Off topic comment You know there are already islands getting smaller due to rise of sealevel 2 big, maybe more, cities face problems, not only excessive rain fall and sinking, but as well rise of sealevel is a factor And you can read "some pieces" broke off from Antarctica and continues. Will the earth flip when Antarctica fades away? "There is a 140-year-old theory which predicts that Earth tilts in response to changes in the distribution of weight on its surface, such as the shifting continents."

Maybe now also Thailand started on working global climate. Cows are producing methane and thats not good, so kill the cows. "My"country is also busy getting cows out, due to nitrogen, they also produce. It effects nature in bad they say and therefor, bye bye cow. But dont know what to do with the country yet, as we are below sea level and sea level rises. A scenario is, we move and live in another country, as most of the country will be flooded. Whining about the cows, but no action on rise and South pole is melting very quick. Because we have so many cows, we can not even built new houses. Long live USE.

Have been always a nose breathing sleeper, until i woke up with dry mouth, stating something changed. Always slept on belly, changed position to side, but didnt work. I also clean out my nose with watering it and blow out every evening before going to bed. I also started putting a glas of water beside bed in the beginning for a week, but .. Went to hospital, test with event recorder on breathing while sleeping. It came up with way over 40 ( critical stops?) stops of breathing while sleeping. Sleeping apneu. I had to think about once had a woman sleeping with me and she told me about my breathing, breath was long out and not more in until kicking in, and that was already 12 years before dry mouth event. Trying to remind how it was before dry mouth, It already could have affected my body in time. I remember I could fall asleep at work, but blamed on going to bed late. So it developed?! It left me to sleep with a CPAP, do it now already 10 years. Especially in beginning it is a crime and sometimes even nowadays, when sometimes the mask starts with a leak, you have to fit it right then. Dont put it away as you will not like it, force, teach yourself to sleep with the damn thing. It is your friend but also your enemy. They both go with me, every where, 555. Also a crime you have to carry it with you and it goes to Thailand when im there. I do have a mustache but it is not really negative effecting the mask. As mask i have a nose mask and thats fine, works. Can have every year a new mask from health insurance, but the mask can last longer. They are also pricy, as i said i dont have to pay for it, but started first to do so, as i wanted a spare mask, in case of a problem. So try & error noticed i can sleep easily with it for 3 years. Then i changed. Of course cleaning is important, also the mask band. Also rinse the hose from time to time Have forced myself to sleep with it, but it stopped my non breathing while sleeping. Waking up again with mouth closed. That is instantly already a victory. I was really pleased then from first moment, waking up again with mouth closed. Every time you stop breathing, your body kicks in on getting air when level oxygen gets crucial. It is the same while swimming under water and come up to get air. You dont know, your sleep is disturbed and can give your body all kinds of other dysfunctions. You notice first on being tired, logically as your body has to work to get air and oxygen in your body system, while you should be resting. If you do have sleep apneu, taping your mouth is absolutely not a good idea, as your body says "need oxygen" and now you block it. Your mouth is going open to get oxygen in ! Your body is crying out for oxygen. I see in your event writing the same thing as how i started. However never taped my mouth. I have a Resmed 10 since beginning, good device. I checked on prices and saw Lazada had them, costing 23000 baht to way up higher, but they are also selling second hand in lazada i see, so 23000 baht is probably a used one. So sold again as people gave up. I dont think it is an option, as bad breathing in sleep will effect your body functions. If you search on cpap, i even see a complete set of BMC, for 19900, all in one. Of course there are more machines and all with a price tag. In euro's it would be 657 euro. In "my" country once saw them doing 1000 euro, but in Belgium they were doing 500- ish euro. That is only the machine, mask , hose , filters all separately. Price also depending on an extra with machine, heated moisturizing tank. Once had it and used, but you have to clean it well and too much, so stopped with it and indeed dont need it. Not even in a airco room, as moist get less then. Also heated hose, dont need it. It seems possible to have condens in hose, Ive never seen it. Filter on machine, I do clean that and use longer, though i get new ones for free. On the mask there is an outlet pressure regulator filter, you need to clean. It shows up after time with black spots on the tiny outlet holes. It is normal, as it is, tiny parts in the air you breath in. I was first thinking the machine would (breaking down plastic) do that and had contact with Resmed about that and they explained. They dont recommend any cleaning on that with chemical, however I do use bleach to clean and then rinse very well. No problem. Even told them. I use an Eson 2 nose mask. Also asked how should i clean machine internal, you dont. There were people cleaning with hydrogen peroxide, but showed up not to be a good idea. Thats why Philips had problems with their machines, what i red. The hose, you have them with plastic connections and silicon connections. Once had the plastic and then they changed giving me the silicon. They said plastic was out, but later again different. I used the silicon and then you have to adjust again to them, as they were different in action. The plastic ones give you way more comfort, silicon is heavier and more annoying. I noticed when they changed. Ok you get used to it eventually again. However I returned to plastic ones. Well these were my apneu, dry mouth experiences for the past 20 year. So try to find out if you have apneu, or begin to use the machine and DONT give up. If you have apneu and showing now by dry mouth, you dont really now how long you have it and you still could cope, as probably i did. First time waking up with no dry mouth feeling better is already heaven. You will get used to it. The Resmed doesnt make that much sound, investigate on decibels with other machines. Dont tape your mouth ! You are trying to kill yourself.

