  1. I read in the WSJ that this is a Cloudfare operation to block bots from vacuuming a website for some company that is building an AI large language model. I have encountered this, too.
  2. I would call them squatters or terrorists.
  3. The "burning babies alive" was debunked ages ago. Please stop repeating this.
  4. Concentration camps: The are lots of similarities between Israeli & US police actions. US police forces send people to train in Israel.
  5. Over 10 years ago I used to support J Street, gave donations to some of their preferred Dem candidates. Then I watched them live on the Internet cozying up to Likud, practically sycophants. Now I support JVP. Now you say that J Street are anti-Netanyahu. Have they finally woken up?
  6. Seems like the Guardian thinks so.
  7. J Street is a pro-Israel lobby group with Stockholm Syndrome.
  8. If Musk goes through with forming the America Party, maybe Fetterman could join it.
  9. I looked at your link. He is in the center, not far from some centrist Republicans. There has been talk that he might defect to the Republicans.
  10. Yes, anyway I'm going to see the insurance company tomorrow. However, if I have a really serious problem, I may go elsewhere and pay the bill myself.
  11. The hard core MAGA could be around 35% of electorate. Your 20% could amount to 10% of the electorate, but the 3rd party can also be expected to draw from the Dems as well. People are also fed up with the Dems. The point is that the winner does not need over 50% in a 3-party race.
  12. Looking up the definition, it seems worse than apnea. It speaks of heart failure. "It often arises from fluid accumulation in the lungs due to heart failure, where the weakened heart struggles to pump blood effectively, leading to increased pressure in the pulmonary vessels." (orthopnoea meaning - AI Overview from googling).
  13. The Rohingya should be on the side of the Arakan Army, in opposing the government that committed genocide on them. Instead it seems that these militants are only seeing opportunity to do a power grab, but in the process undermining the resistance to the junta.
  14. If your assets are in another country, it would be prudent for someone in that country to have the PoA. In Thailand you could have a document to provide for a 'pipat' (guardian?), who can act in your behalf if you don't have a family member here. The complication is that the 'pipat' is appointed by the Court and may not necessarily follow the preference of the individual whom you have designated beforehand.
  15. There are local policies available for care in Thailand only available until 1 month before you turn 80.
  16. What a third party did in 1992 was to have Clinton elected with 40% of the vote. A third party this time could well lead to a Republican victory, because the radical Trump faction is around 35% of the electorate, and there will not be that many Republican office holders defecting to a third party.
  17. I'm not a specialist. Presumanbly, the building and land are registered in the name of an association. Why not look into this. Do they have decision-making provisions, such as flow-through of expenses, repairs, even eventual transformation of the building?
  18. Before commenting, why don't you read the article? No one put the cat in the rubbish. It was grabbed by the refuse collector from a third party's door.
  19. The first ten years of Burma's statehood was a trial period where the Shan states, etc, would decide whether or not to remain in the Union of Burma. It was supposed to be a federation, but the military didn't like the federation concept. If the junta can be junked, maybe the people should try again at having a federation.
  20. Can this form be downloaded from the TM30 website or is it only available through the phone app?
  21. I did this 20 years ago. No tax on electronics. Later I shipped a 50 year old grand piano and used a broker. The charge was reasonable, and I am not aware of any import duty.
  22. Interesting. China is highest, followed by Japan and Iran. US is lower than Canada.
  23. Where are you going? Do you really need it?
