The clowns have even tariff-ed themselves by charging Diego Garcia (the site of a Joint Military Facility of the United Kingdom and the United States).

Here's a full list of tariffs applied unilaterally.... some of these locations don't even possess any human inhabitants but have been hit with 10% reciprocal tariffs! https://www.forbes.com/sites/mollybohannon/2025/04/02/heres-the-full-list-of-trumps-reciprocal-tariffs-announced-wednesday/

The Donald is literally holding up a sign full of lies. The column labeled "Tariffs Charged To The US" including for example 72% for Thailand is complete lies. 72% is a trade imbalance, not tariff! Some idiots think this is one and the same thing. The reason why Thailand sends more stuff to the US than the US sends here is common market sense, something a Donald follower does not seem to possess. This is BS and DECEPTION at the highest level, as it doesn't get any higher than the White House. The trade imbalances described as "tariffs" by the White House in this context are based on goods only, not goods and services. This selective focus allows them to maximize the perceived deficit, justify higher tariffs, and target physical imports, but it also opens them up to accusations of cherry-picking data. If you’re looking at real-world trade, like a Thai person buying from Amazon, the situation is more complex—services (like Amazon’s cloud computing) and digital goods might not face tariffs at all, while physical goods could face the 7% import duty, which is unrelated to the White House’s 72% figure.

Had you heard there is a war on?

Several sources, such as travel blogs, news articles, and forums (e.g., Skeptics Stack Exchange, Quora, Thaiger, and others), mention this no underwear rule. They often cite historical decrees or cultural norms rather than a specific, current law. Here’s what the sources suggest: Historical Context: Some sources point to a decree from January 15, 1941, during the era of Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram, which mandated that "Thais should not appear in public, populous places, or municipal areas without proper clothing." This included prohibitions on appearing in public wearing only underwear or no shirt. However, this decree and other similar cultural mandates were reportedly repealed by 1944, according to historical accounts like "Fall of the Phibun Government, 1944" (page 117). Current Legal Framework: The Thai Penal Code, particularly Section 388, addresses "indecent acts" in public, which includes "shamelessly exposing oneself or committing other indecent acts." The penalty for violating this section is a fine of up to 500 Baht. While this section could theoretically be interpreted to include not wearing underwear if it results in indecent exposure, there are no documented cases of people being prosecuted specifically for not wearing underwear under their outer clothing. The law focuses more on overt public nudity or behavior that offends public morality.

And what was it called before it was colonized! The name Myanmar has a history from long before the illegal junta or the colonialists came on the scene. The name has been around since before the US government was created. The current policy of having a US Embassy in Rangoon , Burma is farcical?

Investors don't like uncertainty and thats what they are certainly getting so far.

They could learn from history, if the records haven't already been deleted in the DEI purges! The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, signed into law in June 1930, significantly increased tariffs on imported goods, aiming to protect American businesses and farmers, but ultimately worsened the Great Depression by triggering retaliatory tariffs and a sharp decline in international trade.

Earthquake Drunk Syndrome is very similar to the feeling of having set foot ashore after days at sea, as both involve the brain and vestibular system struggling to recalibrate after exposure to abnormal motion, be it days or 15 seconds. The primary difference lies in the trigger and context, but the underlying mechanism—sensory mismatch and vestibular adaptation—is largely the same. If symptoms persist or are severe, medical advice, such as vestibular therapy or stress management, is recommended, as outlined in guidelines from health ministries (e.g., Thailand's Ministry of Public Health) and research studies.

Earthquake Drunk Syndrome (EDS), also known as Post-Earthquake Dizziness Syndrome (PEDS), is similar to the feeling one experiences after spending days at sea on a boat and then setting foot ashore, a phenomenon often referred to as "getting one's sea legs" or Mal de Débarquement Syndrome (MdDS). Both conditions involve a disruption in the body's balance system, specifically the vestibular system, which is responsible for maintaining equilibrium and spatial orientation.

I'll be renewing mine months in advance just in case, also so that my next extension is a full year Anyone on an annual extension seriously needs to think about renewing their passport well in advance of 1 months expiry date like the op. I am getting my pp renewed within an 18 month window beforehand so that my annual extensions run continuously.

Unlike the rest of the planet, the US cannot even get the name of the country correct, so don't expect much in the way of aid from them.

My point was my Wise came thro in seconds this week, so I won't be looking for alternatives.

Looks like a short column slab design that is unsuited to unstable ground, but cheaper to build. That said their Facebook page for the construction company refers to the design as "Their Pride" and implies it is a design feature.

I'm guessing its mindless political bs along with the drink talking. Another one on my ignore list.

There is no profit when you sell stuff to yourself! He is just restructuring the companies.

But its superfluous. I always use a personal calendar.
