  1. You really need to ask this? While the smell of tobacco may not be unpleasant to everyone, there are indeed serious health concerns associated with inhaling secondhand smoke. Here are some of the potential dangers: Carcinogens: Secondhand smoke contains over 7,000 chemicals, including at least 70 known carcinogens (cancer-causing substances), such as benzene, arsenic, and formaldehyde. Cardiovascular Disease: Exposure to secondhand smoke can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases, even among non-smokers. Lung Disease: Secondhand smoke can cause or exacerbate a variety of lung conditions, including chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma. Other Health Risks: Secondhand smoke has also been linked to other health problems, such as ear infections, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), and cognitive impairment in children.
  2. Whilst I appreciate your information sharing, I cannot get my head around why you let your partner have full control of the ATM card over your 800k bank account used for immigration? Surely there is a less risky way of arranging the proceeds of your accounts goes to the partner went you do move on as you put? Each to their own of course, respect!
  3. Great idea. Hopefully it will take most of your time away from posting drivel on AN. If the first book is a success, make a series of them,
  4. That idea would create quite a traffic jam considering it takes several hours wait doing walk in method.
  5. The person asking for help in this situation seems to be the one causing the problem. Killing trees simply because they attract birds is not only environmentally destructive, but it's also unlikely to solve the underlying issue. Birds are an important part of the ecosystem and play a crucial role in pollinating plants, controlling insect populations, and maintaining the overall health of the environment. Additionally, the presence of birds can be a sign of a healthy ecosystem, and their songs and chirping can be a source of joy and beauty for many people. Rather than killing the trees, the person could consider other options for addressing their concerns, such as using bird deterrents, planting different types of trees that may be less attractive to birds, or simply learning to appreciate the presence of birds in their environment. Ultimately, the approach of simply killing trees to solve a perceived problem is not only harmful to the environment but also reflects a lack of understanding of the complex interconnection of ecosystems and the value of biodiversity.
  6. What utter and complete nonsense. Nowhere in the lead article does it mention the political leaning of the perp. It just says he was a nut job. Such a bitter and divisive life one must lead to think otherwise no?
  7. While it's certainly true that Attorney General appointments are an important part of any administration, it's concerning to see comments like this that seem to suggest a desire for partisan retribution rather than impartial justice. The role of the Attorney General is to uphold the law and ensure that justice is served, not to advance a political agenda. The implication that anyone who disagrees with this appointment must be a "Democrat" or "RINO" is unhelpful and divisive. It's important to respect the right of all Americans to have their own opinions and to engage in healthy debate without resorting to name-calling or demonizing those who disagree with us. Are you proud to be such a partisan demonizer? Ultimately, we should all hope that the new Attorney General will prioritize the rule of law and the interests of the American people above any political considerations of partisanship and retribution. Not a DEM or a RINO - just an outsider laughing at the hideousness of some of the American electorate and their politics of today.
  8. The opinion you shared certainly seems infantile and problematic for several reasons: Victim-blaming: The comment suggests that the current tensions in Ukraine are the fault of those who are supporting Ukraine in its defense against Russian aggression, rather than the fault of Russia itself. This is a form of victim-blaming, which shifts the responsibility for the conflict away from the aggressor and onto the victim. Minimizing the threat of Russian aggression: The comment refers to Russia as a "Bear" that is being poked, which minimizes the very real threat that Russia poses to Ukraine and to European security more broadly. This kind of language can make it easier to excuse or justify Russian aggression, rather than holding Russia accountable for its obscene actions. Fear-mongering: The comment also engages in fear-mongering by suggesting that continued support for Ukraine could lead to a nuclear war. While it's important to be aware of the risks of escalation, this kind of language is hyperbolic and alarmist, and can be used to justify inaction or appeasement. What's it feel like being an appeaser?
