declared to the airline and that depends on the airline rules, some are OK at check-in others require permission before that.