OK spreaded to Thailand. In "my"country same thing as "banks" calling. They have the logo, phone number shown as bank number. They know a lot about your bank account and your personal things to make you believe it. I believe indeed also download an app and then money gone from bank account. So never go into that, hang up and call your bank or in this case landoffice yourself, of course not redial.

It is what my Thai wife told me. I assume she knows. However did some (long time ago) reading about this too. Also if your skin is too brown, your chances get less. Thai "upper class" (maybe aswell the "lower class") men want young and snow white but not always Thai ( bad behavior, as i understood) man is appreciated. You cant always get what you want. However you are young Thai woman and be as white possible, the bigger the chances for a "good Thai man". For a (Thai) man it is not so much the issue, you are super brown or older, but have money, no problem. 555 It is for the Thai man to see you and the uc Thai man likes white. In Nigeria, the woman from time to time makes a fight. The man should hit her and if he does, then he loves her. Incredible, but was showed in a documentary. How cultures differ. Also as a Nigerian married man, you are not allowed to work. The woman needs to do all the working?! Have a Turkish woman, they are first slim and when married gets thicker and thicker. So that shows the husband is taking good care of her. OK it is a culture. In India the woman has to pay a "simsod" and man can later on even ask for more. In China now, women have them selves completely rebuilt. They even have their legs cut and stretched. All to look more western and therefor have more changes in jobs and relations. I would never "have" a snow white Thai, too much problems then. Sometimes my wife already has an issue when the sun is touching her skin. See the many dating sites on Asian where they do try to find someone. Then when not being married for that time, they dig in on work and "forget" about mariage, family. They stay inside, keeping white, dont need a man and work. But still hope ... some day. Thai women to Thai women are "teasing" each other if they have brown skin. I heard from Thai wife several times. And it doesnt matter, i tell her how much I like her brown skin. Also gave her the tool to shut them up. She only has to say: I have a white man and he loves my brown skin. What do you have? That is an Asian thing, it is the same in Philippines, China or any other Asian country. You get brown, so you work in the field , so your status is low. Only the color would state so, however my wife is an officer and has to be out for her work. But never the less based on color, brown you are low. Colleges will let you know. You go as a milk bottle to Greece on a holiday, you come back and arent brown. Than they ask, if the weather was bad or why you arent brown. Officers who marry each other have other problem. They are split and could be working on total different locations. So your wife could be working in Isaan and the husband for instance in Songkhla. So then you are young and did get married, but then you are ripped apart. So young ladies married, but must stay white as colleges will adres. Then mostly the woman will have a child and taking care of it, but go back to work sometime. And that changes every 4 years for all officers. So happily married? It makes it difficult. And no, "upper class" men in Thailand dictate all. Why you think Thai women wants to be white ? As Thai uc men wants white Thai women. It is set in new culture. Of course it will first start in "upper" classes and then later on goes down to the "lower"classes. Once in Thailand you could have more wives. It vanished, but "mia nois" are still common. A Thai man can,will marry a left over woman, because he has no other choice then, if he really wants. Maybe even a white Thai woman, as leftover. But a Thai man has a bad reputation, I thought, maybe just because of the women? Or just general Thai culture? However society is always a mix of groups and not always everybody follows. Status and ranks of women? You name them. You can also be very young and do another thing, showing in: Everything is possible

