  1. Boris Johnson the "lion of Brexit" has popped out as candidate leader of the Conservatives. I could not image how as a later PM he could make a deal with the European Commission which he compared to Hitler building a superstate. Also... I guess he did not know what Napoleon said :" A man can be a coward under only one circumstance ...when he has to run away from a woman"

  2. Since a few months I did a free Win 10 upgrade of my Windows 7 Home to Windows 10

    I was happy with this until...a lightening hit my house.

    My electrical equipment was all fully protected but my HP Desktop as well as the 3BB router were out of order.

    As I was still enjoying guarantee from HP their technician came and replaced the motherboard.

    Now Windows 10 suffers from frequent unwanted reboots and it seems with the new motherboard many drivers had to be re-downloaded and did it with professional Driver software on my PC.

    I also have Re-Imagine a great tool to fix Windows but it does not provide a solution for my case which is due to hardware (motherboard)

    Now I want to do a fresh installation of the upgraded Windows 10

    I downloaded from the Microsoft website an ISO file with Win 10 and burned it on a DVD

    Luckily I noticed on time that Microsoft would not activate a Win 10 fresh installation if a new motherboard was installed (I guess they consider it as a "new" PC)

    QUOTE
    Q: What happens if I change the hardware configuration of my Windows 10 device?
    A: If the hardware configuration of your Windows 10 device changes significantly (e.g. motherboard change) Windows may require re-activation on the device. This is the same experience as prior versions of Windows (e.g. Windows 7 and Windows 8.1). The free upgrade offer will not apply to activation of Windows 10 in such scenarios where hardware changes reset Activation.

    QUESTION : has any TVF member any experience with this (getting assistance from the Thai Microsoft office 02-263-6888 is hopeless)
    I can format the C drive to erase all Windows traces and do a fresh installation with my old Windows 7 DVD : but will Microsoft activate this again?
  3. As you had a previous marriage you need make clear separation when you marry again :

    - contract stipulating you will keep separate all money and assets you had before marriage (in case of eventual children in your first marriage) but you could stipulate you share fully all money and assets acquired after your second marriage.

    - try to have the new marriage in the UK so that your new marriage papers will be easily understood in other countries (and also by you)

  4. You have to pay more because here Health Insurance is - as in the USA - a profitable business and they insure no people with risks except in some cases but then they have to pay more.

    I guess your blood analysis indicates problems with your cholesterol and here there are some answers :

    - exercice (walk at least half hour a day)

    - fish oil which contains Omega-3 fats

    - medication

    ...but a good doctor should have the last word

  5. Drug decriminalization – alongside a serious investment in treatment and harm reduction services – has been proven to significantly improve public safety and health.

    Of course, I am dubious of Thailand's ability to undertake the critical element of drug decriminalization – namely, a serious investment in treatment and harm reduction services.

    I'll just leave these here...

    Decriminalization also kills the 'business" for the mafia's

  6. Mine is all over the place, had stays in Hospital 3 times over past 4 years with dangerously low blood pressure, [+ blurred and dizzy]... now must record morning and evening blood sugar + blood pressure and heart, so since my last spell in Hospital + new medication for low blood pressure.. No idea what it means, just think if I understood the Dr below 90 is 'Low' over 130 is 'High'

    aged 66, Diabetic + low blood pressure tablets for 20 years

    Morning are OK most days 118- 128 over 79 - 84, below are evening reading over past 12 days

    B.P + H

    120/77 + 87

    108/73 + 88

    96/62 + 84

    102/65 + 80

    115/78 + 80

    117/76 + 81

    123/81 +82

    79/52 + 80

    108/73 + 76

    94/61 + 84

    114/74 + 78

    80/54 + 77

    Thanks for the detailed reply which shows I should not worry too much but nevertheless monitor my blood pressure.

    How do you record your blood sugar : analysis made last week recorder 106 mg/Dl which is pre-diabetes but I want to monitor this now also.

  7. fvw53 re your sound problems, have you tried updating your sound and audio drivers ?

    Yes I did using Iobit Driver Booster

    Windows 10 built-in memory manager differs quite a lot from previous built-in memory managers of other Windows operating systems.

    Therefore update not only your driver but also your application to the latest available version.

    Yes your recommendation worked well and problems have gone ...I hope this is the final word from my side

    Thanks to TVF members !

  8. I am 72 and the last 6 years I had mild hypertension about 140 to 160 systolic and 60 to 70 diastolic (my diastolic numbers were never higher than 70)

    Now the last week I have surprising low blood pressure : morning about 95 to 100 over 55 to 60

    I do not feel dizzy except that morning I need more time to get in full action...

    I thought that with such hypotension I should be in an intensive care unit ...So I went for check up (electro cardio gram and blood analysis) showing all is OK for my age but the doctor does not reply my questions about what is going on with my blood pressure

    Question to TVF members : do some of you experience the same low blood pressure over a long period without any worry?

  9. Since my upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10 I have the problem that the sound of all video (online Youtube or off line VLC) has a stuttering sound.

    Many users face this stutter but I still not get a solution and it is too late to revert to Win 7

    Could I change the sound card (Realtek) and get a better one ?

  10. A two second Google in the news backroom would have shown a zillion photos of the guy...rolleyes.gif

    As for the "funny" comment, if it were YOUR dead famous father would it still be funny..?

    He was just a brain damaged boxer few had heard of in Thailand, not a world leader or great scientist. At least Ali had a sense of humor, when he could still laugh.

    Boxing is the human equivalent of cock fighting : damaging each other for money

    What is all the fuss about this guy who violently damaged the brains of others before becoming brain damaged himself ?

  11. Throw his Father and Mother in jail and see what family loyalty will do then.

    When he comes to face the music then release them.

    Targeting relatively-innocent parties such as Mum & Dad is despicable in most civilized countries, so leave them out of it.

    Besides, from the perp's lack of morals, I don't think that he would give a toss about his parents anyway,

    May-be he too suffers - like the Ethan Couch - from "affluenza"

  12. I'll bet the heads of the two in the cockpit were doing a bit an extreme side shuffle

    What are those cars doing on the runway waddy waddy deeb deeb....bleep bleep

    Lol.

    The term, "Pay peanuts, get monkies" rings true.

    On 31 October 2000 Singapore Airlines 006 crashed in Taiwan after taking a wrong (closed) runway : the circumstances may have been different but I guess the passengers on SG006 did not "pay peanuts". Pilot error remains a serious cause of accidents regardless the fares paid by the passengers.

  13. I thought 50 degrees was the absolute limit for human beings, the body cant get rid of the internal heat

    The highest temperature ever recorded in Pakistan is 53.5°C which was recorded in Mohenjo-daro, Sindh on 26 May 2010. It was not only the hottest temperature ever recorded in Pakistan but also the hottest reliably measured temperature ever recorded on the continent of Asia.

    I tried to put my hand in water of 55 C : I could not keep it more than a few seconds

  14. I cannot find anything on the internet about the root of the conflict.

    According to my Thai wife she heard something on a Thai TV channel that the conflict was about 'status' and that the two murdered profs had a degree from a US university while the murderer was angry that his degree from a Philippine University was considered as inferior.

    Any confirmation of this?

    I can only say there is a lot of snobbism in Thailand on the value of a university degree : I have Thai friends of the older generation with Philippine degrees who are brilliant company managers and I know there are Thais of a younger generation with a US degree who can hardly speak English.

    My university degree comes from one of Europe's oldest universities but when I got it I was reminded that I had not "arrived" and that in fact it was only a start and performance in professional life would make the difference. In Thailand this performance has of course other standards in the private sector (based on results) and in the government sector (based on connections).
