  1. By anybody. And using the improper "whom", rather than "who", doesn't make your foolish question sound any more intelligent.
  2. No, it highlights the childish behavior of these guys and the zero value of a degree from Ram.
  3. AvistaZ for Asian content. I have 1 invitation for anyone TRULY interested. WatchSoMuch.to for most other content. EZTV.to for TV NORD VPN.
  4. Not overly proud of this, but followed the admin's process. Over 2 decades ago, I was teaching at an "international" school in the same district in which a major hospital is located. Students who failed had to attend summer school, with a high tuition and guaranteed pass. We were told to keep retesting and reteaching until they passed the final, no matter how many times it took. We learned right away to set a final exam that only true idiots would fail. Surprisingly, I was told I could offer private tutoring to my own students to help them pass. I don't think the admins fully realized the implications of that. I told my students that I could, for 15K THB each, tutor them until they could pass my final, which would be 10 questions, with 60% being a pass. Same game the school was playing, at 25% of the cost to the students, and no onerous summer attendance requirements. I think some kids paid out of their own pocket, without ever telling their parents. I made sure that every kid passed in the first round. Quick 3 days work for an extra 150K. FU
  5. My Filipina fiancée and I went to the Banglamung khet today to inquire about the procedure. We have all the necessary documents finalized by the MoFA. Told you need to come in by 0730 to request an appointment that might be as much as a month away. The kicker was that they only take TWO applications/day. Plus, they said you must have a Thai-English interpreter. Anybody have any recommendations for another office in the general Chonburi area? Or any agency that specializes in expediting this nonsense?
  6. No competent scientist would ever make such a claim. Is he now claiming that viruses are sentient? Mutations will occur with or without viruses, with no "intention" on the part of the viruses. Also note that the vast majority of mutations are deleterious. It's like sticking a screwdriver in the works of a fine watch. Sure, it MIGHT work better, but chances are, it won't.
  7. If one renews 2-3 months in advance of expiration, it's still the original date of expiry, correct?
  8. How do you lose what you never had?
  9. Totally agree. I used to be a forensic sciences instructor. I always had each of my students research a death penalty case where the defendant was eventually exonerated and give a presentation on all of the details, including the crime, why the person was arrested, the evidence, the years wrongfully incarcerated, an account of every instance of the defendant facing imminent death, and the compensation given for, in MANY instances, the decades spent behind bars for a crime they didn't commit. Occasionally, there were tears in the classroom! One of the biggest injustices is those who were repeatedly denied the chance to introduce new evidence post-conviction, especially after DNA tech was introduced. Another was the surprisingly high rate of erroneous eyewitness testimony. Classic, I'd have another instructor enter the room for a brief side discussion with me. After the other instructor left, I had the students give a complete description of him or her: height, hairstyle and color, clothes worn, tats, scars, etc. Remarkably poor results.
  10. How the f do you lose your deposit when the vendor can't supply the product they contracted for?? Just another massive grift. Bribes paid out years ago, can't cancel now.
  11. 5 stars for Medisafe. Good prices, good service.
  12. I don't think any of them were named "Pandora".
  13. You mean the same way the anti-socialism types on here eschew interstates, the internet, food and drug safety testing, etc.?
