“New Zealand’s disastrous failed attempt at #zerocovid continues to be a warning message to the world,” one Swede wrote sarcastically.

Also vaccination is NOT claimed to prevent infection, just moderate to severe disease. What will be interesting is if he passed the infection on to anyone else. If he did it's going to put a question mark against the "vaccinated, free to travel".

Same as Australia. Shots are free, but you can't choose which vaccine.

Thanks, interesting. You can buy them off the shelf now. DJI FPV (first person view) puts you in the pilot's seat. Save going out on the bike to check the reservoirs. Just fly the drone. https://www.banggood.com/DJI-FPV-Combo-10KM-1080P-FPV-4K-60fps-150-FOV-Camera-20mins-Flight-Time-140-km-or-h-Speed-FPV-Drone-RC-Quadcopter-FPV-Goggles-V2-5_8GHz-Transmitter-Mode2-p-1817652.html?utm_design=18&utm_source=emarsys&utm_medium=mail_21Springsale03_fridayc&utm_campaign=newsletteremarsys&utm_content=elaine&sc_src=email_4772679&sc_eh=992f2f4d3e24719c1&sc_llid=1167713&sc_lid=202786052&sc_uid=Cm1LyQONnt&southeast=TH&DCC=TH&currency=USD&cur_warehouse=CN

So only the knuckles of your right hand drag along the ground?

A single take, no edits, although 11 or 12 attempts.

Uh-oh. NSW Health has confirmed a hotel quarantine worker has tested positive for coronavirus. It is the first locally acquired case in New South Wales in 55 days. Stephen Conaty from NSW Health said the person had worked in two Sydney hotels with returned overseas travellers. "The source of the new infection reported overnight is under investigation and urgent genome sequencing is underway," Dr Conaty said. NSW Health would not provide any further information on the hotel worker, however Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the individual had received their first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination. Hotel quarantine workers were among those considered high priority for vaccination which commenced 22nd February although the date of the individual's vaccination has not been released. Update. The worker had his first dose of Pfizer on 2nd March.

Just remember, debloating is not a set and forget. Every W10 "feature update", twice a year, will reinstall all that you remove. Other updates may also reinstall PUPs.

Wouldn't happen with an Android phone.

I think the only Secrets "haters" are the jealous ones who weren't a part of a pretty good forum for most of the time, although it did go into decline a bit towards the end. Go on, start the thread "When Larry met Jambo", if nothing else you can take the piss out of Tommy D. Don't forget the goat.

Gin up.

I'm sure there is, whether is been translated into English is another matter. On another forum we had a BM, Australian electrical engineer, who while in Australia designed power systems no doubt to AS/NZS 3008 (the Australian/New Zealand standard for wiring). But during the 1990s he worked in Thailand designing the electrical power systems for AIS cell base stations. He would no doubt know but he didn't come across to this forum. Meanwhile, here's a link to a cable calculator. Again, it is built around AS/NZS 3008 but it requires a few more parameters than just the required current. Parameters like length of run, maximum permissible voltage drop, cable insulation type, cable mounting, ambient temperature etc. https://www.jcalc.net/cable-sizing-calculator-as3008 Enjoy.

Mini cruise liners, great idea.

Wont bother me, of the Unilever products I use I go for the abnormal ones. I suppose 18-35 yo group bitching about something is the new ******.

