Phone probably not working after the battery had been drained.

Such nice music. RIP Christine.

England are so good that they have never beaten the USA in the World Cup. Fancy that!

The cost of living in London can be quite expensive now. Monthly rent alone can be 80-100,000 baht. The monthly electricity bill over 10,000 baht in the winter months.

Cafe Amazon on Sukhumvit Soi 21. On right-hand side of the street. Maybe 10 minutes walk from Sukhumvit end. I have used my laptop there.

You're right but that being said, web3 is much more convenient to use than "application using blockchain technology" ????

"Scam", a much better description.

Here's some investment advice- buy at the bottom, sell at the top. I can't see Bitcoin going away anytime soon. Whether it's reached its nadir yet is a moot point, but a truism of investment advice is you can't time the market. Personally, if I had a few pennies to spare, I wouldn't be adverse to buying, as a purely speculative investment. Just remember "not your keys, not your coins".

The bottom?

Like to see the Gop shut Garland/ Smith down !How many investigations on Trump,will this make!

Some, like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., even said that Republicans should use their newly won control of the U.S. House of Representatives to cut off funding for the investigation next Congress.

"Some, like Marjorie Taylor Greene...". That would presumably be the crazed election deniers and their Fox-watching fans.

I have tried to think why they want us to cash out and the only thing I can think of is that they are going to take the price higher very quickly. That's when the fear will turn to FOMO and many will be scambling to jump back in and buy back their favorite coins at a higher price.

 

Just guessing of course ????

FTX in Bahamas facing criminal probe. Good luck.

MAGA Snowflakes.

Trumpers throwing a tantrum.

Also smallish Gourmet Supermarket downstairs at Terminal 21. Recommend the Wagyu Beef sandwiches and the prepared hot soups if you are visiting.

The risk is relying on the second property income to pay the mortgage. If the rental income stops then the primary property defaults to the loan company. There is a reason why banks (at least in the UK) will primarily only lend against declared income. If you are still wanting to proceed and with a loan company rather than a bank, then beware their business model maybe assuming high degree of risk you will default.

Not knowing these facts has nothing to do with being wise or stupid.

I am more concerned with i.e. the lady yesterday who used a calculator to add up 1000 + 750. And obviously there are many of them.

 

I am not sure how much difference it makes but in part I blame the stupid woke inclusive activism. Now some universities make inclusivity their main reason to exist. It's not anymore about teaching math or science it's about crazy political correctness, 100 different pronounces and all that <deleted>.

And obviously people must be hired because they are part of a minority group. If (especially large) companies have a candidate who is trans and black and a lesbian then that person has 100 points advantage compared to that straight white male candidate. Qualification? Experience? Who cares, as long as they can prove that they support inclusivity etc. It's crazy and it's getting worse.

 

And for the record: I am fine if black and trans and lesbians and whatever are hired. But they should be hired because of their qualification and not some woke attribute. 

Unfortunately there is a plague of really stupid people who think they are being smart by tediously banging on about their dog-whistle 'woke' obsessions. 

Far from being an eyesore, seeing the array of beach kites flapping on a breezy day is a nice view.

Seems, Prawit wants to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Baht Crisis by repeating it !
 

1997, when George Soros and the other banksters gambled against the Baht,

the politicians urged the Bank of Thailand to fight the depreciation against the Dollar,

in order to protect the Dollar-loans of Thai big shots, they took, when the Thai Baht was overvalued.

 

The final result of that was:

 

The Bank of Thailand exhausted its foreign reserves in meteoric speed

and the crash, which followed, was far worse.

 

 

 

 

Shorting is no more gambling than going long. Asian governments doing their King Canute routine are an inviting target. 

If the government wants to hold the USDTHB line at 35, then they will need to put up interest rates in response to the Fed and certainly not slow-walk those increases. The more likely scenario is that the government will drag it's heels. And then it's a slide to 40.

Their second favourite activity is gunning their motorbikes and beep-beeping all through the night.

Any friend returning to the UK should exchange them 1:1. All UK banks in the UK will swap them when they return. No time limit as previously indicated.
