How do you pay?
bamnutsak replied to garygooner's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
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

Rumors are bubbling about a "limited edition" $1,000,000 Gold Trump Cybertruck, with an optional machine gun. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/08/19/europe/chechnya-kadyrov-musk-tesla-cybertruck-intl/index.html

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2024)
bamnutsak replied to Rimmer's topic in Entertainment
I watched the first episode of this - I'm a sucker for British police procedurals - and thought it was quite good, nigh on hilarious. I plan to binge it over the next one or two days. I wouldn't call the protagonist (John) "bumbling". I think a second series is all but guaranteed. -
"Almost" 200 grams of gold. Sure. Can you imagine, for a moment, the apoplectic outrage on the Right if Kamala Harris was hawking fake watches? Or silver coins? Or NFTs? Or Digital Trading Cards? Or BitCoin?

7-Eleven Introduces Convenient PromptPay QR Code Payments Nationwide
bamnutsak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
AFAIK some banks here offer an ATM Debit Card with 'Tap-to-Pay' functionality. I use the SCB LET’S SCB Debit Card. Convenient contactless payments Just tap your debit card at an EDC terminal at merchants accepting contactless payments by yourself. https://www.scb.co.th/en/personal-banking/cards/debit-cards/lets-scb.html I do not know if some/all 7/11's accept this form of payment, or if they have a minimum purchase amount? At 7/11, I use TrueMoney wallet, which is very fast and easy. Just open the app, press 'Pay' allow the clerk to scan your QR code, finished. ( I top up my TrueMoney wallet with a transfer from SCB, usually keeping the balance below 1,000 THB. ) I have used the Tap-to-Pay option on this card at other stores, and the MRT. But I mostly use the SCBEasy app for PromptPay scans/purchases, -

Harris holds 7-point lead over Trump in national survey
bamnutsak replied to Inderpland's topic in Political Soapbox
Hmm. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/national-polls/ Clinton +4, actual LOST https://www.pewresearch.org/methods/2021/03/02/what-2020s-election-poll-errors-tell-us-about-the-accuracy-of-issue-polling/ Biden +12, actual +4 WON Margin of error on the national poll is meaning ess, as the popular vote is meaningless. Harris would have to win the popular vote by eight (+) points to overcome the Electoral College bias. Fewer than 20,000 people in Pennsylvania may/will/could decide the election. -
Trial scheduled to start next week. Confidential settlement. Not surprising Newsmax decided to settle. I guess I'm surprised Smartmatic agreed to a settlement, but guaranteed cash now (or scheduled over time) is better than some larger amount that might never be paid? Newsmax is not exactly a booming business like Fox. 2024 revenue estimated at ~ $191 million. I'd be shocked if the settlement was north of $25 million.

Harris holds 7-point lead over Trump in national survey
bamnutsak replied to Inderpland's topic in Political Soapbox
Polls are more reliable in the DPRK than in the U.S. Fewer and fewer States and voters wield control over the national election and the pool of likely/undecided voters is reduced to several million, so the hunt for poll 'valid' poll participants leads to highly unreliable results, IMO. Half the likely/undecided may not choose until after they pull the curtain closed. And half of them will probably, accidentally. tick the wrong box. Even focus group interviews can be unreliable as people lie to get into them. -

Bret Baier: Trump, not Harris, the ‘holdup’ on Fox News debate.
bamnutsak replied to Inderpland's topic in Political Soapbox
But, but, but...Trump says he "won" the debate with Harris. And he said the 'audience' (there was none) was going crazy for him. Surely he'd want to 'win' again? -
It doesn't. Mr. Leemens, a Belgian citizen, is a legal resident (Green Card). He may have ticked the wrong box on his driver's license renewal form (Yes, I want to register to vote), or maybe the data entry clerk misread the form. Most/all of these ~ 97,000 people are probably citizens. And the Arizona Supreme Court agrees. The OP can put the Kraken back in its cage, for now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LeCXPwiTss AZ Supreme Court won’t limit 97,000 improperly registered voters The Arizona Supreme Court ruled that roughly 97,000 voters who are improperly registered to vote because of a glitch in the state’s driver’s license database won’t be limited on who they can vote for in November because no law authorizes county recorders to change their registration status. The voters are erroneously registered to vote because of the way the Motor Vehicle Division provides driver’s license information to the state’s voter registration system. The voters affected by this particular coding error are people who first obtained their Arizona driver’s license before October 1996 and then were issued a duplicate replacement before registering to vote sometime after 2004. Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, a Democrat, said the 97,000 voters skew heavily Republican, and most are between 45 and 60 years old. He opposed Richer’s request, and told the Supreme Court there was no legal mechanism to change the status of so many voters — and it wasn’t legal to do so this close to the Nov. 5 election. His position was supported by the Arizona Republican Party and GOP legislative leaders, as well as a coalition of voting rights advocates. https://utahnewsdispatch.com/2024/09/20/az-supreme-court-wont-limit-97000-improperly-registered-voters/

Just so others are not confused by your post... The Section 38 mobile app was retired a few years ago. And replaced with a website. https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/#/login accessible with a browser (on a PC, phone, tablet, etc.) Depends on reporting office, and other unknown variables. For me, CW, this week, three full days. What is your reporting office? The requirement to file a 90-day report in person after returning from an international trip, is well documented. As with any immigration rule, some offices may not enforce this.

Trump Surges in Latest Top Poll 538 Predictions

I still say Trump is a 60-in-100 to win the Electoral College. I am a lifelong Democrat. -

Much ado about nothing. The OP's MO it seems. Little boy crying wolf comes to mind. Filthy Belgians coming to our great country and poisoning it. Although incorrectly registered, this individual has never voted. Furthermore, all people who register to vote in Arizona swear under the penalty of perjury that they are a United States citizen. Editor's note: An earlier video version of this story misstated the consequences for non-citizens registering to vote. When someone registers to vote, they have to affirm their U.S. citizenship under penalty of perjury. The man is speaking out after the Maricopa County Recorder's Office found last week that a 20-year-old computer coding error didn't report if 98,000 voters provided proof of citizenship when they registered. The man is concerned there could be more non-citizens registered to vote. According to the Arizona Secretary of State's office, most voters affected by the error are older and lean Republican. All received driver's licenses issued before 1996. The office provided a one-page explainer of the problem. https://www.12news.com/article/news/politics/elections/decision-2024/non-citizen-living-in-arizona-renews-drivers-license-suddenly-registered-to-vote-in-maricopa-county/75-988ef4fb-39df-4d04-bfd0-8706dcaab7ca https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25147529-azsos-external-one-pager

A "safe-guard"? That protects citizens, who voted for the majority party? How many votes have similar "safe-guards"? (Juries I guess.) Supreme Court nominees? middle-school class president? school board initiatives? Supreme Court decisions? If this is such a good thing why doesn't the House of Representatives have such a "safe-guard"? Silliest rule ever, well after that whole three-fifths thing, and the electoral college.

It would help (you) if you simply shared your situation and reporting office. I think "the first 90-day report" can be... your first 90-day report EVER your first 90-day report after returning to Thailand after an international trip your first 90-day report after getting a new passport your first 90-day report after moving to a new address (and filing a TM30) {and maybe a few other situations} Have you filed a TM30 for your address? I think you should file in person, but that's just my best guess.

I think the warranty period here for Samsung phones is 12 months. Green or pink vertical lines after an update gets a lot of search results. Some indications are that this is down to the connection between the motherboard and the display. I'd check with some repair counters, or have a Thai friend search for repair options.
