No, you can't change it.   The newer version of the software doesn't permit it.  

Maybe worth quoting that in "bold" on the header as in the past folk fooled around with that stuff...

Some good candidates on that list and one great one. But ladies and gentlemen, ask yourselves who YOU would trust when that phone rings at 2AM with a global emergency...?

You mean when Porntip calls me at 2 am with special needs?  How did you know about her?

Oh dear, Tranny, you don't suppose another contestant has taken a page from VillageFarang's old POTY playbook and stolen your beloved cat (what is his name), just as VF stole Mr. Bitey during the 2015 POTY contest, holding him prisoner under the control of his drooling golden retriever.  Fortunately, Hubby was able to use the top-notch orienteering and woodsman skills he learned as a member of the top secret BSA organization to save Mr. Bitey from VF's Chiang Rai house, in a field, in a valley with a view.  

 

Can you post a photo of your cat?  Time to get some cat photos into this contest.  

NancyL don't you think there could be a chance the cat might actually win??

no investment research on weekends when the kitchen is exclusively mine and i can compose undisturbed culinary delicacies listening to classical music of Verdi or Puccini.

I like the wholemeal Verdi,

Kudos to the management for removing dave2  (deceased) from the final voting and awarding him an HONORARY POTY title instead.

 

Yes, he would have easily won the voting, but that would have sucked any potential excitement from the process. 

 

Too bad though really that SUPERSIZED alien foreign imported (not only not EXTREME vetted but not vetted at all) EMOJIS weren't banned from the contest posting as well! Maybe next year.

Don't take anything for granted. It's way early and the onslaught of supersized emojis and CHEESY / kitschy music videos has barely started.

I'm glad to see Transam is still at the top even though he's not got most votes.

I'm worried questions will be asked, though, if it stays that way

If so, I'm lucky.  If not, I sure hope Colinneil wins.  I may not agree with all his posts, but his fortitude in light of adversity is impressive.  Hats off to him.

I liked Transam's story about the cage being for the cat, and the dog just visiting...

Any man that covers up for his dog's dodgy past gets my vote.

 

Since the cat isn't standing... He's the real hero; "come on, son, do a runner, while you can.  I'll cover for you."

But the dog's not convinced, because he knows that once you owe a cat a favour...

I have no right to tell people.

I made a strong suggestion.

It's called CAMPAIGNING.

Take it or leave it, dear.

Speak for yourself.

 

Edit: I appreciate JT's well-thought-out and kindly charitable suggestions, and I don't want to wear my brain out at such a young age.  There's only so many thoughts you can think.

Yes, that's all good, but getting real, it's a three way vote and likely to remain that way. So a vote for Colinneil could easily be a vote for (ain't saying)!

      What is Trump really trying to tell us in his latest speech?

      End of missile testing and saber rattling against SK, good progress. Resumed hostile attitude under Biden, of course, and biggest ever launched recently.

      UK Pensioners in Thailand Face New Scrutiny Over Pension Fraud

      Sure they do, but it´s such a small amount anyway, so I don´t really care. I think it´s something getting affected or smaller when living abroad, but as I say. I don´t give a 5h1t. I have already build my life, so it makes me totally independent of any government money.

      Electric Vehicles in Thailand

      Yeap...even if we lived in a world where all DC chargers had BIG charging capability, like say at least 360KW, a person needs to consider the "charging curve" of any EV they plan to buy "if", repeat, if a HIGH charging rate/fastest possible charging time is a priority/top consideration as to whether you buy or not. Here's a real life example of how a vehicle's charging curve affects charging rate/speed. I own a 2023 Atto 3 Extended Range with 60.5KW battery and max charging rate of 89KW. But that charging rate is only achievable at a DC charger with at least 180KW capability where it will pump-out 90KW to each of its two DC outlet cables. Now of course a single connector DC charger with 90KW capability would work also but I haven't run across any such single outlet charger's yet with 90KW. The Atto's charging curve allows an approx 89KW max charging rate...and this max charging rate only occurs between approx 5% to 63%. Then from approx 64% to 85% the max rate allowed is approx 57KW... then from approx 86% to 99% the max rate allowed is approx 32KW.. and finally from 99% to 100% it tapers down to around16KW. Charging "steps"...a charging staircase so to speak is in affect. Note: and I have seen up to 89.1KW charging rate twice on my Atto when I was doing some DC charging "tests" at an EA Anywhere 180KW charger around 9 months ago. And that "very same charger" has since been downgraded from an 180KW charger to a 110KW charger with one 60KW outlet and one 50KW outlet. Don't know why EA Anywhere had to downgrade the charger's KW capability...maybe a power limitation of feeding power to it...maybe it had problems in trying to operated at 180KW. Maybe EA Anywhere swapped-out the charger's guts to a lower capacity but if they did they retained the charger's battle-scared cabinet (and cables) which still has the same cracked DC lights, scratches in certain places, and other visible marks that are easy to remember. A few weeks ago I went to above EA Anywhere charger to do a brief charging test so I could see the OBD2 data and found out this new 110KW configuration with DC cable 1 allowing 60KW max and the DC Cable 2 allowing 50KW max. I had to use DC Cable 2 since several motorcycles were parked in the DC Cable 1 space blocking its usage. Anyway, my Atto would not charge anywhere close to a 50KW rate since I was using the DC cable 2 which only allowed 50KW max. Why wouldn't it provide at least 50KW you may wonder? Since my Atto was already charged to approx 70% when starting the test where the EV allows up to a 57KW charge rate the charger could not provide more than 50KW "even if the EV allowed it." But since the EV was asking for 57KW but the charger would respond with "I can only give a max of 50KW...is that good enough?"....well, the EV was responding based on its charging curve design where 50KW is not one of its charging curve steps it must request the charger provide 32KW which is one of the EV's charging curve steps and the charger and EV agree to provide 32KW....the EV is now charging at 32KW because it's one of vehicle's allowed charging curve "steps" as shown in the Atto charging curve below. And a few days ago at another charger I used a single outlet ReverSharger 50KW charger (getting some free electrons) when the Atto was at around the 50% charge level and its charging curve would allow up to a 89KW charging curve step (or even a 57KW step) what the charger and EV ended up agreeing to was a 32KW rate since the charger could only provide 50KW max and couldn't satisfy a 89 or 57KW charging curve step so the charger ended up providing 32KW. Yeap....when evaluating an EV's advertised/hyped max charging rate be sure to take into considering the "charging curve" of the EV and available DC chargers to meet the requirements of the EV's charging curve. Buying an EV that has some HIGH charging max charging rate is not going to provide you much benefit if there are no or few DC charger's available that can meet that HIGH rate and/or the EV's charging curve is actually going to operate at some much lower charging rates for a lot of the EV's 0 to 100% charge range.
