$83 million for an "accusation" of sexual abuse and defamation is not really correct though is it. The original award was $5 million. Trump, as usual, didn't have the sense to keep his mouth shut and wait for the appeal of that case to play out and went ahead and used the same defamation again. The $83 million is 100% Trump's fault. And people claim he's smart.

Food reviews are a bit pointless unless you know the person writing the review has the same tastes as you. I don't care how many people review Marmite and say it tastes great, I still think it is disgusting.

Still dark in my neck of the woods at 6am.

I was disturbed by a lot of rustling beside me when I was having my morning coffee a few days ago. 20240305_054632~3.mp4

Not as cruel as you continuing to post on here yesterday while your wife was in tears over your imminent departure to greener pastures.

Are you living under a rock? In the last few years loads of laundry places have popped up with nice stainless steel front loaders and dryers. Saw two new ones last week within 100 metres of each other when I went to immigration. One of them in a PTT station. They had washers and dryers up to 28kg capacity. My medium size town has two places that I know of and I don't go looking for them.

If your problem is the AC in video one with the shoe then an earlier poster may be correct that you have a screw lose. Have you tried tightening the screws on the lid? If they are tight then remove the lid and check for rubber tape around the inside of the lid to stop it vibrating against the main case of the unit.

It's early in the morning and I haven't had a coffee yet but it seems like a terrible math lesson to me. Where did the $550 come from? Seems he confused 600% with $600 half way through the lesson.

Fox got stung for $750 million because they wouldn't retract what they broadcast. Seems at least the liberal media has enough sense and integrity to post retractions when their reporting is incorrect.

Cheapest flight I could get to the UK last July. May have been cheaper ones with lesser known airlines with out of the way routes but beat Qatar, Emirates, BA etc..

Does that include contrast? As the bill shows, if you require contrast it costs extra. Also I seem to recall Sheryl suggesting that if contrast is required it is best to use a hospital in case you have a bad reaction to the contrast medium.

15,000 baht for lower abdomen at a government hospital in Bangkok July last year.

The judge didn't decide the value on any of the properties that Trump owns, he used the values given at the time by the local tax assessors. When Mar A Largo was valued at $26 million for tax assessment Trump sent his lawyers to court to argue it was worth less than that.

I would ask the bank about that plan first. Am pretty sure my wife was paid with a cashiers check for a property years ago in Samui. She took it to the bank there and expected to get the money. They told her cashiers checks had to be processed via head office and it would take a few days for the money to show in her account. Things may have changed by now.

As I said, it depends on your immigration office. My office require proof of meeting the financial requirements for the whole year. I can't be bothered to update my passbook regularly then get a new one when it is full. My preference is to get a one year statement and update my passbook on the day I do my extension. In and out in 11 minutes.

Immigration changed the financial requirements so you have to maintain certain levels in the bank for the whole year. At about the same time my bank would only go back about four weeks when I updated my book so unless I update it every month I end up with a consolidated entry which does not prove I maintained the required balance for the whole period. If your immigration office insists on proving you met the financial requirements for the whole year you either have to regularly update your passbook to avoid consolidated entries or get bank statements to cover the year.

I just use photocopies of an updated passbook with a transaction on the day of application to cover the few days between the last entry on the one year statement and the day I apply for the extension.

See your post that I quoted.

When has anything like that ever happened to you? Most of this mainly exists in social media and the outrage factory of right wing media. Yet to meet a single person who has even bothered to mention anything about personal pronouns yet the outrage factories would have you believe it is rampant. Who is Sam Smith?

What lenses are you paying for? My son gets distance glasses he uses for driving for 400 baht including frames. Why are you paying 4,000? I need progressive photochromic lenses and the cheapest I have found in Thailand are 14,000 baht. You don't seem aware of the vast differences in price depending on a person's requirements.

What makes you think the frames must be expensive? What type of lenses do his glasses have? Are they photochromic? Do they have anti reflective coating? Anti scratch coating? Are they bi-focal, progressive? I was quoted 22,000 to 28,000 in an optician in Bangkok for the type of lenses I require and the price of frames had not been discussed. You seem to know very little about the subject.

You need to say what type of lenses you have. For the price I assume they are progressive? The fit of the glasses can change how well you can see through progressive lenses. Higher up or lower down your nose changes the part of the lens you are looking through. I have issues when wearing a crash helmet as it tends to raise the glasses slightly. Plenty of videos on YouTube for how to adjust the fit. For the people who are suggesting you were ripped off on price they are just ignorant on the cost of progressive lens glasses in Thailand. Cheapest I have found were 15,000 baht four years ago. I now get mine from Zenni for 3,000 baht.

Go back in time only 100 years or so and look at all the things that would have been called "woke" using today's definition. Giving women the vote, extremely woke idea. Giving black people the vote, even more woke than letting women vote. Allowing mixed race schools, breaking the woke meter. I don't agree with everything they are pushing and think they are doing some of it too fast but things will probably sort themselves out over time. I thought it was the end of the world when that rock n roll music came along.

The Honda website states that prices start at 51,900 baht. There appear to be two models to choose from so the second model is likely to cost more than the starting price. If they are throwing in various things like a helmet, insurance and registration then they may add that too. Check and see exactly what you are getting.

Are you sure you are not "Woke"? I only ask because you seem to be easily offended and I have read that that is one of the symptoms of the "Woke mind virus".
