  1. I'm shocked! Who knew mental disorders could lead to .............."disturbances."
  2. Not sure a new TM-30 will solve this. Immigration (usually) wants you to attend the office for an in-person 90-day report before you can resume online reports.
  3. Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon
  4. You've got 3 million. Put 1 million in a fixed account for your immigration extensions. In your name only, but I've read you can have your wife sign on the blacklight-visable only signature strip in the passbook, meaning she should be able to take the money out when extensions are no longer required. The other 2 million you can put into bond ETF's. That converts to about US$55K. 7% will give you about $320/month interest, or about 11,500 baht/month spending money without touching the balance.
  5. Moody waitress. Poorly cooked food. Bad service. What are you complaining about, man? You WANTED an English breakfast.
  6. False dichotomy. You don't have to choose between miserly and spendthrift. Meet in the middle. You're 76 with 3 million in the bank. Assume you'll make it to 90. Set aside 1 million in a special account to remain untouched until that day. Take the 2 million and spend down over 14 years. That would give you around 12,000 baht/month to spend on "extravagances" for you and your wife (not factoring in dividends and interest on the balance).
  7. Not quite........see linked article: Unresolved is whether the Benz had the green, with the motorcyclist blowing through a red light. Note that the two silver cars in the U-turn are already turning as though they have the green, not stopped behind the white stop stripe.
  8. That's how it's done. Wise is using their CFSB/Evolve accounts to collect USD from your US bank. Then they use their Kasikorn/BKK Bank accounts to send bath to your Thailand account. Try this............check the routing number that is associated with your Wise account. Mr. Googles can tell you which bank it corresponds to, and which bank your credit union account is linked to.
  9. In that case, I don't understand what you meant by: You yourself are using two accounts.............NFCU and CFSB (or Evolve), to move your money to Wise.
  10. Actually..........i use two ACH transfers to get to Wise. ACH from my brokerage cash sub-account to my Navy Federal checking. ACH from Navy to the Wise account at Community Federal. Navy account is a separator. In case Wise gets hacked, the baddies only get my $0 balance Navy checking account info.
  11. Set up the new account with Navy Federal to Wise thru Community Federal. No trial deposits needed, just an email confirmation. Just sent a $250 test. Is good.
  12. Wait, what? The cops swiftly arrived, and found the alleged murder weapon next to the alleged murderer. The alleged murderer was apprehended an hour later? That doesn't make se........... Never mind.
  13. Usually...............for fixed accounts, if you withdraw all of the balance before the end of the term, you lose all of the pending accrued interest. If you withdraw part of the balance, you lose part of the interest.
  14. Why would he be riding on the oil drip center of the asphalt instead of the 1/3 nearest the yellow lines...........where he'd have a better view and wouldn't entice idiot drivers to try to pass? Anyhoo, he appears to be closer to the white line than to the center.
  15. Why is this big biker in the video riding his BMW like a 90cc miniscooter, on the outside edge white stripe, along the inside of a blind curve?
  16. Why are video games so often blamed? It's the new morality. Nothing is ever, ever your fault. Somebody or something external cause it, made you do it. It was society. It was WHite suppemacismists. It was capitalism. It was colonialism. It's not their fault, they're blameless. Dey dindunuffin.
  17. You don't understand. Solid lines are for OTHER people. I'm special.
  18. Maybe it's your bank. I've had no problems sending dollars to Wise using the Evolve account. I set up the new link with my credit union. They sent a confirmation code to activate the CFSB account, no trial deposits, at least not yet. I'll do a $1 test transfer to confirm.
  19. I've got Firefox with AdBlock and YesScript. No ads or popups on Youtube. Last week started getting a popup warning "Ad blockers are not allowed" about five seconds into my first video. Hit the "X" to close, restart the video. "No ad blockers" popup does not reappear no matter how many videos I watch after that.
  20. Could also try Lumpini Park. Pedal the swan paddle boats, chase the giant water monitors.
  21. Might be important if anyone has automatic transfers set up for their 65K/monthly transfers.
  22. Ride the canal boats. Jump on and off, visiting sights along the canals. Is the Batcat museum/toystore at LamSali (Bangkapi Mall) still open?
  23. Only at the border. And only about $5.
  24. Have you considered a nice, long walk? Take the train to Aranyaprathet. Walk to Siem Reap, across to Stung Treng, then north to Pakse, and then over to Ubon Ratchitani. There's the 750km walkabout you've always wanted to experience.
  25. Received an email from Wise telling me the USD account details will change as of October 31. Logged onto Wise, noted the new routing number, account number and address. Set up a link from my credit union to send money to wise using the information provided. The link for Wise previously was Evolve Bank and Trust. The new link is with Community Federal Savings Bank. The SWIFT code is unchanged. Here's an interesting tidbit from the memory hole (2 years ago on reddit): and from yahoo in 2016:
