Linear actuators? Quality criteria? Where to buy?
I think about building a TV stand with linear actuators. The idea is that the TV is near the floor when it is not used and is pushed about 80cm up vertically if I want to watch it. I would build such a stand with aluminium profiles 3030 or similar. The TV weights 20kg. According to AI two actuators with each 200N should do the job. I looked in Lazada and they have i.e. this model. This is up to 450mm long, maybe that is good enough for me and I can use two on each side. JS-TGZ-U1 Linear Actuator Electric DC Motor 30mm/s 300N 12VDC IP45 Actuator | Lazada.co.th Cost for the 450mm version is 1,173THB. I am familiar with electronics, Arduino, etc. I am sure I will be able to wire them up and remote control them. Did anybody here use those things before? What are the quality criteria? If I want to use these in average not even 10 times per day, is this "Made in China" good enough? Any ideas and suggestions are welcome. -

Medicare v Private Health Insurance - Different strategies - Are you covered?
The topic of relying on Medicare in Australia for major medical treatment, versus private health insurance, either in Thailand, or Australia, has been raised in the Aged Pension Thread, which off topic in that thread. Two members have suggested starting a specific thread on the topic. The below is not a poll, just some questions that may categorize members, and perhaps they can explain why they have chosen their particular strategy. 1) Do you have private health insurance covering you in Thailand? 2) Do you have private health insurance in Australia? 3) Do you have private health insurance in both Thailand and Australia? 4) Are you uninsured? 5) Are you self insured, or self funded? If I have missed an option, feel free to post it. I have private health insurance in Australia, and in Thailand. I have openly stated I do not have faith in the public Medicare system in Australia to properly treat me, and in a timely manner. The main reasons for this is you do not get to chose your doctor, so you could get someone very inexperienced, or not as competent, and the waiting list for elective surgery being years for some operations. I know I can not claim on the Australian private health insurance policy inside Australia. My strategy is, if I need some type of elective surgery, like a knee or hip replacement, I will fly back to Australia, get a top surgeon, and my own room in a private hospital, and the operation will be done within days, or weeks. The insurance company will pick up most of the bill. There may be a "gap" to pay, which I am prepared for. Should I have a motorbike accident in Thailand, for example, and need emergency treatment, to the point I can not board a plane, then I take my chances with what doctor I get in Thailand, and the insurance company pays the bill here. So, I am in group 3. -

You are not very good at prediction. I guess you "predict" Kamala to be the next POTUS too. Don't or she will loose. -

I Love Donald Trump
Exactly who needs Taylor Swift, the heads of the armed forces, major public servants, senior Republicans even...... ....when you have this character endorsing you...... Snoop Dogg has faced various legal issues throughout his career. Here’s a summary of some key incidents: ### 1. **1993: Murder Charges** - **Incident**: In 1993, Snoop Dogg and his bodyguard were involved in a shooting that resulted in the death of a rival gang member, Philip Woldemariam. - **Outcome**: Snoop was charged with murder but was later acquitted after a lengthy trial in 1996. His bodyguard claimed self-defense, and Snoop was eventually cleared of all charges. ### 2. **1997: Marijuana and Firearm Possession** - **Incident**: Snoop Dogg was arrested for possession of marijuana and an illegal firearm in a car parked outside his home. - **Outcome**: He received a fine and probation. ### 3. **2001: Drug Possession** - **Incident**: Snoop was caught with marijuana again at an Ohio airport. - **Outcome**: He was fined and given community service. ### 4. **2006: Heathrow Airport Arrest** - **Incident**: Snoop Dogg and his entourage were involved in a brawl at London's Heathrow Airport, leading to his arrest on charges of violent disorder and starting a disturbance. - **Outcome**: He was banned from British Airways and later accepted a caution for the incident. ### 5. **2006: Drug and Weapon Charges** - **Incident**: In 2006, Snoop was arrested multiple times, including one for possession of a deadly weapon (a collapsible baton) at a California airport and another for drug and gun possession after a traffic stop in Burbank, California. - **Outcome**: He was fined, given probation, and required to perform community service. ### 6. **2012: Norway Ban** - **Incident**: Snoop Dogg was detained at a Norwegian airport for possession of marijuana. - **Outcome**: He was fined and temporarily banned from entering Norway for two years. I guess you would want to him inside the tent. -

Horrible Offensive Trump Commercial
Not to be flippant about mental health (indeed a serious issue) but judging by the shrill and, frankly, hysterical tone of your posts are you sure your 'mental breakdown' episode is over? PM me if you need to talk. -

Not-on-Tinder: I met some super nice guy yesterday in CM. A man with some class! Amazing.
Firstly Tinder is not for guys meeting guys- that’ll be Grindr. Secondly, I suspect you are struggling because everyone you meet gets bored to death by your pseudo intellectual rants that veer off on the most frustrating of tangents. Myself included. -

@DrJack54 Why did you delete my post asking "when?" and then add it to your own post? (as an aside, do mods/admins posts not show as edited?) -

Moustached Man Refuses to Leave Women's Restroom, Citing Gender Identity
Gay people are unlikely to want to "mutilate" their genitals to make a fantasy come real. On the contrary, it is often "heterosexuals" who are proponents of fetish sex. Homosexual men are attract to other men and want to have sexual relations with MEN. Lesbians are attracted to other women and want to have sexual relations with WOMEN. Transgenders have their own preferences. Very few gay men want to be women. They are fond of the penis and want to keep theirs. -

White Culture
This nonsense was trotted out before, to attack the quality of German goods in the 19th century, when Germans were copying British products. As it turned out Germans were better at making products than the British and BMW now own Rolls Royce. It is already apparent that the same applies to Asian products made in China, and Chinese innovations will far exceed anything the British, Americans or Germans came up with. They are already filing more patents than the Americans. -

Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants with sexual assault, murder convictions roaming US
Thanks for mentioning those historical events ! I was curious how much time the Lefts media friends would devote towards Reporting ( Ice Letter) the dangerous events that have occurred under the current administration . Both ABC's "World News Tonight," and the "CBS Evening News" failed to mention any of the findings that ICE presented in a letter to Congress this week that was reported by a variety of other outlets on Friday. They simply covered Vice President Kamala Harris’ trip to Arizona’s border with Mexico and touted her policy proposals for immigration. Only NBC News' evening newscast mentioned the letter, though it didn’t cover the entire scope of the findings – only reporting that "more than 13,000 migrants previously convicted of homicide are currently free inside the US”. https://www.yahoo.com/news/network-evening-newscasts-barely-mention-153134974.html https://www.yahoo.com/news/more-13-000-immigrants-convicted-153000647.html
