  1. Any recommendations for a new refrigerator/freezer? I have three key wishes: 1. Freezer at the bottom 2. Width 60 cm 3. It needs to be able to maintain a temperature of max 3-4 degrees in the refrigerator and below -15 degrees in the freezer. It seems impossible to get a shop to guarantee the third point. I am not sure if it is because they do not understand what I am saying or because my current refrigerator/freezer is very much out of the norm, while all other models work fine. My current refrigerator/freezer, a Panasonic NR-BT228, is certainly not up to the job. If I get down to 5 degrees in the refrigerator, the freezer cannot get below -5 degrees. It has been like that since I bought it.
  2. Your advice is sound when going from the airport to Bangkok. However, this thread is about a taxi from the airport to Pattaya. As far as I know, they do not use taximeter when going out of Bangkok.
  3. Great to know that the best possible help is on the way. We have seen how effective it is to prevent mass killings with AR-15 riffles.
  4. So, you have one person some 100 years ago - when the times was different and you did not have the means to check sources or facts the way you do today; his writings means that everything The New York Times has published since are lies and cover ups? Does that include the article where New York Times wrote this: "And having bet on Stalin's rise in the 1920's, Mr. Duranty remained loyally partial to his horse. The result was some of the worst reporting to appear in this newspaper." https://www.nytimes.com/1990/06/24/opinion/the-editorial-notebook-trenchcoats-then-and-now.html If all you can do is refer to a person dead long before I and most people in here were born, then you have failed miserable to prove that New York Times lies and cover up for the government. By the way, you can find newer examples of rogue journalists at New York Times; you can find those at any news outlets. The difference between the serious ones and the not serious ones is how they handle mistakes and errors.
  5. I see a name, I do not see any links. I guess you cannot back up your claim that CNN and New York Times has a proven track record of lies and cover ups. Not that I am surprised.
  6. Do you have any souce for that proven track record?
  7. You may not agree on the ones I mention here, in which case you simply do not understand how serious news outlets work. I used to work as a journalist and believe me when I tell you that New York Times and Washington Post have standards that any serious news outlet in other countries tries to emulate. There are many other serious outlets, those two are the best known to a foreigner like me. Someone earlier mentioned Hunter's laptop as an example that the mainstream media is biased. On the contrary, that case had many signs saying it was fake; thus they didn't publish. Not to protect Hunter. The same mainstream media didn't publish the Steele dossier because they could not verify it's claims. They did not do it to protect Trump. In both cases, they tried to protect the truth. Do the mainstream media make mistakes, surely, like everybody does. The difference is that they admit and correct their mistakes. An example: https://www.nytimes.com/international/section/corrections
  8. I do not see that it contradicts anything I wrote. The problem is people reading and viewing outlets that are not serious news outlets; outlets that willingly and purposely spread lies and rumours. It has been clear for some time that USA has a cult (partly due to those outlets) and the usual way to get people out of a cult is to de-program them. Added: A way to de-program people can be to get them to read/view the serious news outlets.
  9. I have never hears that Dems only want people to listen to MSM, I think you are making up stuff. In the serious news outlets, it doesn't matter which party, if any, a journalist is registered to; they have a big beautiful wall between news and opinion. Those outlets also value facts over lies and they try to check things before they publish and if not true or if they cannot confirm the things, they do not publish them.
  10. If you cared to read my answer before answering it, you will see that I gave the same link. So, yes, I have read that page. That is also the page that says 12-15,000. They are not US citizens: https://www.usa.gov/who-can-vote
  11. 12-15,000 added to a population of 58,662 (in 2020). But why let reality cloud your mind. https://springfieldohio.gov/immigration-faqs/ https://data.census.gov/profile/Springfield_city,_Clark_County,_Ohio?g=060XX00US3902374118
  12. What bias? That serious news outlet does not bring unverified rumours? I am sure they are trying to verify the story, but they will not bring it unless they can.
  13. Or worse still, my wife put it in a safe place, and didn't tell me where. Or worse still, your wife put it in a safe place, and she told you where - but you´re too old to remember.
  14. I asked because I have a feeling that the policy about attending in person may depend on the office handling the notification - same as some other policies can differ from office to office.
  15. Read it carefully regarding mail option. Nothing to do with email. My bad, I meant online, not email. As I read the page, you have three options, in person, email, or online; thus, it should not be mandatory to report in person or mail the first time.
  16. As far as I can read, that page says it is possible to report by email. It does not say that the first time has to be in person or mail.
  17. Please send this to Google Maps!
  18. No, you cannot skip fields with red asteriks. I am pretty sure that field is not there when you apply for the DTV.
  19. I I did but I didn't have to as I did not upload a copy of the ticket, only gave them the flight number and a date. I did submit my application a couple of months before, but I was not told to do so. They took almost three weeks to handle the application, but I think it would have been faster if I have applied closer to my intended departure. I applied in Denmark using the evisa webpage.
  20. Maybe that is the case for a person living in Thailand; however, for a winter bird the DTV is a lot better than the Non-O with multiple entries I used to get. It costs less, and I do not need to leave Thailand after 90 days. There is one uncertainty, though, the number of years you get when renewing a driving license. One member has reported he got five years, if that holds true, I see no downside of the DTV for a winter bird.
  21. I am sure the usual suspects in here will agree with you if they saw the answers to some of the other questions in the poll. The poll had a lot of questions, not only about Taylor Swift; however, for some reason the New York Post did not mention all of them in that article. For instance, they did not mention who the poll said won the debate: 4. Who do you think won Tuesday’s presidential debate?

  22. Or ... it is one of those AI generated articles.
  23. He had a five year license. What you get depends on your visa, if you renew a five year license on a tourist visa you only get two years. The DTV is new and technically it is a tourist visa; thus, there have been some debate whether it gives you two or five years.
