  1. It depends maybe. I still call US Toll Free numbers (800, 877, 888, etc.) without charge. Maybe because when I originally downloaded Skype and it asked me what country I'm in, I picked US. Skype also gives me " local" toll rates when I call non toll US phone numbers. For other foreign calls I use a free (up to 2000 MB) VPN Tunnel Bear to get local toll rates. You choose your gateway country from which you make the call.
  2. You think Trump knew any of the history and current status of Iceland? He doesn't nor does he care. As he says, it's all about real estate regardless of ownership or sovereignty. Real estate is transactional - willing seller and willing buyer.
  3. Wrong. I use MS10 as my operating system on top pc's. MS keeps trying to upgrade to MS11 but frankly even when MS no longer supports MS10, I will keep it.
  4. What Muslims are terrorizing who?
  5. Your point? Don't expect Trump to know or bother to know about foreign country sovereignty. To him the world operates transactionally.
  6. Only outside of the hospital.
  7. True. Monthly subscriptions for making outbound calls or free Skype call to anyone anytime. Currently I have almost $9 remaining for calls to personal numbers; most of my calls are to toll free numbers.
  8. Some issues now with Skype might be due to Skype is now owned by Microsoft. As the story goes, MS introduced Team as a competitor to Skype but Skype remained much more popular. So it might be a business strategy by MS purchase of Skype to establish practices that would drive Skype users to use Team.
  9. Nice to see Vice President elect Vance appearing somewhere in public, albeit overseas. Seems all the public sees post election is Elon Musk whose close relationship with Trump is more like a VP.
  10. Start nationalizing the flood of trafficked foreign workers into Thailand every year instead of deporting them. In fact Thailand has to a nominal degree provided citizenship for some of its stateless peoples.
  11. Make a lot of friends with doctors.
  12. I agree with your GDP analysis but that's thinking like an economist which Trump is not (remember Trump's "Drill baby, drill?). Trump thinks in terms of personal wealth and how he can become wealthier. Why did Trump want to buy Iceland? It had nothing to do with GDP. It's about gaining personal control of Canadian resources in the same manner as one sees with Russian oligarchs. Putin wasn't thinking of increasing Russia's GDP when he captured Ukraine's offshore oil&gas platforms during his invasion of Ukraine. Canada ranks fourth of countries by value of its natural resources (including coal, timber, natural gas, uranium, precious metals such as gold). It has the world's third largest oil deposits and ranks fourth in terms of natural resource value following Russia, US and Saudi Arabia.
  13. State of New York - 34 convictions by an unanimous jury, prosecution recommended by a Grand Jury.
  14. Why? No laws violated. I don't believe this is done to people testing negative to drugs at police road check points. Seems more to inflate the police report.
  15. I can't see what they did for you that you couldn't on your own. But you're satisfied and that's what counts.
  16. It is by Royal Proclamation - there is no jury.
  17. A trip obviously done in the interest of national security. The military should be investigating as well.
  18. Presidential pardon does not apply. Trump is not in the White House. Having a busy personal life is not grounds for dismissal.
  19. Thai crew NOT released from Myanmar custody. Is Myanmar claiming the waters surrounding island as Mynamar?
  20. Thailand is at the eighth position on list of the 20 countries with highest rice consumption per capita. I expected China to rank higher but at nineteenth. https://www.insidermonkey.com/, by Aima Zaheer, June 16, 2023
  21. Feels like the reverse of "If the mountain will not come to Muhammad, then Muhammad will go to the mountain." While Chulalongkorn University in 2024 ranked #1 in Thailand, it ranked #41 in Asia and #280 in the world. https://www.uniranks.com/ranking/top-regional?country=Thailand Thailand's English proficiency in 2023 ranked 101st out of 113 countries and regions, and 8th out of ASEAN countries. https://thailand.opendevelopmentmekong.net/news/thailand-ranked-very-low-in-english-proficiency-index/ It didn't help that PM Prayut expected Thai to be one of the world's major languages within years. Thailand has a tall mountain to climb.
  22. Add xenophobic towards foreigners.
  23. Also sells alcoholic beverages. Very helpful.
