rented the ferrari a bit longer before buying the corolla

Nice post.I have a Gaggia Baby Twin bought it almost 7 years ago and still going strong with daily usage - I'd expect it to stand up to the usage you suggest - in fact I have seen them in use at busy coffee shops on the BTS concourses.
It's dual pump so it froths milk and makes excellent coffee - downside is that it is not fully automatic, the user has to know how to use it and maintain it (this is really just a case of knowing how to use it properly and running cleaning fluid through it every few months)
If your staff will be the ones actually making the coffee, I'd say it's a suitable reasonably priced quality solution - about 20k baht in Thailand. You'd also need a grinder, I have a Gaggia MDF the same age, probably another 7.5k here.
For reference, these are the steps:
- Turn coffee machine on to warm up
- Milk into jug, milk thermometer into milk
- Grind beans for about 25 seconds
- Beans in to coffee filter and tamped down
- By this time the machine will be warm, open steam wand to purge water from wand, close and then open again to trigger steam
- Steam the milk, making sure you place the wand to make froth well, watch the temp
- Put milk aside, purge water from wand again (important, not doing this will leave pressure in the pump and will over time break the pump)
- Portafilter in to machine, espresso shot glasses (or cup) under it, make coffee (should take about 27 seconds to be just right)
- Milk in, draw a little picture of a fern (optional), chocolate sprinkled on top,
- Empty portafilter, turn machine off, wash up
Quite a few steps but they become second nature and become a 3 minute job, and an automatic machine is going to cost a lot more..
The pods are nice, and obviously much simpler, but at a much higher ongoing cost - and they don't taste as good, and you're limited to pre made capsules instead of being able to select beans.
I've got a nespresso pod machine. I use it most days though lately I find the taste a little boring.
Think I'll upgrade to a gaggia set up similar to yours

Had new air conditioners installed 6 months ago in two rooms. Both going great until 3 weeks we didnt use because we went away, Came back and one wasnt cooling nearly enough like the other..
All it took was a filter clean and its cold as ice again,
Interestingly it was the inside filter that was chock full of dirt after only 6 months.

I guess nobody's here has ever seen a wood chipper before. There's no pushing involved. Just feed in the tip and the rest gets sucked in. Likely the same happened here. Hand gets caught and I just pulled his body in. And no its not instantaneous death.. Its inch by inch in you go.
Words cant describe how bad a way to go it would be.
I wonder if the owner will go to court for not having a barrier/guard in place?

i just abuse the clutch in 2nd gear when splitting lanes in BKK. So parts are so cheap im not really fussed.

You forgot to mention the part about sprinkling gunpowder over the wound and lighting it up

I tried doing the riding center because you can do the 2 day course and get yr license.. But it was booked out for 2 months.
-
This one was quite wide, but there's a video on YouTube some guy made of his gf getting her license in pattaya which looks narrower
They must be different sizes in different centres.. A foot is 12 inches. No way was the one at my local centre 12 inches wideits about a foot wide, about 40 foot long and 4 inches high.. concrete construction
born in a country with the metric system.. but talking in feet and inches

I did it on an out of tune carby scooter, got to the infamous balance beam and cracked the throttle, the engine was surging and not smooth at all and i'm on the beam with legs kicked out the sides, wobbling about trying to stayed balanced. The front wheel dropped off about 1 meter short from the end into the weeds but i think they didn't see it and passed me.
That was after i turned a corner at about walking pace cracked the throttle..nothing. then powered me into the fence.. worst bike ever. Owner of the bike is a motorbike mechanic, fixes other bikes immaculately but own bike is a POS.
If your practicing, find some place where you have to stop and then ride 3-4 meters till you go onto the balance beam. Even try riding the edge of a gutter on the foot path after ascending from the road, just so you get the feeling of a suspension bump before the balanced ride.

