I would not call what happened to you, "been taxed".

Taxing for someone of the op's character.

Well that's a relief.

2020 has been an unusual year so perhaps the first ever hurricane to leave the Pacific could have topped it off.

The financial requirements for an extension of a retirement Visa haven't changed in the last 20 years. 

Eh? They changed Mar 2019? At least that is what is said one the form I signed at IO when I did my extension last year.

A student who identified herself with the nickname Fufu, 22, said the government had failed to boost the economy.

This seems like its Fufu beyond all reason.

Another one idiot driving while checking Line, FB,

Are you suggesting the current trend of octogenarians driving whilst face-timing and line messaging is causing more fatalities than covid perhaps?

trump on alleged sex trafficker ms. maxwell: I wish her well

Guy is seriously unhinged when choosing his words. On Sundays Fox New interview on a different subject he refers back to the 'beautiful second world war'.

So, if I still want to look at streaming-stuff (u-tube etc etc),

If by u-tube you mean YouTube, they stopped using Flash over 5 years ago. I'd uninstall Adobe Flash and forget it.

Surely not another 90 day online thread!? There's one with 3/4 million views in the pinned topics still active?

I did mine 3 weeks ago as did a friend, we both waited 3 days.

I was expecting it to be about the local chippy trying sell some overpriced battered dory.

Anyone left Thailand and re returned in the past one or two months I wonder with experiences to share? I am loathed to go as I could end up stuck outside with my 'home' here. Cannot see it changing anytime soon for me.

I'd get a Redmi or any Xiaomi phone - they are cheap and reliable. Good quality camera and they also come with IR blaster so you can turn your TV or aircon on / off,

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 แรม 4GB รอม 64GB สone is on Shopee for 4,200THB.

Or get a marriage visa without leaving? etc.

No such thing as a marriage visa, but we have always been able to get a Non O visa without leaving and extend it each year on reason of marriage.

I am sure people have gotten a certificate of entry when they had a valid re-entry permit.

Sounds like a cinch. I'll just tell the wife and kids in Bangkok I'll be back in a couple of few weeks then! Gotta getaway earn some dollars where they'll have me.????

We've got the 20litre bottles supplying the hot/cold vertical water dispensers around the home. Get through a 20l bottle a day with family of four and refill at the tap which is fitted with filters. Getting water delivered or buying from the shops is old school.

Both the van driver, who took the Egyptians from U-tapao airport to the hotel, and the cabbie, who took some of the Egyptians from their hotel to the mall, have been cleared of the disease.

Eh? How that work when the symptoms may not show up for 14 days? Quarantine?!! Not getting the whole story - more panic fear mongering to follow.

good, but at 1:31 hours a bit short for a full feature movie. The Cruel Sea (1953) at 2:06 hours is still the king

My take is that is was made for today's short attention span viewers, best seen as an immersive experience on the big screen. Not a drop of real water was used, the movie mostly done by computer remote control, much like many of the oil patch workers jobs these days.

The only way to address an issue is to be honest about it

The only way to address the issue is to fix the stupid gun laws. Until then Darwin rules, much like the nut jobs who spout freedom of expression to not wear a mask. It would be laughable but  isn't as it affects the rest of the world too.

What does putting into a new case accomplish?

Different hardware? I had a WD passport stop on me like you a while back. I pried open the case and put the disk in another adapter to USB port and it still didn't work. I then put the disk in a bay on a computer directly connected to the PC motherboard, and the drive worked again. I recovered all the data and as the disc was already over 3 years old I trashed it.
