How many words in the English language has been changed to fit an agenda, then used to demonetize people that you (generic you) don't agree with?

Yet, racist have changed the meaning of the word to mean what ever they want it to mean. It seems, one meaning of racist is, you don't agree to my meaning of woke so you are a racist! woke (past tense) emerge or cause to emerge from a state of sleep; stop sleeping: "she woke up feeling better" · "I wake him gently"

I have experienced more outages here in the U.S. of A. than in Thailand, for the last 2 decades. Just last night, the storm that blew through was causing intermittent loss of power. I need UPS's more here than there. I only started thinking about this last year when the condo shut the power off during the exchange of transformers outside the building. My laptop is usually on all the time. But it is the TV's I am concerned about there and here. Downstairs computer here, has a UPS with wifi/router, monitor, and computer on it.

You can't sell that bridge! It belongs to me!

This if for a condo on the 26th floor. I don't think they will like it if I put a generator on the balcony. I am sure my wife won't! Mostly I am interested in keeping the electronics from being damaged and keep them on during the period that a switch over to the emergency generator I think the condo has. Secondary desire is to have the system shut my computer down, if it can do that. Damn OS now had a screen login and I am not sure how the emergency system can bypass that and then shut the computer down after a specified period of time. The computer here at home in the U.S.of A. does not go to sleep nor does the screen saver need a password. I am not sure about the computer I will be using in Thailand. Thanks for the information, it has been helpful.

OK, thanks. I need to look into the EPS thing more. I would like to have something to use at the condo when the family is there.. (can you believe the daughter wants to stay at our condo with the grandkids when we are all in Thailand instead of her place? Just because wife and I have a better condo! shaking my head... lol) I did a quick internet search and the first three links had virtually the same information about UPS's and EPS's! Still the description of an EPS may be what I have at the house in the U.S. of A. and call a standby generator. Rated at 22 kilowatts, the generator can run the whole house, including the furnace for heat during the winter or the air-conditioned during summer. I can turn everything on at the same time if I wanted to. I have a UPS with dead batteries that I am going to replace with new batteries and use it in my den with the computer and TV that I use for a monitor. The problem I have here is, half the house is on one phase of electrical power and half the house is on another. Lights stay on in the den and my TV shuts off sometimes. I don't think will need and EPS system in Thailand at the condo. I believe they had a standby/emergency generator that will kick in and power the condo building if the mains power shuts down. But I am not sure. The transformers for the mains power were replaced last year in July. While that was going on I heard a generator running but I think the only thing that was powered up in the building were the elevators (or just one elevator), I can't recall correctly. When I am back in Thailand this year I will have to find out more about that. If the emergency generator will only run the elevators in the building (and other stuff like sump pumps etc) but not power the lights, then that means I have to make a decision if I need an EPS or UPS in the condo. I can open the balcony doors (two balcony's) and get cross draft that can keep the place cool, but there is a lot of wind blowing through as we are on the 26th floor.

The big gray 12 volt batteries next to the yellow/mustard colored Cyberpower box. Gel, sealed lead acid, maintenance free lead acid batteries ??? I don't know what the SLA means. I am interested in having a UPS that the electronics can be plugged into to block power surges, low power and over power of the mains. You are in Thailand right? If so, where did you purchase the Cyberpower unit?

Age restricted youtube video?

What kind of batteries are those?

I found a gray snake in my Pennsylvania yard that I could not identify. I played around with it a little bit until it became too aggressive trying to bite me, so I left it alone and it crawled off into the brush. Later I found out it was a timber rattlesnake. What threw me off on identifying was no rattles. Too young to have them I guess.

Could it be that the alcoholic beverages had more to do with this than age? My bet it is.

First time was in 1972 - 1973 working a SINGINT mission as an Army grunt for the NSA. 1973 is when I learned about Songkran. I don't want to go to Thailand during the 1 or 2 week Songkran and will not go there during a 1 month long Songkran. I have been returning almost every year since 1987. Family now has 2 condos there in which I can stay if I travel there by myself, which I do sometimes, with the wife following a week or two later or she leaves a week or two before I do. Beaches are OK for a few hours. Mostly here in the U.S. if I can fish off a dock, otherwise, I don't are for them. I like deserts, desert mountains, mountains, and wide open plains. I am not very fond of city vacations and hope to never have to go on a cruise with the wife, who talks about that sometimes.

