Starbucks Korea Bans Bulky Office Gear: No More Printers Allowed
When I was gainfully employed, while working in a vehicle, the office provided a battery powered printer that was about the size of a 1/2 to 1/4 used paper towel roll. You could plug it into a power supply if you wanted/needed/or had one. I don't recall how it connected to the laptop though.

Thailand becoming the New Taiwan: Riders on the Storm
I have seen and used those 45 RPM multi record spindles. I remember a couple of them were the kind that could be placed over the 33 1/3 RPM record spindles. I never had one though. The only record players I had I used the 45 RPM accessory.

What is the fine for never filing a TM30? The higher one?

I have between 250 and 300 passwords! I am not remembering all of them.

Thailand becoming the New Taiwan: Riders on the Storm
OK, understood. The current Garrard 301 I have has a single record spindle, with the 45 RPM accessory spindle. The last turntable I had that had a multi record spindle was a Garrard as well, the Garrard Zero 100 ... or I think it did. Might not have. That was back in 1974.

Thailand becoming the New Taiwan: Riders on the Storm
I am not sure what you mean by, "never used a spindle", unless you are writing about 45 rpm records. I have been looking for a vintage (reconditioned) stereo amplifier with radio, to go with it. Panasonic preferred.

Thailand becoming the New Taiwan: Riders on the Storm
Not about climate change. I have a vintage Garrard 301 turntable. I was returning home one day and saw the old man across the street putting it on the ground next to his trash can (pick the next day). I parked and walked back to see the thing and took it. In the used and cigarette smoke covered condition it was in, decades old, it was still worth over $300.00 to a collector. Reconditioned ones are highly sought after.

Japanese Man Attacked in Bangkok for Filming Smokers
Speaking of smuggling. In the U.S. of A., I have read news reports of tractor trailer loads of cigarettes being hijacked. The tractor trailer is later found abandoned on a street in New York City where the cigaretts are sold, without paying the New York state and New York city taxes. They even counterfit the tax stamps which are applied to the cigarette packs.

It's another perfect morning in Thailand!
I have been like that for a while. But not about snakes. I watched a youtube video of a large spider in a toilet. You could not see the spider at first, then the guy would flush the toilet and it would wash downward from underneath the rim. It ran on the water rushing down from the rim holes. As soon as the water stopped flowing into the bowl, it would run up the bowl back under the rim and disappear. I have been bitten by several spiders (non of the deadly ones) and the bites hurt A LOT for a few minutes! Can't imagine how much it would hurt to be bitten on my ding dang a ling! I see lots of green out the window of our condo though. Its on the river and the opposite side has trees, water hyacinth growing. Nice but those country views are better.

Birds in your garden
This is the one I saw.. That coloration and the spread of feathers at the end of the wings. Not once did I see it flap it's wings all during the time I watched it through my binoculars (pictures from internet).

Birds in your garden
I don't have a garden. I do have a condo on the 26th floor overlooking the Chao Phraya river. I see different birds flying around every day I am here. Two days ago, 8/9/25, I saw a large, dark colored, bird gliding around close to the surface of the river. Getting my binoculars, I watched it glide around for several minutes before it caught a thermal and floated up above the height of the condo and around it out of sight. As it was a large bird I searched the internet for Thailand eagles. I found a match to the bird I saw, a Black Eagle. According to the internet this eagle is mostly found in forested mountain regions of Thailand. Does anyone know if it is uncommon or rare to see Black Eagles in the Nonthaburi area of Thailand? I cannot recall seeing any eagles in Thailand, vs. in the area I live in Pennsylvania where I occasionally see Bald Eagles. I was told there are about 80 Bald Eagles that live in a park by the river about 2 miles from my house. I saw one catch a fish in the creek next to some property I own in Pennsylvania.

