Smart Meters, two self taken pictures from Aug 2020 in Pattaya: (from what I remember they started in Pattaya testing the devices)

Just seen an example bill here from the forum and reading and printing time are identical (as stated in post above) So the midnight reading must be something/new different.

Good question and might explain the "midnight" reading. 6:41 in the morning? Seems still a guy with a handheld prints the bill just having the readings in his terminal already? Or printed centrally? Unsure.

A >conventional< meter is read by a guy scooting around, looking up (possible using some stick and camera? for meters hanging high up). He enters the reading it to his handheld terminal and prints it from there and puts the bill it in the box/mailbox. At the online PEA app it will not appear until next morning. What time? Who knows. It's done when it's done. Date is usually the same every month. That's what happens at our house. Unfortunately I don't have a printed bill at hand to check about timestamps. Conventional meter: you now see more and more smart meters. Look very different and can be connected as a "mesh" network. Read remote. But I don't know too much about it.

No problem here. I wasn't aware that there is something like a sign in to that ChatGPT. I just open this: https://aseannow.com/thaivisa-chatgpt/ I sometimes get weird "robot proof" challenges from Lazada ("unusual traffic from your network") even though I use a standard 3BB fiber internet. What internet provider do you use? Do you use a VPN? Why the captcha doesn't work? No idea. What I also sometimes get is the annoying "robot" popup related to AN newsletter. But I click and close no problem.

Just this morning (7 AM Thai time). Was quite shocked. EUR/THB:

The word "Tesla" triggers some reflexive reaction of me. So forget my comment. BTW when will Apple come with such

Agree on that. After she had prolonged life of more nuclear power plants before. Cost German tax payers xx billion Euro in compensation.

But go for bungee jumping, tandem skydiving and selfies on the cliff (and scoot around in Thailand) If you were afraid of nuclear plants in Germany best stay in bed. Of course nuclear power was not a major contributor anymore after the completely erratic U-turn policy of Miss Merkel. She missed a lot. So now the greens can dance and jump of joy. Will there be a party today? Germany sleeps well now, only 422-3 = 419 power plants in operation worldwide. 57 under construction though. The green minister for economy/energy (doctor in philosophy, interpreting French poems) recently said: Sure Ukraine will continue with nuclear power. That's OK if they are safe. Considering that Chernobyl is in Ukraine more hypocrisy is hardly possible.

Exactly. If 49 deaths is a deadly day then every day is a deadly or terrible deadly one. Just media frenzy, an annual ritual.

Not sure why 18000 animals killed is a good topic for "some funny jokes".

I better shut my mouth about electric battery cars. In Thailand?? But have fun if you have the money to waste and circle around the neighborhood.

80 years old, dementia, already has a catheter (through the penis?). Sorry to say but in my opinion this is hopeless/too late for medication. I myself have developing problems (mid 60s) and use misc stuff (that has been mentioned above) to win a few years before Rezum or whatever. Just a nightmare to end like my father: My father was in a similar situation and got a catheter through the belly. And worst case not just visit the bath and open a valve but having it connected to a urine bag attached to the leg. Not what you wish for but probably only solution. Is he living alone? Does he have a medical caretaker/regular visit? He might even have problems to empty the bag or change to a new. The catheter has to be changed in some regular interval (is it a year? I forgot). This procedure has to be done at a hospital, usually outpatient.

This simply: yes.

I always do 1080p as it matches my screen. But look at this screenshot (about 1/4 of the view) and can hardly read any of the signs. Really poor. (click on picture for original size)

Geography is not a strong point of Thai journalism. "northeastern"?? N W E S Hope this helps. Not a single location named has anything to do with the northeast. I was alarmed from the headline as you can understand. And the link to the article ends in a 404

Fun spoiled by quite blurry videos. New cam or review edit/upload process.

Clearly no from the numbers. More traffic, slower traffic on average, jams and gridlocks. Also not true for big cities in the west. Too much traffic does not cause deadly accidents. More deadly on open rural highways (if one can speed).

The usual annual media show. A number of 36 deaths is way below the average on other days before Covid. It's not the seven deadly days it's just the seven days of jams/gridlocks. Cars in endless jams/columns can involve in many heavy accidents.

What else could be zero emission? Same like the rich Arab countries that plaster the desert with cheap solar cells and produce electricity for about 1 Eurocent/kWh. With the enormous amount of solar energy available the low efficiency of electrolysis can be neglected.

I played around with the Google flights site. And cheap flights are also 23h or so with 2 stops. Cheapest I find in May/June is ANA+United via Tokyo and San Francisco (~44k Baht). Fastest flights are 16h with 1 stop but really expensive (~70k). That puzzles me a bit. West is via Europe or Arabia and much longer. 25 hour is the lower end.

I don't care about his appearance but wrote about his sick character.

I remember reading a lot about this clown here and in other media. It was quite a media wave some years ago. He speaks Thai very well and used that to make fools of Thai people on the street ("prank" style). Proving how stupid and uneducated they are. Can't find a good word for him.

The other part of Songkran victims. It's not only traffic. Just read the "childhood friend" stabbed to death story. Alcohol and hooliganism don't mix well.

Much overblown reporting. Being presented with a password hash without any context, what can AI do more than brute force crackers? The graphics though is useful. Length counts, over complex pw is not necessary, <A-Z><a-z><0-9> suffices with proper length >= 16. sTpxehc2jZVForutdY is better than .>,,{}:* in any category. Of course the long one is created by PWTech. AI can know as much about me as possible and still what's the difference. There is a recent thread where PWs were discussed.