Having had to work in St Louis, Chicago, Baltimore and NYC, Newark, NJ, when working as a Federal Agent, they are pretty much the same in many ways, as you described, cesspits! You also left out Philadelphia, PA! Having lived in Louisiana as a child and teenager, with relatives all over that state, saying "entire state of Louisiana are more a cesspit than Chicago" is wrong. But, I will agree that parts of Baton Rouge and New Orleans is damned dangerous to be in if you are white, especially at night. At some point, years ago before my grandmother died I started wearing my badge and pistol on my belt when I visited her and my aunt across the street from her house!

Wife and I have been talking about taking the grandkids, when they are out of school for summer vacation, in the RV and touring the U.S. of A. .. It would be a long slow drive (32 footer ... RV = Caravan for you Europeans). But I like the idea even if I am the driver. Unfortunately, that is not happening next summer. Wife has already booked flights for us, the daughter and grandkids to Thailand already!

I flew non stop from JFK to Thailand one time. I prefer traveling with a stop where I can get off the aircraft, take a shower, change clothes, etc.

I am blocking your despicable post!

I don't know what the Japanese company wanted to do with the property. If my wife did tell me, I have forgotten. Mother in law valued the land more than the money.

Before the gubmint employer I worked for in california transferred me to wanna be california, pennsylvania, I saw a lot of great attractions in california. Those attractions were away from the major population centers out in the countryside of california. I found that the fewer progressive (yes, even back 27 years ago) there were around, the better california was.

Really? On the other hand, when I was in the U.S. of A. Army, I liked driving the M35 2 1/2 ton (carry weight off road) Cargo truck (not trunk LOL). Outside dimensions, 96 inches (2.4 m/ 8 ft.) wide and 277 inches (7.0 m/ 23 ft.) long. I could and did park that thing, including parallel parking, just about anywhere. But, a regular vehicle, including my 19 ft. long RAM 1500 pick em up truck. Watching me try to parallel park that thing, especially between other vehicles, now that's entertainment!

I have a different model Optoelectronics that I bought over 30 years ago. It still works. I used it with a vhf/uhf receiver that connected to the Optoelectronics receiver. When the Optolectronics device picked up a signal, it would tune the vhf/uhf receiver to the frequency and emission mode. I used it when I was working for the U.S. of A. goverment. It worked, but you have to be within about 100 feet or less for it to work. I had other equipment that I could use to determine frequencies at a much greater distance so stopped carrying it with me when working.

15 or 20 years ago a Japanese firm wanted to buy the 10 rai of land my mother in law owned. They offered her $2,000,000.00 U.S. for it. Mother in law turned them down. My wife now owns the 10 rai and has a signed contract with her cousin who farms rice on it. It is worth more than she gets for the lease.

A condo in Nonthaburi was up for sale by the developer for 5 years. Asking price was 9 million baht for a 2 bedroom 2 bath, 2 balcony condo on the 26th floor of a building, overlooking the river, 2 swimming pools, 2 exercise rooms. Strange how all that is in 2's. The wife wanted to see it and it looked nice. But she thought the price was too high. A few months later our son's wife told her the price dropped to 4.9 million baht. Wife flew Thailand and bought it. It is a nice place.

I was offered an insurance policy here in the U.S. of A. and the company refused to send me the details of the policy to read, before I paid for it. Then if I did pay for it and did not like the terms of the policy, they told me I could not get a refund. Naturally, I did not purchase that insurance.

Does Thailand attach contracts to Thai tourists that go to the USA or Europe, in order for Thai tourists to be treated in emergency rooms? I cannot speak for Europe, but in the USA, emergency rooms are required, by USA law, to treat sick and injured people whether or not those people have any insurance. That would include Thai tourists who go to hospitals due to illness or injury. And if the Thai tourist happens to overstay their visa's while hospitalized, those Thai tourists are not treated as criminals and subject to detention or fines or blacklisting for overstay!