You started already on the wrong foot, should have said "just for dinner" But then you take them in YOUR home and touch. If they go home with you, they know what to expect. Probably she (they) already feels bad, as you didnt go on and think "why he doesnt want, am I that uggly?" You didnt, but fooled around some. Your soldier wanted to got to war, but only touched, or also snuggled? So be a man then and tell straight "you dont want relation". Now you want to correct it, which makes you feel uncomfortable. In Thailand if you dont get married before 25, then you are out. You have contact with older women facing that "problem". I know a young (past 25)Thai girl and a Thai guy was interested to be "friends". She said ok but just friends and nothing more, straight forward, right in his face. Cutting off any other possibility, right away. Last time I was in Thailand went to7/11 to buy a bottle of whiskey. One Thai girl offered to help emptying the bottle, she spoke Thai. The other young girl. talking English, told me, so probably I could have had 2 very young girls "to help with whiskey bottle". Im old enough to be there dad. I didnt do as I am with someone. So laughed the situation off, said "my wife" wouldnt appreciate and went home. So it can be very easy in Thailand, but if you dont want , just let them know. Very simple.

Saw lextsy's link, though many issues weer from 2018, but if you have such a tv? Would send it right back, it is not normal. Samsung is making those tv's for long time now, so this is a crying shame.

Modification pressure switch may cause malfunction of machine and pump parts damage. The warranty will be terminated instantly if you modify pressure switch https://www.hitachi-homeappliances.com/th-en/products/water-pump/image/IM_WT-P100-300GX2_WT-P350-400GX_WM-P150-350GX2 .pdf it is new, better have some checked it. The first line is in that pdf manual. You are sure you want to start turning on pressure switch?

OK that was the butterfly, next try to follow an ant on the floor. You see it running forward, right, left make a bend and then comes back at the same place where it first started. Amazing though. It can even do it again, but then a different route. No, wasnt drunk and had some time to spare. Also wonder why they can do it all day long, where do they get their energy from to do so? They are always running, amazing. In my place they renewed a blocking in a ditch, guess for breaking the flow or create different levels. While i was watching it, a little pike (20-30 cm) jumped out the water on land and with some tail movements, it plunged back on the other side again. The pike couldnt have known, he could go on after the blocking, or did it? I never, ever heard, seen red about pikes leaving the water to come on land. It knocked me of my socks to witness this, probably once in a lifetime. Humans can think (?) and we already had many wars, so we know, but still we do so. Thats what i call loss of energy. Yup earth is an amazing place with all kinds of "miracles".

