Yes, describes as a 'convenience' store for a reason. And as important, consistent in it's offerings, unlike street food, especially when O&A.

Yes, awaiting the activation letter to complete registration to sign in SSA account. My concern is, contrary to what was stated while applying (using USA address to register, won't change present info), that another AN member stated the opposite, it did change his info, and he so far, even via Manila, hasn't been able to change his address back to TH. With you stating you need a That address to have IDD deposits in TH, that's a bit of a concern, as don't want go the ACH route, or have my deposits interrupted this year. At present, I have no real need for a MySSA account. I'm certainly not going to move in the future. Seems changing address, not the biggest issue in the world, as I'll keep the PO Box (just for the 7162) if needed, but seems, as in the past, address change via Manila was quite easy, when not having a MySSA account.

Not a problem, as they don't care. You can get the multi entry version, used to be 3800 baht, (vs 1900), or an exit stamp every time, and used to be 1000 baht per exit. Do your 90 day pulse checks online. I think that's correct, if not, someone will be along to correct me.

When that letter comes to USA address, and wants me to verify address, I think I'll just ignore it. Go the Manila route. My deposits are IDD to BkkBank/PKK

Out of Stock at that vendor ... other options/vendors

Take a peek here, it's a LAZMALL vendor ... ASUS shows upgradable INFO from Cambo site (base model): LAZ INFO:

Not sure what's available now, but the NVIDIA MX 350 was configured as: That wee bit made a huge difference in graphic processing speed over the DDRs available at the time. I'm not much of a techie myself, and the program software stated minumum specs to use, and it was a noticeable difference. LightRoom was instant response now, and Topaz DeNoise needed it just to operate. Actually bought the newer laptop (RAM, SSD & graphic card) just for editing. Oher laptop was like 5 yrs old, and not really worth upgrading. Newer ASUS is from their VivoBook line, if that helps.

I personally wouldn't get a laptop with graphic card using shared RAM/memory. Should have it's own dedicated RAM. And you might need to up your budget more than 20k. Last 2 we got, ASUS & Lenovo, me & wife, and were about eh 25k mark. 3 yrs old for me/ASUS (from JIB online), and maybe shy of 2 for her Lenovo, both running good (Win10). The ASUS having dedicated graphic card, needed to run 2 of my programs for editing photos. Promo for card (from NVIDIA): Graphic card made a major difference over prior laptop, another ASUS, and gave that one to daughter. I would steer clear of HP / Acer, as too proprietary ... and crap.

Going out on the limb here, and say ... simply swap the protein with the prawns. Wouldn't be my choice though, as prawns are too delicate, flavor wise, to come through the spiciness of GraPao. Matter of fact, for me, most proteins are, especially if using ground meat. Why a prefer a chunkier stewed/braised beef, or crispy pork as the protein for GraPao. If you're not a rice fan, I swap out the rice for egg noodles usually. Or pasta, although I'm getting away from most pasta (wheat) intake of late. I do a lot of Asain fusion that way. Not a white rice fan at all.

You put your best tires on the front. Front or back, they will perform the same, front or rear drive. As the same surface area is in contact with the road. New or not, no difference, unless you're running 'may pops'. Mechanic is correct, newer tires will disperse water better, deeper treads. Main reason for best tires on the front, if you get a blow out, you want it to be in the rear. Just play the percentages, newer, more tread, less wear/stress already, less chance of.

Reading comprehension

Haven't noticed any difference in eggs, worldwide. Better here than USA, as yolks have more color, so read nutritionally better here. Eat 2 large (-0-) scrambled eggs almost every day, first meal, and possibly more later on. Good source or protein, cholesterol along with cooked in olive oil & butter. Lots of omelets when wanting a full meal. Will add them to a salad. We go through about 30 eggs every 10 days, if not sooner, 2 different nutritional charts.

to the title ... easier to list the negatives: 1. air pollution 2. water pollution 3. no more ... that's all, just 2

He / I would never, as 'all lives matter'. I'm part of the 'human race', not white, , black, christian, jew, muslim, dem or rep. Citizen of earth, anti label user and just happen to hold a USA PP. Only got few adjectives to describe people, arrogant & ignorant-stupid, and the only 2 that I can post. (stupid is just an schooled version of ignorant) blm riots were an embarrassment to and for blacks. Nothing but a money grab by the organizers. And the left fell for it, hook line & sinker.

click on the provided link, and you tell us

@Pib Used the SSA link on IDme site, after signing in. Had to establish a 'gov' account, success, then directed to SSA register page. Accepted info, name, SS#, address & Ph# (both USA only), then stated 'applied for', will receive a letter at address in 15-20 days. Received email, changing that to 5-10 days, and will receive, stating may have an authorization code to be entered, as next step. Seems all a bit redundant. Strange they'll deposit SS almost anywhere, but require a USA address & Ph# for online account. Along with sending 1099 anywhere. Did state, any while registering, will NOT change any info SSA already has. Good to know, and I hope true, as my SSA address is here/TH. Same with IRS, and use address here/TH. Only use the USA address for pension & brokerage account, where the pension gets deposited, as only USA account allowed for pension deposit. Kind of strange for an international company/union. NWA, now DL, old union was IAM.

The list from a 'med' news site, linked. Now ... who's lacking ?

My conclusion, and IMHO, AND MY OPINION ONLY, after being enlightened to the genders, and sexual preference, the latter I understood already, it seems, what I knew, and most suspect, there is no such thing as a 'transwoman' or 'transman'. Just something he, she or it, imagined they want to be called. Of course the media/MSM, runs with any divisionary tactic they can think of. As nether is listed a gender.

Didn't watch but from what I'm reading, went as expected. Many now calling for biden to withdraw. What a mess the dems have on their hands, with about 4 months to go. IMHO That is just my opinion, from my readings which I won't bother linking, so they won't need to be. deleted. Just hope there's a big COLA for 2024, for next year's (2025) Soc Sec. If Trump is a repeat, expect less inflation / COLA, and a weaker $$$ against the ฿฿฿, the next 4 years. I hope the dems can nominate someone to beat Trump

At least Planned Parenthood list 'sexual preferences' as something most can understand. And a short list it is. Where is 'pansexual' ? As I identify, keeping all doors open. "What is sexual orientation? Sexual orientation is about who you’re attracted to and want to have relationships with. Sexual orientations include gay, lesbian, straight, bisexual, and asexual." Possibly more, but I didn't read (next) past the first page.

Mods may want to move, as didn't have a clue where to place (joke forum came to mind) but since gender is a topic here, seems a good place. Reading the 72 genders, I'm more confused as ever.

Yea, I couldn't before, wrap my head around the hybrid concept, as a bit redundant, and as you point out, complicates things. For me, defeats the whole purpose of getting away from ICEV. Especially now, the the range of the newer BEV models. They're not missing a beat, and 500 now to 1000 kms in the near future. Back from another long O&A (14 nights) and just took the ZS in for 30k kms check up ... still Lovin' It

I forget exactly what happen, but it wouldn't accept IDme's identity verification. Probably something along the lines of 'unrecognized / log in failed, call Ph# for assistance', which as stated, phoning always failed. I tried a few time, different days/times, incase the system was just having a hissy fit, failed each time. Gave up. Just logged in to IDme, see a link to connect to SSA. Maybe I'll give it a try tomorrow. 🤞🤞

Reading comprehension, already addressed. The illegality of denying it, and believing or supporting the denial, is two different things.
