  1. Arab countries do not want to have any part in displacement of the Palestinian people with no right of return, which would be the case if Israel controls the border with Egypt (as Netanyahu is now insisting in "ceasefire" negotiations).
  2. I like the smoked duck (whole or half) from Tulou. It's an appetizer for 2-4 people.
  3. L'Elephant is quite good for French food, also Baan Mae, Busarin Cuisine, Ginger Farm Kitchen, and Wan Lamun for Thai food, Sushi Umai Nimman for Japanese, Accha for Indian, Blackitch Kitchen (fixed menu) for fusion Thai, Yangzi Jiang and Guo Se Tian Xiang (spicy) for Chinese, Greensmoked for contemporary Western food.
  4. Many similar products are imported by middlemen here for resale, so may be more expensive than the direct sales through Temu. On the other hand, if there is a serious problem, like your house burned down, then the importer could be theoretically responsible.
  5. The choice of Fox News would lead to questions tailored to Trump's diatribes. His lies need real time fact checking (as I proposed in an earlier response).
  6. Negotiate, yes. Dictate, no. If biased Fox News were the venu, there should be two meter at the bottom of the screen, not controlled by Fox News, but by a reputable centrist media monitor. One meter is the truth meter, the other one regards the questions, whether they are bona fide or biased.
  7. Before I had ELectrolux, washer and dryer. Now I have a Hitachi front loader and a Siemens dryer, both purchased 10 years ago. They are both much better than the Electrolux, but of course technology had advanced since I bought Electrolux so long ago that I can't remember when.
  8. Why not have it a joint Fox & ABC debate, with one moderator from each network? Also, there should be a truth meter at the bottom of the screen.
  9. When you return from abroad, the simplest thing is to notify by post, then subsequently online. When filing online, remember to fill in the date when extension of stay ends, even though it is not marked with an asterisk.
  10. The ICC prosecutor has requested an arrest warrant for Haniyeh, despite the fact that he was leader of the political wing and, according to publicly available information, not taking part in the planning or execution of the 10/7 operation. Besides, he was leading the negotiations for the ceasefire. The bombing of Haniyeh is not in the interests of peace, but fits Netanyahu's objectives.
  11. How about malware on her phone? Banking apps are dangerous, especially people who are not tech savvy.
  12. Maybe there is a keylogger malware on your computer. Aside from the antivirus software on your computer, there are scans available online to seek out and neutralize such malware.
  13. My bank abolished online banking and said that customers should use their banking app. I will never do that. Fortunately I had already chosen to get a text message if there are withdrawals exceeding 5000 Baht. Of course that was set up through online banking. This is for a passbook account. If customers want to get such a text message service, can they set this up at their bank branch, or is the only option using the banking app? The latter would be bad, since once a banking app has been downloaded, that might open the customer up to illicit withdrawals, even if he/she deleted the app right after setting up the text message service. That's my fear, anyway.
  14. Turley is a fairly brilliant reactionary. The Supreme Court seems to have dumped the majority "originalist" line with the decision declaring presidents above the law. This kind of hypocisy is becoming rather typical for the ROP (Reactionary Opportunist Party).
  15. Concerning (2), I assume that you are thinking of transferring from an account where funds are not going in, and there is no ongoing income. I'm skeptical. If you have income from any source, to my mind normally that would count first, regardless of the account (outside Thailand) from which funds were transferred.
  16. If you look into the problem with the Sandy Hook conspiracy theory by Alex Jones, the awarded damages resulted because the parents of the dead kids were subject to serious harassment by people who listened to the Alex Jones podcast and were enraged. Is anyone harassing the families of those injured or killed in the Trump assassination attempt? Apples and oranges.
  17. The independents are where the most non-committed votes reside, but the racist part could also include some traditional Republicans who might cross over.
  18. Several analysts remarked that it would be better for there to be a mini-primary to affirm Harris or select someone else as the nominee. This would keep voters from thinking that the grassroots is being ignored in the choice of Biden's replacement.
  19. Unfortunately there are too many closet racists with misogynistic tendencies in Amerika to make a Harris-Whitmer ticket viable.
  20. Amy Klobuchar has the qualities, but her Senate term ends this cycle, so it would be a very risky decision to run for president.
  21. Over the years the Saudis have been quite involved in helping the Palestinians diplomatically. The tried to reconcile Hamas and Fatah.
  22. Hamas felt that the possibility of Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords could lead to annexation of the West Bank and ehtnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. Although the Kingdom was insisting that there be an irreversible two-state solution, that apparently would have followed the same negociation model as the Oslo Accords. Thirty years of that has shown that it is an unworkable process. Now public opinion in the Kingdom would not allow such a deal to proceed.
  23. The US prevents the passage of a Security Council resolution that would authorize sanctions, an international force to replace the IDF in the West Bank, etc. However, individual countries have and can sanction Israel, but it will take a lot of countries doing so to move the immovable settlers.
