Renewal blues 2
I did my annual visa extension based on retirement last month here in Pattaya/Jomtien. I've been doing extensions for over 15 years and this was the 1st year the IO asked me "Where does this money come from? Social security? Pension?", I said pension, they asked for a letter which I didn't have at the time, I went home, printed it out and came back later, thankfully I start my renewal 2-3 weeks early for just such instances.

USA SSA 1099-R replcament, on-line verification issues.
Many months ago when setting up my ID.me account, I had to call them on my smart phone, turn on my camera and show them, IIRC, 2 forms of ID; my passport and my Arizona driver's license. Now i can log onto id.me using a 2 step authenticator, works fine for me.

Why many Thai girls go with tomboys? Your opinion
Why not ask your DIL? All you'll get here are guesses, she'll give you the "straight" (no pun intended) answer.

Where to get custom length cat5/cat6 cables made
Tuk Com would be the first obvious place to look, after that, pretty easy to find on Lazada, 95b + delivery; https://www.lazada.co.th/products/3m50m-cat-6-gigabit-1000m-utp-cable-i4823597256-s20057497648.html?from_gmc=1&exlaz=d_1:mm_150050845_51350205_2010350205::12:20968287807!!!!!c!!20057497648!763454268&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAivGuBhBEEiwAWiFmYeEHnkmpg4EPKRaGgh-LFPMVaeYraELo91js-J-66gh49jwPqpXrpxoCbkUQAvD_BwE Back when I was big into computers/network, I used to cut and crimp my own, easy to do after watching a few youtube videos.

Plastic Bathtub Cracked
This video is about a cracked fiberglass tub, but the 1st half of the video looks like it could work on a plastic tub then seal using plastic weld.

No charging option in condo - Need advice
OP are there condos in your area that have charging stations on their property? If yes, ask them how they went about installing it, fees, customer satisfaction, etc. Or ask if you can buy and install your own personal charger, maybe you can ask the companies that install chargers if they know of ways to get the condo to get one. https://www.evmall.co.th/

Bio Measures for House Waste Tanks
Sometimes we use the powder shown in the OP a few weeks apart, it helps keep the smell down and the need for suctioning many months apart. Also, our washing machine is outside and drains into the garden and not into the septic tanks.

Education/schooling for 15 year old
My son switched from Swang Boriboon at the end of his M3, we felt he needed a change after attending the same school for many years. Plus too many little elementary school kids there, we wanted him in a "proper' high school.

American expat escapes Thai jail time for scathing hotel review
This is a 3-4 year old story, why is it being re-hashed now? Wesley Gene Barnes, the American who waged a deliberate, ongoing and malicious online smear campaign using Tripadvisor reviews against a Thai hotel, with a previously impeccable reputation and which is one of the most important employers on the island of Ko Chang in Trat province, for three months from the end of June to the end of September this year has been unmasked as a dangerous, delusional and violent man. He is also a convicted criminal who spent nearly four years in prison in the US state of Missouri.

Pattaya minivan visa run to Cambodia, recommendations?
Lots of visa run shops on Soi Buakow, charging a lot less than 1stclassvisa. Many Soi buakow shops will be glad just to provide transportation, stop in and ask their price.

Hand-drawn map?!?!
If I type my Thai address into Google maps, I get nothing. The way home's are labeled here are not like in the West. Just open Google maps, find your home and copy/draw the major intersections nearest your home and the additional directions to your home. It's not rocket science.

Donald Trump's New York fraud trial wraps up, with millions of dollars on the line
Seems his mag-hat followers better start sending their billionaire messiah more of their money. And defending the man that had the most White House associates sent to prison ever, the man with over 30,000 fact checked lies, the man that's been sued over 3000 times, the only US POTUS ever impeached twice, the only POTUS to be implicated with an insurrection.

1 dead and multiple injured in shooting following Chiefs Super Bowl parade
So I went to the website you provided and searched "Number of active shooter incidents in the United States from 2000 to 2022" Do you want to take a guess which way that graph took a sharp turn?

1 dead and multiple injured in shooting following Chiefs Super Bowl parade
To the NRA's delight, the USA is past the point of no return. It's so bad now everyday folks need to have guns cause the bad guys have guns, and bad guys will continue to break into homes and steal valuables (guns too), putting more guns on the street so more law-abiding citizens will need guns. It's a never ending cycle. I'm from the USA, born & raised, but I feel 100% safer walking the streets of Thailand late at night than I would in any large city in the US.
