  1. Now I'm really confused as to which is the original.
  2. If you're referring to the following article, it's more about govt censorship and their blocking of access to the Internet rather than a worldwide Internet shutdown. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/internet-shutdowns-don-t-make-anyone-safer-1.1268141
  3. Forum is working fine for me. No issues with speed or loading of pages.
  4. While sitting at Billabong a while ago noticed the cat wandering around. He/she made the mistake though of wandering into Time Bar only to be chased out by some guy with a stick. Obviously not a cat lover.
  5. One day short of a week since they had the forms in and the concrete truck shows up. To my uneducated eye it seems odd they would start the concrete pour at the end of the form rather than in the middle. Not easy to see in the pic below but there's a "hill" in the concrete about a 1/3 of the way down which is preventing the new concrete from flowing to the farthest end. Wonder if any of the workers will notice before they send the truck away. I'm also wondering what they hope to accomplish with this project, other than lining someone's pocket. It's basically a big box wit
  6. What's strange about the drilling they did is in some spots, after drilling they dug a trench in its place. My inexperienced guess is it would have been more expedient to just dig a trench rather than messing around with drilling. The one exception is across the 2nd Rd, Klang intersection, which is what they have done and as a result there was minimal traffic disruption. I didn't snap a pic, but did notice today they were feeding rope through the underground conduits in the part under the intersection. They'll then use the rope to pull the cable through. As @Bob Belzy posted, they'll
  7. Easy R-Con open sewer, never ending project update. Concrete forms going in, so probably another week before they get around to pouring concrete. On a side note: Grabbed a bite to eat at Easy R-Con yesterday evening when I heard the pumps kick in. Short time later I was getting good whiffs of the stench from the open sewer. Enough so I had to move to the far side of the bar for fresh air. Over on 2nd Rd we see typical Thai lack of forethought at work. The trench that was dug to bury the overhead cables was filled in, then cemented over. But now they're back, breaking up the concre
  8. Easy R-Con, slow going open sewer project. They are certainly taking their sweet time completing this project. On the 14th I snapped a pic of concrete forms going in on the rear half. Yesterday I noticed a cement truck on site, so a little more than a week to get around to the cement pour. Today, not exactly a beehive of activity.
  9. Beach Rd palm trees are getting wrapped in decorative LED strip lighting.  Excavators onsite repairing damage from Wednesday morning's storm. They better not go too far as the next storm is on the horizon.
  10. Council estates are British public housing. I lived in Nirum for 2 1/2 years. Only reason I moved was I wanted something with move living space, but for those that are happy with smaller living space and low rent prices Nirun is a fine choice. And as for the comment "I would be looking over my shoulder constantly at 2am for sure", I call BS on that. Never once felt threatened walking around Nirun no matter what the time of day.
  11. There's a big project underway to move the overhead electric underground. https://news.lovepattayathailand.com/local/work-begin-burying-electrical-cables-pattaya-february-19/ When they start work on Buakhao it's really going to make a mess of the traffic on that soi. Hopefully they do the smart thing and make Buakhao one way until the work is done. Better still, leave it one way after the project is done.
  12. Easy R-Con open sewer progress as of this morning. 2nd Rd work to move overhead cables underground. Still working on the footings at the construction site on 3rd Rd near Klang. No word on what's going in at the now closed M-Club, but they're doing a lot of work on the site.
  13. Work continues on the Easy R-Con open sewer. Looks like they're doing this in stages. Section closest to Buakhao is now filled in and now they've dug out the next section.
  14. I like adventure, but think I would give this one a miss.
  15. ^^^ I'll have to give the Bosch series a look. But what I'd really like to know, how was the Waffles & Fried Chicken?
  16. Looks like they're finally getting around to backfilling the open sewer. Assuming this is an access shaft to the below ground storm water line, why is it full of water. We haven't had rain for over a week, so I would expect the storm water line to have a minimum amount of water in it. Certainly not this much.
  17. I used Nam's Taxi Service last month and can confirm the rates on her site, while a year old, are correct. Price includes tolls. Highly recommend Nam's service.
  18. More to do with higher than anticipated levels of stress at bolt and rivet holes. Window shape misconception[edit] The accident report's use of the word "window" when referring to the Automatic Direction Finding (ADF) aerial cutout panel[121] has led to a common belief that the Comet 1's accidents were the result of its having square passenger windows. In fact, Comet 1's cabin windows were very similar in shape, with similar corner radii, to those of the Boeing 377 and Douglas DC-7,[122] both of which were pressurised aircraft. The windows in Northwest Airlines' B-377 were in fact lar
  19. I remember too MM posting about driving himself to the hospital while having a heart attack. Found the post. Hope all goes well for you @midlifecrisis.
  20. Looks like Tree Town is getting another row of bars or shops.
  21. The concrete pad across from soi 13/1 has a definite tilt to it now. Seaside edge that was once even with the drain channel has now sunk a good 10cm.
  22. The delay on 2nd Rd is due to work on moving the overhead utility cables underground. Posted last week was a pic of them disassembling and removing the drill.
  23. Not really sure. That area of Buakhao is prone to flooding, so perhaps they're improving the storm water drainage. Previously I posted the following pic of the plans. Perhaps someone that can read Thai could translate.
