Buy and activate an UltraMobile PAYG SIM, $3/month. https://www.ultramobile.com/paygo/ https://www.ebay.com/itm/285112988423 Then get a Google Voice number (free), as a cost-effective back-up option.

"by all accounts"? What is the status of his passport renewal? Did he get photos? Complete a DS-82? Pay $130 USD on pay.gov? Purchase a Thai Post 100 THB service, mail in his package with 'old' passport? If so, when did the package get mailed? Recent reports are 35 - 45 days end-to-end service times.

This protest's violence and size paled compared to January 6, 2021.

I don't think he can pardon himself for any charges/indictments ("crimes") for which he remains unconvicted. So "Jan 6", and the "Documents" cases would simply be dropped by the DoJ on 20 Jan 2025. And a sitting President cannot serve jail time (DoJ-OLC 'rule"), so any State crimes/convictions would have to sit until 20 Jan 2029.

FWIW, you can make cardless ATM withdrawals of cash at an ATM using the Bank's mobile app (QR Code). So no need to carry a card. Do you mean for log-in? Or payment? Or both? {I only use Lazada.} For log-in they offer a few options, I use the in-app 2FA option. For payment, I use PromptPay by scanning the QR code with my Bank's mobile app.

You have, at most three local ATM/Debit cards? No need to carry cards, just use the Bank's mobile app and pay via PromptPay. Obviously, if you need cash carry that one ATM/Debit card to the ATM. AFAIK, Thai ATM/Debit cards do not have 2FA. Most banks here have an option for notifications of use, email/in app/SMS. Most mobile apps here have options for managing limits/usage.

FYI, this was released in the U.S. on PBS (Masterpiece/Passport) a month ago and is widely available.

Timothy Mellon has given $115 million to pro-Trump Super PACs. Musk has a lot to gain from a Trump Administration, and $75 million is couch-change to him. Surprised he hasn't gone more all in, why not a few hundred million more? Just so many ads you can buy in PA I guess.

from the interview... Trump claims his rambling is strategic Wow, it was a train wreck of an interview. Wise of his handlers to cancel the CNBC interview.

What's the problem here? What "omission"?

Now we need a poll on who trusts a Gallup poll. I'm doubtful of the 31`% figure, it seems way too high to me.

Sign the insurance waiver, then producers will probably allow you to do anything.

Entire event... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDZgox580B0 Trump enters ~ 1:05 (one hour and five minutes)... "Everything's going to be beautiful..." First health incident ~ 1:38. Second one at 1:48. YMCA kicks off the musical segment at 2:12.

It's probably best to put Trump in cold storage for three weeks, and thaw him out for Coup2.

After thirty-nine minutes of head-bobbing, can't imagine what the Secret Service detail, or Gov. Neom, were thinking. He'll be selling a Trump Dance Party mix-tape tomorrow.

Clutch intra-divisional away win, great game. Doubly important given their next opponent. Definitely, worth a 03:25 wake-up call.

Ms. Swift made this donation directly to Feeding America. The non-profit publicized the donation, which probably resulted in additional donations.

Do tell. Did she keep smoking? This sort of reaction should dissipate in a few hours. Weed sounds like fire, need a strain report I think.

Does the appointment system allow for one person to make multiple appointments for the same service? I honestly don't know.

Yes, IME, 30 days. It's easy enough to determine this by simply trying to make an appointment, where you will see the calendar greyed out at +30. Stringing together appointments can be challenging. I have done it with two (TM7, TM8). Threading three would be challenging.

I was able to port out my Tmobile prepaid/payg SIM/number to UltraMobile PAYG ($3/month) by phoning TMobile customer service from Thailand. Mint, Ultra are part of TMobile so their customer service can 'see' everything the change was instantaneous. I'd consider giving it a try. As always YMMV. This is a port out/in and not a new activation. And you keep the same number, which can be handy. Once you've done this consider registering (via a VPN and your UltraMobile number) for Google Voice, which for me works in all of the ~ 20 or so applications. For other new UltraMobile PAYG SIMs, I had a relative activate them in the U.S. ( a link is sent to the phone, which I had my relative copy/paste to me, here where I took over the registration process) before mailing them onto me - meant for friends here who needed a solution.

You may be able to port out your Mint number to UltraMobile's $3/month (includes 100 SMSes) PAYG plan. I think Mint and UltraMobile are part of Tmobile. I was able to port my TMobile SIM/number out to UltraMobile's $3/month plan. This plan supports WiFi calling, and SMS'es are delivered reliably.

99.5% PromptPay/TrueMoney (~ 49.5%), foreign credit cards (~50%) (always pay in THB, no local fees, no issues, my credit cards do not charge any foreign transaction fees). rarely pay in cash, maybe motorbike taxis.

I wonder why they made the change to reduce the window for 90-day reporting online. They need to update the TM47 online user's guide. Conditions for receiving notice of residence more than 90 days online - Submit a request in advance before the due date for the next report within 15 days. https://tm47.immigration.go.th/manual/IndexForeign.html
