More bloviating from Trump, so perhaps the newswriters reused text from last time? Trump: UK-US trade deal could be 'big and exciting' Donald Trump has said he is working on a "major trade deal" with the UK. The US President tweeted that a bilateral trade agreement with the UK after it leaves the EU in 2019 could be "very big and exciting" for jobs. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-40716317 25 July 2017

So basically just a PR exercise in order to claim a "win." Tell me again why Trump imposed tariffs on UK imports? U.S. total goods trade with the United Kingdom were an estimated $148.0 billion in 2024. U.S. goods exports to the United Kingdom in 2024 were $79.9 billion, up 7.6 percent ($5.6 billion) from 2023. U.S. goods imports from the United Kingdom totaled $68.1 billion in 2024, up 6.0 percent ($3.9 billion) from 2023. The U.S. goods trade surplus with the United Kingdom was $11.9 billion in 2024, a 17.4 percent increase ($1.8 billion) over 2023. https://ustr.gov/countries-regions/europe-middle-east/europe/united-kingdom The US trade SURPLUS with UK increased 17% under Biden in '24, which in most realities, would be called..........."winning." With tariffs and a fake "deal" unlikely to continue thus.

Crime Russian Tourist Busted for Smuggling Hashish into Thailand
NoDisplayName replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
The cunning plan worked. He successfully smuggled the hashish through customs. When questioned by a reporter about the method used to smuggle the drugs in, the detective responded "Alimentary, my dear Watson." -
Correctamundo. Mostly. In another form of drive system, the turbine turns an electrical generator, and the electric power produced is fed to one or more drive motors for the vessel's propellers. The Russian, U.S. and British navies rely on direct steam turbine propulsion, while French and Chinese ships use the turbine to generate electricity for propulsion (turbo-electric transmission). So the Chinese DON'T steal all our technorogy. All our leduction gealboxs no berong them.

They don't need 'em. They gots a nukular reactor to produce their electricity, not produced by NIMBY coal furnaces. As to the advanced electric boat, "Hull 096 features a massive energy storage system with over 275 tons of batteries." 275 tons of lithium batteries? On a leaky boat? That will end well.

That appears to be outdated. I did find Vietnam on the list, "Last Revised: Sep. 10, 2007" As of June 2023, there are the 10 countries where the United States won’t send your Social Security payments: Azerbaijan Belarus Cuba Kazakhstan Kyrgyzstan Moldova North Korea Tajikistan Turkmenistan Uzbekistan -

Payments Outside the United States As a United States citizen, you may receive your Social Security payments outside the United States in this country as long as you are eligible for them. https://www.ssa.gov/international/payments_outsideUS_page10.html -
But for those that DID want Joe Biden to have so much power DESPITE his mental decline, be honest, why is it rational to want Donald J. Trump to NOT have that power? He's just at the beginning of a four year term so his mental state is going to be getting a lot worse and it will never get better, same as Joe. Why is it different now?

Cheapest Car Insurance for an old beater Honda?
NoDisplayName replied to ThaiNoobie101's topic in Insurance in Thailand
The local inspection shop can handle everything for you. We take our 13-yo Hilux for inspection, then hand over the blue book (or copy), and leave for lunch. We return a few hours later, pay around 2000 baht to cover a year of basic insurance and the annual road tax. Insurance is done in the office, they send a worker off to the government compound to pay the tax.
