  1. IIRC there is a phone app that can be installed. It takes a reading from a test strip. Perhaps Sheryl can comment on the accuracy.
  2. Assuming they can even read English. They can check the logo and company name against the Australian Business Number ( ABN ) to authenticate the screenshot. My guess is it would be all too hard.
  3. Thanks. I have screenshots with proof of pre 2024 savings. Bank accounts, financial institutions.
  4. So I can transfer 500K in income tax free, then claim any excess is pre-2024 savings?
  5. What is the total tax exempt amount for someone over 65?
  6. My Australian bank has not said anything about a Thai TIN. Of course, they don't know, because I transfer funds through WISE's Australian branch. Any savings you have prior to 2024 are tax exempt when transferred to Thailand.
  7. Halong Bay in Vietnam is a Unesco-listed world heritage site. It is truly disgusting how badly it is polluted with floating plastic, mainly polystyrene.
  8. In other words, you've got nothing but your own crapulous opinion, with no facts to support it.
  9. Paracelsus said "The dose makes the poison". The amount of plastics and plasticiser we ingest is unlikely to be significant. OTOH, plastics have been found at the bottom of the Marianas Trench. Not good.
  10. RIP innocent people. I don't remember Bourbon Street being that wide, or having tram tracks.
  11. What benefit would Canadians get, apart from signing up for a $38 trillion debt?
  12. "what most people feel about people like you?" Run me a list of the people on ASEAN who dislike me. Then run the same list excluding trolls like yourself. Classic ad hominem and gaslighting, pathetic.
  13. I don't work for free. I don't do charity cases either.
  14. My IQ results and career achievements prove I am. I have made my own luck, and will die solvent. Tell me how many Trump voters can say that.
  15. I wasn't aware one needed a bachelor's degree to pick melons, or if someone with one would be willing to do so. "Highly skilled laborer " is a bit of an oxymoron. Where's Mr. Majestyk when he's needed?
  16. I only call people dumb who deserve it, using the evidence they post themselves.
  17. AFAIK there are two ways to improve water hardness. The first is a water softener, a solid which exchanges sodium ions for calcium and magnesium ions. The second are complexants such as ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid ( EDTA ) or nitriloacetic acid. They tie up the calcium so it won't precipitate out of solution. I suspect that is what your solution is. The RO system will remove 98-99% of the EDTA. However, you should be aware EDTA can cause kidney damage, depending on the dose.
  18. Steve Bannon is a class act, everyone knows that. The closest analogy I can think of is a wasp crawling up an elephant's leg. Or current world flyweight champion Dusmatov, taking on Mike Tyson in his prime years.
  19. Are you misreading the link, Sheryl? It says the ANNUAL inflation rate for 2024 is about 1%, not per month. It's a bit confusing because the bar chart seems to be saying the opposite to what is in the text. The price of a cooked pad siew gai is 50 baht, like it has been for four years. My massage lady still charges 150 baht/hour. Granted migrant workers and Thais on the edge of poverty may notice the difference. An increase of 5 baht for 30 eggs costing 140 baht I don't even notice, so we should count ourselves lucky we are in the Land of Smiles. Happy New Year, and may you have many more of them.
  20. Don't say that, MAGA's get very butt-hurt when you do. But but but Trump won!!!!
  21. I agree inflation is common in the Western world. However, what makes you think Thailand has inflation? Rents are going through the roof in Australia. They are the same for condos in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai as they were 4 years ago. Ownership is the same cost as ten years ago. If anything, prices are depressed a little. Certainly, imported foods have spiked. However, I can't say any of the meat, fruit, vegetables and eggs I buy in local day markets or at Makro have changed so much it has impacted my monthly budget.
  22. You talk to me about ignorance, when you don't know the difference between gleam and glean, and use syntax a primary school kid would be ashamed of? Fact 1: The tariffs Trump wants are inflationary. Fact 2: The tax cuts he wants are inflationary. Fact 3: Illegal immigrants pick the crops. They are cheaper labor than legal immigrants. Deport them, and watch supermarket food prices leap. I deal in facts, you deal in abuse. Goodbye.