Trump’s Odd Speeches Raise New Doubts About His Mental Acuity
I used to hike through the windmill farm at the top of the Altamont Pass outside of Livermore, California, back before the winds dropped so much that it was no longer profitable to maintain it. There were a lot different breeds of birds underneath and around the windmill generation towers. More dead birds than I have seen than in any country I have lived in. I saw more dead birds there than I saw in my life before or after. Domestic cats kill thousands of animals according to a study in Florida years ago. The study included insects in that classification of animals, as well as reptiles and birds. During a year long study of 10 housecats that were followed after they left the owners house, it was determined that the average kill rate was 1800 per cat. This number being the average per cat per year, even though not all the cats in the study were not alive at the end of the study. Most animals were not eaten according to the study, which study, it was suggested that the animals were killed for fun. New Jersey citizens campaigned to stop windmill generators from being built in the ocean off the shore of central New Jersey. Their campaign worked. The governor of New Jersey didn't like that.

Microsoft's Windows 11 rant - it's a con!
Try using virtual machines on a newer version of Windows 10. I used to work for an agency of U.S. government. They spent a truck load of taxpayer money to have a software program developed to operate a portable communications receiving system that would mount on top of what ever vehicle you wanted to use it with, vs. being permanently built into a vehicle for covert operations use. It was loaded into one of the first generation laptops that had a touch screen and an O.S. of Windows 8 SE. A major problem was discovered when the engineers attempted to install the software on a computer with Windows XP. It would not work as the software was specifically built for 8 SE. When the engineering team traveled around to the different offices upgrading our laptops from XP to Win 10, I asked one engineer for a copy of the Win 8 SE communications software. When asked why, I told him, I want to install it on XP computer and run it in a 8 SE virtual machine. I was told it would not work. 4 months later, that engineer team sent out an email telling all offices that they would provide new Win 10 computers that would run the 8 SE communications software in a virtual machine. They would provide training to all users on how to set up and use the virtual machines.

Submarine Replica Goes on Display in Sattahip
I have seen Chinese made metal working machines, sold as a hobby machine, from mainland China. Some of those lathes could only turn a diameter to about .003 inches of accuracy. Then there are the lathes they make that can turn to an accuracy of .0001 inch. Those lathes are not cheap.

Transgender Thief Nabbed After Robbing Drunk Russian Tourist
People do that? I didn't know that. The only drunk that I know is my brother in law (American) who gets obnoxious and (I am projecting here) thinks he is making funny comments but is only being stupid when drunk.

Transgender Thief Nabbed After Robbing Drunk Russian Tourist
OK, I am confused about this news story. According to the story: "This dramatic caper unfolded in the early hours of 6th August when the tourist, heavily intoxicated, dozed off near Phra Tamnak Soi 6." Yet the lady boy had: "... skilfully struck up a conversation, ..." Who was the ladyboy having a conversation with, if the tourist was sleeping?

That advertisement was a scam. Yes you got the sub, but had to pay extra for the nuclear engine, the missles, and the torpedoes! At least that is what a friend told me when I was 10.

Epic Progress: Bangkok's MRT Tunnelling Under Chao Phraya
I did a search on the internet about the boring machine. My lower estimate of the diameter is off by 3.05 meters (if the math in my head is correct). I found two articles that stated the diameter was 6.95 meters. Years ago I read about a boring machine that was used to bore a tunnel. the article stated that the boring machine was used to bore off to the side of the main tunnel and that is where they left it. Easier and less expensive than tryin to get it out of the finished tunnel. I have wondered since reading the article if the maintenance and other personnel still had access to the boring machine in the side tunnel.

Epic Progress: Bangkok's MRT Tunnelling Under Chao Phraya
I saw a huge boring machine someplace here in Thailand about 3 weeks ago. Just guessing, it looked to be 10 or more meters in diameter. First tunnel boring machine I have ever seen live and in the flesh!! P.S. It's teeth were bright red!

Danish Zoo Faces Backlash for Using Pets as Predator Feed
When I was in Vietnam, one section of the Company had a pet boa constrictor, or similar snake. The snake cage was near the movie theater screen. Movie night in the company was Tuesday night. Guess when the bastards would throw a live chicken into the boa constrictors cage so it could eat!
