Fox Poll Has President Biden Taking a Slight Lead Over Trump
Not much “News” here… Fox is not in the business of news… It’s in the business of stroking its viewers for money….

Uncle Sam wants to see me at the bank?
Note: Wise can be set up as your US Bank for transfers… If you have a US Wise account with a US Dollar account this is the same as a regular US based saving account. You can get you Wise routing number and account number from your app (Proof of Account Details) You can give these to the Social Security as your transfer bank. Right now Wise is giving 4.85% interest on fund deposits…

BKK Bank Anti American
I would guess the limiting the App to only be used on a phone with the registered sim the bank has on file is a great security device to protect you from having your bank account hacked by slammers... Btw... You can use the website and login to access your account in addition to having the app on your cellphone...

People like this are probably a major reason the US Social Security Dept put stringent rule on direct transfer of SS benefits to foreign banks...

BKK Bank Anti American
Been with BK Bank for 15+ years… They are wonderful!… I have their app and it works great… Don’t know how I lived without scan to pay?… They have wonderful call in support in English if you can’t get a local branch to understand you… It should be understood that the US Government has placed restrictions on ALL foreign banks… Placing reporting and funds transfer limits and notification for its citizens… So if you want to blame anyone, blame 9-11 and the knee jerk reaction of Congress in it’s aftermath…

Thailand will go further than legalising same-sex marriage – PM
Again more armchair drivel… Gay marriage has been the law of the land in other countries for decades and this prejudiced trope has not occurred! What has happened is millions of gay couples have formed wonderful families and become some of the best soccer moms and dads one could only dream of having…

Smart switch wiring
That may not be easier… I have a similar triple switch for my living room… Each switch controls a bank of 5 pot lights… So replacing the switch would be easier than replacing and programming 15 lightbulbs… Also the switches have to always be in the on position so they are useless… Then I have to train my Thai partner to NOT use the switches and instruct him on the use of an app instead… 😀

Smart switch wiring
My guess is that the two blacks and the brown run power to the respective receptacles… the whites are all the same providing load current… there are probably two whites coming in because one is the load wire and the second is daisy chained to provide load to the next adjacent switch on the wall… Put the two blacks and brown on the L1 L2 & L3… The two whites put together and put in L DISCLOSURE I am not a electrician but played one in a previous life where I forgot to wear my flip flops to work…

5G - Pocket Mobile router
Your main speed limitations will be from the unlimited sim you buy ( look closely at the mbps and also check the fine print as to what “unlimited” means many say unlimited but cut speeds down after a certain MB of use… Also the speed could be limited by your location and network traffic…

5G - Pocket Mobile router
Curios?… What monthly plan do you have?… Do you need to buy a specific plan with this router or can you buy a separate AIS one year prepaid sim on say Lazada and use it in this router?…
