Prepaid or postpaid? Did you register for international roaming? Make & model of phone? I did a bit of research, and most references to switching to an eSIM start off with "Visit a DTAC hall..." There is a menu pick within the DTAC mobile app: "Order and Activate eSIM" but all of that section is in Thai only. Based on a minimum of research I'd say the answers to your questions are "No" and "No".

I went to CW Friday AM, feeling fine. Can't be much worse than the BTS/MRT re: close quarters/congregation of people? It was heaving, definitely the busiest I've ever seen it - easily 1,000 queued. And a gigantic OTOP 'festival' taking up the whole of the atrium.

In March 2006 a mob of "worshippers" killed a man who attacked the Erawan Shrine with a hammer. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2006/mar/22/mainsection.international1 By far, the most infamous case of mob justice here involved a rope, lynching, and oddly a chair or a ginormous stick.

He won ~ $100,000 on Tic Tac Dough back in the day... Nice 'stache.

I'm not sure I'd call these "wins" or "victories"? He pushed hard to get on the ballot(s), then pushed hard to get off them. More indicative of his inability to stick to a plan. Surprising that he flip-flopped? No. Brain worms at work.

Like this hasn't been done a gazillion times before. Mandatory/direct spending represents 2/3.

OK, this is pretty interesting, and thanks to fvw53 for posting about this... I can watch a two-hour replay of the NFL kick-off game (KC-BAL) with Catch-up. Very handy.

I think that HD PVR service was an option with the old satellite/coax Truevison service. I think they charged extra for it, (99 baht/month promo, from 399 baht/month. You should contact True to see if your new box can be configured in a PVR mode? The new streaming options under the TrueVisions NOW banner offer a "catch-up" option but I confess to not really understanding it as I just subscribed to TrueVisions Now Prime (449 baht/month) a few days ago. You need internet and be able to run the app, or purchase the TrueID streaming box. https://help.trueid.net/th-th/detail/nP3bbXqR2l48 Home page TrueID application Application usage How to watch reruns (Catch-up) on the TrueID application How to watch reruns (Catch-up) on the TrueID application There are 2 types of replay viewing: 1.

He fielded four questions, three of which were softballs. For the fourth one on the issues around affordable child care, he "weaved" in tariffs, presumably as a way to pay for universal child care? Sure beats having the "late, great Hannibal Lecter" as grandpa taking care of the kids.

The number of illegal Thais (little ghosts) in South Korea has reached a point where Korean officials feel they need to 'control'. It's been a nagging diplomatic issue for a few years now. Thai travel to South Korea plummets The Justice Ministry has said it will toughen immigration control as the number of Thai nationals illegally in Korea has tripled in the past 8 years, and now makes up 78 % of all Thais here. https://www.nationthailand.com/blogs/news/tourism/40038892

I'd like to hear more about this all-day activity. Surely we'll hear more reports about this.

I think the figure was 4.2 million mortgages (not 3.4 million). https://www.urban.org/sites/default/files/2024-02/ITIN Mortgages.pdf So 0.14% (6,000/4.2m) of the mortgages were issued to those with ITINs (non-citizens)? I'd say focus on the larger issues, affordability, supply, incentives/credits. But if this minuscule 'issue' has you in a lather simply demand that Congress amend the Patriot Act (2001) to remove this loophole. This loophole also applies to credit cards and auto loans.

When they were proposing adding a 300 baht fee they ran into problems with how to collect it, and how to avoid having Thais pay. https://www.nationthailand.com/news/tourism/40038663 Problem solved with a fee for the ETA. So the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Transport gets his slush fund.

Yeah. You're wrong.

Agreed. Although it's another example of Trump getting special treatment. I'll stipulate to the extraordinary circumstances, but would any other convicted felon get the same treatment? But maybe under house arrest/home confinement.

I'd feel comfortable with a small wager that during the debate Trump will utter the word 'weird' before Harris does.

How were you informed? Who informed you? If it were SSA I would think they would have provided a contact number? Do you have access to mySSA? If so, maybe look there for resolution.

"Childcare is childcare." Brilliant.

Huh? It's Trump speaking. Or should I say "weaving". What was edited?

Gotta love it when the "weird" thing gets under his thin skin and he goes off repeating it. Or the third-grade comeback, "I'm not weird, he's weird". He repeats the word 'weird' nine times and you can hear Hannity trying to reign in cranky grandpa. Definitely losing a step or three. Love it when he "weaves" on "wind bacon". Too old for the presidency.

Cool graphic. How many of these are "convictions"?

"latest"? First? Second (if you count Hunter's gun plea.)

Hunter Biden pleads guilty to federal tax charges and judge accepts his plea Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to all nine charges in his federal tax case Thursday, and District Judge Mark Scarsi in Los Angeles has accepted his plea. Sentencing is scheduled for December 16, notably after November’s presidential election. The prosecution did not object to the date, which was proposed by the judge. The president’s son has now officially pleaded guilty to one count of felony tax evasion, two counts of felony filing fraudulent tax returns, four misdemeanor counts of failing to pay taxes, and two misdemeanor counts of failing to file tax returns. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/05/politics/hunter-biden-case/index.html

I was wondering why so many of these right-wing "influencers" and "podcasters" were shilling for Putin and were pedaling the anti-Ukraine messaging. Yes Tim Pool, I'm looking at you. Duped? Right-wing influencers were duped to work for covert Russian influence operation, US says NEW YORK (AP) — They have millions of followers online. They have been major players in right-wing political discourse since Donald Trump was president. And they worked unknowingly for a company that was a front for a Russian influence operation, U.S. prosecutors say. An indictment filed Wednesday alleges a media company linked to six conservative influencers — including well-known personalities Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson — was secretly funded by Russian state media employees to churn out English-language videos that were “often consistent” with the Kremlin’s “interest in amplifying U.S. domestic divisions in order to weaken U.S. opposition” to Russian interests, like its war in Ukraine. https://www.wjhl.com/news/politics/ap-right-wing-influencers-were-duped-to-work-for-covert-russian-influence-operation-us-says/
