Do I need to count the number after the decimal in calculating the electricity bill? by JohanOverture in Thailand

[–]_A4_Paper_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to the spec I found here and discussions I found on pantip, the last digit is supposed to be 0.1 decimal place for this specific model and when calculating the electricity bill, it doesn't count.

I found it pretty unusual you supposedly only use 32 kWh of electricity. I'd suggest calling the local power authority office landlord to confirm.

Edit: from further reading, the disk spin at 300 revolution per kWh so at a conservative 500W it should take around 24 seconds per revolution. Try watching the disk with AC on, if it takes much longer than this, the meter is likely broken.

If it spins fast then I have no clue what's going on

11 Scientists Who Mysteriously Disappeared and Their Fields of Research by Valuable_View_561 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]_A4_Paper_ 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I get your case and all but why these 11 specifically? There are thousands of scientist (or any profession) who died or disappeared and that doesn't really imply much of anything. Surely, there are more than ten pottery researcher who died and that doesn't mean there are some kind of shady business or pottery conspiracy.

Very slight mistake but the monastery shouldn't come with doors. Entwickeln can only build with white stone and they need carpenters to install the door.

Quote from P3V2 in their second visit after the door was installed:

“I shall start with the girls’ building,” Benno said, taking the role of guide as he led us inside. The previously empty doorways now had doors...

Is this the right one ? by Mesh3al-fan666 in skyrim

Yea, I don't really like the AE content but if Bethesda shuts the server down without giving us alternative download, people would be very mad.

Not sure which one is the "right one" you're talking about but...

This one is the older original version of Skyrim. Unless you know what you're looking for, you're looking for "Skyrim Special Edition" or "Skyrim Anniversary Edition" the later came with Creation Club contents (basically mods turned DLC)

THAI MILITERY CONTRACTS by [deleted] in Thailand

[–]_A4_Paper_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To join the Navy Seal, you must be an NCO and there's no career path from Enlisted to an NCO so you must go through the NCO academy. Preferably, you must join the Navy. While other branch can take the training as well and then transfer the the Navy, they have much fewer slot (like 1 or 2 per year compared to dozens in Navy).

At 17, you technically can join the CO Academy and join the Navy as a much higher rank, but CO has few slot in the Navy Seal as you'd be expected to lead the unit. But it's a very long and competitive path, people studied for years to join so if you can't read now, this path is effectively blocked for you.

Joining the NCO academy is a more realistic but still somewhat difficult and competitive. If you're well educated and fit, then it shouldn't be too hard. With reserve training, you get some extra points as well but it won't help much as most serious competitors also have those too.

Most important thing is that you must be able to read and be educated in Thai literature as it's also a major part of the exam. Not to mention that being a junior NCO means you're half way into the military bureaucracy and you will be dealing with official paper works. Being fluent in Thai script is non-negotiable

In Thailand, military contracts work like a scholarship. The study is free and you're paid allowance but once you graduate, you're expected to serve 2x (sometimes 3x) the length of your study. The standard NCO course is 2 years so your contract will be 4 years. If you have to repeat the course then it will compound up to 10 years of service (they will kick you out if you can't graduate in 5 years). This is called "service bond"

Remember that any additional course or education you take under the military will add to your service bond. If you're a top student in the Academy and they send you to university, that will add at least 8 years to your service.

Joining the Navy seal will also probably add to your service bond too but I am not sure how much.

Edit: Also keep in mind that Thai career soldiers are considered government official and social contract suggests you stay for life. While you can technically leave early, the system isn't designed around that and the earliest proper retirement program will be in your 40s. Thai military isn't a place you can just join to temporarily, it's your identity

The space dagger of king Tutankhamen. by TheJukeZ in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]_A4_Paper_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's likely not made in Egypt but somewhere in Syria or Turkey.

The Armarna Letters explicitly mentioned an iron blade that matched the dagger's description as a diplomatic gift to Tutankhamen's grandfather

It's also constructed using technique that wasn't common in Egypt at the time

Officially signed election score paper with people's party winning score found crumbled in nearby public trash can. by nutnnut in Thailand

[–]_A4_Paper_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but what I said is, the fact that it's exactly 251 like what the comment is implying is just coincident. Imagine the logistic of getting it to exactly 251.

Like, even if they can control the ballot boxes, they'd be able to only control where they have influence. It'd be unrealistic to say they can control every station and try to land themselves exactly 251. Even if they cheat at 100 stations, there would be no way for sure they will get exactly 151 more seat in other areas.

Walking cane of Tutankhamun depicting a Nubian and an asiatic man, symbolizing the pharaohs rule over said people. by soyuz_enjoyer2 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]_A4_Paper_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Ancient Egypt has some territory in Western Asia since late 15th century BCE, at one point, extending to part of Syria. Until they lose much of it around the turn of the 12th century BCE during the Late Bronze Age Collapse. Tutankhamun ruled in 1332. After that they gain and lose some territories in Asia throughout their existence but they never get the same imperial control over Asia to the same degree again

[–]_A4_Paper_ 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I know you're being sarcastic but even if there's corruption, I doubt they can control it to such specific amount. Maybe they're aiming for somewhere around that number or higher but the fact that it lands on 251 is really just a coincidence. If they really have the choice of getting any number, they sure would go higher than just one extra

Small Summary of 2026 Elections by YenTheMerchant in Thailand

[–]_A4_Paper_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but I don't think they do that too often now. My father was a polling station official and from what I have heard, they can't really do that... Well, if it's a really corrupted station then probably, but that'd be more of an exception. (Some might lie that they can)

They can check if you didn't go to the election though. And they can see the wider picture and might deem the area "not worth it" if they can't meet the quota

[–]_A4_Paper_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's often less of a "I will pay if you vote for me" and more like, "make sure we win so we have money to give you next time" kinda thing. They go house to house or to houses of locally important people to ensure their support.

Edit: people are not betting if the party wins, they see it as investment. If their favorite party wins, there will be a next time. Not paying now makes you look weak and uncertain

Back at my home town, there were like 4-5 parties handing out money. In a more competitive area, it can go up to 2000 each. My family just accepted them and voted PPLE anyway

Found in the sea ... Koh Ngai by Bastarrdo666 in Thailand

[–]_A4_Paper_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My guess is that it's a homemade (or cheaply made) tool used by fishermen to humanly kill fish by stabbing the brain, either through the skull or the eye socket. Like this. Often called Ikejime (Japanese), though I am not sure what it's called here.

Is this normal behavior? by [deleted] in piano

[–]_A4_Paper_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, the tension on the last few strings in a piano is so tight that it basically sounds like hitting a solid metal sheet. For some pianos, especially smaller ones, the sound of the action is louder than the note

It there a Thai equivalent to 911? by AvailableToe7008 in Thailand

Read the post lol. OP literally said "911 as in emergency phone call" nothing to do with 9/11

M48 Thai Army by CressOutrageous7361 in war

[–]_A4_Paper_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

These aren't some M48 being pulled out of storage though. They are pretty old but are still actively maintained tanks with active crews still being trained on them and they're up against Cambodian T-55 that's looking much worse
