  1. The third judge was Republican William Pryor who was nominated by POTUS G.W. Bush but initially installed in 2004 as circuit Court Judge. In 2005 he was confirmed to the Eleventh Circuit.
  2. View email source message. It provides physical information regarding the email passage, ie., origin ISP, who really sent it, spoofed sender name, etc.
  3. 'Sorta like' Musk: self-taught coder, BA in Physics, BS in Economics, PhD Materials Science, technology innovator (Boring Co., SpaceX, StarLink, Tesla, Powerwall, City-sized MW Battery Storage Systems, Neuralink, Robotics), Musk $190 billion net worth vs Kanye $6.6 billion. Not smart on women, visionary & problem solver Myers-Briggs INTP (The Architect) vs Kanye ENFP. A but of stretch for overall comparison.
  4. "I like Hitler" Ignorant. If Kanye had been in Nazi Germany, he would have been considered an inferior race. Hitler considered that Blacks 'bastardized' the White race. But then Kanye likes former POTUS Trump.
  5. It's not a jihad but an insurrection. Malay Muslms (as distinguished from 'generic' Muslims that migrated to or born in Thailand Central and Northern provinces post 1700's) in the Southern Provinces have a unique language, cultural history and traditions dating back to the sovereign Kingdom of Patani. They were in effect an "indigenous people." But the Kingdom of Patani was subjugated by force by the Kingdom of Siam in the 1700's. Since that time Thailand has sought to nationalize Patani's Muslim institutions, control its economy and diminish the cohesiveness that Islam brought to the Malay Muslems.
  6. This convinction should give DOJ more mandate/spine to criminally charge Trump for seditious conspiracy. NOW.
  7. Start? I recall that in 2016 the police and military arrested and fined 30+ people for playing Bridge. Same year (aseannews.com) the military arrested 8 senior pensioners for playing dominoes. So if it's dominoes, cards, mahjong or game involving dice, play it at home with your family. Ain't freedom great?
  8. If paying a government tax for a personal stock loss - wrong. Ever hear of stock volatility? The tax is in effect double jeopardy for the investor. But might boost less volatile bond sales. If a new government tranaction tax is against the stock broker, brokers can adjust their charges to traders who place orders to buy/sell stocks, irrespective whether the trader gains or loses on subsequent trade.
  9. I agree with your conclusion theoretically. But how did you confirm this is the case? See the drawings your self or another news source? Furthermore, a road drain placed within the traffic way ( ie., road center) means the road surface must be inverted towards the center of the road. A drain is typically placed at the roadway edge by a crown in the roadway where water needs to be directed away from the road surface that otherwise may create ponding on the road.
  10. Centralization of government to the federal level is a major key to successful military coups, military political control down to village levels (see role of ISOC) and pro-military Parliament legislative control. This proposed bill "explodes" such fascist-like government control. Albeit, it provides significant power shift to the whole Thai electorate and political/budgetary grass roots accountability. Just what one might expect in a democracy. The bill will fail. It is anti-nationalism.
  11. Replace the Minister of Defense.
  12. Or in street protests, a "leg to stand on."
  13. With abortion legal in Thailand, why deliver an unwanted baby, especially with intent to abandon it to a likely death? The abandonment may be considered an attempted homicide and RTP needs to investigate.
  14. Is it infringement on True's recent negotiated rights when perhaps already previously in place with customers, ie., by earlier SBN subscriptions? It might be that True would actually owe royalties to SBN and others who had pre-existing subscriptions in place that specifically included access to all World Cup matches, especially if they in turn had to make royalty payments to the World Cup association for such rights. More background information is needed for a legal conclusion to support True's exclusive Cup broadcast rights in Thailand.
  15. Yes. By raising the PM cycle target to 3.5.
  16. It was a bankruptcy-driven restructuring plan resulting from many years of losses and continuous infusion of capital from the Thai Treasury (Thailand having majority interest). Creditors would have likely forced a restructuring plan regardless of the Covid-19 pandemic.
  17. Thanks Thailand, I'm sure Chinese BYD will appreciate the competition (and betrayal?). March 20, 2015 BYD Enters Thai Market With K9 Electric Buses and e6 EVs https://electriccarsreport.com/2015/03/byd-enters-thai-market-with-k9-electric-buses-and-e6-evs/ The two models to be launched simultaneously are: K9 electric bus with the length of 12 meters, 250 horsepower, and a single charge of 5 hours yielding the driving range of 250 km Sept. 8, 2022 China’s BYD Signs Deal to Build First EV Plant in Thailand https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-08/china-s-byd-signs-land-deal-to-build-first-ev-plant-in-thailand Thai plant will be Chinese EV maker’s first in Southeast Asia
  18. Or escape Crimea beaches from Ukrainian military advances, ie., to a country with great winter beaches and a Russian sympathetic government? aka Blood Money for Thailand.
  19. Be very careful with a foreign heir vs Thai heir. See Thailand's Condominium Act: succession and inheritance For example: "When it comes to inheritance by foreigners the Condominium Act is not foreign friendly and in general foreign heirs must dispose of the unit acquired by last will or succession laws within 1 year of the date of acquisition by inheritance. If the successor fails to dispose of the condo the Director-General of the Land Department is authorized to dispose of the condominium and retain a fee of 5% of the sale price before any deductions or taxes." "In case of an unqualified foreign heir of a condominium apartment unit the solution could be to become qualified under section 19, e.g he buys the condominium out of the estate for a price at least equal to the government appraised value." https://www.samuiforsale.com/real-estate/condo-inheritance.html A forced sale doesn't necessarily translate to fair market value.
  20. The vocabulary of English includes about 1 million words vs Thai with about 2,900 words. www.merriam-webster.com & www.languagetrainers.com To obtain a fluent level a vocabulary of about 3,000 words is required. 1to1progress.com Most American adult test-takers range from 20,000-35,000 words (about the same for native British). At age 8 know 10,000 words, age 4 know 5,000 words. 2013/05/29 www.economist.com & word counter.io
  21. 3% yield doesn't seem bad for 6-year maturity. For 10-year bonds Japan has the lowest rate at 0.24% and next 20 nations yield on a 10-year bond going yo a maximum 3.94% (Italy). Thailand lies at about the midpoint of the 21 nation spread. Even the US 2-year bond yield is 4.46% compared to the long term average of 3.15% Also consider that Thailand's inflation rate currently is relatively lower in comparison to other developed nations.
  22. Did you point out to the Officer that your license ID No. IS your passport number that would match your digital phone copy?
  23. I bet (figuratively) thst when you're sworn in as the Malaysian PM by the king, that really has meaning and wouldn't or couldn't be disavowed later, ie., for re-election. But then Malaysia's track record for military coups is zero.
  24. The reverse has already happened. A Chinese company had expressed interest in taking over Subic Bay after South Korea default on the facility $900 million loan with South Korean banks but "fierce lobbying by Washington" reportedly blocked the Chinese takeover. China had signed leases with President Duerte in 2019 for three islands in the Philippines but the deal was blocked by the Navy. May 11, 2020 https://www.onenews.ph/articles
  25. Public officials cite sale requires a license but police cite some "rule" that alcohol can't be sold 'on' the road? Obviously 'on' meant next to a public road (I don't think seller was actually in the roadway but maybe a translation problem with Thai) but wouldn't that make bars selling alcohol next to a public road illegal aside from a license issue? Maybe it would more helpful if police cite correct law and not some 'off the cuff' proverb.
