  1. I did make this qualification: "maybe not the traditional landline phones." This might however not apply to corded VoIP services that will work with the "+" symbol in lieu of the international access code. The older PSTN handsets don't have provision for that symbol, whilst newer VoIP handsets with a display screen may have them.
  2. One thing to keep in mind....whilst Biden signed the bill, it was the Republican-dominated congress that got it there in the first place.
  3. Not at all. VPNs are a simple tools to collate all the data they need. Spy agencies them.
  4. Remember you need to use the "+" symbol, then the country code (66 for Thailand, 61 for Australia) and then the area code (minus the "0") and finally local number. That should work on all mobiles, but maybe not the traditional landline phones. Press "0" on your keypad and hold for about a second for the "+" symbol to appear.
  5. Just go to the bar well prepared. You should have at least something left over for the cops after paying the check-bin.
  6. He's no longer the CEO. In fact, I'm surprised that he allows himself to be seen in public and his dog hasn't run away from home. Link
  7. No problem. I am curious how you got on - and which call centre you got connected to. So do report back if you have a few minutes. My own experience with QF hasn't been great, sometimes waiting over an hour in a queue before getting through. That said, the standard of service once getting through to a human was 10/10. The new CEO has promised improvements, but that remains to be seen.
  8. As mentioned, yesterday was a public holiday in Australia. They don't provide a 24/7 call service and I suspect all their global numbers will redirect to a call centre based in Australia (or at the least a call centre working to their time zones). The lines open Monday - Friday at 8.30 am. Thailand would be 3 hours behind AEST - so 5.30am - try in about 15 minutes.
  9. I have not been able to dial an Aussie "13" number from Thailand. Your only possibility for those numbers is to use a VoIP service based in Australia.
  10. Are you dialling 66 26326611 or +66 26326611 Yes, in Thailand you should be able to drop the "+66" - but you need to substitute that with a "0" i.e. 02 6326611 The "001..." might be a US number, but "toll free". Not sure how that would work if you are using a Thai carrier. The number that you have there is for their Frequent Flyer Line but you might also want to try +1 800 6114797 or failing that: 001 800 611 4797 That number was shown on their AU website. Keep in mind their hours are shown as 8.30am to 5pm, Monday to Friday (except public holidays). Allow for time differences. Yesterday was Anzac day in Australia, so that might explain your issues.
  11. Most people already subscribe to carry a tracking device in their pockets.
  12. Survey: What's the first thing that you do in the morning? instagram_1713425097046.mp4
  13. By "cement" most people actually mean concrete. Cement is one of the key components in concrete. For the record, most modern high rise buildings structurally use steel & glass exteriors. Concrete may be often used in the compression members for the lower stories of multi-story buildings.
  14. No one is forcing anyone to eat plant based meat-substitutes. But likewise no-one can deny that the vegan & vegetarian market is huge and continuing to grow. India alone has about 185 Million vegans. FWIW - I love my meat too much to ever consider going full Vegetarian. But that's not to say that I can't enjoy a vegetarian meal and I find the new meat-substitutes have excellent taste & texture. Until a few years ago they didn't compete - now there's almost nothing to differentiate the real & the faux product. Some people may not even pick the difference in a blind taste test.
