Trump's presser yesterday was a train-wreck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rbHIHSRLaI His dementia is advancing quite rapidly. He doesn't have the stamina or energy to leave Mar a Lago to campaign.

Jay Vee Vance. I can't believe how clueless, and incompetent he is at campaigning. Trump should push him down the stairs exiting the aircraft.

"I'm confused, USA is now a communist country?" Trump says "...we are turning into a Communist country..." So if you believe the dear leader then no need to be confused.

What do you mean by "these dummy tickets"?

It's not a "dummy" ticket. It is a confirmed reservation on a real flight, with a real PNR (Passenger Name Record) which you, or airline staff can look up.

I'm not sure you can rationalize the disbanding of a political party, and its duly-elected representatives, based on a 112 "complaint"? Surely one has to be found guilty of a crime before punishment can be inflicted?

Yes, ignorant in more ways than one. The King of Thailand formally accepted the credentials of each of these Diplomats. To imply that any Diplomats acted improperly nearly directly impugns the Monarchy.

In his own words... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTO-9mORwYs I feel sorry for JD Vance.

Agreed. For decades he identified as a white liberal male from New York City. Then bam, he turned orange and identified with Oompa Loompas.

AFAIK, the six - eight-week estimate is the current status of a non-expedited renewal in the U.S. For an expedited renewal, in the U.S., estimates are 2 - 3 weeks. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/how-apply/processing-times.html Based on first-hand reports here door-to-door is 3 - 4 weeks.

Some Thais are just being overly sensitive, and know that yet another banning of a political party looks bad, so they're on the offensive implying "interference". Shame on them. Interference in Thail politics is the domain of the Military at the behest of the Powers-that-Be, and to suggest otherwise seems strange.

Thanks. The OP implied that this would be hard to find because of the MSM... but you did. So it sounds like the Biden/Harris administration took action. The Biden administration has paused a migrant sponsorship policy it set up to discourage illegal crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border due to concerns about fraud among sponsors, officials said Friday. "Out of an abundance of caution, DHS has temporarily paused the issuance of advanced travel authorizations for new beneficiaries while it undertakes a review of supporter applications," the department said in a statement Friday. "DHS will restart application processing as quickly as possible, with appropriate safeguards." Again, thank you for the details. What is the CHNV program? On January 6, 2023, the Biden administration opened a new humanitarian parole program allowing certain nationals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (CHNV) to apply for entry to the U.S. for a temporary stay of up to two years. Since its inception, the CHNV policy has allowed roughly 520,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans to fly to U.S. airports after rounds of security vetting, according to government data.

https://pro.morningconsult.com/trackers/2024-presidential-election-polling Do you understand how Presidential elections work in the U.S.? This poll seems to be overall "popularity"? The election will be decided by fewer than 100,000 voters in six-ish battleground states. Reality check: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/national-polls/

The Ozempic is working for Trump. Trump will last a long, long time. He's still on track to win in November. And Kamala Harris will do the right thing on January 6, 2025.

This whole "weird" thing has definitely hit the mark. You can tell by the reaction, from the thin-skinned bunch. JD Vance isn't weird as much as he is creepy, skeevy, strange, odd, unusual, and completely lacking self-awareness. What kind of parent tells his seven-year-old son to "shut up"? And then brags about it. https://www.thedailybeast.com/jd-vance-told-his-son-to-shut-the-hell-up-about-pokemon-while-talking-to-trump

But not impossible, right? I'm sure you can back up the claims in this "editorial". from the linked editorial... Now a review by DHS’s Citizenship and Immigration Services found that possibly tens of thousands of applications from migrants’ “sponsors” contained fraudulent info — the same addresses, for example, used by many of them, fake Social Security numbers and zip codes and even the same verbatim answers to questions. So, let's hear more about this "review". BTW, you're not supposed to huff the Kool-Aid, just drink it.

