  1. Get an offshore bank account to deposit your working salary into, transfer into Thailand living expenses, I used to do 10,000USD per transfer. No tax obligations anywhere. Did this for 25 years of my residence in Thailand with no blow back Standard Bank Offshore is inexpensive to set up
  2. I was raised on raw milk as a child. We milked our own cows and the milk went into stainless steel milk machines and then into the fridge, in rural northern Alberta, Canada First time I tasted store bought milk I thought it tasted like water No adverse affects. I would not seek out or buy raw milk from outside sources as you can never tell their handling of the milk. And most definitely not in Thailand where the cold chain is problematic, among other things Up to you as they say, but I wouldn't
  3. Every fridge I've bought in Thailand had wheels on it already. Just grab the sides and pull, easy for cleaning behind it.
  4. Nordstream 2 was hydro tested and ready for service, It was denied operating permits by Demark before the war happened. It might have had a very small load on the line, about 30 psi is what I have seen used elsewhere, but nowhere near operating pressure. The pictures of the sea bubbling is from Nordstream 1 which was at operating pressure, about 1000psi As to who blew them up, I wonder if we'll ever get the truth
  5. Getting 500kg of high explosive is not possible without strong state back up. Go to any hard rock mining site and they have literally tons of explosive on hand
  6. I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not yelling and screaming like his passengers. Old Joke.
  7. And if a 17 year old joins the Army he will receive the proper training and supervision on how to safely handle his rifle
  8. Against Mexicans it appears to not work so well. 50 ft wall and 51 ft ladder as one politician put it To Orcs on the otherhand it might as well be a force field
  9. https://reason.com/2022/09/21/russians-are-fleeing-the-threat-of-conscription/
  10. Which country? On my Canadian passport renewal/application the passport is by default kept and destroyed. There is a box I have to check off on the application to have my old passport returned to me, embassy has nothing to do with it. I've got all my old ones in my desk.
  11. Outraged about everything and ashamed of nothing
  12. I followed all the rules, got 2 vaccines in Thailand and 2 in Canada and didn't get Covid. Worked like a charm IMHO So your example is a single data point as is mine, and completely anecdotal
  13. Read that wrong https://store.ais.co.th/th/samsung-galaxy-a53-5g-8-128gb.html Anywhere from 9K to 14,5K depending
  14. Your model of Samsung from AIS is 18,000 baht https://store.ais.co.th/th/samsung-galaxy-a73-5g-8-128gb.html You won't have any problem bringing in a phone from outside Thailand and popping in a SIM, did it with mine all over the world while working
  15. And of course New Zealand had no indigenous people in it when the colonists arrived, invaded
  16. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_Fino
  17. Long read that's very light on facts and heavy on subjective writing What is his focus on 4 pipelines? being destroyed. I worked on both lines, Nordstream 1 is 48" diameter as is Nordstream 2, what other 2 pipelines were involved? Nordstream 1 has been in production for years Nordstream 2 was mechanically complete but not in service due to permitting issues
  18. Why not go to your local IO office and get a multiple entry stamp? Costs about 3000 baht and then you don't have to worry about forgetting. I always got one with my retirement renewal for work reasons
  19. Looks like they are dipping into the gold reserves because of sanctions. special operations are expensive it seems. The Russian Finance Ministry sold 3.6 tonnes of gold from the Russian National Wealth Fund in January 2023; this was the first such sale to cover the country’s federal budget deficit. https://news.yahoo.com/russia-sold-gold-national-wealth-090859424.html Slava Ukraine
  20. https://www.homepro.co.th/p/1002322 I used this under my backdoor and patio awning, was quite happy with it. Turned a heat trap into ambient temperature Easy to install
  21. Don't have to understand his thinking or where it comes from. The road to peace starts with the invaders leaving Ukraine. Slava Ukraine
  22. I'm sure they get more data from Tik Tok than from a balloon
  23. https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/01/australia/australia-radioactive-capsule-found-intl-hnk/index.html Search teams found the missing capsule not far from the Rio Tinto mine, suggesting it fell off the truck soon after departure.
  24. 19 becquerels you could put in your pocket 19 Giga becquerels you shouldn't ( Sarcasm intended) There is an inverse square formula for exposure activity If your getting say 1000 MR at 6m distance if you cut the distance in half you double the rate 3.0M = 2000 MR/HR 1.5M = 4000MR/HR .75M = 8000MR/HR .375M = 16000MR/HR If it's .50 curie, 5 meters is completely safe. But when I do it I have a survey meter (GM detector) with me and I know where the source is. That's the crux of it. They don't know where it is.
