    water heater trouble

    thanks for the answers so far. the heater is not located inside the shower as it serves shower and a tap. I don't think it was the electrical safety that was triggered. The button that pops outside the heater is not the one I was pushing to get it working again, the one I mean is located directly on the boiler unit, maybe it is some kind of temperature safety to avoid overheating or excessive pressure?
  3. I got trouble with a water heater. For a long time already it had intermittent problems, I had to periodically push some kind of safety button inside the water heater assembly to make it work again. Type: earlier model of this one: https://www.thaiwatsadu.com/th/product/เครื่องทำน้ำร้อน-6000-วัตต์-MEX-รุ่น-CENTRI-6R-สีเงิน-60269469 Yesterday, the heater made boiling noises and then the stop valve blew, inundating my bathroom. The valve looked pretty much like this one (it's in pieces now). https://www.lazada.co.th/products/stop-valve-whm4501-12-4-i2907633717-s10639682961.html I'd like to ask if a bad valve could cause the water heater to behave as it did ?
  4. Tucker isn't conservative. He's a populist manipulator leaning on lunatics who in majority belong to the group of "right wing nutters". That group hasn't much in common with the proper right wing or conservatives.
  5. not a laudable goal. equality in civil rights, yes. equality in opportunities for education, employment, etc. yes. equality for equality's sake, no. LGBTQ need a fair position in society with equality of rights and opportunities, all while recognizing differences. pretending members of one biological gender are a full equivalent of a member of another gender is detrimental.
  6. To be frank, the "threat" to the NPP by the dam is minimal to not say inexistent. a lot of things in this conflict are spinned out of proportion. there are several reasons for this: 1- the NPP's cooling water reserve pool is full and normally doesn't deplete rapidly on its own 2- if the water pool was to deplete, there are canalisations and pumps to pump water from a deep spot in the Dniepr
  7. first, Ukraine doesn't target Russian cities. second, Ukraine won't engage in mass killings of civilians
  8. of course this gets exploited for the wrong reasons. the real revelation of this video is how much harder and lonely things are in general for men. it's about gender equality, which will in my opinion remain an evasive utopia, because gender roles are very strongly linked to sexuality which is very different depending on gender. find a way to give women the same sexual drive as men, then there is a chance for gender equality.
  9. It's not really surprising that pro-Ruzzian shills will push Ukraine to commit war crimes as well, so the Ruzzians can say "they did it too, they are not better than us". Ukrainians, don't give them that satisfaction. I'm confident that the Ukrainians that were called "Nazis" by the Ruzzians will demonstrate that they are indeed better humans than Putin and his servants.
  10. the targets need to be highly visible AND be military targets at the same time. the Kherch bridge comes to mind. military headquarter buildings in large cities would also be highly visible targets.
  11. Euromaidan is not exactly unbiaised. Believable losses are mentioned here (video starts at the moment they mention it):
  12. The Ukrainian counteroffensive is under way, has been for 2 or 3 days, and progress has not been easy. A Ukrainian armored column including Bradleys and Leopard 2 that were trying to breach through a minefield was destroyed by the Russians using concentrated artillery on the slow ducks sitting in the open. Things would be much better for Ukraine with air superiority, Ukraine should have received F-16 or whatever could be sent to them one year ago. Let's hope other assaults fare better.
  13. it's optional until it's not. after a while Google wouldn't let me login anymore without using a phone number. and after a bunch of times, I was not allowed to use the same phone number for new accounts. it's super annoying.
  14. you are correct, but for Ukraine and the rest of the world, pushing the Ruzzians out of Ukraine will be a good enough result. then it will be the Russian people's task to finish the job. or not. up to them.
  15. I'm confused, the dam in the black and white photo in your post is not the Kakhova dam, but the Dnipro dam in Zaporizhzhia. how old is that photo ?
  16. ok another satisfied HiSense user, thanks for the report I'd be more interested however to know if these still work after 5 years or more, if anyone could report on older TVs ?
  17. Thanks for the review. I have one question: does any part of that TV get hot when playing videos encoded in H265 ?
  18. there is someone who always reacts with a confused emoticon to all my posts, even such clear-cut ones as this, lol. ????
  19. no, I don't think so. I think the lawyer he used was obviously not up to scratch because otherwise he would have spotted the deficiencies with land type, construction permit, etc. or I suspect he hired the lawyer only for the transaction itself, not for carrying out due diligence.
  20. some rules: - have a reputable real estate lawyer do all the due diligence (construction permit, check property deeds, does the seller actually own what he sells, is it free of mortgages, right of passage, correct land category, certificates of conformity of the construction, etc.) - don't buy any expensive real estate that doesn't have a Chanote (lower grade titles can be ok for some agricultural land) - use cashier cheques - simultaneous transactions and transfer papers signed with witnesses at the land office only
  21. it's the type of person that does well in Putin's hierarchy of henchmen. the same was true for Hitler, who valued loyalty over intelligence.
  22. Territorial birthright for citizenship is an issue that should be addressed, although due to the lack of substantial welfare it's not as big a problem for the US as it is for other countries like for example France, where "single" pregnant women would cross the unprotected green border into Guyana, give birth in a hospital there and then become eligible for welfare benefits while not working at all and cannot be deported because their children are French citizens.
  23. the lab leak is a realistic possibility. but this doesn't mean that the leaked virus has been manufactured. coronaviruses have a history of leaking easily from labs. in leakage scenario it is actually much more probable that a naturally mutated virus could have leaked from a lab where it was being analyzed, because I would expect manufactured viruses to be handled in higher security labs. viruses captured in the wild were routinely analyzed in level 2 biolabs. easy leak. and Wuhan concentrates about 50% of China's available level 2 and 3 biolabs belonging to various universities and FDA / ministry of agriculture and other similar organizations. also, it could have stemmed from another animal, not a bat. just before covid broke out, there had been massive outbreaks among minks. Wuhan would have been where veterinary samples would have been sent.
