Wow, I never heard of it -- it's only list now

With Christmas looming, I decided to watch again my favorite Christmas movie: Die Hard 2. Does anybody have any recommendations for other Christmas movies woth watching? (Not It's a Beautiful Life, please)

Looks good

Citibank ATMs didn't charge the fee if you have a Citibank card and a preferred account. No ATM fee, no transaction fee

you can activate office for free (later versions as well). https://massgrave.dev/

The woman has shown the kind of initiative that we expect from our government officials.

A bunch of Thaksin gibberish as usual. Interesting that both Thailand and the US have leaders with no official office.

Yes, I do. Look at all the billionaires in Trump's cabinet. He's in awe of them, always has been. A momma's boy with an inferiority complex that he tries to hide with a lot of bluster.

Elon bought himself a president for $277 million. Nobody voted for him. Twitter is a propaganda machine, which cost him $40 million but ended up proving invaluable during the election. Why is he accumulating all this power? What is his agenda exactly?

As you can see, Musk is now dictating terms to the US Congress: No bills should be passed Congress until Jan. 20, when @realdonaldtrump takes office. None. Zero. https://x.c om/elonmusk/status/1869461048828522999

He promised to have fully autonomous cars by 2017. How's that working out? Not much point in going to Mars until you've worked out how to build a self-sustaining colony there. Even then, the rest of the planet will remain inhospitable. A colony on the moon first would seem like a better idea.

A ruthless if dishonest businessman, megalomaniac, narcissist, white supremacist, immoral, chronic liar, somewhere on the autistic spectrum, lacking in empathy, sympathy, poor understanding of social relations and politics. He's completely untrustworthy in my opinion, and I certainly don't want him running the country. Seth Abramson is writing a biography of him. He has loads of material about Elon on his substack (some of is free, enough to get the gist, the rest behind a paywall). Musk comes across as the kind of evil genius you see in James Bond movies but hope you'll never encounter in real life. https://sethabramson.substack.com/p/the-truth-about-musk-from-his-biographer

Trump's Cabinet includes 8 billionaires (including Elon, the richest man in the world) and 5 multi-millionaires (some of whom will, I am sure, be billionaires within the next four years). RFK Jr is the poor man on the totem pole. His grifting has only earned him $15 million (and a trophy wife in Cheryl Hines), although I'm sure he intends to rectify that. Draining the swamp indeed.

You're right -- I should have said his first Western. "Misty" was a good movie, though. Another good non-Western was, I thought, "Tightrope" although it doesn't get talked about much.

Yeah, but nobody wants to live like that.

I'd say it's time for you to take your meds.

The first movie he directed, I believe

Unforgiven is a movie I keep going back to, especially the last scene. A lot of great dialogue

Troll

I wouldn't call myself far left but I agree with you. This guy should be shut out of anything to do with government.

That's my whole point. First, I've never had an automatic conversion when using a debit card. Always, I've been asked if I went to use dynamic conversion. Second, I've never had a withdrawal canceled because I refused the conversion rate. But both of these things happened with the SCB ATM at Central Chidlom. At K Bank, I couild make the withdrawal as usual, but, still, the conversion was made automatically and I had to reject it. I think a lot of people won't understand what the conversion is or why they're seeing it and they'll just click on the buttom to proceed with the transaction. I did ask if some change had been made but the staff I spoke with didn't know.

It was a Fidelity debit card. The 5.5 percent conversion fee was on top of the ATM fee. I've used this ATM before without any problem so this is something new.

His point was the law hasn't changed yet. All that's happened is there was an internal memo about assessment changes but no indication of any implementation.

Weekend in Taipei, great movie, has everything, action, romance, car chases, kung fu, and filmed on location in Taipei (a little bit of it anyway). Luke Evans is okay but Gwei Lun Mei really shines.
