1,200 people dying a week is not trivial

So if you travel, you can't log in to your account?That's ridiculous. I use a VPN (Windscribe) with Fidelity but I always change the region to Eastern time. Otherwise, I tend to have problems. I also try to log in using the same IP location each time just to be on the safe side. Citibank offers a Global Executive Account that avoids these problems as you can have an overseas address and telephone number. It does cost $25 a month however. Of course, you can also have an overseas address and telephone number with Schwab and Fidelity as long as your account has enough money in it!

Three kids by the age of 22, the first at 15. This girl is not all there.

At least Bangkok Bank customers still have Internet banking, unlike the rest of us

David Gorski does a close analysis of the French hydroxychorloquine study at respectfulinsolence.com. I should note that he is pro-vaccine just to get that out of the way. https://www.respectfulinsolence.com/2024/01/10/did-hydroxychloroquine-hcq-really-kill-17000-covid-19-patients/

Not enough to justify his inclusion in the headline. If you were taking your medical advice from Trump, you have much bigger problems than whether hydroxycholoquine works against Covid. The media's obsession with Trump only further fuels his popularity among his base.

Deliberately linking that to Trump seems more than a little malicious. A lot of people recommended hydroxycholorquine.

I got it on TGX, it was a fast download. Great show.

I second the motion for the tourist. First season is set in the Australian outback, stars James Dornan. A man has his car run into by a truck and wakes up in a hospital with total amnesia. Now he has to find out who he is and what he's done. Lots of twists and turns and good performances all around. I got on TPB.

Thai Visa in Bangkok or Maneerat in Pattaya.

Because then you might write things that actually make sense instead of trying to trash talk people you don't know

Maybe you should have devoted more time to studying English

Thai Visa is a reputable visa agency. I have used it in the past and so have other members of this forum, I believe. He doesn't have to go all the way to Bangkok, the procedures can be handled through EMS. As another poster pointed out, the main problem is that the stamp will not be from the immigration office where he is living. Instead, it will come from a provincial office (Thai Visa can inform him which one). It might also be possible for the OP to find an agent in Pattaya at a lower price. In that case, the stamp will come from Jomtien immigration.

Amazing. Approx 30 posts and no one answered the op's question. O

Yeah, the don't want to give away all their secrets

There are currently smart watches on the market that purport to monitor blood glucose (such as K watch), though their accuracy has been questioned. Apple is working on its own CMB but it will probably be a while before it comes to market. Dexcom makes a glucose monitor that attaches to the arm with micropines, so it doesn't require constant pricing of the finger. It can also transmit the results to some smartphones.

Apparentlty, this is a new trend and there are even "glucose consultants" to interpret the results. My friend, for instance, who is non-diabetic, feels there is value in seeing what affect different foods have on his glucose levels so he can tweak his diet to avoid unhealthy spikes. CNBC has a news story about the the rise of this market: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYy1zEHvXZ4 Here's a Twitter thread that discusses the pros and cons https://twitter.com/BradStanfieldMD/status/1706000812097642776

No, he has private insurance. They told him he didn't need it because he wasn't diabetic

CGM generally isn't recommended by doctors unless there is a specific need. I know my friend in Paris wanted to a glucose monitor but couldn't find a doctor willing to prescribe it.

I guess the price of pork is going up. Big C is going to have to find a new supplier.

They're trying to figure out how to charge Thais 20 baht and foreigners 100

For a long time, I wore my glasses when using my laptop but I stopped about a year and a half ago. My eyesight has actually improved since then ( don't need reading glasses). In addition to all of the usual steps (hourly breaks, every once in a while look into the distance and then look back, eye exercises, etc), what I have found to be most helpful is deep breathing. You breathe into the eyes and then exhale (basically the Wim Hof method with a focus on your eyes). A lot of eye conditions are caused by dryness and lack of oxygen, particularly if you're old. As a bonus, I haven't had any eye floaters either since I started doing it religiously (30 minutes power breathing every morning).

Apparently, this post caused some confusion. What I meant was by making onerous demands, the IO is pushing the applicant in the direction of an agent. When the agent applies for you, suddenly all that documentation becomes superfluous for some reason.

So what agency was it? They leave out the most important information

Basically, they're telling you to use an agent. No lease, TM30 or proof of funds needed. You can even got to an agent in Pattaya and they'll sort it out for you. Or use Thai Visa in Bangkok. They'll send someone to your room to pick up your passport.
