Well said.

My two favorites are "Tom Jones" and "Erin Brockovitch".

I would like to point out KH has made over 600 posts on this thread, virtually all of which have caused mental distress to readers of this thread. I have called him out repeatedly, and also reported him for repetitive posting. Joseph Goebbels: If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The fact he is back posting without admitting he was wrong, or apologizing to people for causing them distress, tells me everything I need to know about his character. You make a fair point. However, some things need to be said.

I do enjoy life. I just don't suffer fools gladly.

Unemployment less than 4%, GDP up after Trump gutted it in 2020. Stock market all-time high. The border problem is caused by Republicans blocking any initiatives, on Trump instructions. Trump doesn't have any advisers. He's a one-man band, way out of tune. You'd prefer the Trump solution for Ukraine? Walk away, and kiss Putin's @ss?

Am I correct in assuming the same instructions apply in criminal trials? Jack Smith seems to have plenty of exhibits to be admitted into evidence - documents at Mar-a-Lago, tape recordings, emails and posts by Trump himself. I am just wondering what physical exhibits the defense lawyers will be entering into evidence, and what witnesses they can call to contradict the testimony of prosecution witnesses. IMO any sworn testimony from a defense witness would be flirting with perjury. There may not be much agreement on facts, given Trump prefers alternative ones. After Trump refused to provide a DNA sample for the Carroll trial, it was clear he did not want that to be admitted into evidence. With his perfect memory, he would know if he raped her.

The silence from our usually voluble and prolific poster has been quite deafening over the last 48 hours. Karma really is a bitch, isn't it?

There is one on LAZADA for 50 baht, most stainless ones are 100 - 200 baht. i forget what i paid for my Besico, have had it for many years.

Disagree, at least Biden has competent advisers to support him. Trump only has toadies and yes-men.

I had a fairly miserable childhood. I was singled out by kids because I was different. I spent most of my time in a shell I constructed. It was only later in life I realized I could wipe the floor with most people in terms of skills and focus. I don't miss my youth at all. I probably miss my fifties, when I was at my peak in the field I chose.

How unfit is a person who mistakes Nikki Haley for Nancy Pelosi, on one of the most significant days in American history? Who says E. Jean Carroll is his wife in a photo, after saying she's not my type? That's not mentally challenged? I seriously doubt Trump will live another four years. He's a fat slug, and with his diet he is a prime candidate for a heart attack or stroke. Quite apart from his incontinence, he got the nickname Diaper Don for a reason.

Trump has too much baggage. 1/ He has clear signs of dementia when staging his rallies, which are only attracting the faithful. 2/ The unions are endorsing Biden, they have realized Trump did nothing for them during his presidency. 3/ He doesn't have the funds. They are mostly going to the lawyers defending him, not in campaigning. 4/ He has 91 indictments to deal with. He can't campaign effectively from a courtroom. Judges shut him down when he tries. 5/ People are sick of Trump and his grievances. They want leadership on jobs and the economy. 6/ In crowing over the Supreme Court's decision on Roe vs Wade, he alienated a large bloc of the women's vote. 7/ He now has Nikki Haley going for his jugular. She's making an impression. I am anticipating Trump will still get the GOP nomination, but it will be a Pyrrhic victory.

Superannuation IMO would be counted as savings as well, you draw down on it just like any capital. I don't know if the income of the fund would be taxed in Australia or Thailand. It can't be taxed in Thailand if it is not transferred there. I am confident there will be some creative accounting in play.

Because the guy I am referring to has posted over 600 times on this thread, and he has been wrong all along. IIRC, I had you on ignore. I do make the mistake of responding to d!ckheads occasionally.

There are two get-out options with the Thai tax system, even assuming it comes to pass for pensions. The first is you can only be taxed on income received and transferred after January 1, 2024. If you can prove what you are transferring is from savings prior to that date, no tax is payable. I've already got screenshots of my savings for that eventuality. The second is to marry a thai. For someone solely on the OAP, the amount of tax payable after various allowances is fairly miniscule. IIRC, I calculated it as 5000 baht pa.

Possibly enough to break the glass, although Russians are not far behind.

Living with any MIL would be my idea of hell, why can't the OP just rent a house or condo?

Are you confused now? If so, about what?

Hey there KH, you have been yammering on about links for some time. It seems the cat has got your tongue for a while. Here's a link for you, enjoy. https://www.austlii.edu.au/au/other/dfat/treaties/1989/36.html

For those living in Thailand, being a non-resident is no longer an issue, according to a double tax agreement. No 32.5% tax applies, which is 30% after July 2024. I suggest you read norbra's post again, perhaps you did not understand its significance.

The resident prophet of doom kept publishing links to the discussion paper. Can't say if it was over 600 times, but I suspect it was a substantial percentage. In this case, I think once should be enough.

The difference between Thailand and Malaysia is quite stark. In Malaysia, I have never seen a vehicle blowing smoke. Here, probably 10% of vehicles. When a vehicle here is more than 7 years old, it is supposed to be tested every year before re-registration. I've seen vehicles at the testing station in Phan that obviously belong in the wrecker's yard. 200 baht fixes every problem.

I actually take it for when I am playing golf, I find it is relaxing as well. Back and leg twinges from a golf swing are gone. I can't say if it would work for football, as far as mental acuity goes I might give it a try when posting.

There is nothing wrong with storing a cylinder flat, provided that the pressure regulator is protected from being knocked in any way. A cylinder is a lot of stored kinetic energy, with 2000 psi of pressure behind it. Reports of release incidents indicate a cylinder is capable of going through the wall of a building. The main reason for storing upright and restrained is to protect the pressure regulator, which is the weak point.

True. I'd say the proof is pretty overwhelming, but that's just an opinion.