I am struggling with this ahead of the NFL season. True has quite convoluted offerings...TrueVisions NOW, TrueID. Do you know which package you want to subscribe to? Do you have any True services? Phone, fiber? (Not sure if DTAC customers are as eligible as True customers?) I plan to subscribe to the TrueVisions NOW PREMIUM package at 449 ++VAT, hopefully paying from my prepaid balance. https://truevisions.co.th/packages/2073 Some options: Run the Truevisions NOW app on a mobile and cast to a TV or attached device. Run Truevisions NOW on the TV. Run Truevisions NOW on an attached device (like the True ID TV Box gen 2 or a Chromecast or any Android box). You can only run two instances of Truevisions NOW simultaneously. Otherwise you get an error. I've been running the Truevisions NOW app on my Samsung TV. This works. I've been running the Truevisions NOW app on my Chromecast (attached to my TV). This works. I've been running the Truevisions NOW app on a mobile and casting it to my TV, or my Chromecast. This works. I've been thinking about getting the True ID TV Box, but not 100% sure that would add any value. Also unsure about video performance (1080, 4K) on these various options.

Trump did a great job at this event. I would encourage him to do more interviews like this. That was very brave of him.

Thai Union bought into Red Lobster in 2016 and took control in 2020. Just couldn't replicate that Shrimp Buffet model. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhTAtJSZkrc How a global seafood giant broke Red Lobster https://edition.cnn.com/2024/05/25/business/red-lobster-bankruptcy-thai-union/index.html Red Lobster files for bankruptcy, says it’s investigating Thai Union’s “undue influence” in shrimp-purchasing decisions https://www.seafoodsource.com/news/business-finance/red-lobster-files-for-bankruptcy-says-it-s-investigating-thai-union-s-undue-influence-in-shrimp-purchasing-decisions

There is a second female boxer, Taiwan's Lin Yu Ting, who has faced gender scrutiny. AFAIK, the IBA (or the French IBA as the world IBA is a tad corrupt) cleared both boxers to compete in the 2024 Olympics. Neither appears to be "dudes", based on birth records, background and much testing. Yes, they have won competitions, been banned from some, and lost to "real" women. So yes, of the ~ 5,000 female athletes at the Paris Olympics, two appear to be facing gender qualification issues. Given scant results so far (one match) it's challenging to define any "dominance". I'd say that doping continues to be the primary threat to competitive equality and balance. China seems to have compromised WADA, with a claim of a burger causing positive tests. Report on Chinese swimmer doping fuels anger over testing https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/40681020/report-chinese-swimmer-doping-fuels-anger-testing Pan Zhanle's dominance in the 100m Freestyle has caused some questions to be raised.

I can't find that calendar in the User's Guide, but do remember it from the "previous" system. The current User's Guide still refers to a 14/15 day reporting window. https://tm47.immigration.go.th/manual/IndexForeign.html If they've reduced the window then they should probably notify filers, and update the User's Guide. - Submit a request in advance before the due date for the next report within 15 days. Conditions for not accepting requests for notification of residence more than 90 days online - Incomplete data entered as required by the system. - Not due for the next due date. (Apply after the previous petition is approved in 1 – 75 days)

JD Vance has pretty epic Unfavorability ratings today. Can't say if he's weird, maybe just odd? Everyone Hates J.D. Vance: Poll J.D. Vance’s popularity levels have taken an embarrassingly brutal hit. https://newrepublic.com/post/184438/jd-vance-popularity-brutally-embarrassing-hit https://twitter.com/i/status/1816634155972673795

I think you can report a lost or stolen card online via web or BofA mobile app. And you can request a new card similarly. I like the Bof A Travel Rewards Visa card as it has zero % foreign transaction fee. The last I looked they offered 3 -5 day international shipping, but the customer has to pay a portion of the shipping fee. Can you have a replacement card sent to your home in the U.S., and then have someone there send it, say, via Priority Mail (~ $40.80 the last time I had a card sent. Int'l airmail takes 10 - 14 days, used that a few weeks ago for my new BofA visa card.) What do you use for 2FA security options?

Depends. Assuming the device, cable and LAN port support 1,000 Mbps (1 GbE), then that may be fastest. Assuming the WiFi device and router supports WiFi 6, then WiFi speeds would be in the 500 Mbps range. My TV only supports 10/100 ethernet (wired), so I get better performance over WiFi. I'm not sure about "order" but suspect wired ethernet would be the default if a cable is plugged in and is actively connected to the router and/or internet? This is the obvious solution to the OP's question(s).

I was at Mega Bang Na on Tuesday afternoon/evening. Mall was heaving ~ 17:00. Long John's was ~ 50% full. There is a Shake Shack at Mega Bang Na too. I've never eaten at either (nor Taco Bell), in the U.S. or here. Native New Englander here, Clam Box devotee, North Shore (MA)/Ipswich, but others favor Woodman's.