  9. It's important to note that the Ukraine conflict is not purely a proxy war, as it also involves a complex mix of historical, cultural, and domestic factors that have fueled tensions between Ukraine and Russia. The conflict has also had a major impact on the Ukrainian people, who have suffered significant loss of life and displacement as a result of the fighting.
  10. More deflection as normal. It's up to Trump, he can go on an openly broadcast over the air TV show anytime he wants? He can even go on SNL and they have a pre election special on Monday!
  11. The similarities between Trump's rally and the 1939 pro-Nazi event are disturbing because of the extremist rhetoric and hateful language that was on display at Trump's rally. Speakers at the event made racist and xenophobic remarks, mocking Puerto Ricans, Hispanics, Jews, and Palestinians. They also leveled personal attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris, calling her a "prostitute" and the "Antichrist."
  12. Not sure what I'm missing as haven't flown this route but the web site says flights are 2.4KTHB.
  13. "His toxic language is perhaps a reflection of his bitterness towards the city of his birth, which in separate court cases has convicted him of 34 felonies, found his company the Trump Organization guilty of criminal tax fraud, and found him personally liable for sexual abuse."
  14. This is the same president who infamously proposed a ban on Muslims entering the United States during his 2016 presidential campaign?
  15. If you want to use MS Office, and many people do as the alternatives whilst able to open/save Office documents are not 100% compatible, you have to pay for it or use one of the numerous 'solutions' found on share sites that 'fix' the lic issue. There is also a legal free version of MS Office that works through a web browser only but with limited functions that could be enough for some users. You can also get an Official MS Office cleaner from the MS web site (SetupProd_OffScrub.exe) that removes all traces of current Office installs if you want to start anew with a clean slate.
  16. Amazon have done their part. You have to go to customs to clear it and allow import into Thailand next, otherwise it stays in the warehouse, presumably until it gets destroyed in future. You can thank the useless shipping agent that Amazon chose to use for the inconvenience. Other shipping agents (e.g Fedex) ships door to door without the hassle.
  17. Meanwhile: Nigel Farage is outraged at Labour volunteers helping the Democrats. That’s the same Nigel Farage who used £33,000 of UK donor cash to support Donald Trump in the US election.
  18. Penis envy and access to nuclear codes, not a good combo IMHO.
  19. The account was all from him, and I think he expects the agent to do all the above for him as he struggles with the web sites/process himself. Your 35-45 days seems to tally with what he said the wait time was so he'll be getting close to the 90 day overstay mark by then and risk of blacklisting is my guess if the agent or he himself does not gets a new pp within that time frame.
  20. The agent is apparently well established in a building shop house near Nana BTS somewhere. So perhaps this guys only hope is to get a new pp before 90 days overstay to avoid a blacklisting but needs to fly out/in. That's my take. I would never go near an agent or lose sight of my pp. But old age gets some of us I suppose.
  21. I’ve heard of visa agents but do these same visa agents also arrange new passports as well? I have never tried as I do it all myself, but I came across an elderly American guy struggling with his health but still on his feet just, who has always used a retirement extension agent and now with his pp expiring waiting for the same agent to renew the pp as well as he finds the whole process too confusing to do it himself? I'm not familiar with the process as I am not from the US. It seems the agent still holds his pp with a promise to renew it but it has now come to a time when the pp has expired and thus the extension of stay, as the agent was too busy, didn’t know what to do or something? Can agents resolve this overstay issue, money is apparently not a problem, or is it too late for this guy to remain in Thailand who to me seems to be sleep walking into a blacklisting? He is still waiting several weeks more for a new pp by all accounts, as it takes that long, and finds the whole process too overwhelming?
  22. The system has changed, there is no need to visit your bank branch. I ordered the new replacement card on the KPlus app. A new card was delivered registered mail to my home with 4 days. You then activate the card on your KPlus app at home using the new card number and get a temporary PIN immediately. You then go to any ATM within 90 days and change the temp PIN to anything you like. This all came instructed on the paper card enclosing the new debit card in the post, all in Thai language with not a single word in English, so I used Google Translate for that.
