So I raised the issue at the AGM. One of the committee members got very angry and called me a few Thai insults (he's a farang) and said he would kick me out of the building if he could. I've never met him before so I have no idea what he was so angry about. The owners however ruled unanimously to remove the fine so I got a happy ending.

So I've got some clarification. There is a rule pertaining to the internal use of the condos which I was accused by a resident of breaking, but I obviously wasn't as I don't live there. It's a rule that's impossible to prove because it doesn't affect other tenants and pertains to the use of one's own condo so there's no way they can prove it (unless you do it on the balcony or something). The new rule is being proposed in order to make the first rule enforceable by limiting what can be brought into the condo building. The reason they thought they could fine me was because I was accused of breaking the first rule. Juristic asked me to declare at the AGM that I'm not breaking the first rule and told me that the account can be adjusted later.

I don't want to go into too much details on fear of being identified, but I do feel like I've upset someone too but have no idea who or why as I've never actually lived at the property (I inherited it from my late father and I've just been using it for storage). It really frustrates me that just accepting unfair losses seems to be the norm.

So my condominium fined me 6000 baht for a non-existent rule. I spoke with the management about it and they said they spoke to a lawyer already and the lawyer told them I've neither broken any rule, nor is there anything in the rules that allows them to impose fines, but they haven't withdrawn the fine stating that there is a proposed rule change at the 2023 AGM that they will use to retrospectively fine me. I'm in the process of selling the condominium and they have said they will refuse to issue a note stating everything is paid. What can I do about this? Is there an ombudsman of sorts that can be used to sort this out or do I need a lawyer?

You've been in Thailand too long! In the west your laundry doesn't get done by itself, you actually have to do it. In Thailand the missus automatically does it so I always fly in with a bag full of dirty clothes. I will even ship her dirty clothes if I'm in the west for an extended period.

Well I get charged 5 baht/kwh at my condo. I have a 25.4kwh battery, a full charge consumes about 33.9kwh = 169 baht, that goes about 75km cruising on a highway. With the ICE I get 5.5L/100km on the highway = 4.125L/75km = 142 baht. Now I'm sure a real EV that didn't have to lug around an ICE with it can achieve a little better economy, and people living in houses can get cheaper electricity, but the real-world savings are still a little overstated. But, in BKK there are heaps of free EV charging stations...

Anyone here ordered the Model Y? When is delivery expected?

Those prices are insanely cheap for Thailand. I suspect Tesla is trying to flood the market with EVs in order to attract more investment in charging stations. Might be a great time to buy, especially with the plan to cut the tax incentive in 2023.

There is no restriction for half-Thais in buying land. BUT, an alien cannot buy land without permission (section 94 of the Land Code iirc). The fact that it's in your child's name doesn't change this, this will still be considered as an alien buying land. If you want your child to have the land, you will need to gift the money to the child (and pay tax as required), then the child can purchase the property using their own funds.

There's nothing wrong with any of these things. Just people with different opinions to you. Too woke is when people try to ban books because they offend, or when they tear down statues because they remind them of past injustices, or when they fire you for failing to use the correct pronouns. People with different opinions are where all progress comes from - sometimes they are going to be <deleted>, there's nothing wrong with that - the good comes with the bad. It's when they shove those opinions down your throat that it becomes a problem.

Whatever you set in Windows is what it will use.

If that's true, then they should just ban the Republican party and have a one-party system. For best measure, they should add Democratic to the country name...

Well cache-control should be set to private for logins which means they're not *supposed* to cache it. I would be more likely to blame CGNAT. Basically, most consumer internet users are behind a CGNAT. This is basically like when you access the internet behind a router, except it's your ISPs router. This saves them from issuing public IP addresses. So, you have hundreds or even thousands of users accessing the internet on a single IP, or millions of users on a small IP range. Out of those people, a few hundred might use Vanguard. Out of those, 10-20 might've typed their password wrong in the last few days. So, we have 10-20 failed login attempts from apparently the same network, trying to access different Vanguard accounts along with a few hundred successful logins of different accounts. This looks dodgy as hell so it can be assumed that the successful logins were hackers. So, since it's clear those passwords are compromised, they should lock those accounts pending a password change.
