close but no cigar.... wasn't the 7th day a day of rest?

I think we all should henceforth refer to you as Mr MissQuote

Pure capitalism does a poor job of providing cost effective health care..... get over it!

if you add the short easy word "woke" to anything it wakes up the dimwits and off we go!

I'm not a Windows user for years now so my knowledge is out of date. Could your system have been installing updates? Several updates may have accumulated since it hasn't really been turned on for weeks. I no longer remember how to check what updates have been recently installed.

Trump's total votes in '24 beat his '20 total by more than 3 million.

AN is so lucky to have as contributors a shadow (but more just) SCOTUS. Queue the laugh track and send in the clowns!

Nobody like a dyed in the wool Trumper to make the MAGA agenda crystal clear without actually saying it. Do as we tell you despite what your eyes, ears, brain and common sense tell you.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first season. I have watched the first four of season 2. The female lead is excellent. The plot is mostly a political one so far this season. I recommend it. When the episodes are released the download speed ramps up pretty quickly as lots of seeders.

Young ginger has a more subtle flavor and is more pleasant to eat. My wife cooks pork with a lot of young ginger regularly. For the ginger neophytes, a picture of young, medium and old ginger (from the left, clockwise):

in the section of AN that is titled "IT and Computers"??

I am not the OP. You responded to the OP's statement that moving money from Thailand to Britain is apparently complicated. WISE doesn't do that. Happy Happy responded about other services from WISE.

you need new spectacles .... WISE only transfers inbound to Thailand

The SSA has often indicated what happens under current law when the trust fund is exhausted. The total of benefits paid at that time will match the inflows of FICA taxes collected. They're predicting that benefits will be reduced to 75-80% of benefits as calculated by the current benefit algorithm. There is no existing provision for using the Federal government's general revenues to make up the shortfall.

Technically you're correct. But... Elon Musk's open source code is 'completely dishonest' Twitter published parts of its algorithm, but some developers said the code paints an incomplete picture because it lacks vital data to understand it By Kylie Robison The algorithm, which is basically the formula that decides which tweets users see on their timeline, is a valuable asset; many internet companies treat algorithms as something akin to state secrets. Musk framed his decision to make Twitter’s algorithm open-source as an effort to improve it, by enlisting the help of volunteers, and as an act of radical transparency: If you suspected Twitter was “shadow banning” certain people, the conspiracy would finally be exposed. As a stampede of developers, reporters, and curiosity seekers rushed to code-sharing GitHub site to have a look at the algorithm, trying to ascertain the actual significance or usefulness of Musk’s move only became hazier. Many people quickly fixated on controversial sounding bits of the algorithm, such as “author_is_republican.” But as several observers noted, the uploaded code doesn’t indicate how the company is using any of it, and leaves out vital bits of information that would paint the whole picture. Even people with bona fide technical chops said the lack of necessary context made it impossible to make much sense of the published algorithm, let alone try to make any actual contributions to the open-source code. “They released a lot, which is neat, but also like, wtf is the point of this? Nobody’s going to make heads or tails of this, let alone the Q-brained [QAnon] guys he’s trying to impress,” one senior software engineer who wished to remain anonymous said in a direct message to Fortune.

Of course the SS trust fund is not in a bank account. The trust fund lends the money to the US treasury and is given T-bills in return. The interest rate the government pays is very close to what it pays on the T-bills sold at auction. When the Treasury pays out the SS benefits the amount paid is deducted from the amount owed to the SS trust fund. Every $ the Treasury pays out as benefits is taken from the SS trust fund, not the US government's general revenue. The only funds taken from the Federal governments general revenue and given to SS is the interest on the special T-bills held by the SS trust fund. But those interest payments ALSO have no impact on the Federal deficit because the Treasury would have had to borrow the funds elsewhere if not from the SS fund. Therefor there is ZERO impact on the Federal deficit from SS benefit payouts. That's the law as of right now. It may change in the future when the inflows to the SS trust fund don't cover the benefits owed as calculated by the current SS benefit algorithm.

It's obvious that "making sense" isn't their prime directive. Sloganism all the way!

so so so hilariously wrong.... I'm sure glad I don't have to face something that talks nonsense like you in the mirror.... do you have any mirrors in your house? best avoid them.

Falsifying business records in the furtherance of election interference which upgraded the charges that are normally misdemeanors to felonies.

Your understanding is wrong. You've made many assumptions that are not true. The jury convicts and the judge sentences. The judge cannot sentence a defendant who has not been convicted by a plea of guilty or a guilty verdict.

I recommend you ask professional journalists about that. They have the time and resources to find and verify with multiple sources this type of information. Don't listen to the right wing claims that journalists are the enemy of the people.

LOL... a very extreme viewpoint. There a lots of legal immigrants that pay exactly the same share of FICA, federal and state income taxes, etc. They are just as entitled to the benefits as citizens. Many of those legal immigrants are on the path to citizenship.

Since the speed of your connection varies according to the time of day, the drop in speed is most likely due to congestion on the mobile data network in your area. There isn't much you can do about that. You may need to switch to a different mobile data provider or to a cable/fiber based connection.

Perhaps ask for a letter from Bangkok bank verifying your account and ask them to make sure it shows your address. Get a Thai tax ID from Thai Revenue Department and give that to Bangkok bank as well to include on the letter. Send the offshore bank a copy of the TRD card showing your Thai tax ID along with the Bangkok bank letter. Provide the offshore bank copies of the relevant pages from your passport showing, entry visa, entry stamp, extension stamp, etc. I am not from UK so I have no idea if this will help but it shouldn't be that difficult to accomplish.

Assumptions based strictly on emotions are another all too common American trait