Slightly off topic, but can someone explain the difference between hydraulic fracking, and using explosives down the hole to fracture the rock structure and allow the oil to flow ?? Thanks.
Using explosives down hole was a predecessor to modern fracking. It's still useful in some reservoirs, but the benefits are mostly very near the wellbore.
In hydraulic fracturing, sand or another proppant is suspended in a gelled fluid and pumped into the well at high rates and pressures to create and propagate a fracture in the reservoir rock. When the well goes onto production, the proppant in the fracture holds the reservoir rock apart and provides a high permeability path for the reservoir fluids to move toward the wellbore. The length of the fracture can be in the 1000's of feet, depending on the reservoir and the amount of fluids and proppant pumped in.
Using just the explosives, the penetration is measured in feet or 10's of feet, and the reservoir rock would typically just collapse back together with no flow channel to the wellbore, especially in a "softer" rock reservoir. That's very useful if the drilling process plugged up the permeability near the wellbore, but not much benefit in oil shales with very low permeability throughout the reservoir.
Just to give you an idea, frac can be big, very big. I have once pumped 1.5 million lbs of proppant and back in the '70 they use to pump 5-7 million lbs jobs.
Shale fracturing is slightly different from gelled hydraulic fracturing. Shale gas fracturing hardly use any chemicals, lots of water, high pump rate and low proppant concentrations for 12 of more hours per zone. Often 6-12 zones per well.
Are they actually fracking anywhere in Thailand ?
There are a few services companies with fracking department in Thailand.

You need original work permit too.. not copy. If to hard just go to Aussie embassy and do stat dec for 500 baht. Doesnt take long.

3/4 of Thailand's electricity comes from Gas fired plants..
they cant find gas fast enough to keep up with domestic demand therefore fracking is a viable option...
Source.. currently sitting on platform drilling for gas

On a scale from 1 to 10.. Ten being leathers and 1 being a T-shirt..
Probably a 4.5 And the revit a 6. I've never worn leathers, only felt in the shop.
Maybe that's a bit harsh.. But its intended use is suburban speeds where I wanted to trade safety down a level for a little bit more comfort.
The revit airwave feels a lot more sturdier where as the dainese feels like a bit of mesh in the shape of a jacket to hold the armor in place...lol. But that's what I wanted.
I feel that if I were to low side the armor would save an elbow strike to the ground. The elbow and forearm areas are adequately constructed, as is the shoulder areas. Front and back are only mesh and not as strong.
Combined with Kevlar jeans, gloves and boots and full face, I've still got a lot on.

Thought id bump this thread along with a small review of a Jacket i just bought and wore today for a narcissistic 220km ride around bangkok.
Dainese Air flux textile jacket.
Very happy with this jacket today. It was a stinking hot day but the jacket performed extreemly well. Flowed a ton of air compaired to my revit airwave jacket. Its got the usual armour in the shoulders, elbow and forearm and the ability to take a back protector too. Its only got two pockets in the front, velcro tabs on wrist, waist and neck for adjustment and the armour is velcroed in place
let me just add that this isnt a jacket to go riding silly in. But in my opinion, for general commuting at suburban speeds it should hopefully be adequate. This is what i wss looking for in my next jacket...a super light jacket thst flows a ton of air with armour protection.
honestly i dont know if you could find a lighter jacket than this. Available in Black, black and black.

Ducati monster 796, second hand with low k's for around 350k baht.
That's yesterdays / this mornings choice for me. Last week it was cb650f. Week before it was an ER6N, BMW F800R, Kawa z800.. Ducati scrambler in there somewhere as well.
Or just bite the bullet with a new 821 monster.
As you can see I'm in the same predicament.

39฿!!!! I need this.
Its a conspiracy how expensive these bloody things are.
I'd like to change, anyone suggest any more cheaper brands that are up there with the mighty mark 3???

Cheers shurup. I've read the diavel is another contender in the hot ducati hot exhaust department. Have you been stuck in traffic in jeans and jacket?
Its hard to gauge from reviews what is a real problem and what is just a minor issue.
FIX NESPRESSO coffee machine in Thailand ? Have you done it ? any cheap way to fix these crap coffee machines ?

I had problems with mine loading the capsules onto the spike. I googled the symptoms and found the problem and the method to fix it..was just a latch that had come off its mount.
