Yeah.... almost identical. The statement you can print from internet banking will include the time of day of the transaction. The entries will by default be sorted in reverse chronological order. If you try to sort it the other way they ignore the time of day so multiple entries for the same date are still shown in reverse order. The online statement will also give you the option to show more details for PromptPay transactions. You can hit the + sign for those entries and the recipients name and any text note you add when doing the transaction will be displayed.

Enter your post in a different web page or a different app. Then select, copy, paste and hit Submit to minimize the time you're actually typing into the AN reply field. And if you want to anonymously loiter, just browse in a Private window/tab.

@jaideedave I don't know how but I missed your answer until I saw another poster mention Section 217 in an unrelated thread. I haven't filed any Canadian tax form since '88 after moving to USA in '87. I have had no Canadian income since then until I started receiving CPP and a reduced OAS several years ago. I just have to claim my CPP+OAS on US taxes where it's treated the same as US Social Security benefits. I haven't specifically told CRA that I'm not resident but it should be apparent as I use US address and bank for pension benefits, plus no Canadian sourced income.

Shouldn't this thread bear the title: Stereotype Cacophony? Just sayin'.

You cannot conceive of a reasonable explanation for not keeping abreast of AN posts from the date of joining until recently? It really doesn't take much effort to think a tad deeper.

you can buy a battery backup for your gate motor. You can use solar or grid power to keep the battery charged. Another option is that when the power is off, you can disconnect the gate from the motor and manually open the gate

Have you tried Google Drive for transferring files? It requires twice as much copying of data over the network but is super simple. I would assume there's a version of the Google Drive app for both Linux and Android.

Are you suggesting that a US citizen can change how Thailand applies tax by filing an IRS form? That doesn't seem likely or reasonable.

I didn't think past eliminating the router from your communication path between laptop and phone. I'm only guessing because I'm no expert in networking. Router configuration? a rare router/phone incompatability?

Set your phone up as a WiFi hotspot, turn your router off and try and connect your laptop to the phone's SSID.

Get a PING app for your phone and try to ping the router. Not all devices respond to ping requests. I know nothing of the Android system. Does Android allow ignoring of ICMP (ping and other) messages?

You could also try running a VPN inside a virtual machine with a never been used image. Use a simple OS like a version of linux. Theoretically the programs inside the virtual machine cannot "see" outside their virtual system. I'm not sure if you will be allowed you to run a VPN on the virtual network connection. I have never tried. Testing this method should be fairly easy and doesn't require you to purchase new hardware.

This is not accurate. The social security (SSA) withholding is from only "earned income" not from interest, capital gains, etc. Those funds are maintained in a completely separate pool of funds, apart from general federal government revenue. That SSA fund is then invested in a special type of US treasury bill. The SSA benefits are then paid out of that fund, not the general federal government budget. However, the US federal government is on the hook when that SSA fund is not sufficient to meet outgoing payments. So in reality the US system is quite similar to what @Mike Lister says below.

It's not like the money paid for the shares went into an individuals pocket. The capital value of the purchased shares went into the government's coffers. Hopefully the government then used those funds for the benefit of the public.

You're not even pointing your weapon (mind) in the right direction. Try again! Googling is background reading... always has been..... always will be. Research takes place at the edge of knowledge not in some bunker well away from the front.

It looks to me like you don't really know what you're talking about. There's a lot of "I think", "I don't believe" and "If... say, half".... in other words where's the beef?

Miss Info has several YouTube channels to "answer" your query.

Until the 1800's high infant mortality kept the life expectancy far below the bible's prediction. Next!

I agree. Anarchy would be much better for the planet. People would succumb to disease and kill each other much more frequently. This would reduce the average lifespan and each individuals contribution to the coming apocalyptic climate catastrophe.

If you're going to listen to AITA's representative take a sizeable salt shaker with you. In the past at least one of their senior staff has represented to US expats that withdrawals from 401K's and IRA accounts can be done tax free if you live in Thailand. This is not the view held by the IRS as seen here: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-trty/thaitech.pdf

Don't you know...we're in the presence of several experts at reading between the lines?

OK.... that is true. However a lot of evidence that backs up that theory has been accumulated in the last couple of decades.

How do you know there were no scientists during the last ice age? You don't think there were humans that were curious and willing to try new things and pay attention to the results(ie. learn) ? The ice age did not wipe out the 'Dinasaurs', a big a$$ meteor or comet took care of them.

I have seen the light! I now know that the critical shortage of tin foil hats is the real issue.

Yes, but not markedly so. He is an outlier!
