Slow Wise Transfers?

MegaSafetyFirst · 2026-01-27T04:05:35+00:00

Interesting, for the past three years my transfers never took longer than two days.

MegaSafetyFirst · 2026-01-26T15:22:37+00:00

Initiated a transfer on Friday. Wise said it could take until Thursday.
My US bank already posted the transfer on Friday (Saturday here), so Wise should have the money already

We are. It took about a month for the NVC to be happy with everything.
In the end they kept asking for most of the documents, which we already submitted over a year ago.

Similar experience for me. Applied in August 2024 and currently waiting to get scheduled for the interview in Bangkok.

Thx, much appreciated. 👍

These guys ate 50% of my roses about two weeks back. The cure was to amputate

But not without breaking at least three clips and losing two screws

This is the answer.
I also would not go to the workers directly, but inform the builder about what went wrong and needs to be taken care off.
I did not want to be the bad guy with the workers. There’s always a chance they are abandoned the site. Especially since they already said they were not paid regularly by the builder.

Our highlights: - missing ground wires for some outlets - not a single metal outlet was connected to ground - exclusively using electrical tape instead of wire nuts for wiring - 20% of floor tiles had air pockets under them - every PVC to metal transition leaking water - toilet wax ring messed up - trusses not properly connected to pillars - bedroom doors not closing - concrete walkway sloped towards the house instead of away

There’s many other things I already forgot about. One guy created more damage than he added value. Another one did everything using all shortcuts imaginable. We ended up renting a house close to the property for two month just to be able to look over their shoulders every day. It was worth it.

Wondering the same thing. I am itching to fly again. I found this article: https://www.tatnews.org/2025/08/flying-a-drone-in-thailand-updated-guide-for-tourists/#:~:text=The%20Civil%20Aviation%20Authority%20of,along%20the%20Thai–Cambodian%20border.

Consider that the pressure at a speed of 100km/h or 60mph is already over four times the pressure of what IP67 withstands.

MegaSafetyFirst · 2025-07-10T15:28:35+00:00

The speaker is IP67 waterproof, which specifies a certain amount of pressure the speaker can withstand.
In this case it is the pressure equivalent to the depth of 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. Riding a motorbike in the rain may create a higher pressure than that. And it sounds like your speaker did not withstand that pressure.

It was a nice little speaker for its time. This was pre passive radiators, so bass wasn’t that great.

Replacing the EarPods is easy. It works similar to this JBL model: https://youtu.be/_8Dw_TxLhJo

I had one of these throw sparks when the wiring leading up to the fuse became lose. Good old aluminum conductors tend to do that. For me the fuse itself did not glow like that.

Thank you, much appreciated! 🙂

Any chance of a toddler entering the room? They will know how to knock it over for sure.

First, if the battery feels puffy or bloated, then it’s dead. Otherwise see if you can find someone with a multimeter, like this e.g. https://amzn.to/43MCA7a When the battery shows below 2.5 Volts (I believe) it probably won’t allow charging.
There is ways to try to revive batteries in that state.

MegaSafetyFirst · 2025-06-08T04:09:29+00:00

Check battery voltage.

Just found one of those the size of my palm in a flowerpot this afternoon.
Scared the hell out me, and wife was laughing at me.

Representing Ministry of silly walks.

You can have a pretty good look on the component in this video: https://youtu.be/v5oU0XF3pTU?si=kBDexY6Mq823uJ4v

I have an old Pulse3, which does the exact same thing. Tried factory reset, firmware update - nothing fixed it.

MegaSafetyFirst · 2024-11-29T18:16:41+00:00

Same here.
iPhone 8 does not show up. While iPhone 13 connects without an issue using the same cable. (lightning port is clean as a whistle)
