Solar Jack Knife Switch Question
Switching DC can be problematic, I suspect that the simple knife switch is going to be the "best" solution. Generally, you can switch DC with an AC rated switch if you stay below 10% of the AC rated voltage, so your 600V knife switch is just about there. There are rotary switches that should do the trick, if you can find 600V (or DC rated) ones, but they tend to be pretty tight to turn 😞 How about using a couple of DC solid-state relays wired to a small toggle switch, easy to operate, easy enough for a competent DIYer to implement? -

Greenland
The OP is clearly trolling as no one can be this stupid, and that goes for tje rest of you agreeing with him. China has a clear indebt and control strategy. Sri Lanka lost its primary shipping port to China for 99 years when they failed to repay a debt. China has already proposed building two airports in Greenland. As pointed out by others it would be easy for China to enrich the sparse population. Enrich then control. Unbelievably Denmark encouraged Chinese investment in the airports. Tell me, which one of you clowns wants China to control an airport that can strike Europe and North America? The USA doesn't and Trump killed the notion stone dead last time. Denmark has announced $1.5 billion for Greenland defence, a contribution to Arctic and NATO security. They even admitted that they had neglected their responsibilities and realized that the USA would never allow Russia or China to gain military access to the island. They know if that was a possibility any US President would annex the place. So this is already a win for Trump. It cost him nothing to warn the Danes they better get their act together. And you can look forward to annual exercises at yes newly funded airport by USAF. Trump might well do something stupid in the next four years. This is not it. -

Body scan on international arrival
Slightly irritated by two of the comments in particular the one with "Friend" in inverted commas please let me explain. My " friend" is an eighty three year old lady with arthritis in both shoulders. She was scared that the officers might not understand her inability to lift her arms and not understand her refusal to do so. Previously she has only flown to Europe and how Asian airports work and the possible lack of English was a matter of considerable concern. Her son Googled the question. The first AI answer there was wrong. I have a small for fun bet on the question. Thank you to those who actually answered the question sensibly. I shall pass on the information. -

A Christmas Story
Live and live? How many murders have been reported just this week, Thai on Thai? Just because there are Thai on Thai murders here, no different than in any country, doesn't negate the fact that the general attitude is one of "live and let live." Coming from the West that attitude was a marked difference that was obvious at once to me when I first came here. People here tend to mind their own business, very much unlike the west. Unless, of course, you're getting either robbed, beaten, stabbed or otherwise assaulted in broad daylight on a busy street. That's about the only time Westerners seem to be strict about minding their own business. Perhaps I shouldn't generalise by referring to the entire West. Since my experience is chiefly American I can say that it certainly applies to America.- 1
