House speaker accepts draft charter amendment bill to clip senators’ wings
It would be neat if they found a loophole where absentees/abstainers are removed from the 750 total, so they only need >50% of members actually present. Say 200 abstain 750-200 = 550. Now only 276 yes votes needed.

Pattaya Police Launch Major Anti-crime Operation Specifically Targeting Foreign Criminals and Fugitives
So, this one is confusing: "In the fourth case, officers from the Chonburi Immigration Office, in collaboration with the Tourist Police and Interpol, apprehended Mr. Zhang, a 41-year-old Chinese national, in Soi 18 Naklua in Pattaya on overstaying charges. It was discovered that Mr. Zhang had been residing in Thailand for over 5 years without a proper visa. A police questioning revealed that he had entered Thailand on May 26th, 2015, and had been granted permission to stay until July 29, 2018. However, when Mr. Zhang’s permission to stay had expired, he refused to notify the authority and had remained in the country illegally for a total of 2,160 days. Mr. Zhang explained that his prolonged stay was due to a pending asset-related case in China, and he feared facing legal consequences if he returned. As a result, he had been taking refuge in Thailand. He was undergoing legal processes." First, if he was granted "permission to stay until July 29, 2018.", he has not, "been residing in Thailand for over 5 years without a proper visa"., as it is only 7 July in Pattaya. Second, July 29 2018 to July 7 2023 is only 1,803 days, so how was he, "...residing in Thailand for over 5 years without a proper visa"? Must be Thai math, where 4.93 years rounds up to "over 5 years". Third, what the heck does, "...undergoing legal processes." mean?

Jomtien Immigration Upgrade
I was about 2 hours today applying for a new non-imm O visa. I picked up the application when I was there last week. Great service! They also gave me a list of requirements. You tell one of the 3 very polite young Thais sitting behind the table what you want to do, they look at your passport, and reach into a file to find the appropriate form for you. No queue number until ALL forms are filled out! I had everything filled out and organized. Presented my papers and was given a DIFFERENT list of much more onerous requirements regarding mostly residency. Anyway, got it all done in 2 hours. 28 pages total, in triplicate, with signature required on all but 1 page. OK service from the you-know-who lady at window 7! ????

Linguistically Speaking: Are Your Verbal Skills, These Days, Steadily Waning? What’s to be Done?
Over the last year, in order to retain linguistic skills, I've started to do various word and number puzzles on a regular basis. I also make an effort to remember actors, their names IRL, and roles they've played. I'm terrible at this! ????
