Re: Baltimore Bridge collapse

I suspect the Captain tried everything but was unable to do a damn thing, sort of like a slow motion film . And I believe there was at least one harbor pilot on board. Further to my post above re pylon engineering:- The bridge rests on four supports, two of which sit each side of the navigable wate...

"The pylons should have been reinforced!"
Get real
Wake up!
Modern bridge pylons are designed to deflect a wayward vessel not absorb an impact as is in the case where the water way is subject to drifting ice.

Re: Baltimore Bridge collapse

A container ship loses propulsion and steering while leaving port on a falling tide (current from astern) and allides with a bridge pier causing the bridge to collapse, and it's Biden's fault? I hope you're voting for RFK. I'm thinking they are referring to a comment the original design engineer ma...

Re: Baltimore Bridge collapse

Frightening! Hard to imagine what it would have been like, as a motorist, having something like that suddenly collapsing from under you!
The 47-year-old bridge has now been closed to traffic
Now that's a quote!

Re: Bank Account(s)

Good question, one could guess that so long as you have 2 x 12 Month Statements and 2 x Letters your OK = logical. BUT TiT so a trip to the Imm office maybe required. No guarantees that what they tell you this year will apply to next.

Re: Big increase in air fares

You probably qualify for the free shuttle bus service to DMK, I’ve used it a couple of times once I was the only passenger. If you don’t qualify you will probably only have waisted 5 minutes checking. Just need proof of forward travel from Don Muaeng. I have used the shuttle on many occasions, easi...

Re: Big increase in air fares

Yesterday we tried 3 travel agents in Pattaya for a w/way ticket to UTH. First one quoted 3900 Baht. Second quoted 5000 baht. Called Thai and they quoted 5500 baht. Put phone down and went back to the first agent. She looked on line and told us " price go up to 5000 Baht", Then she said"No seats le...

Re: ICE THIEVES

Does trying to charge for ice make good business sense? I don't think so. A bag of ice delivered is what - 40/50 Baht = the profit from one or two alcoholic drinks. Better off having a table full of happy customers than just a grumpy one, bitter and twisted after being charged for a little bit of ic...

Re: Liquids on airlines

<snip> So if carrying bottles of liquid from duty free onto the plane you must buy in the last stop before your destination. It has been this way for all the flights I have taken, possibly in the high hundreds. Or buy it at your port of arrival as most international airports have a walk through dut...

Re: Google Chrome VERY slow

As I stated in the OP W10 is fully updated.

Checked both Notebooks this morning using TestMy.net. Even worse result. :-k

I've uninstalled Chrome, completed a registry clean and reinstalled without any improvement. Looks like I'll stay with FF for a while.

Re: Train Station Parking

Convoluted enquiry ????
As far as I know one can just park their car anywhere in that area (black and white curb) and just walk away from it.
The only secured parking is about 200 metres toward the Bangkok Hospital which they used during renovations.

As I said (post #3) FF works fine but it just bugs me as to why Chrome suddenly decided to hang up.

Thinking of uninstalling it, do a registry clean, then reinstall.
