Get back to pushing a mop, you don't have enough brain cells.

It sounds like my Vios when it is backing up. Be careful, I might reverse the car over you if you ignore it.

Have you been living under a rock? It's about the prevention of serious injury and death from a highly communicable lung infection. I sometimes wish there was a jab that made people smarter. I would happily donate mine to someone much more in need than I am.

Wrong. Again. You are obviously unaware of analytical techniques such as polymerase chain reactions (PCR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy ( SEM ). The PCR test detects the DNA of a virus. DNA sequencing is then used to define the structure of the virus. The DNA sequence of COVID differs from flu. When observed under a SEM, it is quite clear the size and morphology of flu and coronavirus are different. That's where COVID gets its name, from the crowning spike protein. In your response, you did not advance one shred of physical evidence, only a belief in some quack seeking fame by being contrarian. Go argue with the SEM images. They will have more patience with fools than I do.

Please stop revising history. The Holodomor was orchestrated by Stalin, who then moved ethnic Russians into the most fertile region of Ukraine, if not the world, after killing off about 6 million Ukrainians. Lebensraum in reverse. The only factors in Putin's decision to invade Ukraine were his repeatedly expressed desire to restore the Soviet Union to its former glory, plus being told what he wanted to hear by the FSB. The rest were not factors, but excuses.

Nuclear is the most expensive form of electricity on the planet, and there's also the problem of what to do with a nuclear facility when it reaches end of life in 50 years. Currently, the solution is to encase the whole plant in concrete, and let the irradiated steel decay for the next 150,000 years. Currently, only 5% of hydrogen is produced from electrolysis of water by renewable energy. 95% is made by cracking methane, biomass and natural gas, which has carbon dioxide as a by product, the very thing the world is trying to reduce. It's a Red Queen's race. Clever people know renewable energy is denigrated by the fossil fuel industry, as it sees its market share shrinking. Unfortunately, you are not one of them.

Is this not hypothetical? AFAIK the TRD only wants to know whether income or savings are being transferred.

Do you mean a slog for you to retrieve your records, or a slog to prove them to the TRD?

Trump calling maneuvers provocative is one thing. Letting the fat boy use a nuke on South Korea without response would be an entirely different kettle of fish.

I could prove it for 7 years. That's how long I keep my financial and tax records. AFAIK all I have to do is prove my savings in banks and financial institutions as at 31/12/2023. Done and dusted.

"Vernon Edward Coleman is an English conspiracy theorist and writer, who writes on topics related to human health, politics and animal welfare. He was formerly a general practitioner and newspaper columnist. Coleman's medical claims have been widely discredited and described as pseudoscientific conspiracy theories." AFAIK COVID detection kits do not detect flu. The flu virus is 80 -120 nm in diameter. COVID is 125 nm in diameter. Calling coronavirus rebranded flu is plain ridiculous. Long COVID was very real to my mate. I have just given you evidence long COVID exists. "What is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence." What is your evidence COVID is rebranded flu? What is your evidence long COVID does not exist?

Welcome to the club. Thailand specializes in obscure and fuzzy.

My rule with government departments is to volunteer no information. First the TRD has to find me. If I am asked why I did not file a tax return, I respond there is a DTA with Australia. Second, I am transferring savings. Third, I am transferring pension income. Fourth, I have 500,000 in tax concessions. The only concern I have is the TRD, like Immigration, makes up the rules as they go along.

According to other posters, having a Thai pink card automatically means you are identified to the TRD, although not necessarily with the same number.

You are wrong. I had COVID after two vaccinations. Three days of a runny nose and sore throat, finish. An UNVACCINATED friend of mine got COVID about the same time as I did. Prior to the infection, he would walk 10 miles a day, for exercise. After COVID, he could barely walk to his front gate for months, and had memory loss and confusion. Long COVID is real.

Invitation refused. I am not a Thai citizen. 2000 baht fine for not submitting a tax return? Bring it on. The mountain will have to come to Mohammed.

Personally, I would never rent or own a Cybertruck. IMO only people who rhyme with anchors would. I suppose the perpetrator though the combination of stored battery energy, and increased payload of explosive ( 2500 lb vs 1860 lb for a Ford Ranger ) would make a more dramatic statement for posterity.

I am wondering why the OP has chosen outside Phitsanulok, to me it's a nothing town. Perhaps the Thai wife is steering him in that direction. As other posters have said, first rent for a year, before committing. If the OP has some kind of health crisis, he is a long way from medical help Phitsanulok has two government hospitals. One is focused on traditional Thai medicine. It has three private hospitals. None appear to be part of a hospital chain, such as Bangkok Hospital.

IMO South Korea should not go nuclear. The world is dangerous enough as it is. The more variables there are in any equation, the more complex and unpredictable the result becomes.

Let's say Russia rolls up Ukrainian forces as far as Kyiv, and declares victory. It then faces a partisan movement operating from the Carpathians, armed with Javelins and Stingers to bring down any Russian aircraft attacking them. Much like Afghanistan before, Ukraine will become a bleeding sore for which Russia has no remedy.

True, it's a war of attrition. You are missing the point the attrition is happening to Russia as well, and not just on the battlefield. Russia's supply of troops is not inexhaustible. The presence of North Korean troops proves that. Putin knows if he starts conscripting in Moscow and St. Petersburg, the sham of Russian propaganda will be exposed. Figures don't lie, except perhaps when they come from official Russian sources. Bank interest rates of 21% mean the cost to borrowers is 5-6 basis points higher. Food inflation of 10%, IMO it is higher than that. The fact forex trading in the ruble has been suspended to prevent shorting illustrates continuing attrition in purchasing power. After some kind of peace deal is brokered, you think the Russians will have won? No foreign investor except China will touch Russia with a barge pole, and China has its own problems. There are no winners in this war, both sides lose, however territory is distributed.

I'd say Gen Z will be expecting to be getting the same pension as Baby Boomers are currently receiving, and may well be disappointed.

You have lost the supplements. It's a bigger proportion than someone on a full pension, because it is a fixed amount, not a ratio as in the part pension. When you are overseas, you lose exactly the same as anyone else. Give me time to get my hankie out, so I can cry a little for you.

John McCain once described Russia as a gasoline station masquerading as a country. In case you have not heard, the world is moving away from fossil fuels, in response to climate change. Germany has technologically-advanced, world class companies such as BASF, Krupp-Thyssen, Siemens, Henkel, SAP, Bayer, and Bosch. In automotive alone, it has Mercedes, BMW, VW and Audi. What does Russia have - Lada? A country that has to cannibalize imported refrigerators and washing machines for microchips is a primitive economy. The prediction it will overtake Germany is laughable.

IMO you are confusing offensive and defensive operations. Russia, conducting a defensive operation against Hitler, had several factors in its favor - the morale of their soldiers defending the motherland, much shorter supply chains, and the Russian winter. They had support from the West, not sanctions. It's the other way around in Ukraine. The Ukrainians are just as accustomed to winter as the Russians, they are the ones with Western support. The Russians are the ones with morale problems, and long supply chains. They have already demonstrated their abject incompetence in logistics. There's no doubt Russians are good defenders. In offensive operations, the butcher's bill they have with human wave tactics is not an indicator of excellence. Military doctrine indicates defence is always less costly than offense, which makes the Ukrainian achievement of invading the Kursk area even more impressive in terms of planning and leadership.
