  1. You mean like these war bonds in support of Ukraine, from Canada. Took my full allotment last fall https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/programs/financial-sector-policy/ukraine-sovereignty-bond.html
  2. Been happening since Day 1, but the ICC is just now investigating
  3. https://www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/wartime-ukraines-election-dilemma Ukraine’s constitution holds that the country may not hold parliamentary elections until martial law, in effect since February 24, 2022, is lifted, and for six months thereafter. It's easily googled, but that doesn't fit into your FUD narrative that you push out on a daily basis as an "expert"
  4. I'm building a new house in Edmonton and my sauna has a timer on it, seems like a no brainer to me
  5. I got my past bank records for a court case by phoning SCB's head office in Bangkok After ID verification she asked my the dates required, I went back 10 years, and about 15 minutes later I got a PDF document of 90 some pages with every transaction in the last decade. As always with banks, you have to find "that" person I would recommend phoning head office and not to deal with a local branch
  6. It's not a cheap thing to put on, lots of setup and lots of money involved https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/mje/2024/04/29/is-hosting-an-f1-race-financially-feasible/ To answer that question, it is important to start at the beginning of the business operation track owners embark on in hosting. And from the beginning they are already losing money. If they do not already have one, they must design and build a track typically costing upwards of $270 million, with yearly maintenance fees averaging $18.5 million (Balla, 2023). Moreover, these costs do not even include the necessary track additions for races such as grandstands (~$14 million), safety barriers and fencing (~$8 million), race pits, offices, parking lots etc., (Sylt, 2017). But if miraculously, owners already have all this, they do not avoid paying up. After a track is in place and Liberty Media, the owner of Formula One, has completed its necessary track inspections, track hosts must pay a hosting/race promotion fee to Liberty Media. This fee must be paid for every single race hosted and is estimated to be between $15-50 million and upwards for prime time races like the Qatar Grand Prix towards the end of the season (Bodsworth, 2023).
  7. Then you have to do what I did, get a family lawyer, he submits the paperwork to Family Social Services I had to go for a lengthy interview with a social worker, bring a translator. Had to have 2 supporting witnesses to verify what I had said. These documents get sent to the family court About 3 months later I stood in front of a judge and was granted 100% Parental Powers. When my son and I moved back to my home country these documents were gone over and copied before my son (10yo) got a stamp in his Thai passport saying all documents had been seen/read and he was good to go. Didn't get this amount of scrutiny for a vacation previously but for emigrating they were quite thorough.
  8. It warms my heart to see occupier refineries ablaze
  9. A Different sort of Pontiac. 1969 Pontiac Beaumont, made for the Canadian market, it's a Chevelle with a different grill and some bits inside. Mine had a 350ci/350hp stock engine Worst decision I ever made, in 1980 I had the chance to buy a 1969 Camaro factory stock 427CI 4 speed for 8,000 dollars. It still had the dealer stickers in the back window. I said no way and bought a new Harley Davidson Sturgis twin belt.
  10. Was working on the Yadana Pipeline for PTT in 97, getting paid in USD so our money effectively doubled. Was some worry about banks collapsing but our advice was to use the purple bank, I was told it was at that time majority owned by the King and that the country would have to be in flames before that bank would go under. Looking at condos in Pattaya for my boss, Royal Cliff had some amazing fire sale prices Food was cheap, living was cheap, life was good.
  11. How can this be? Ukraine has been crushed s/
  12. But sanctions don't work, according to the bots