Why does my laptop run at near or 100% CPU load?
xtrnuno41 replied to simon43's topic in IT and Computers
You say some apps on drive, how come it is almost 80 %? 40 mB drive? You ever deleted cookies? checked your register? Defrag your register? With Glary Utilities, you can have things cleaned and checked. There is a free version to use. https://www.glarysoft.com/ No im not sales man in it, but I just use it from time to time, already many years. It can find cookies and delete them and check registry. Also older files which takes up space on drive. Or check on corrupted windows files and replace it. It will do so by the command prompt screen, but goes automatic when you ask GU to do so, through menu's. Just see for your self. Also a possibility to adjust memory settings. They are all in free version. From time to time, i also delete all files in "prefetch" in windows directory. They "help"with these to have smooth acces, I read cookies again, delete. yeah it comes with a pop up for being administrator, but continu. Some (2) you cant delete, so skip that. Delete then from garbage box. I dont use edge, had some experience in cutting my computer in acting and got less. When i put them all out (ending) in taskmanager, had an increase. Thought it was weird but ok rarely now use edge. Sometimes my comp is slooooow, then i check startmenu and see there is an update and MUST restart to have it proper working again. They just annoy you with it, "lovely that windows". The last 12 years experienced all kinds of weird actions and wouldnt be surprised, the OS, browsers are holding back, maybe also depending on where you are on the planet. Apple then? No probably same bs. Linux? Or go back, if possible to windows 7. I want to try with my older laptop as well. But maybe it is blocked once you had windows 10, even if you would erase drive or even buy a new drive. Microsoft doesnt really like W7 anymore, to free is my guess. Yes you can download W7 on a usenet provider. But not only that, there is music, movies, books, software. But maybe you know that. But it would be wise then to use a VPN, as you could be tracked and give you fines. And you have to be aware, some software could have "nasty things". Reading comments and trying to find trustworthy feeders. You have an older laptop, new drive, so maybe catching up in updates, internet connection fast or slow? Maybe busy for some days, till finally all done. -

The counter part, remember that pretty woman? -
I can mention a site, where you see they are doing so and laughing at it. Once met it by accident and explored, it was good i havent had food yet, otherwise I would have probably throw it out. But as you said, for me , it made a lasting mark, just by seeing. Maybe they made a movie (killing/chopping the German) and it is now there. It is a real bizar site and cant go there anymore. You wouldnt believe it, until you see it.

Can you mix and match different light bulbs?
xtrnuno41 replied to up2you2's topic in The Electrical Forum
IF the fitting is the same yes. As said not always dimmable, you need to have the right one then. So E27, normal lamp fitting (230 volts), but there are more like E14 (smaller)and for spotlights they have GU10 and others. So pick the right fitting. Some lamps have a built in transformer, to reduce voltage (12 or 24 volt), they have pins and you have size like MR16. So see info on your lamp. Lumens important, the higher the lumens, the more light. There are with 300, 400 lumens (5 watts), but also 850 -1000 lumens (10 watts), the power (wattage) is some higher. Also color as you have color indication from 2700 K up to 6500 K. The higher the (temperature) K factor , the whiter the lamp is. Daylight is 4000 K, i think that one is the best, but depends on you and for what you need it. 2700 K is quite yellowish. Try to find that number on lamp. Nowadays they say easily daylight on package and not number, then you could end up with 6000 K. Hate that when they are doing so. As 4000 K is not the same as 6000 K. For tube light in house you have the same, but then you have to make some change in the old fitting wiring. For cars maybe not not that easy to change, as those lights have a fan on it and makes it all longer. I have an old car and i would need to cut some from plastic from housing to make it fit. Also changing the blinking lights for LED , is probably not a good idea. you would need an electronic timer relais to have it work. Or the lights must have the same power(watts). -
What China is doing in Cuba is a big threat to all of us
xtrnuno41 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
No its not the countries, but the people "running" it, the system they are working in. In 15 years im probably dead and China doesnt matter in it, they are the same as any other country. Im now more worried about USA (system) influence. They try to make a global (USA) system working, but it is always the same, their own gain on costs of others. EU system, dont like it. "My" country system it is a crying shame. History tells every time again, one "leader"down the drain and other a**e is running the show again and of course it goes down hill. Probably more to "worry" about moslims these days. Probably they didnt forget the past and now are chopping and trying to be, the ones. China is there already, you like to buy with alieexpress, Lazada Those ones already shuts down shops and buying things you cant buy in your own or guest country. You are all ready depending on China. Also medicines come from ..China. Cant say anything for that more, otherwise moderators would say it is trolling, but has to do with corona "vaccines".
