AFAIK, AIS Play will stream some/a lot of the Olympics. 4,800 hours of 50 sports on three free "channels" and another thirteen "channels" exclusively for AIS customers. Running AIS Play on a phone, and then casting to a TV is one solution. I'm not sure if AIS is offering this to broadband/fiber customers, maybe on their Playbox? Or running the AIS Play app on a TV?

Info is on the appointment receipt, mine says Counter 66, which is a doc check (I think - or maybe that's a desk position at the Queue Counter within the main Immigration office area), and mine also has a "B 1110" on the Queu Ticket. The last time I went on an appointment it took ~ 3 minutes.

Can confirm Google Wallet works fine here, anywhere Tap to Pay is an option. Credit card number "charged" is "virtual". This is "yuge".

Yes, but...slots sell out quite quickly. In July just a few slots remain on 25, 30, 31. Personally I recommend making an insurance apppointment at day -30/-29, then cancel if your online is accepted.

The "government" has set a target of 1/1/25 for the re-criminalization of recreational cannabis flower. Whether that happens by 1/1/25 or later, remains to be seen. Seems like it's ~ 45/55 right now, so slightly in favor of remaining legal. There are powerful forces aligned on both sides.

FWIW, Google Wallet can use the virtual card scheme (on my phone, using Tap to Pay), and/or within Chrome for online purchases.

Many threads on this change since May 27. You can change to IDD, which I think resolves this issue.

Knives out for this lady. "California University" is some sort of diploma mill with a website in Peru. https://www.californiauniversity.edu.pe/

Can you share some examples? City/Airport, duration, total quotes. I would think you'd have to show the passport of the country you claimed in the booking.

Is Dark Mode available now?

He'll be free while appealing, and he'll be President again in six months, at which time the case/appeal will pause as you cannot try a President. So he's good for four-plus years. I'm not sure this conviction hurts him in any way, nor do I think it's reasonable to expect a dismissal. Maybe by then, the NYS Governor will pardon him.

And can you extend the 60 visa-exempt entry for 30 days?

Based on published seizures by the police, ketamine use is definitely on the upswing. https://thethaiger.com/news/national/man-caught-smuggling-100kg-of-ketamine-worth-100-million-baht It is popular amongst the youth in party scenes, often in a concoction called Happy Water (which includes Kratom) https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/crime/tourists-warned-against-taking-happy-water-drug-in-thailand Ya Ice (Crystal meth) is coming down in price too. At some point, Opioids will start falling off the trucks and causing all sorts of problems.

Not really a valid proposition. How does the current incompatibility, if there is any at all, affect your experience? A lot of people get frustrated moving between Windows/Apple and/or Android/iPhone.

Yeah, this is the issue with using a VPN. Your PC is on a "different" network, in another country, while your TV is on your local LAN. There are workarounds of course, I use a Chromecast with Google TV attached to my TV, and run a VPN client (Nord) on that device. It works well. I use that to connect to Netflix in the U.S. for movies (mostly) that are not available here, yet (theatrical commitments). You can't cast a Chrome screen for the same reason. You could connect the PC and TV via HDMI, Display Port or DSUB/DVI cable, and then direct the display to the TV (usually a function key). What is the make/model of your TV? You may be able to run a VPN client on it, natively. Apple TV. Amazon Fire TV and Fire Stick. Roku. Google Chromecast. Android TV. Nvidia Shield.

Is this change... permanent until some date, when it might be renewed or eliminated

Thank you for this thoughtful and nuanced response.

Once you have the DVD device you can then rip the DVDs, converting to something more modern/open like an mp4.

Why must we wait five years to "understand how the world really works"? Can't you just enlighten us now?

A new "glitch"? My last 90-day report was due by July 22, 2024 I received the email reminder 15 days prior. I filed (online) on July 8, 2024, and was approved on July 9, 2024. Yesterday July 12, 2024 I received another reminder, so at -10 days... email subject: [TM47] Notification for alien before the next appointment. Please apply TM47 request online or contact the Immigration Branch Office in your residence area before due date. I have never experienced this glitch in some ~ 12 successful online reports with the "new/current" system. The email caused some concern thinking my application was rejected. It still shows as Approved, and my Receipt of Notification still shows a new Notification date of October 6, 2024.

Can you share any details here? What is your reporting office? Did they previously accept 65K transfers from your U.S. bank to BBL? When did they communicate this change? Did they offer any documentation regarding this change in their "rules"? This is a major change, and obviously a bit concerning. How will others, who do not have U.S./SSA direct payments going to be able to use the "income" method?

FWIW, Fidelity just added the ability to make a first-party international SWIFT wire transfer - with a standing order on file - on-line, rather than making a phone call. I haven't tried it yet, but my standing order to Bangkok Bank in Thailand does show up in the first originating bank screen.

FWIW, U.S. Social Security is NOT a "Pension". One translation of the Immigration section said "...income such as a pension, interest, savings...".
