How Fast Can You Touch Type? Does It Matter Now?
My Jr. High science teacher taught us to type in 1970, 71 Didn't really use it untill I bought my first laptop in 1996, sat down closed my eyes and typed the alphabet successfully , still in there after 25 years. I can touch type up to about 50 wpm and thank Mr French for that ability every day. I worked in a computer heavy job from 1995 until 2020, can't see how people do it without touch typing I taught my son how to type with the help from an online system, he says it's invaluable. I don't understand why they don't make typing instruction universal in school

Nato: Warm words but a diplomatic reality check for Ukraine
Your feeling don't align with the facts https://thehill.com/policy/international/3693846-most-ukrainians-support-fighting-until-war-is-won-survey/ The offensive is working in Ukraine's favor, it's not a TV series or movie. Offensive's against a entrenched enemy take time unless you use invader tactics and try and send conscripts to their death in a frontal push.

Arrested for Overstay by Immigration Police
The Canadian government can do anything they want to my, yours, or your friends passport, that's because we do not own them. Read page 1 of your passport, "This passport is the property of the Government of Canada" They can cancel it, revoke it or do anything they want with it without anyone's permission or notification because they own it, not us Trying to sue the government over this is I think futile, I would be interested to see the outcome of the case though. Good on your friend for catching up on the child care though

Arrested for Overstay by Immigration Police
So, A problem of entirely his own fault. Not some grand conspiracy case of the Bangkok embassies incompetence and poor service and ineptitude I dealt with the Bangkok Canadian embassy for 25 years, multiple passports, registering my son for citizenship, Canadian visa for my then wife. All done courteously and efficiently. I have been in the embassy and seen some epic meltdowns by people that aren't prepared/expect some premium service that embassies don't provide. Is the CBC still going to do an investigative article about the dead beat dad? He'll won't be able to renew his drivers license and vehicle registration also without paying his past child support Good luck trying to sue the government

Policy 713: LGBT school policy change causes political turmoil in Canada
We seem to live in the era of clickbait headlines, scream some silly, cherry picked facts to attract eyeballs. According to statcan, New Brunswick population in 2023 is estimated to be 787,014 people What is happening in tiny New Brunswick affects the population of Canada not at all and certainly is not causing "political turmoil in Canada"

Divorce and runaway kids
His room didn't get into this kind of state in one day. So, as a single father, as am I, also with full parental powers, with an 11 year old Thai/Canadian son where are your housekeeping standards? My son and I mop the floors together and vacuum the rugs, he does the laundry because I taught him how to do so, have you? I show him how to cook and buy food, change a light switch, build Ikea furniture, etc, you know dad things speak to him respectfully and it will be returned My son and I say please and thank you and your welcome to each other because I taught being polite is free and beneficial, and I try lead by example You've obviously ignored this for weeks if not longer and then expect him to tidy it when you decide Get your son, and together tidy the place up together, set a standard, follow it yourself and he might also. It won't sink in a day but keep that standard up. If I was your kid I'd go to moms place also Learn some dad skills and lose the "It's my way because I say so"

First Thai ID for a Thai/Foreigner child
When I did my son's ID card it was quite simple. Go to the amphur office and get his picture taken in the office and they make the plastic card right there, much like getting your drivers license

Required strength CBD oil for a good night sleep
The first one, I took the entire gummy and within 30 minutes I was out and more importantly to me, stayed asleep for 6 hours. Felt great the next morning with no hangover like effects. The second one I tried once with about the same results. There are a ton of options with gummies and oils in the shops and different shops have different suppliers so I will be slowly experimenting.

Required strength CBD oil for a good night sleep
As an aid for sleep this topic interests me and I did a little research at my local dispensaries, I'm in Alberta, Canada where all this is legal and tightly controlled The first pic is of a gummy I tried last night and it worked like a charm, best sleep I've had in years and no after affects in the morning It was advised that this is for relaxation That one has a combination of THC 5mg, CBN of 2.5mg, very nice elderberry taste and 30 min after taking I was out. Gummy with bic lighter for scale. The second one I bought today after yesterdays good results. This one is sold as a sleep aid. CBN of 5mg, CBG of 5mg and CBD of 20mg Trying it tonight. Agree with @Kenney 202, these things look and taste just like kids candy, so if you've got little ones about put them in a safe place
