It rather depends on where you were living half a century ago ????

That is a rather interesting complaint as of the 3 ball-peen hammers I have it is the lightest that has had the most use over the years (as you can see) so I would consider it a good thing. as you may note I have a seriously heavy one if I need it

The 70% is absolutely not Apple revenue. It is only the 30% that is Apple revenue and that is gross the costs involved are unlikely to be as low as 4%~5% of the total charged to the customer, so the Apple net is going to be in the same region as the hardware net, isn’t it?

Is it? The apple cut is 30% but that is gross and it is unlikely that the operating expenses are as low as to make the net similar or lower than the hardware.

I think the margin is a bit more than that but you forgot to add in the software development costs.

Why do you think you can’t?

Since there is no need for a thermal break incorporated into the UPVC frame, even if there is actually a steel frame within, mine AFIK don’t have a steel frame, the frame is quite an area and though the glass of a glass door will be a high percentage of heat transfer aluminium frames (unless polished silver to reflect heat) will transfer very much more than a good UPVC one. (400 ~ 800 times more) Will the heat transfer be a very significant factor? Probably not. Will the heat transfer be Greatest with aluminium frames? Unquestionably. Aluminium is an extremely good transmitter of heat UPVC even worse than wood, a little research will show that UPVC IS 0.17 W/mC°, while aluminium is approximately 210 W/mC°. Or 1,235 times greater for an equivalent size of frame. Aluminium frames will be smaller possibly ⅓rd the size so only 411 x better at transmitting heat. thermal break aluminium window profiles may be available in Thailand I don’t know. Regular installations certainly don’t use them. No visible steel

No. You use the bitumen on aluminium backing tape squares over the screws or leak points this is an example of where a square is useful The sticky aluminium tape is cosmetic and is not required, however it stops the bitumen from leaking and getting messy like this.

The tape I am referring to is not rubber but bitumen on an aluminium backing. I have had it on a roof for about 15 years with no noticeable deterioration.

Governments have had little influence over my choices, none for the first 40 years of my usage, they have typically been late to the party. You are welcome to observe different levels of security, this is often how data breaches occur. _——————————————- you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink

That very much depends on where it’s being used as to if it is more effective, as to lasting longer that is not correct as the bitumen tape has lasted for decades with no deterioration, while paint is only good for a few years. And yes I have used both.

If money isn’t an object you can get the braided, stainless steel hoses often used in showers, you will need joining pieces.

This is another version of a wider roll, you can cut it into smaller sections. It has a wide range of uses and should often be used with the aluminium quickfix tape often used in aircraft maintenance.

Your mobile phone should be password protected. I don’t worry, I am just continuing to practice the data security that I have been observing personally and teaching for years in universities. As to forums, for people who are not gullible they are low risk but certainly not low risk, just ask the people who have been conned by compromised accounts. With e-mail you are so wrong it would almost be funny, many accounts have been diverted or taken over by intercepted password resets. You are absolutely entitled to use whatever password scheme (or none) that you like, if you think I am suggesting that you change, I miscommunicated. I take issue with the recommendation of such an insecure idea. Too many people loose too much by too little security.

Bank accounts, credit cards, passports, e-mail accounts, ID cards etc are just a random selection of data that I carry that are protected by secure passwords. I don’t have fear of data loss, I know it will happen eventually. But 1 compromised password will give no access to another account. The question is not, am I paranoid? The question is, am I paranoid enough? There are too many real world examples of sensible people being taken to the cleaners. It may never happen to you, if it does it can be anything from a minor inconvenience to a disaster.

That advice is incredibly insecure. If there is anything of value an interested party will probably have you device or account cracked in minutes if not seconds. My approach is to have about 3 passwords that I remember but all the other 700 use something like “sXqGQ3V.H2jQ8dkLd_mZ” I have no need to remember those as they are stored in 1Password so are secure behind one of the passwords I do remember. There are some sites and places that have no significant value but 1Password is so easy to use I have most of those protected anyway.

If the rebate is still in place that would make sense, though it would have changed since it was 92.04 stang and the ft rate is now 91.10, the sliding scale was between 301 and 500 units

I haven’t been able to find your answer but the previous announcement covered users up to 500 units These users account for 89% of household users nationwide and the discounts ranged from 95% to 15& of the Fuel Tariff, the amount was up to about ฿250 per month

While some may understand that the costs you quoted are in US$ a better indicator is under in Thai baht

There is also the seeming storage of data on a phone. This is a really really bad idea. Phones should never never be the primary storage. They break, they get lost, they get stolen, they fail. A phone should only ever be a temporary storage, you should always have your data in a safe storage location. there are those who backup data and there are those who haven’t lost important data yet.

There is the saying that if it looks too good to be true, it is. Nobody is going to discount a current model phone 30% and give you the same warranty or be precisely the same model. If it’s a discontinued model possibly, if it’s a grey market import possibly. You won’t have more than a 7 day guarantee.

I strongly suggest that you take the time to educate yourself on the different colours, heat rejection and suitable thicknesses for glass available, I did not and just relied on the advice we received, it wasn’t bad and I did have input into the final order but I might have selected differently with better education. TGSG did supply samples that were close to the final choice, the only differences being I did not want coloured (green) glass, and we went with 4mm + 0.38 PVB + 6mm low E on the clearstory windows.

I did they are. No it doesn’t, it sound like a Thai German company, something that is common in Thailand. had you gone tothe website you would have found this That suggests that he is far from knowledgeable about Thai glass, this is no detriment to him but it does show that he doesn’t know that the glass specification was only middle of the range available. He is certainly unaware that our doors had to be locally supplied as the cost and time involved in getting custom sized toughened panes imported would be horrendously long and expensive with no conceivable benefit.

Ceiling insulation is a very good idea, using spray PU foam is not, Spray PU foam has its place, it is however very expensive for the degree of insulation provided a roll of standard insulation either 200mm or better 400mm will be a fraction of the cost and more effective. There is absolutely no need or benefit of importing glass into Thailand as there are world class makers of glass domestically. I also very much doubt that the English Embassy in Laos (I had conversations with the person who was responsible for the contract) used imported glass. They certainly used security laminated glass probably in IGUs (I don’t remember if that was mentioned) and that would have been imported but from Thailand not Germany. The frames for the glass however was imported from Germany so that is probably where your confusion came from, together with the fact that the original negotiator is not with the same company today. The security glass is in fact at least 2 sheets one of which has heat protection if you choose (it is not automatically selected), it is more probably 3 sheets constructed as an IGU, and if you want the best sound reduction you should vary the thickness of the glass.

The rate ranges from almost zero to the maximum rate you specify. So for the users who pay the minimum and lower FT rates the difference is far from insignificant. For you 100 Baht extra per month is certainly insignificant, for those effected it is not.
