  1. If that's the plan, I'd suggest borrowing the car until he gets better situated. Maybe even pay her for the book but waiting to transfer ownership. There's buying the car, getting the book transferred, registering it under his name and insuring it under his name. I shudder to think of all the times he's going to have to produce documents, especially a residence.
  2. If Gov Ron is to be believed, it seems federal law already bans 13 and under from having their own account. Sounds like that means Florida is just agreeing, with a state law that they can enforce if the Feds won't enforce the federal laws. Also, doesn't ban kiddos from social media. Just having their own account. Parents are free to open an account for them to use, which seems pretty reasonable to allow parents to decide what's best for their kids. In any case, agree or disagree, I always think it's a good idea to get it from the horse's mouth before condemning the guy. Also understanding that he just signed the law. The Florida legislature passed it. The title of the video is misleading (though I found it great that Florida is severely curtailing squatters' rights). One more reason I like DeSantis, though he comes across as a plank of wood. Probably also why Florida is among the states with the fastest growing populations. https://www.foxnews.com/video/6349837857112
  3. Thank goodness for global warming. Otherwise we may soon have real short days.
  4. Gonna be interesting when they build enough wind turbines around the world to change weather patterns. Eventually, they'll be removing enough energy from the atmosphere that there will be unintended consequences, on top of all the birds they kill.
  5. That's what the DNC would like you to believe. In reality, they made it so hard to even get on the primary ballots he decided to run as a 3rd party candidate. Shades of what happened to Bernie... The DNC Elite consider the ballot decisions too important to trust to the voters.
  6. With loans being non-taxable as income, all the billionaires are taking loans against their assets to buy groceries.
  7. If the DNC had allowed the voters to fairly decide who's on the ballot, RFK Jr would have been trounced in the primaries with not enough time to form a 3rd party candidacy. They're getting exactly what they created. Too bad if they don't like it.
  8. I can't think of a major city anywhere whose cops would do more than take down a report for a snatch crime or pickpocket. Even if the victims provided CCTV footage. In most cities I've lived in, the victim wouldn't even get to meet with a cop. Just a clerk at the front desk or an online report. Best case scenario is the cops will show up in plainclothes the next few days in hopes that the thieves will stay in the same place. But it would be pretty dumb to telegraph that undercover plan.
  9. I've known a lot of guys and gals in wheelchairs who were perfectly fine getting around their house, and had a carer come by a couple of times a week to do laundry and heavy cleaning and maybe take them out in the wheelchair to do some shopping. Unless we know what the arrangements were, it's only a guess.
  10. I agree with that 100%, if only on the liability side. Hate to read about a foreigner who dropped a pane of glass, killing someone walking below. Thanks for the clarification. It all makes sense now, and hopefully someone will chime in with a recommendation.
  11. I'm not sure I understand the OP's situation. If it were me, the first thing I'd be inclined to do is to pull the window out of the frame and turn the sandblasted side inward so it never rains on it. And if you do splash anything on it, it's a simple cleanup job not not requiring the services of Spiderman. I'm also a fan of a frosted vinyl film instead of frosted (sandblasted) glass. Again, on the inside. So it's easy to scrape the old film off with a razor scraper every 5 years or so. With the added benefit that you can get a different pattern and/or color film if you're feeling artistic.
  12. Same as a hotel. It is the same licence. What I meant is whether the license costs more for a 100 room hotel than it does for a 10 room hotel. For example, if you had a 50 room hotel and it costs 50,000 baht a year to keep it registered, that would be 1000 baht per room. Or is it a flat fee regardless of how big it is?
  13. That it's happening, or that someone is reporting it, complete with the receipts? I wonder what the betting line is on his surviving through Songkran?
  14. Just out of curiosity, what does it cost to keep a registered hotel room legal for a year? And mechanically, how does an AirBNB property pay hotel taxes? Does AirBNB hold out and remit the hotel taxes, or is the property owner responsible for reporting the income and remitting the taxes? Not to mention any income taxes in addition to the hotel tax. Then I wonder if AirBNB is required to report (to the Revenue Department) any amount they pay to the property owner, and under what tax ID if any? I'm mostly wondering if AirBNB'ers are competing on a level playing field.
