Australian Aged Pension
Just to be clear, I'm only talking about these 6 years counting in the 35 years for application for OAP (nothing to do with ongoing portability as I will sell my unit then). I do not believe Centrelink will ask how many months a year did I spend out of Australia 'on holiday' during those 6 years to determine how many of those years should count towards the 35 years. To me it's clear that all 6 years count as I was clearly an Aussie citizen and tax resident that just happened to do a lot of holidays in retirement. -

EV Collision Kills Bank Employee in Samut Songhram
The BYD dolphin does have safety features that was supposed to prevent this accident. They are: Automatic Brake Assist (AEB) Lane Departure Warning System (LDW) Lane Keeping Assist System (LKS) Intelligent speed control system (ICC) Front Collision Warning System (FCW) Rear Collision Warning System (RCW) I do know that some of them can be disabled, and some can't. Would need to check with the dolphins owners 🙂 Edit: I think I'm wrong, it needs to have some Emergency Brake assist, not the Warning System. The Toyota fortuner does has emergency brake assist, it saved me one time from rear ending someone. Just once in 5 years! there is always a first -

Thailand Delays Automated Entry System for Foreign Tourists
The ETA exists primarily so they can deny boarding to the aircraft to save lots of time when the people who will be denied entry arrive in Thailand. It's the same with all similar schemes, the USA started this mess and tit for tat diplomacy has seen it spread all over the world now. Lets not fool ourselves for even one minute - this entire system is designed to automate the denial of entry of people they don't want to allow into the country by stopping them from getting on flights heading to Thailand. I'm glad this doesn't appear to affect people who hold visas. -

Yes, prices went down since a while. Five days ago I've ordered a new Deco Double Ace, down from 79.900 THB to 60.640 THB. -

Smart Home automations - anybody using?
Light needs cables. In the moment I use lots of LED strips with 24V and LED controllers. Years ago, I would probably have used 5V. Maybe in the future it makes sense to use 48V, or whatever. There are many levels of home automation, from the change of one or a few light bulbs to everything. My condominium is ready for "everything". Will I need all my empty pipes which allow low voltage power cables, LAN cables and control cables everywhere? Probably not. But now I use already some of them and I have almost unlimited possibilities. I like that - and I like to play around with things like that. -

Thailand Delays Automated Entry System for Foreign Tourists
They are going to have to significantly improve processing times for the evisa system before they try implementing. I come to Thailand for 5.5 to 6 months each winter. It took 8 weeks to get an METV last year and 7 weeks the year before. I'm already closing in on 5 weeks this year with no response yet, and getting really frustrated with the system. Agents are telling you to wait until 1 month before arrival to book a condo rental, but you need accomodations confirmed before they will issue the evisa. Total disconnect. Also, how is this going to work for people doing border runs on the visa exempt system if you have to get your application submitted 1.5 to 2 months before doing your border run? -
