Why experts are blasting Trump for 'already breaking the law'

I would love to wager a significant sum that on the topic of governmental conflicts of interest and its prevention, she know a LOT more than you. Best to not pretend you are well informed when you are not. -

But... the yellow guy does have a very distorted understanding of US laws and the legal system .... maybe that spurred him to move to LOS. -

Nice try ... but it also means conviction always precedes appeal. please present your evidence or non-knuckle draggers everywhere will suspect you of lying -

I've shown proof of the definition of conviction in the state of New York. Do you have a shred of evidence for your opinion? tick tick tick tick .... we're all waiting patiently -

Have you never heard the phrase "his conviction was overturned on appeal"? you're so deluded you can't read the definition of convicted... you're a very sad case. -

You've made a severe logic error. A basic example: All dogs are mammals. A whale is a mammal, therefor a whale is also a dog. Samuel Johnson in effect said: All scoundrels claim patriotism as a defense. You claim: The founding fathers claim to be patriots. Therefor they were also scoundrels. Do you see what you did there? -

Please continue screaming your cultish beliefs so the sane amongst us can have a good head shake and laugh. Or you could "do your own research" and find out that once a judge issues an adjudication the defendant's status is exonerated or convicted. Appeals do not change the defendants status until resolved. -
The reason you get different amounts from using a debit vs using a credit card is due to fees. Both MasterCard and Visa give the same exchange rates for debit and credit card transactions. Getting cash from a credit card almost always is the worst option for getting cash since it is considered a loan whereas a withdrawal using a debit card is like withdrawing cash already on deposit with your home bank.

You should be more clear otherwise we have to guess exactly what you're trying to do. Are you trying to withdraw from a Thai ATM using a foreign debit card? Hopefully your debit card is on either the the MasterCard or Visa networks. It is these payment processing networks that set the exchange rates. The Thai banks do not set the rate. Last time I checked both MC and Visa set their rate at about 7AM Thai time on Tue through Sat. That rate will stay in effect until the next new rate is issued. Saturday's rate stays in effect until Tue AM. When using an ATM decline the option sometimes offered to bill you in your home currency. The rate given will be much worse than the MC or Visa rates. If you want to know the exchange rates, they are given on the MC and Visa web sites. https://www.mastercard.us/en-us/personal/get-support/convert-currency.html https://usa.visa.com/support/consumer/travel-support/exchange-rate-calculator.html To get the exact amount of your home currency that will be deducted from your account, you will need to know what percentage your home bank adds for foreign transaction fees. Some banks charge 0% and some up to 3%.

How about waste less? -
I'm guessing that you don't know why interest rates go up? You'll probably blame George Soros... LOL or ... but, but, but Hillary!

Depending on your car's and your phone's capabilities, it may be possible to use your phone to connect to an internet source of English audio news and route it through your car's speakers. Apple CarPlay can do that with Apple phones.

About most topics, he would be correct..... he just doesn't know much about anything.

*How to find* farang computer doctor for Macintosh?
gamb00ler replied to Old Curmudgeon's topic in Chiang Mai
After several go arounds, he hasn't mentioned a single issue or clearly stated what he expects to be done during a "checkup". He did mention wanting "advice on backup system, VPN, Waterfox extensions, and more and more.' -
I no longer know the details of who provides it.... but there is a Thai government department that will provide a list of entry/exit dates for Thai citizens. We needed this document for my Thai wife when we imported our household goods when moving to Thailand in 2020. Perhaps that same department can provide the dates for you. We did have to send the two most recent passports for my wife to the customs broker and they looked after getting the appropriate document. Sorry I can't provide more details than the above.

gamb00ler replied to Old Curmudgeon's topic in Chiang Mai
Correct.... however some users have developed methods to allow older macs to run newer MacOS versions. Search for OCLP... I use it to run Ventura on the wife's 2012 Mac mini. I'll update it to Sonoma soon. -

I'm a retired software engineer and I'm perplexed by your request for a computer "checkup". Since there are basically no moving parts in computers these days there is minimal need for checkups. A computer's electronic components don't normally slowly degrade... typically they just suddenly fail. Old style hard drives are the exception as they will often start to show errors before failing completely. By far the largest percentage of PC problems are software failures or user errors. MacOS's updating process is very smooth. In my experience I have had no significant problems since migrating to MacOS. I only had problems when trying to circumvent Apple's restrictions on upgrading older Apple hardware to newer versions of MacOS (using 3rd party software). I've been a PC user for almost 40 years and a Mac user for 8-9. The only preventative maintenance I recommend is to periodically open the case and blow out as much dust as you can with some compressed air. If your computer isn't on the floor, dust shouldn't be as much of an issue. Since you only claim to want a checkup, start with Apple's diagnostics: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102550
