They've cut the 3BB fibre cable so many times the tech gave me his private phone number so I could call him direct. Nice guy, seems happy enough with the 100bht 'tip' I give him for turning up quickly.

He's probably the one cutting it.

I remember a few weeks before Matt Hancock resigned as UK Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Mike Graham on his radio show described him as appearing to have turned into a 'vaccine salesman' as well.
So the sentiment of senior politicians and advisors selling out like this is not just restricted Thailand.

How would I do that with a black screen?

I'm sure windows 10 will have a new update out to fix it.

 

I guess I can download the AMD drivers, pull out the graphics card, restart in safe mode, install the latest drivers then restart.

Maybe I'll try that in a week or two.

 

Have you tried windows 10?

Even safe mode is 3 menu's deep and at least 2 restarts to get to.

As you said. Coudn't you install the problematical graphics card, boot to safe mode, uninstall the Windows driver, then reinstall the latest drivers. Then do a normal boot and see if that fixes it?

Does anyone use the paid for Thai2English Dictionary software by 'Mike' which was available for download at his site www.thai2english.com? He also used to post on Thaivisa (can't remember his nickname, 'MikeI' or something lke that).
I recently tried to re-install it and was unable to register it and use its full functionality, with the error message ""unable to connect to server".
Has he abandoned it?
Thanks in advance for any info.

Don't get one without IPS.

Nothing made in China works

...but...the virus itself...

Italy in their dominant spell(s) tired them out by keeping possession and getting the English players to run after the ball. Even when they temporarily won the ball, they just hoofed it upfield to lose it again. It needed England once they won possession to string a few passes together, gain some composure and make the opposing team chase the game.

The old rubber o-rings were cheap and easy to replace.
Then they were phased out and replaced with the ceramic disc taps which we were told would never leak. However they do and the plumber usually advises buying a whole new tap as he can't source the particular disc required. Hard to see the progress.

Or have I missed something?

No it isn't nasty , for people only working with oranges and potatoes yes , anything more then citric acid is dangerous ( even citric acid can be dangerous ) , but for people who work with chemicals or at a chemical plant , styrene is pretty ok . It does have a few properties which need to be taken care of , like fire , and you better not drink it also ( or inhale it all day ) , like with most chemicals around , but it isn't more dangerous then gasoline .

A 2000 m3 tank exploding is certainly pretty big , but i highly doubt that was the trigger , it is just the massive flames after.

ps i got 30+ y of experience as chemical process operator , of which 8y in polystyrene plant .

Are you sure about that?

Visakhapatnam gas leak (07 May 2020)
Hundreds of people were rushed to hospitals following widespread breathing difficulties and sensations of burning eyes.[12] Many had been found lying on the ground, unconscious as a result of gas exposure. The initial estimate noted at least 11 deaths and 20–25 people in critical condition.[22] By the next day, the death toll had risen to thirteen.[23] More than 1,000 people were reportedly exposed to the gas.[19]

It does look a bit staged. The guy doesn't even react when the head appears.
Probably just school kids messing around or a Pee Krasue.

Don't know if this has been posted yet. CCTV footage of the blast @41 s:

Reports are it's a tank of styrene monomer that's alight.
Styrene: Carcinogenic. Irritant. Poisonous gases produced in fire.

Video of the unlucky music teacher's mishap:

There's a mistake in the translation. 32-year-old Supan who reported the story was the son of the unfortunate victim, not the father.

Matt Hancock - Sex Machine:

@14:58 you can hear them saying they're going home, several times. But the police run up to them and attack them. Presumably prompted by the previous stand-off with the senior officer who didn't like having the law quoted at him in front of his officers.

I would imagine assault charges will be filed the other way.

Tried a Google search in Thai for any Thai language reports of the incident but nothing turned up.
Guess it predates the internet by a few years. Did turn up quite a few later ferry capsizings in the area, so I guess it's not an unknown event there.

Had to Google it since the photo in the OP didn't really do it justice. Looks worth a visit if in the area. Don't know how his camera didn't pick up any traffic noise, only birds, even at dawn.

In mgronline.com the mother denied it was really alcohol and is in some kind of custody dispute with the 23 year-old father who was the one who reported the incident. Social services were called in and she was given a warning saying if it was repeated the child would be taken into care.
