It's spelled whiner. He's the greatest ever at that.

I hear that Hannibal Lecter is endorsing Harris. It may be the cats and dogs thing. 🤷🏻‍♂️

in 2016 blue voters were not motivated. The biggest difference between then and now is that they realize that Trump is in the running for Worst Human on the Planet and a genuine danger to the country. They are highly motivated now.

Here ya go. A "collapse" being described as a train wreck. Bonus image: Trump's stock. If Trump loses the election it becomes essentially worthless. Here's this morning's trading - that's gotta sting.

They used that specific word on air, along with other similar phrases. Surely they'll backpedal today, but that's exactly what was said. Even ex-Foxer Bill O'Reilly was shaking his head and criticizing his "obsession with the eating dog and cats" malarky.

Even Fox News said it was a train wreck. So they disagree with you, for one.

I don't know what rate they use, as I've never done it. I've always thought the same as you, that they would squeeze me on the rate. But looking at the links posted earlier, those were actually slightly better than Wise. If those are the rates I'd actually get I can't say until I try it. I'm pretty happy with Wise overall, and the money hits in seconds. So no trip to the bank. That's worth a few bucks right there.

To be fair, there have been a number of proven instances of individual fraud. Shockingly, though, they were votes for Trump.

Thanks. Mine charges $5, but for some reason they love me so much that any time they charge me a fee I can ask them to waive it and they do. I'm honestly not sure why. It's saved me a few hundred dollars over the years.

Did they return the money to Mexico?

Trump says the sentencing is too close to the election. He neglects to mention that it was delayed until now at his request. Does that mean Trump's guilty of election interface? Again, I mean.

Generally speaking, we Americans are baffled by the apostrophe. 😀

Thanks. Those are handy links.

What exchange rate are you getting?

You're right. We can truly see what a horrible human being he is.

I took it to mean that's how the law is worded. 🤷🏻‍♂️

What a way to, uh, go.

I wouldn't trust him because he's stupid enough to conduct an ongoing enterprise he was certain to be arrested for.

Really. What was she wearing? Maybe she was asking for it. 🙄

For blockages, start with a stress test. That's where they put you on a treadmill while hooked up to an ECG. If there's a blockage that test will show that something is wrong. The next step would be to see where they are. They inject a substance that will allow them to observe your blood flow. The next step depends on the severity. Often one or two stents will be needed to open the blockages, but if the problem is bad enough then surgery might be required. My own experience five years ago was this: 1) I had a stress test at Pattaya International Hospital. Cost was 4,000 plus 1,300 for the cardiologist. 2) Scheduled the injection test at Phyathai Hospital in Si Racha. 3) Test showed a 65% blockage and a 35% blockage. Doctor recommended 1 stent. 4) I agreed and he immediately installed it. I was awake and alert the entire time. I felt nothing except for the entry point on the wrist. 5) I spend the night in ICU there for observation, but that's just a precaution. I felt fine and there was no issue at all. Total cost at Phyathai was 220,000. For one comparison, Bangkok Pattaya wanted 400,000. The doctor was Dr. Ekkhalak Koonsiripaiboon. About 40 years old, sharp and spoke excellent English. In hindsight, I wish I'd have asked to stent the 35% blockage as well. Normally it's not done for only 35%, but considering that I was already there on the table the extra cost would have just been the stent itself (not cheap, of course. From Germany, I believe. "The best on the market," said the Doc.) Here's my before and after images:

I've always given 20 baht to anyone who asks. I don't judge them first to see If I think it's a legitimate request. I figure I've done my part and now the burden is theirs if they're not actually needy. I've had plenty of times in my life when I needed a break.

He should have quoted these words:

I don't know the answer, but I tried to find an example of a 6 year-old getting a sex change operation. I couldn't find any. It's probably just my poor searching skills, so would you mind posting a few examples? Thanks, that'll be helpful.

It's much worse than that. He's a Trumpist.

Juries convict, judges sentence. Two different things. Surely you've heard the phrase "convicted by a jury of his peers". You might argue that Trump has no peers, and I might agree with you, but not in the same way.
