YOU might think so, but I suspect that millions of THAI VOTERS may disagree with you. After all, it is their country and not yours. I hope that you are speaking for yourself only and anybody who may agree with you. "We" is a plural term. and you certainly do NOT speak for me, nor my Thai family or my Thai friends.

Thank you for that information. I tried it which led me to a screen, which led me to eventually 5 screens and I ended up giving up as it was taking me out of the task manager (where Copilot doesn't show) deeper and deeper into Microsoft and changing the registry. I went to Settings and Apps and features and uninstalled Copilot from there. It seems to be applicable to Windows 11 and Microsoft Edge only and is some sort of AI App similar to ChatGPT and is a stealthy way for MS to make changes without people noticing.

I am using Windows 10 and in the bottom right corner of the screen is an icon called Copilot. It is a preview from Windows 11 AFAIK It doesn't seem to do anything and it doesn't show up on the task manager anywhere. Is it possible to get rid of it, and if so, how? Thanks.

Left behind what? Why would I care?

Why does he, I or anybody else HAVE to change? You are welcome to change as often as you wish, in exactly the same way that nobody HAS to change if they don't want to, and if it works for them (and me), why change something that works.

Funny you should say that in the light of this BBC news item this morning. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68974624 The US last week paused a bomb shipment for Israel over concerns it was going ahead with a major ground operation in Rafah, southern Gaza, a senior administration official says. The shipment consisted of 1,800 2,000lb (907kg) bombs and 1,700 500lb bombs, the official told CBS News, the BBC's media partner in the US. Israel has not "fully addressed" US concerns over humanitarian needs of civilians in Rafah, the official says. Israel made no immediate comment. Overnight, there were further Israeli air strikes in the Gaza Strip, hours after Israeli forces backed by tanks took control of the key Rafah crossing on the border with Egypt. The Israeli bombardment has been particularly intense around Rafah. Local medics say seven members of one family were killed in one overnight strike. Perhaps Israel is losing the unconditional support of the USA now. The shipment was not banned completely, just paused at this point in time.

Oddly enough I did a couple of months work in Chile back in 1991 and I found it a lot nicer, people, food, wine and the country in general, than the next 8 months in Venezuela

I very much doubt that.

That would apply to Trump more than the court. It may even give him a dose or what the real world is like. I save my sympathy for his Secret Service bodyguards.

It is back and working on my computer. Thank you.

IMHO, IF the Biden administration was similar to the Gestapo, then Trump would have "disappeared" several years ago, never to be seen or heard of again, and nobody would have dared to ask any questions

What Russia did, before, during and after WW2 DOES have a direct bearing is and does today. I used to talk to some of my uncles and their friends, even some of my school teachers when I was young, who were actually in the military during WW2, so NO, I was not indoctrinated. Plus over the years I also did research as well. Yes the Russians did well, once lease/lend supplies of tanks, all sorts of vehicles, over 4 million tons of supplies including fuel, food, medical supplies and even aircraft reached them. They were also aided by the military genius of Adolf Hitler who sent his armies equipped for summer warfare and left them to freeze in the Russian winter. At Stalingrad, Goering promised that he could supply the German 6th army by air alone. He failed. I guess that you must have missed the bit where the allies got rid of the Germans and the Italians from North Africa, Sicily, Italy, Greece, Yugoslavia, Albania, France, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Norway and a good sized chunk of Germany. All of which IIRC my geography lessons from school are also part of Europe, as is a part of Russia, East of the Ural mountains.

Dear poster of the confused emoji. Please don't just take my word for what I have written. Please do some internet research of your own, and if I am wrong, please tell me where.

You really ought to to do research before coming up with something like that.

Please explain exactly who did save Europe from Germany in WW2. Are you thinking of Russia who was an ally of Germany until July 1941 until they were supplied by the USA and the UK both directly into Russia by the USA and via Murmansk by the UK and the arctic convoys. How many thousands of Merchant Navy and Royal Navy sailors died, frozen to death, helping Russia? They were also supplied with lease/lend through the middle east countries into southern Russia. The Russians also invaded Poland and Finland and those countries were divided up between Russia and Germany. How about when the Russians were advancing across Poland towards the end of WW2, yet stopped before they got to Warsaw so that the Germans could slaughter the Hewish resistance? Did you also "forget" that their version of saving Europe meant invading countries and not leaving them, Remind us all what happened in Hungary in 1956 when the Hungarians wanted their freedom from Russia. How about Berlin and the Berlin Wall, or the airlift in 1948 when the Allied Air forces kept the West Berliners alive through the air corridors, and how allied aircraft were shot down by Russian fighter aircraft, even though the Russians and the allies were supposedly on the same side? Do you still think that they were the "nice guys"?

But they are all negative with nothing to back it up. For example, I could offer the opinion that you are crazy, but it would only be my opinion and worthless unless I could back it up. That is merely an example and, no, I don't think you are crazy, but it is also an opinion.

