Thai students rank below average in global education survey
HappyExpat57 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Lately?!? I've seen this same story and the same replies posted for almost two decades (and that's all I'm aware of - most likely has been going on long before). -
Learn how to make USB installation media (or get a tech savvy friend to help). Not difficult at all: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-installation-media-for-windows-99a58364-8c02-206f-aa6f-40c3b507420d

I like what Joe has accomplished, but he's WAY too long in the tooth. His paraphrased words: "I'm a one-term president to make sure you-know-who doesn't win the election." Joe's hubris has a strong chance of destroying democracy as we know it in the US. We ALL know what a dumpster fire the likely Republican candidate is. IF you buy into polls, ANY unknown Democrat candidate handily beats dumpster fire by a sizeable number of votes, while Joe is virtually neck-and-neck, sometimes in the lead, sometimes NOT. It absolutely SUCKS thinking "THIS is the best both parties can come up with?" I'm tired of having to hold my nose when making this choice. Again.

Facebook has gone crazy draconian with their AI censorship. I got flagged for referring to MYSELF as a fat old guy. Seemingly innocent phrases will knock you out of the loop and you have NO RECOURSE. Trying to complain to a FB admin is futile. I doubt 1 in 10,000 requests for more info are looked at. Move on to Instagram. MUCH more lenient, and where I used to find myself getting in arguments (much like this arena) I've found myself less and less on FB and AN, and more on Instagram, actually laughing at posts. Instagram seems like what FB used to be.

Republican George Santos expelled from Congress in bipartisan vote
HappyExpat57 replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
Here's the deal - the Republicans fought like hell to defend him cuz they needed his vote. Then it became apparent he would tarnish their already filthy party reputation and hurt their reelection bids. At that time, they turned on him and the rest is now history. The trouble with government is there's just too much politics. -
Republican George Santos expelled from Congress in bipartisan vote
HappyExpat57 replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
Oh, he's gonna be held accountable. The best he can hope for is a plea deal, and I can't imagine what he has of any value to negotiate for a lower sentence. -
Republican George Santos expelled from Congress in bipartisan vote

There were STILL 114 Repubs and 1 Dem who voted against expelling him. -

Pubs and bars in parts of Thailand a step closer to 4am closing
HappyExpat57 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Bars/pubs in Pattaya are already open until 4:00 a.m. This would merely legalize their operations. Could the issue be that brown envelopes are at risk? -
Visa-free travel policies boost global tourism and economy
HappyExpat57 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Wow! Make it easy for tourists and they will come spend money? WHAT a NOVEL CONCEPT! -
What to you use to track your finances?
HappyExpat57 replied to biervoormij's topic in IT and Computers
I use a combination of Excel spreadsheet and Outlook Calendar. Outlook is set up to remind me of income tax which I pay quarterly, property taxes semi-annually, and other such reminders. -
New Website... or How to Upgrade Back in Time
HappyExpat57 replied to Skipalongcassidy's topic in Forum Support Desk
NOT complaining, just making a real time observation. It took over a minute for this topic to load, and this is after seeing a FB post that the latest upgrade had completed. I know my connection is doing its thing as I have a show streaming simultaneously. As for the top of the page button, I imagine that will return some day as happened in the last improvement about a month or so ago. Just curious - did Elon Musk silently purchase AN?
