  1. LOL..... debate.... I bet you had to look up how to spell that! All you got is nonsensical denial ad nauseam, with an occasional dash of long expired medical guesswork from the 1880's .
  2. I thought you caught on ... sadly, apparently not. You've got about 5 different posts. I think this one is #3. So just cut to the chase and type in #3... we'll all know what you mean to say.
  3. I'm sure not too many reasonable people think the vaccines contribute to 'Good Health' other than to largely prevent a lot of 'Bad Health'. Get a grip on reality.
  4. Is dementia communicable via electronic media? One of the noise feedback loops on AN seems to have a higher rate of dementia amongst its participants who coincidentally are likely under-vaccinated.
  5. After we moved to Thailand I approached Kasikorn for an account and enlisted the assistance of my stepson. He had been a KBank customer for many years and he asked his friend to also help. His friend was a regional manager with KBank. KBank still refused to open an account as I held only the original non-O 90 day visa.
  6. If the banks don't have your Thai tax ID, they are required to withhold the 15%. If you do have one, they don't have to but can still do so if that's what you wish. The banks do not withhold from Thai account holders because they have their tax ID (national ID #). Of course, interest income is reported to the TRD in all cases.
  7. Here's the real story.... done by actual medical researchers with training in virology .... not just a psychiatrist with only a bit of general knowledge of infectious diseases. The details that define the difference between exosomes and virus particles are clearly explained here: https://youtu.be/UY4pJaGJgkA?t=1701 Kaufman tries to denigrate PCR testing that shows the presence of COVID virus but conveniently ignores testing safeguards that destroy his theory. Here's the details of how PCR testing proves that the results are indeed accurate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KoLnIwoZKU Don't take your medical advice from a deceitful AN poster on his second (at least) screen name after getting booted from his first.
  8. LOL.... at 72 with 50+ years under my belt using motorcycles as my main transportation .... I've got several years left in me. My situational awareness while driving borders on paranoia but it is necessary in urban traffic. I don't get your thinking when you say 'Riding at your age is selfish'.
  9. your very short response is not helping us resolve your problem.... expand upon what happened when you followed the suggestion. screen shots are your best avenue to a resolution
  10. Twenty-six year anniversary last week. A scan of the photog's proof. She's 8 days younger than I.
  11. just type google.com into the address bar.... then type the search keywords into the entry field in the middle of the page
  12. Just buy some rose colored glasses... they have a pretty good reputation.
  13. No... that's not it... I'm familiar with parsley This is the herb I referred to.
  14. In late 2021 I went to open an EZ Savings (1.5%, max 1M) account at SCB. At first they said I needed a work permit. I told them I was on retirement extension and am not allowed to work. I also asked them to call their main office to check if I met the requirements for an account. They affirmed that I could. They decided I should also have a regular savings so they opened that for me but when trying to open the EZ account they couldn't proceed for some reason. I asked them if they could open the EZ account if I got a Thai tax ID and they said yes. The next morning I went to the main Thai Revenue office for CM and had my tax ID in 20 minutes. I then went back to the same SCB branch and they finished setting up the EZ account. I also asked them to not withhold any tax from the interest. They complied and I have never had tax withheld from the start. Since BKK bank has gone rogue, I've been using only SCB. The EZ account has no bank book, but it seems Thai Imm. is familiar with it and does accept it for extensions. I use the regular savings for my daily QR payments and top it up with a couple of transfers from the EZ account each month. I try to make it easy for Thai Imm. to see the required balance for extensions is always in the EZ account. Sometime in the last 2 years SCB switched to monthly interest deposits to the EZ account. SCB has also doubled and then lowered again the maximum balance (to get the 1.5%) since I opened the account.
  15. As well.... the truth is the truth.... no matter what you say so often. Platitudes seem to be the only content from you that carries a smidgen of truth. You seem willfully ignorant that a large percentage of drugs are simply found to occur in nature. Scientists and researchers then find what natural body process is changed by the drug. The drug is potentially useful for adjusting the bodily function that may be compromised by disease, environmental factors or both. No need for you to remind anyone... the scientists are continually studying nature without nonsense from you.
  16. Was that the result of your Internet Research Group's efforts?
  17. Out of the can, I agree that sardines are not very appetizing. However, my wife makes an excellent yum version. She uses finely sliced young sections of lemon grass, finely chopped fresh tiny hot green chili peppers, finely chopped shallots, fish sauce, lime juice and optionally mint leaves and pug shee falang (I don't know english word for it). We eat it with rice or you can use it as filling for lettuce wraps. She uses the Rosa canned sardines that come in tomato sauce. I went from turning up my nose at sardines to really enjoying them. The dish is called pla grapong in Thai. I don't think you'll find it on any menu.
  18. crossing the street frequently increases the chance of being killed by a car/truck. Buy a condo attached to a mall.
  19. What portion of my comment are you struggling with? There are more informative ways to classify tariffs than good/bad or white/black. Haven't you heard that there are 50 shades of grey?
  20. In 2024, the Biden administration increased tariffs on $18 billion worth of Chinese imports across several strategic sectors. The move was the result of a statutory four-year review of Section 301 tariffs, which were first imposed by the Trump administration. There is a time and place for intelligent tariffs... not the completely unfounded numbers that Trump used to 'justify' his tariffs during his 2nd term.
  21. Wow... your post is chock full of greatest hits from the nonsense crowd. Scientists hold the belief that humans will never know 'everything' a 1000 times stronger than you do. Time for you to grow up and leave your childlike simplifications behind.
  22. In reality they confine themselves to their own finite universe where actual knowledge is rare. A weak attempt to bolster your ego which has been knocked around the science debate ring like a towel boy.
  23. Word salad with no actual informational content that is constructed to suit your views. Pre-established construct..... what a joke. Humans over our time on Earth have constructed many idiotic beliefs to explain things about which they had zero knowledge. Centuries of study have reduced almost every one of those pre-established beliefs to laughing matters. You consider the heliocentric system as unproven because you don't 'believe' the proof. You cannot refute the proofs other than by pointing to unproven opinions by other non-scientists and non-believers. A load of last ditch efforts through constant denials doesn't benefit your position.
  24. You've created another career topping post. I think those who have read it suffered an immediate decline in their IQ. I'm looking for the undo option. Will it help if I mark it 'unread'?
  25. you mean like the billionaires who buy politicians who then repay them with favorable business, climate and pollution regulations so they can screw the middle class and lower?
