There is an inverse relationship between the dB's of noise and the size of an essential part of the (male) driver's anatomy.

But I'm not sure if a tourist on a tourist visa can get a residence certificate. I got mine only after the personal 90-days reporting.

- if 99% are vaccinated, how can the 1% be a danger to the others?
- if 98% are vaccinated, can the 2% be a danger to the others?
..until at some stage the smaller percentage will be a danger. But if, just if, that smaller percentage is something like 30%, then that's an unfair ratio of the majority effectively forcing their beliefs on the minority.
I would assume that 80% of eligible adults are happy to be jabbed (as I have), so what's with people around the world being forced what they do with their bodies? It's similar to being forced to wear a seatbelt while driving; doing so only protects the individual, so why should others get involved?
Yes, I understand that a stupid person who gets sick or injured takes up hospital services, but that could be said for many other things in life, such as people with high-risk jobs.
Being pro-vaccination is not a belief but based on a plethora of facts and evidence. If non-vaxers would be 1-2% nobody would spill a word, but the numbers like 20-30% are a serious threat in terms of them needing hospital beds. As they die away the threat becomes less, but until then they cause costs and are a considerable burden. You cannot really compare this with other diseases like from smoking etc, because the numbers - although still too many - are manageable, unlike a Covid outbreak. But over time according to Darwinian principles the problem will solve itself.

My experience is that what they actually wanted is proof of some address other than a hotel or guest house. I live in a condo that is in my wife's name. So we drew up a rental contract stating that I rent space there for unlimited time. And that provided for the tick in the box. Apart from that the visa needs to be OK, I don't know if a tourist visa will do, since I have a retirement visa. But some proof of address may help.

I married and almost all my savings are in het name in accounts that I can use as my own as long as I'm alive (saves a lot of tax back home). We have three condos that are also in her name.

I was in a music bar last night (Friday), three musicians, a full beer list and drinks served in large paper cups. It probably depends on who has the best contacts with the local law enforcers.

Here is where I ordered my QWERTY keyboard:
You can even use it for other languages than English!

I ordered one on lazada. Pure latin QWERTY keyboard. I have difficulty logging in to Lazada, so can't send a link. But it was easy to find.

I also get many, but I disabled something in their app and that did help to reduce the garbage a bit.

I did the same. It worked well in the past but the last three reports i did by mail. Can take up to six weeks.

My experience is also great, even with larger sums. Quick arrival and good rates.

I needed to report two days ago (20 Sep). I have done it online till two or three times ago, this time also I got the message to contact immigration. So I sent the paperwork by mail again, knowing it will take up to n6 weeks to get a reply. I don't know why this is so problematic.

This survey is poorly formulated. Either just say zero, one or two shots (what's the point in brand names) or make a complete list of all the possibilities. Now there are a lot of "others" and who is going to sort them out?

Statistically you are more likely (I think around 80+%) to die from covid if you are obese, suffer from hypertension or heart disease. So you are correct about natural selection, but it will not be based on whether you believed in the vaccine or not, it will be based on how well you've looked after your own health in the past.
You are half correct. Statistically you are more likely (I think around 80+%) to die from covid if you are obese, suffer from hypertension or heart disease AND if you are not vaccinated.

The sentence says they actually do work.

The non vaccinated will use up hospital resources so health care will be more difficult to get for those who are social citizens. The upside is that there will be less and less irresponsible idiots based on natural selection.

Just point your camera at the QR code on your vaccination paper. You get taken to a web site that shows the green certificate. Make a screen shot, crop the edges and you have a beautiful proof to show. Which I have not been asked to do till now by the way.

Please stay away. It would make me sad to see the average IQ drop with your arrival.

Thanks again for this. I went there today and they did a nice job installing a dash cam. Professional place.

My wife told me it is open again. Best make a phone call or have it made.

I would like to have a dash cam installed in my Mazda 2. The dealer can do it, but it is quite expensive. Anyone know of a reliable shop to fit a dash cam, built-in style? I don't want loose cables, extenders, rubber bands etc but a professional installation. I live in Bangkok.

The pool for me is something that really adds something to my life. I use it every day and really missed it when it was closed. Our condo has 54 units, only 3-4 people use the pool. The rest have my thanks for maintaining it.

Why is that those ‘claiming latest research’ only ever post without a link, without anything to back up their claim and when they do its never a reliable source such as the CDC, WHO, LANCET or anything Peer Reviewed ???
Dick Z... I do agree with your assertion that IF the spread of virus is equally probable from Vaccinated and Non-Vaccinated people then taking a vaccine in the first places comes down to personal choice rather than community choice.
However, that is a big ‘IF’... Additionally, when it is already proven that vaccinated people are protected from contracting the virus (and testing positive for) Covid-19 in the first place (i.e. 95% of those dual vaccinated with Pfizer) then their already is a far lesser possibility of community spread. Add to this fact that for those who do contract Covid-19 do so to a far lesser degree (minimised symptoms), they are carrying less viral load and gain, the risk of transmission, or degree of transmission is again minimised as a result of the vaccine.
Even IF as you stated above there is a risk of transmission from vaccinated people, it is clearly far less. Any research which states otherwise needs to contradict what is already understood of viral load.
Ultimately if 50% (Sinovac) to 95% (Pfizer Moderna) vaccinated individual do not contract Covid-19, they cannot spread it (*Note, the efficacy figures quoted above are pre Delta variant figures).
Also note: That while I did make the comment for ‘sources’ to reference your claim, I do not think it necessary to provide sources of efficacy and the rest of my comment as this is widely understood and readily available information, whereas we have to dig a lot deeper to source information that the risk of spread of Covid-19 is relatively equal between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.
Here is some additional information. It's still immature, but yet...
If you have trouble with the Dutch articles... maybe that is a reason for me to omit some sources, but there is always Google translate.
