Keir Starmer’s EU Reset: A Strategy Built on Falsehoods
Gaslighting from you, if you look you will see many comments from me on threads on visas. where can I buy a a...? since 2003, whereas you have made 30,000 comments in a couple of years and only in the political/news threads. Do you even live in Thailand? No I didn't try registering under a different name because it wasn't that big a deal to me whether I commented or not. Politics is your life, I was apolitical until I saw the orchestrated propaganda campaign in 2016 for UK to accept "families fleeing war". I never liked the Left because of the kind of people they are, but actually do not reject all their ideas - I have benefited in my life from things put in place by a Labour Govt. -

Smart Home automations - anybody using?
I have WiFi smart plugs with energy monitoring sensors. They work fine, though I don't care about energy monitoring my devices. The trick is to use LocalTuya, not the default Tuya integration. -

Smart Home automations - anybody using?
FWIW, my home is Zigbee, Z-wave, HomeKit, and Matter free. 100% WiFi, with at least 40 various devices now. I know a lot of people swear by Zigbee, but the advantages it offers are minor, at least for my home. Any hardware I need is available in a WiFi version. Worst case for me - I'm quite fine with WiFi sensors that take 2 seconds to go online whenever they are triggered. These technologies also all require additional hardware which I knew was just going to complicate things further down the line. Also, some of these protocols, such as Zigbee, can be vendor specific - there is constantly a lot of discussion online about which zigbee router works with which devices and which it doesn't. No thanks. My objective was to make home automation simpler, not get more technical - that's just gonna make a bigger beast to tackle when things go wrong later. I had a Matter LED strip controller, so I installed a Matter software router. The controller was buggy as hell, so I dumped it and installed a much cheaper Tuya Wifi version - works perfectly. I have a HomeKit Yale lock. Had to move a HomePod speaker close enough to the door to get the lock to go online. It worked 95% of the time, but with a 2 to 3 second lag. That 5% tho....grrrr. Made a $3 ESP32 bluetooth proxy which covers the entire house and now the lock is super responsive and uptime is 100%. -

Smart Home automations - anybody using?
Likewise all my devices use WiFi, however my WiFi smart plugs are shown as unsupported for energy monitoring. I can still use them to schedule when they are on, but I get no power monitoring. A discussion on GitHub said that zigbee works for power monitoring and it does. -

Welcome to the club, stat. He seems to put people on his ignore list when he's presented with a question he can't answer, or is presented with a position contrary to his. Keep up your valuable contributions to this forum.- 1

Is Thailand Value for money
I could say exactly the same thing about you.................... " No one believes NY Pizza and cheese burgers are healthy foods. Just you." I don't obsess about anything besides music and hunting and fishing. You assume what I know, and what others think. I know what professional nutritionists have said. there's a difference. -

S/E Asian Thai Consulates going to eVisa online system effective Tuesday Oct 8th
ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS; The following Thai consulates in S/E Asia will go to online eVisa applications ONLY starting the 8th of Oct. They will discontinue any walk up/in person visa applications at that time. Actually some of them stopped accepting in person applications already and have consular services closed until they open on the eVisa system on Tuesday Vietnam - Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City Malaysia - Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Kota Bharu Cambodia - Phnom Penh The follow consulates are still walk up consulates (they will not be changing to eVisa at this time) BUT you need to book an appt online to get in the gate Lao - Vientiane, Savannakhet Burma - Yangon The following consulates are walk up consulates no appt needed Indonesia - Jakarta Taiwan - Taipei Philippines - Manila You have to physically be IN the country whose thai consulate you are using on the eVisa system. Also the consulates that used to sell year/multi-Non-O's will no longer be able to seeing as that is NOT a choice on the eVisa system (so anyone thinking of going to HCMC or Savannakhet for year/multi Non-O think again 😕 ) -

Is Thailand Value for money
Did I say Erythritol was okay? No, I never use it. I do use Splenda and Equal, limited. I don't eat "crap", and if pizza, burgers, scampi and lasagne, cooked healthy style, are crap to you, you know absolutely nothing about good nutrition. What I say might be weird to you, but that's because you don't understand nutrition like i do, and perhaps go by what a few of your friends have said and not researched about nutrition for 50 years like i have. "No one believes NY pizza and burgers are healthy? How many people do you actually know that know anything about nutrition? I know many, and have read countless books and articles about food for years. But I guess they are all nonsense also. There are countless articles written about the health benefits of certain foods. Do like I do. Look them up. I'm not shoving anything down anyone's throat. I just tell things as they are. it's up to people what they choose to eat. I know what's healthy, and what's not. I give advice and it's always helped. Positive feedback is a clue.Thailand does have some things that are a good value for the money, and much is a complete waste of money, especially building houses and repairing electrical supplies, and fixing roads , where they are years behind the west. -

Urine infection
So as I suspected, there is nowhere in the bible where drinking urine is recommended. In fact just the opposite. So where did that weirdo get his sick ideas from? On second thoughts I really rather not know -

Where to buy Kefir grains ?
Thanks for the replies. I'm in BKK and have ordered off Lazada. Delivery only took about 36 hours ! I came to the conclusion that any quality concerns regarding the product were unlikely to be addressed and for 5 months of use (until I get back to the uk) there was no need to overthink the issue. Setting up the brew now. 🙂
