What on Earth are your going on about? Are you OK? High fever hallucinations? Need me to call you a doctor?

Of course, just above your post

I would not know what someone without PR requires, in my case, the blue house registration was only document they actually looked at, although I've also provided certificate of residence (blue or white PR booklet), red alien registration from police and passport. None was touched. They obviously wanted old pink ID which they cut after issuing new one. I got some forms to sign, and photo taken. 20 minutes and 60 baht later I had new pink card in my hand.

Xiaomi 14 (at least Ultra) has a "Battery protection" setting where you can cap charging to 80%. There's another one for optimizing battery or something like that, which learns when you pull phone off charging pad, and tops up from 80 to 100% just before you take it off. Admittedly, even without all this, my battery on previous phone lasted over 5 years (Huawei P30 Pro).

Worth for me. I have some semi professional video and photo equipment, but it's big and heavy, hence I was looking for something not too far off, and got Xiaomi 14 Ultra. It fits in the pocket and has quite a good low light capability with 1" class sensor. Also the real aperture control makes a nice bokeh. On the flip side, dynamic range isn't stellar, images are very surgical, and while AI can recover some blurred details as well as Picasso... Seriously, on both, Oppo X7 Ultra does a far better job. So camera and solid build are my main reasons to paying premium. But another reason that got me to change was actually security update. While flipping through the settings I noticed my previous phone had last security update over 2 years old. With all the apps we're forced to use on phones, updates are very important. Premium phones generally come with 5 years of updates, so my current phones have last update in January 2025. I'm also using iPhone, alas 14 Pro Max, a heavy brick. But that's for work as I still don't trust Google enough to put anything sensitive on Android phone. Camera on iPhone is of reasonable quality, but a far cry from what Xiaomi produces.

Oh you'll love this. Forget the video. Read the comments! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgvEnDkNUfg

Singapore has a bunch of iPads at the writing desks before immigration where people used to fill in arrival cards by pens, but admittedly it was far faster to fill out paper card than going through a bunch of pages of form that looked much like a visa application. When completed I was asking staff there how to get proof I filled it out and was told to take a photo of confirmation page. At the immigration officer's station I could see my information just typed in appear on his screen. This was my first time there after COVID when I was unaware of this change. The plus side of it of course (had I known about it prior to the flight) would have been filling that form at home and saving myself time and trouble at arrival. In SG, that form needs to be filled out by every tourist, but unsure about Singaporeans (unlikely) or their permanent residents (also unlikely).

Where's MAGA crowd to defend this one?

By using one of these:

Maybe along these lines:

Need to add: 6. Grand Healthy Lifestyle: Offering exclusive opportunities to get lung cancer in record time

Basically. It's not worth arguing with an idiot.

There was so much poor working class in attendance at his inauguration... Look at all these poor sods...

Isn't that the job for US customs, or do you want to outsource it to foreigners?

Something similar but way cheaper is CGM from Ottai. I'll put link below, but main thing is that it connects to your phone (no reader needed, but they have a watch for people who don't want to connect them to their phone), it reads every 5 minutes, has 30 minutes warm up time, lasts 14 days and costs below 1000 baht. A 1 piece sensor like Libra, just no yogurt cup assembly needed before installation. In their app, there's "average level" and from looking at what it showed in there vs test done in hospital, it was within 0.1 margin a few times now. Hence CGM, costing below 2000 baht/month for 2 sensors, could well give you what you're looking for, and on top of that, show you real-time glucose level (it's very close to blood check), has a little bubble that can show all the time on phone screen, compares with previous days, allows you to enter meals and exercise to make sense of how your body reacts to it, etc. Below is a kit of 2 sensors for 1 month. You'll just need an Android or Apple phone to install app from Playstore/Appstore. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/ottai-glucose-monitoring-set-2pcs-continuous-glucose-meter-no-finger-pricking-m8-cgm-monitoring-sensor-i5469004482-s23190036584.html

Not going to answer about your passport, but certainly wish to congratulate you for reaching such a respectable age. To many more years!

And yet you're the first to open the post and comment...

It's so refreshing to see all these new faces in Thai politics...

On the flip side, can US afford World's best and only 2nm foundry to become Chinese? That would put Silicon Valley in the position of Huawei under Trump 1.0.

Why would TSMC bother with Donald's demands? Intel's foundry sucks. Samsung is marginally better but incapable of producing the volumes it needs. AMD, nVidia, Qualcomm, Apple, etc. rely 100% on semiconductors from TSMC. If he slams the tariffs on them, he's only killing American companies. I say - let him do it.

On the flip side.... if you were Fox News, you could turn the table and say he's a winner, number 1, the alpha, the most disapproved President in American history! That's an amazing achievement.

No need for this. He already has a fake TIME cover with him on it hanging on the walls of 5 of his golf clubs... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40427357

Put a gun on his head and force him to lick it up first!
