  1. I know.... an old thread but there are always new members that should learn about grapow. The classic recipe for this dish does not include ginger. I've eaten it hundreds of times, mostly cooked by my wife of 25 years. I've also had the dish many dozens of times from others. I'm pretty sure not once did it include ginger. I love ginger also... just not in grapow. Perhaps when an less common protein source is prepared with grapow leaves they add ginger. I enjoy both pork and chicken... but my favorite is a 50-50 blend of both.
  2. it's all in partisan code.
  3. Thank you #47. In a way that no other person can accomplish you have focused the US's attention on some of the worst miscreants in your flock. You managed to evict one from the House. Hopefully more stellar results will ensue.
  4. Earlier in the US/Thai DTA a "resident" was defined to mean a person with the status of tax resident. I think the key to understanding this paragraph of the US/Thai DTA is the use of the word "or". There are two categories of people covered by this paragraph. This paragraph applies to all US SSA benefits. It is applicable to two groups: Thai tax residents OR US citizens in Thailand but not a Thai tax resident Warning: I have no status as a tax or legal expert ... just a taxpayer subject to this treaty as a US and Thai tax resident.
  5. I just completed this quiz. My Score 70/100 My Time 146 seconds  
  6. I would draw the line according to the thread title... this one is not specific. Perhaps change the title here to "Finding the best Thai bank interest"
  7. From the technical interpretation of the Thai/USA tax treaty, the saving clause states: Paragraph 2 contains the traditional saving clause found in all U.S. treaties. The Contracting States reserve their rights, except as provided in paragraph 3, to tax their residents and citizens as provided in their internal laws, notwithstanding any provisions of the Convention to the contrary. That phrasing seems to mean that the USA considers its residents to have the same rights and obligations as its citizens for the entirety of the treaty.
  8. Because the best choice between the options is dependent on Thai vs other bank interest rates. I think it is relevant to the thread title.
  9. I dislike tariffs as much as you, but I don't think you can label them as a socialist policy. It's more like a consumption tax without any protection from it for those who can least afford to pay it. Tariffs have a lot in common with mafia tactics, like extortion or a 'protection' racket.
  10. Trump does have a comprehensive plan.... but only to grab as much power as possible and hold on to it as long as possible.... oh yeah.... and to use it to stay out of jail. His business plan is to fleece his flock with shlock.
  11. The correct loss of income (ignoring taxation and transfer fees) is: 800000 * (5.15% - 1.8%) / 12 * 5 = 11,167 for 5 months 400000 * (5.15% - 1.8%) / 12 * 7 = 7,817 for the other 7 months if you send 400K back to the 5.15% account
  12. Such a comment from one who has very weak reading comprehension is classic.
  13. You're really obsessed with that metal desk thing.....
  14. His "love" is very seasonal.... fades quickly after election season.
  15. IMHO..... this interpretation by the Trump zealots will retain the crown for "stupidest" for quite some time.
  16. You will get much better answers by reading articles about sexual assault victims and their qualms about reporting it. There's many potential and understandable reasons why she wouldn't report it. What kind of answers are expecting from AN? It seems more likely you're just seeking affirmation of your opinion from other males. You won't get any women responding to your queries here, which likely is not a concern to you.
  17. Thanks..... every chat forum needs someone to state the obvious to all us idiots.
  18. this chart: https://www.statista.com/statistics/236852/retail-price-of-eggs-in-the-united-states/ says the last time the average price of eggs was $1.19 was 2002. Does that agree with your memory? I would suggest that recently egg prices have been heavily influenced by bird flu outbreaks so are not a good measurement of inflation.
  19. did you clear the browser cache? and open a command line window and run ipconfig /flushdns ? I would rate those two as the most likely to be effective actions.
  20. Have you resolved the issue? I'm curious as to what is the cause. The symptoms are unusual.
  21. It's not just Manila. I first informed SSA of an error in June '20 and then reminded them by filing a 561 directly with Baltimore every two years.... thank god I didn't hold my breath....it's still messed up. Not just mine... SSA is paying my wife two benefits at the same time. That's definitely an error that is 100% on them. I informed them of their error soon after it started. We'll pay them back as soon as they are ready to calculate the total due because that is not the only issue with her benefits.
  22. try writing your post in your native tongue and then using an AI translator to produce English. Maybe that will help.
  23. It's not the media that has gone bad.... it's the other end of the communication channel. You've illustrated that perfectly.
  24. Extracting meaning from your posts presents a unique challenge. As for that video....it's much easier to find pertinent SSA information on the web than having to watch a poorly organized YouTube video.
  25. I second @KhunLA's choice of YouTubers to listen to regarding nutrition and diet. Especially the Nutrition Made Simple one: https://www.youtube.com/@NutritionMadeSimple He gives a very detailed analysis of the studies that cover the specific topic in each of his videos and if he disagrees with other YouTubers he does so respectfully.