Disclaimer: I am not an electrician or electrical engineer. The following is presented for educational purposes only. BM @Proffesor presented a “rule of thumb” for sizing electrical cables. IMO the ROT is a bit generous and while there is nothing wrong with over-sizing cables, copper costs money. There is everything wrong with under-sizing a cable. The following is extracted from a cable manufacturer’s specifications for cables complying with AUS/NZ wiring standards. https://www.olex.com.au/eservice/Australia-en_AU/fileLibrary/Download_540225217/Australia/files/OLC15984 Handbook July 2016 FA V3 LR.pdf If we take the third row down, a cable (2 core plus earth) of 2.5mm2 the first column on the left shows a value of 27 amps. The little picture above indicates that’s the value for the cable in free air. The next value to the right shows the current if the cable is fixed to a flat surface, it’s de-rated by 1 amp to 26 amps. Moving from left to right the lowest rating is if the cable is surrounded by thermal insulating material as might happen in a ceiling or roof space with thermal insulation. In that case the cable is de-rated by over half. Any voltage drop along the cable run manifests itself as heat. The cable in free air, maximum heat dissipation, a cable buried in thermal insulation, minimum heat dissipation. While any heat build-up may not be sufficient to start a fire it may be sufficient to soften the cable insulation allowing the conductors to touch each other either arcing or creating a short circuit. The arcing or short circuit will start the fire. The column at the far right is the voltage drop expressed in millivolts per amp per metre. AUS/NZ wiring rules permit a maximum of 5% voltage drop between the main distribution board and the appliance( when switched on). Unless you want to try and find the Thai wiring regulations it’s probably not a bad value to use. Motors. While small motors, domestic refrigerator, washing machine etc, generally aren’t a problem large motors, whole of premise airconditioner etc, can be. A motor on startup can have an inrush current of 20 times the running current for a split second and perhaps 6-8 times the running current for several seconds. If the voltage drop along the cable during startup is high enough the motor might just stall until either the breaker trips, the motor burns out or the wiring catches fire and the problem is solved. Motor circuits need careful consideration. Any calculations need to take into consideration the actual premise. Some websites say the nominal voltage in Thailand is 220V others say 230V. I’ll guarantee that very few premises receive either. When I was living there, a couple of houses further down the soi had an industrial sewing machine and during the early morning they were no doubt knocking out the knockoff handbags they were going to sell that day. During the bursts of sewing activity my UPS kept tripping in at about 180V. First place to start is to know what you supply voltage is like and also the capacity (in amps) of the lead-in cable. An Android app that works for me is CalcWiz https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.don.calcwizlite Helps design cable runs. Make sure you get the free version. (Ignore the reviews which say the free version is too expensive). Another long answer to the same short question.

Plan B - Smoking.

True. I just wanted to avoid having to post 29,696,250 Americans mauled by grizzlies, 537,838 didn't make it.

Over 400,000 Americans killed by grizzlies last year.

A pair of wannabe internet influencers. Who gives a flying fuk?

From memory, the shower water heaters I had had a built-in RCD/ELB (with a check operation button for testing). Similar to this example. http://www.fec-corp.com/product-detail/wh-x-hot6/4

You forgot the diced bacon, stir an egg through it as it's cooking, brown up some blanched almonds/raw cashew and add along with some cajun spice. I cook it all the time. PS. I use chicken thighs, breast goes a bit rubbery when you reheat (microwave) the frozen meals.

Had my fair share of burgers from there over the years.

I'd get an air quality measuring device first so you know what you are trying to improve and/or can measure if you are improving it. One thing I didn't mention in my earlier post. Area vs volume. Purifier manufacturers are happy to claim "suitable for X sqm but you might have to dig into the specs to see what volume of air they process in an hour. Some air purifiers include an activated charcoal stage so they remove fumes/gases as well as particulate matter. When did you last replace the filter element in the aircon, they don't last forever. Air purifiers available from Power Buy, might give you some idea of what you're looking form https://www.powerbuy.co.th/en/air-care/air-treatment/air-purifiers

A passenger plane was forced to make an emergency landing when an “aggressive” stray cat came from nowhere and wreaked havoc in the cockpit. A Sudanese passenger plane was forced to turn back and make an emergency landing after a stray cat attacked the pilot. Local media report the incident occurred last week, when a Tarco flight was 30 minutes into a trip from the Sudanese capital of Khartoum to Doha. The bizarre incident saw a reportedly “aggressive” cat appear in the cockpit and attack the pilot as other crew struggled to catch it. https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/incidents/stray-cat-hijacks-tarco-airlines-flight-forcing-emergency-landing/news-story/5621d5b8993840039204da3eac45de23
