  1. The Apprentice https://yts.mx/movies/the-apprentice-2024 Plot summary: A young Donald Trump, eager to make his name as a hungry scion of a wealthy family in 1970s New York, comes under the spell of Roy Cohn, the cutthroat attorney who would help create the Donald Trump we know today. Cohn sees in Trump the perfect protégé—someone with raw ambition, a hunger for success, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to win. === Call Me Ted https://eztvx.to/search/call-me-ted Plot summary: The life and legacy of Ted Turner is told in his own words in this six-part documentary series.
  2. This is indeed a blessing in disguise, as the risk of potential crude oil spills is very real and could be disastrous for Koh Kut Island and its surrounding areas. I hope this plan comes to fruition, as it offers a sensible approach to addressing the ever-increasing demand for power. The EGAT governor would benefit from consulting with highly qualified accountants to develop a more precise quantitative assessment of potential future savings and price reductions. Also, Bill Gates, the owner of TerraPower, and his nuclear scientists have been working on next-generation nuclear technology for quite some time. https://www.gatesnotes.com/Wyoming-TerraPower-groundbreaking
  3. Did the forum moderators ever respond to the points you raised in items (a), (b), or (c)?
  4. Educational/informative reading: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60125659 What impact have sanctions had on Russia's economy? In 2022, the first year of the war, Russia's economy shrank by 2.1%, according to the International Monetary Fund. However, it estimates that Russia's economy grew by 2.2% in 2023 and predicts growth of 1.1% in 2024. Nevertheless, the US Treasury claims sanctions are damaging Russia, having cut 5% from the economic growth it might have had over the past two years. But Dr Snegovaya suggests: "Sanctions have not made waging this war sufficiently costly for Russia, and that means it can continue with it for some time to come". === https://gcaptain.com/60-minutes-dark-fleet-special-how-sanctions-busting-oil-trade-keeps-the-kremlin-afloat/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/russia-works-around-international-sanctions-amid-war-with-ukraine-60-minutes-transcript/
  5. Sanctions have never worked and never will - in fact, Russia is thriving as a result.
  6. Seriously, with your advanced membership, you’re either phishing or you must be joking.
  7. I’m not either. However, it would be great if the Thai government considered easing the requirements for those who have resided here continuously—say, for five years—are of advanced age, such as 65 and older, and hold an appropriate visa with a suitable extension. Adjusting the immigration requirements to renew every five years instead of annually, with residency notification once a year instead of every 90 days, would be a meaningful change.
  8. I’m not either.

Adjusting the immigration requirements to renew every five years instead of annually, with residency notification once a year instead of every 90 days, would be a meaningful change.
  9. small = milliliters (ml) ? large = milliliters (ml) ?
  10. This is concerning, as I also prefer my coffee hot. I’m considering this machine on Lazada: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/ksrain-20-bar-16l-coffee-machine-i558770682-s14111258438.html? but I’ll need to double check the temperature and the beverage volume in ml. Could you elaborate? "Okay" is quite subjective. Do the size settings specify the beverage volume in milliliters?
  11. Yes, it’s wise to wait for announcements expected before the end of the year. You then can obtain a Tax ID for free from your local revenue office. To the best of my knowledge, Thailand does not recognize de facto relationships. "I don't believe I will have tax liability." I think the spreadsheet for calculating taxes provided by 'pauku1' is pretty nifty. <https://aseannow.com/topic/1318120-revenue-department-contact-reports/#comment-18647010>
  12. And you're still bitter about why he was chosen as moderator over you... That decision really says it all. Your inflated ego and legendary refusal to engage with anything but condescension is truly remarkable. And your professional jealousy is brought out.
  13. https://www.news.com.au/technology/motoring/new-cars/byd-shark-review-australias-first-pluginhybrid-ev-ute/news-story/e45c728143750b01e83cf04c817ae19b BYD Shark 6 price and details https://www.news.com.au/technology/motoring/motoring-news/byd-shark-6-price-and-details/news-story/d71bd66f7ea140d83391ad5ae68487d3 Interesting write-up. BYD might consider manufacturing this vehicle in Thailand in the future.
  14. You are an unquestionable forum troll who seems to thrive on stirring up trivial annoyances and based on what I've read you are getting off on itchy crotches. It's time to change your personal hygiene routine.
  15. Off-topic. Is there an immigration office on the island that handles your retirement extension? If so, have your interactions with the immigration officers been amicable? Off-topic. What’s the rental market like there, and is your house located near the water?
  16. Because he's dim-witted, iow an irrational fool
  17. I avoid engaging with baiting messages, especially those that are dumb and inconsiderate, veering off the subject matter and designed solely to antagonize.
  18. Public spaces and facilities like toilets, park benches, and swimming pools are inherently unclean, without exception. Public laundromats, in particular, can harbor various germs and bacteria due to the nature of the items being washed, which often include bodily fluids and food debris. While a regular wash cycle can reduce a significant amount of germs, it may not eliminate all microorganisms, especially when cold-water washes are used.
  19. To each their own.
  20. Well, there you have it—I love Foster's Lager, Yellowtail wines, and I’m proudly Australian.
  21. Yes, quality Australian wines like Yellowtail can also be found in other wine-producing countries such as Germany, France etc..
  22. As far as my taste buds are concerned, both brands are excellent choices! Especially Yellowtail - the rose 'Sparkling' and rose dry Moscato'.
  23. It makes me wonder how they manage to secure the funds to invest in the first place.
  24. After XP was declared obsolescent, I switched to Debian which is a complete free operating system. I’ve never looked back since.
  25. Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist, based on the acclaimed iHeart true-crime podcast, follows the infamous story of how an armed robbery on the night of Muhammad Ali's historic 1970 comeback fight changed not only one man's life but ultimately transformed Atlanta into the "Black Mecca." When a hustler named Chicken Man hosts an afterparty to celebrate the fight with a guest list of the country's wealthiest, the night ends with the most brazen criminal underworld heist in Atlanta's history. Suspected of masterminding the crime, Chicken Man is hellbent on clearing his name but must convince his old adversary, J.D. Hudson, one of the first Black detectives in the city's desegregated police force, who is tasked with bringing those responsible to justice. 8eps. The Old Man follows Dan Chase, a retired CIA officer who absconded from the CIA decades ago and has been living off the grid since. When an assassin arrives and tries to take Chase out, the old operative learns that to ensure his future he now must reconcile his past. 8eps. Inspired by the extraordinary life and work of world-famous author and physician Oliver Sacks, Brilliant Minds follows a revolutionary, larger-than-life neurologist and his team of interns as they explore the last great frontier - the human mind - while grappling with their own relationships and mental health. 13eps.
