New Entry Requirements.

https://www.moneyhelper.org.uk/en/everyday-money/insurance/what-to-do-if-your-insurance-claim-is-rejected https://www.dougterrylaw.com/types-damage-bad-faith-claims/ Insurance claims may be denied for good reason. They can also be denied because the insurer is acting in bad faith. An example of bad faith was in the Black Saturday fires in Victoria of 2009. Insurance companies were refusing claims for total loss because house chimneys were still standing. The CFA fixed that by taking fire trucks to destroyed houses, and knocking the chimneys down. My son was a CFA crew member at the time. I was told by an insurance executive ( not a guy at a bar ) that claims departments have incentives for employees to deny claims, I assume that meant performance bonuses. Make of that what you will. Those big buildings insurance companies live in and own - they didn't get to be that big by making a loss. You may be having a good run on claims because you are dealing with a reputable company. Permit me to doubt they all are. -
Speaking for myself, no. While I am tolerant of other people's preferences, I am solid hetero. I don't even pack fudge. The OP should be aware if he does succeed in his quest, he should glove up. Preferably twice. The prevalence of HIV in katoeys is significantly higher than with women, due to several factors.

They might stand a faint chance if they spoke to me in English, if it's in Thai they are wasting their time.

Question about “Pothole” Coffee shop
Lacessit replied to Nickelbeer's topic in Thailand Cannabis Forum
I don't think I would want to consume pot outside my condo, I'd be too worried about impaired judgment and reflexes. Consume, not smoke. I am ingesting 25 mg, for arthritic pain. It does alleviate that, but the main effect for me is as a sedative, an hour after eating it I am asleep for 5 or 6 hours. Very relaxing. I don't know how other people react to pot. It seems to me far less harmful than alcohol, on several counts. -
Trump under investigation for potential violations of Espionage Act

Exchanging love letters with the nuclear-wielding fat boy and kissing Putin's butt in Helsinki did not look like hard ball to me. You don't think Biden is playing hard ball with Russia in Ukraine? IMO Putin would disagree with you. -

Other posters have answered your post, much better than I could because they have knowledge of the mail-in process. I'm just going by the statement in Wikipedia no-one has ever found mail-in ballots to be a source of election fraud. Trump and his lawyers were trying their absolute best to find evidence otherwise, and they got thrown out by every court in the land, some with Republican judges. I do understand conspiracy theorists will clutch at the flimsiest straw if it supports their irrational beliefs. -

A statistical sample of one or two proves nothing. Explain to me why insurance companies have entire departments that process claims, with the performance bonuses going to the employees that can deny the most claims. -
Cant decide if I should get another covid booster. What about you?
Lacessit replied to jack71's topic in Health and Medicine
Under-reporting is most probably the result of the adverse event being too insignificant to be considered worthwhile. It's a pretty good bet anything really significant, such as a seizure or death, would be there front and centre. The VAERS system is a reporting system, not a diagnostic system. I'd suggest other sources for the crusade, although it may be difficult to find anything with peer-reviewed credibility. -

It's called a reductio ad absurdum, perhaps you are unfamiliar with that line of argument. The Romans were using it more than 2000 years ago to demonstrate the falsity of a proposition, try to keep up. -

Extreme far left? Please do get a grip. In most other democracies, the Democrats would be regarded as a bit right of centre. As for the GOP taking over the House, you seem to have forgotten the Supreme Court's rejection of Roe vs Wade is creating a cascade of <deleted>-off women voters. -

The VAERS report is data collected from anywhere, and not assessed for causation. A drover's dog could report being off its tucker after a rabies shot, and it would be accepted into the database. I quote: "The report of an adverse event to VAERS is not documentation that a vaccine caused the event". and "VAERS is a passive reporting system, meaning that reports about adverse events are not automatically collected, but require a report to be filed to VAERS. VAERS reports can be submitted voluntarily by anyone, including healthcare providers, patients, or family members. Reports vary in quality and completeness. They often lack details and sometimes can have information that contains errors." You obviously believe the data is significant, despite the limitations cited by VAERS itself. https://vaers.hhs.gov/data/dataguide.html You can't have it both ways, the .gov suffix says it is government funded, and you've already posted your distrust of authority. -

Actually, the nom de plume you have adopted makes the claim you are smart. So you would have waited. Until you get tested for antibodies, you won't know if you have dodged a bullet, or are still waiting for it to arrive. I had myself tested for antibodies 3 weeks after my first jab. While the result was not high, it gave me confidence if I did get COVID, I would cope with it comfortably. And I did. I'd suggest if the world had waited, based on your advice, the butcher's bill of deaths and long-term impairment would have been far higher. Do you believe in natural selection in a pandemic? That's pretty cold. We are all shaped by our life experiences. You evidently developed an abiding distrust of authority very early on. While I share some of that distrust, I think I am more selective in applying it. -

I see, picking and choosing as you do with COVID data. There's a lot of things I don't know. Like how to fly an aeroplane, or perform brain surgery. A shame when quite a few posters on ASEAN could obviously benefit. I don't see any reason to become Uriah Heep because a poster is suddenly overburdened with sanctimony. -

A dwarf as Jack Reacher, you're easily pleased. Alan Ritchson was way better, and much more believable. Speaking of believable, Trump's claim national secrets belong to him certainly is. The universe revolves around Trump, Galileo was wrong. -

When I am told by an anti-vaxxer poster I am wrong and know nothing, that is contempt of the five years I spent getting a tertiary qualification, and the 50 -odd years I spent getting better at my chosen line of work. I do have to wonder if posters who dismiss training in science, logic and statistics themselves have a limited formal education, and hence a giant chip on their shoulder about the lack. A friend once said to me " It doesn't matter how smart you think you are, there is always going to be someone out there who is smarter than you." Can't say I have encountered an anti-vaxxer that fits the bill.