1 After 20 years living in the house I have replaced most of the lights by LEDs on failure. 2 The kettle only gets switched on 4 or 5 times a day. I have 2 wall fans running about 16 hours a day to keep me cool and the downstairs a/c is on about 5 or 6 hours a day in March and April, my bedroom a/c is on about 8 hours a night. We also have 2 fridge freezers, 1 freezer and some other odd fans and lights on during the day and evening. My lazy crazy BIL is living in my MIL old house and uses fans and lights for I don't know ho long. The problem with checking the meter is that it is about 40 metres away on a pole outside the property and it would be a 2 person and a 2 mobile job to do. 3 We get power cuts regularly several times a week, anywhere from 10 seconds up to 2 or 3 hours for a serious one. The problem with solar lights and remotes is that I end up with a big heap of remotes and tend to use only one for the 3 outside spotlights I have now. 4 I live about 65 km from Kamphaeng Phet city where there is one proper shop selling all sorts of lighting and solar stuff. There used to be a good shop for that in Nakhon Sawan which is 130 km in the other direction, though I have no idea if it is still operating as I haven't been there in years. 5 I have thought of getting an external solar network built outside as we have the room for it, but I think the cost would be too much. My monthly/daily usage in Kw/h this year was, (December) January 589/19 units, February 590/19.03, March 502/16.19, April 669/21.58 and the current one is 978/31.55 units and probably mostly in the daytime. I think that I would need perhaps a network that will generate about 50 Kw/h daily to cover my current usage and still charge the batteries in the daytime with room for expansion if necessary. At 80 years old in a couple of weeks, I will never see a ROI and I have no doubt that my wife, who is 59 will be faced with several sets of solar panels and batteries to replace over the years. I have just looked back at my old electricity bills going back to 2016 and it seems that they are going up at between 4 and 5,000 baht per year, which is about right for inflation.

Solar panel cable extension cables v01 Questions from bluejets. All depends on not what you did say but what you did not say. Q1 Things like size of the panels (physically and wattage), what voltages are involved, Q2 What load current do you expect at the far end of your long runs? Q3 Do you intend the solar panels to go to an off line inverter first or are you talking unregulated DC from the panels? Q4 Does the solar array currently power some kind of inverter or load? Best draw a basic block diagram showing the components for solar panels and loading, length of run, only one load or several and how you intend to connect these together etc Even then. expect more questions.... Overall, I think you are approaching this idea of "cost cutting" with the wrong ideas on what is possible. An example is, if it is all this bother just for a few lights,(which draw bugger all) there are much better/cheaper alternatives. If you want to install a system to save your wife some money in the future(and naturally now), get a grid connect system installed by professionals. Again, the size of the system would depend on what you need to power. Answers I will number your questions and do my best to answer them. Q1 Things like size of the panels (physically and wattage). A1 The size of the current 3 solar lamps I have is, solar panel is 134x217x6.5 mm. Battery capacity - 2200 mAh, 3.7V, Voltage from solar cell - 6 Volt / maximum 3-Watt, Wire length - 4 meters, Maximum brightness - 250 LM. Dengo brand. Model name Solar Bright 60W is what I am using outside currently. Q2 What load current do you expect at the far end of your long runs? A2 That would depend on how many and what kind of lamps I would use? Downstairs in the lounge I would use 2 by 75 or 100W solar lamps, my bedroom downstairs 1 by 75 or 100W, upstairs 1 or perhaps 2 by 75 or 100W solar lamps, 1 by 75 or 100W in 2 other bedrooms, outside 3 by 75 or 100W spotlights. In the house would probably be circular ceiling lamps and outside would be spotlights. The outside spotlights would need no extension cables, and if I bought 3 of the same type, any of the remote controllers would work all of them. Inside however would mean perhaps 2 extension cables for each light, perhaps 2 by 5M extensions or 1 x 5 and 1 x 10M cables. The drawback to the inside lights currently, would mean that somebody has to go outside and use the remote to turn the light off, hence the thought for light switches. The other problem is that I would end up with a heap of unused remotes, if I used internal switches. Another problem is that 2 downstair lamps are currently running from around 06:30 to 22:30 and the third is on 24/7, so the solar panels need to be big enough to charge the lamps for 18 hours a day, and the batteries for night time and power outage use as well. Q3 Do you intend the solar panels to go to an off line inverter first or are you talking unregulated DC from the panels? A3 No. Q4 Does the solar array currently power some kind of inverter or load? A4 No. Solar panel cable extension cables v01.docxSolar panel cable extension cables v01.docxSolar panel cable extension cables v01.docx

Welcome to the Ministry of Truth (1984 by George Orwell) as updated by Israel in 2024.

You seem to have lots of ideas and theories, yet little or nothing to back them up.

As it doesn't affect you in any way at all, why do you care?

If it is not that hard, why don't you post the link that prove that she lied and that they lie every day? Or do we have to accept your unsupported word that what you say is correct?

She lives in her own fantasy, as do millions of other people. Does that make her and them wrong. I think that far more people listen to her that listen to you. Does that make them wrong too?

This will be a long post so I will go offline, write and amend it in MS Word, then do a copy and paste to your helpful response. Thank you.

I am thinking of installing some solar panel lighting indoors but I have come across problems. 1 Stage 1. Most solar panels seem to have fairly short cables between the panel itself and the light. What I need (I think) is a selection of extension cables perhaps 1, 2 5 and 10 metres long to fit on the end of a solar panel to the next stage. 2 Stage 2. one end of the extension cable will need to go to a simple (really) off/on switch in the house and another cable from the switch to the solar light. 3 Stage 3. The original solar panels will have to be replaced with much larger panels, as some of the lights will be switched on for perhaps 16 hours out of 24 and mostly daylight hours. They will need to be discharging and charging more at the same time. 4 Does anyone think that this is possible? Does anyone know of a place and prices where I can order stuff like this. I live in rural Kamphaeng Phet, about 65 km from KPP city and about 350 km from Bangkok and Chiang Mai on the western side of Thailand. I am 79 and hoping to do this before I die to cut down on the electricity bills for my wife after I pop my clogs. Any information or help will be much appreciated.
