  1. This is all performance art. Donald Trump would like you to forget that his best buddy called him a pedophile so he sent in the Marines.
  2. Is this the same Kash Patel, Hero of Q-Anon, who promised to out the Epstein killers? Opps, never mind.
  3. As I documented earlier, after three hours and three different support reps, the only solution was adding my daughter's US phone number to the page. They were extremely polite, but their lack of knowledge about the systems they claim to support is concerning. I considered purchasing a virtual US number, but the reps couldn't confirm whether it would work.
  4. I don’t see it. I have been extending my retirement visa for the past 24 years. It costs me less than $100 a year and takes half a day. The biggest change was the move from Soi Suan Plu to CW.
  5. May 4 was the last time I received a PIN on my AIS number. When I attempted again about two weeks later, it failed. Since everything had worked throughout 2024, I assumed it was a recent DOGE SNAFU. I can understand system failures, but what concerns me is the lack of awareness of the issue among the people responsible for maintaining the systems and assisting users
  6. I spent three hours over three days on the phone with the tech support people at DMDC explaining all of this. They had no explanation and were unable to fix it. I finally suggested adding my daughter's NY number to the system. Based on your experience it's pretty obvious that a US number is required.
  7. TOP is not available on id.me or login.gov.
  8. I just checked TOP and it seems only DS Logon is accepted.
  9. It was more fun back in the 'jittery meter' days when the fare would jump from 50 baht to 70 baht every time you hit a bump.
  10. It is available on login.gov, but I do not have a US telephone number.
  11. It is available on login.gov, but I do not have a US telephone number.
  12. It is a recording. "thank you for attempting to callback pertaining to your voice one time code request. If you did not initiate a code request please contact your bank immediately."
  13. I should have been clearer. I had been using DS Logon since early 2024 when the Tricare Overseas Portal directed me there. Everything was fine until mid-May, when MFA stopped sending me a text PIN. I have never been locked out—the system always indicated that a PIN had been sent, but I never received one. Selecting the phone option resulted in a recorded message to the AIS number but no PIN, so I assume the number is correct. I attempted to access TOP directly some time ago but received the 'Sorry Charlie' message. I use ID.me for VA access and connect directly to myPay at DFAS, so I won’t miss DS Logon. It sounds like I should go for MyAuth. Thanks
  14. I never quite understood how that dynamic came to be. Donald Trump is a teetotaler, abstaining from alcohol and drugs, while Elon Musk has been open about his frequent use of substances like psychedelics and marijuana. Yet, despite their stark personal differences, they have found themselves aligned in various political and social arenas. It’s a fascinating example of how politics creates unexpected alliances and brings together individuals who might otherwise have little in common. As the saying goes, politics truly makes strange bedfellows.
  15. You have confirmed my suspicion that DS Logon is broken and does not work with my local AIS phone number. DMDC tech support was quite clueless, but they finally allowed my daughter's US number, enabling me to access the Tricare Overseas Portal. It's a bit inconvenient, but I don't need it often. Considering all the current upheaval, I am reluctant to attempt transitioning to the MyAuth protocol now that I have access via DS Logon. Anyway, many thanks for your response.
  16. Sounds like the setup for a great new reality tv show. How about "Handcuffs & High Heels"
  17. I am a retired U.S. service member. For the past two weeks, I have been unable to access DMDC websites. The DS Logon system uses multi-factor authentication (MFA) and typically sends a PIN code to my phone. However, I am not receiving the code on my AIS phone. Are other DMDC site users experiencing similar issues? Is the system still functioning for anyone?
  18. Mostly agree. Except for the longer duration experienced by some patients. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20240206/How-is-long-COVID-different-from-other-post-viral-infection-syndromes.aspx
  19. I have heard about Long Covid, never Long Flu...
  20. Please get the new COVID-19 booster-not for the usual reasons, but because the batteries powering the microchips from your initial vaccine shots are running low. Without the booster, you risk losing access to premium surveillance features, like spontaneous Bluetooth connectivity and the ability to know when your neighbor is microwaving popcorn. Unfortunately, I can’t provide a link to this vital information. The warning comes directly from the chips. If you didn’t receive the low-battery alert it’s probably because your chip’s batteries are already depleted.
  21. October 2013 29.25 baht per USD. Close but no cigar!
  22. Pregabalin really helps with the pain, but is quite addictive. I speak from personal experience. Be careful.
