Official transcript of Zimmermann 911 call: Dispatcher: Sanford Police Department. … Zimmerman: Hey we've had some break-ins in my neighborhood, and there's a real suspicious guy, uh, [near] Retreat View Circle, um, the best address I can give you is 111 Retreat View Circle. This guy looks like he's up to no good, or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about. Dispatcher: OK, and this guy is he white, black, or Hispanic? Zimmerman: He looks black. News reports of Zimmermann 911 call: The call viewers heard was trimmed to suggest that Zimmerman volunteered to police, with no prompting, that Martin was black: "This guy looks like he's up to no good. He looks black."

What LNG supply "emerging" from Alaska? Trump administration is convinced massive Alaska energy project will find investors despite steep cost Alaska LNG has languished on the drawing board for years due its stratospheric price tag. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum say they are confident the project will find investors. Energy analysts, however, are skeptical of the project. Alaska LNG "doesn't have a clear cut commercial logic," Alex Munton, director of global gas and LNG research at Rapidan Energy, told CNBC in April. "If it did, it would have had a lot more support than it has thus far, and this project has been on the planning board for literally decades," Munton said. If they find investors, they can maybe get the project started, and build an 807-mile pipeline through the wilderness. The projected time-frame is the early 2030's to get LNG to the Alaska market, and begin delivery to Asian markets a few years after that. Assuming the current regime isn't replaced by democrats who may cancel the project, or assuming cost overruns don't blow the budget, or assuming environmental impacts don't delay the project. It's more likely California will get their high-speed rail to nowhere running before Trumps latest whackadoodle announcement comes to fruityition.

More Trump Socialism

Not plain vanilla socialism. It's tending towards the nationalist phase. -
Foreigner banking is complicated. I have BKK Bank, went online and registered with PromptPay using old pinkie. That was successful, but since my bank account is not set up with pinkie in the profile, I can't get automatic deposit of tax refund and cannot end withholding of tax on interest. My local branch tells me I can't add pink to existing accounts, nor can I use pink to open a new account. For that reason I opened a KT account solely for tax refunds. Now that (others claim) tax refunds can be deposited into any bank, I can close it. As to going back to "pre Por.161 & Por.162", there's a new hub of all hubs proposal under consideration. If legislation currently allegedly being written is passed, income earned after 31 Dec 2024 can be remitted free of tax in same or following year. Unclear if this will be a rolling 2-year window to remit income tax free. Pre-2024 remitted income will remain tax free, and only 2024 income will be subject to the last ruling, but that would have been taxed under the old rules if remitted in 2024 anyway. It's getting to be as difficult to plan income remittances in Thailand under these ever-changing rules as it is for businesses in the US to plan future purchases and expenditures under TACO tariffs.

Pottery Barn rule: "You broke it, you bought it." Maybe NATO will think twice about regime-changing middle eastern governments, destroying infrastructure and factories, forcing working age men to leave their formerly stable countries in search of employment. Aloha Snackbar!

Nothing to fill out. Take the letter and your passport/pinkID to Krung Thai to redeem. Be sure to read the letter. There is at least one report that it is now possible to take the letter to any bank to cash or deposit into your account. https://fitravelife.com/life/money/receive-tax-refund-for-income-declaration-of-year-2021/

Trump Announces Steel Tariff Hike to 50%

Oh, noooooo! Efficiency is bad. Effective management is bad. Hiring and promotion on merit is bad. They makes a company competitive. We'll go with tariffs instead. -
Trump Announces Steel Tariff Hike to 50%
NoDisplayName replied to Social Media's topic in World News
How is this going to work out? Imported steel is made more expensive, so that domestic steel can maybe be competitive. American business will now have to pay the 50% tax, and US steel won't need to modernize or lower prices. In the meantime, the emperor has decreed: Steep levies on Chinese-made ships arriving at U.S. ports have been proposed, up to as much as $1.5 million, as part of a plan to bring more ship manufacturing back to the U.S., a policy which has bipartisan support. And this will be tacked on top of the import tariffs, both being paid by American consumers. How much arrives on Chinese-built ships? Soon, Chinese-made vessels will represent 98% of the trade ships on the world’s oceans. So...........this will somehow bring steel-making and ship-building back? We're gonna build fleets of ships that cost two to three times what it costs the Chinese? And have nothing to export, and can't afford to import? Appears our (p)resident earned his economics degree at Trump University. -
Thomas Woldbye, chief executive of Heathrow Airport, remained asleep for the first seven hours of a major power outage that paralyzed Europe’s busiest airport because his mobile phone had switched to silent mode without his knowledge. So what? Nothing he could do to help, other than get in the way. Big airport already has a crisis team in place to handle emergencies. They just need to inform the big guy after the fact 'bout what they did.

I was under the impression that it is due to parents over-medicating their children, not necessarily folks already taking some form of blood thinner, as the reason for aspirin sometimes being removed from pharmacy shelves.

Yes, back muscle strengthening exercise helps, but sometimes I do something I shouldn't do. Tramadol works for those rare occasions. It's fine. "The patient says, "Doctor, it hurts when I do this." The doctor says, "Then don't do that!" ― Henny Youngman

I've got a congenital lower back whatchamacallit, and when it occasionally goes out, maybe once every other year, I can barely walk. Lying flat in bed is too painful to sleep. Couple tramadol twice a day for 3-4 days to full recovery. Need to have a supply on hand, no way I can walk into a pharmacy then. What's weird though, can't walk without excruciating pain, but I can jump on a bicycle and ride 100km no problem.

So pop into the hardware store next to the pharmacy and buy some sandpaper. This isn't rocket science!

My local pharmacy carries Tramadil© capsules, 50mg tramadol. No prescription needed.

81mg low-dose pills are super cheap. Just take 6 to get your 500-mg hit.

The wee, tiny paper they hand out listing requirements requests a 2-month bank statement, does not specify type of bank account. Just another example of every office interpreting the rules in their own unique way. Want another? Korat also requires a new TM-30 done on the day of extension. Even if we've done one online and have a screenshot of the confirmation receipt.

Well, if the firstest lady says it, then it must be true. Oh, wait..........
