  1. If they fitted these to all the trees....that might work.....save them having to brush up all the leaf litter everyday ....!!!
  2. If he has an AK47 hidden away for the inauguration that may well be true.
  3. So there were no LA fires during Trump's term in office? 2017 • Skirball Fire: Burned in December 2017 near the Bel-Air neighborhood of Los Angeles, causing property damage and evacuations. • La Tuna Fire: In September 2017, this fire burned in the Verdugo Mountains near Burbank and was one of the largest wildfires in Los Angeles history at the time. 2018 • Woolsey Fire: In November 2018, this fire started in Ventura County and spread to parts of Los Angeles County, including Malibu. It caused significant destruction, burning nearly 97,000 acres and destroying over 1,600 structures. • Hill Fire: Occurred around the same time as the Woolsey Fire and affected areas in Ventura and Los Angeles counties. 2019 • Getty Fire: In October 2019, this fire burned in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles, prompting evacuations and threatening homes. • Saddleridge Fire: In October 2019, this fire burned in the San Fernando Valley, destroying homes and forcing thousands to evacuate. 2020 • Bobcat Fire: Burned in the San Gabriel Mountains in September 2020, becoming one of the largest fires in Los Angeles County history. It burned over 115,000 acres. • Lake Fire: Burned in August 2020 in the Angeles National Forest, destroying several structures. Trump’s administration faced criticism from California officials over disaster response and funding.
  4. And there we have it......the answer in a nutshell.
  5. Have all the comebacks from this post been deleted.......? Strange?
  6. Which begs the question......when these fires really started to kick off during Trump's presidency....what did he do about it?
  7. I see you didn't comment on the estimated 19.8 million deaths that were averted due to the implementation of the Covid19 vaccine programs. Obviously, it doesn't fit your narrative.
  8. Well after that detailed, well constructed argument supported with extensive evidence ......I give in......I concede.......no covid mRNA vaccines were ever tested.......they were developed in the lab and just banged out to the general public...fingers crossed.....5555
  9. Nice try.....but these 'characters' aren't interested ......science and "facts'"are a total anathema to them. If you could get some quack to present this on YouTube or TikTok they might just listen.
  10. The reason given is that aircraft have multiple backup systems in the event of primary electrical failure. Having said that I was surprised they don't have their own power supply. Very odd the last four minutes are missing.
  11. Just bought a pair of steel capped ones, heavy duty from Lazada.
  12. So you CBA reading this bit....??? 5. Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) / Approval • After Phase 3 trials, Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna submitted data to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory bodies (e.g., the European Medicines Agency or EMA) for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). • Regulatory agencies conducted a thorough review of all data, including: • Efficacy data showing that the vaccine effectively prevented severe COVID-19 illness. • Safety data showing that the vaccines had a favorable risk-benefit profile. • After the review, both vaccines were granted EUA by the FDA in December 2020, allowing them to be administered to the public while ongoing monitoring continued.
  13. Just started doing the same...for other reasons.....but I can see the benfit of nailing everything down should the tax man come after me.
  14. 1-2 months plus several months plus several months......get a grip,
  15. Another thing that crossed my mind.......how many expats even have a clue that these changes are taking place? I only know from coming on this site......there must be 1000's out there, blissfully ignorant, and not rushing to get their TIN and file a return for March 31.
  16. I receive a government pension taxed at source.........so if I used this for funding my life in Thailand I either won't pay tax on it here.....or will at least get a tax credit for the tax I pay in the UK......??????
  17. Before mRNA vaccines, such as the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines, were approved for emergency or full use, they underwent several rigorous stages of testing to assess safety and efficacy. Here’s an outline of the process: 1. Preclinical Testing (Lab and Animal Studies) • Objective: To assess the safety, immune response, and potential efficacy of the vaccine. • Process: • Animal studies: Typically conducted in mice, rats, and non-human primates to evaluate whether the vaccine induces the desired immune response and does not cause harmful effects. • The mRNA technology used in the COVID-19 vaccines had been previously studied in labs for other diseases (e.g., Zika, flu, cancer), but the COVID-19 vaccines were tested in animals before moving to human trials. • Outcome: Encouraging results were obtained in animals, showing that the mRNA vaccines were effective at generating an immune response. 2. Phase 1 Clinical Trials (Initial Human Trials) • Objective: To evaluate the safety and dosage of the vaccine. • Process: • Participants: A small group (often 20-100) of healthy volunteers. • Testing: The focus was on safety, the immune response, and determining the appropriate dosage for further trials. • Outcomes: This phase helped identify any immediate, severe side effects (e.g., allergic reactions) and the optimal dose that induces a good immune response. • Duration: Typically 1-2 months. 3. Phase 2 Clinical Trials (Expanded Human Trials) • Objective: To further assess safety, side effects, and immune response in a larger group of participants. • Process: • Participants: Hundreds of volunteers, including those from various age groups and risk categories. • Testing: Vaccine doses were refined, and participants were monitored for side effects, immune responses, and any potential efficacy signals. • Outcomes: This phase confirmed the safety and immune response induced by the vaccine. • Duration: Usually several months. 4. Phase 3 Clinical Trials (Large-Scale Human Trials) • Objective: To assess the vaccine’s efficacy and safety in a much larger population. • Process: • Participants: Thousands of volunteers (often over 30,000), including people from a wide range of demographics (e.g., elderly, people with underlying health conditions). • Testing: This phase measured how well the vaccine protected against infection (or severe illness) and assessed side effects across a large group. • Outcome: • Efficacy: The mRNA vaccines showed high efficacy in preventing symptomatic COVID-19 (around 94-95% in early results for Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna). • Safety: Serious side effects were rare, and the vaccines generally had side effects similar to those of other vaccines (e.g., soreness at the injection site, fatigue, mild fever). • Duration: Typically lasted several months to a year. 5. Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) / Approval • After Phase 3 trials, Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna submitted data to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory bodies (e.g., the European Medicines Agency or EMA) for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). • Regulatory agencies conducted a thorough review of all data, including: • Efficacy data showing that the vaccine effectively prevented severe COVID-19 illness. • Safety data showing that the vaccines had a favorable risk-benefit profile. • After the review, both vaccines were granted EUA by the FDA in December 2020, allowing them to be administered to the public while ongoing monitoring continued. 6. Post-Approval Monitoring (Phase 4) • Objective: To continue monitoring the vaccine’s long-term safety and effectiveness in the general population. • Process: • Ongoing surveillance systems like the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and V-safe were used to monitor adverse events, including rare or long-term side effects. • The EUA was later converted to full approval (for Pfizer-BioNTech in August 2021) based on continued safety and efficacy data. Summary: • Preclinical studies and clinical trials (Phases 1-3) assessed safety, immune response, and efficacy. • The mRNA vaccines were subjected to more rigorous testing than some other vaccine types due to the novel technology, but they followed standard protocols used for any vaccine approval. • Post-approval monitoring continues to ensure safety in the wider population. Hardly......"not tested at all"
  18. ........and Hell will have finally frozen over.
  19. Don't shout at me.....I'm very delicate....this is the statement that confuses me..... Under Thai tax rules, foreign income (e.g., pensions or investment income) is taxable only if remitted to Thailand in the same calendar year it is earned. That says to me if I prove it was "earned" more than a year before I remitted it, it is tax free??????
  20. Yikes....thanks for that ....going to have take a long hard look at all this stuff....cheers.
