Just book him for traffic violations!

Does he have a visa? Did he file his TM30?

A good summary of the evidence

Next time I would buy multiple ones, or at least a bigger one, but I'm not sure how well they actually work. Our house isn't sealed very well.

Buy a little more than you need. You can always give away extra units or store them.

Sealing the house is a double-edged sword. A perfect seal could lead to carbon dioxide intoxication, so you might want to leak a bit.

The Xiaomi units are nice because replacement filters are easy to get.

Don't cheap out. Buy as many units as you think you need, and maybe a couple of units more.

They don't use much electricity. Noise is the only problem.

That's not even a link - let alone any evidence.

💯

The popular hypotheses out there are just noise for now.

Care to give a link to support the self-throttling claim ?

That popular hypothesis is based on the process of elimination. The interim report will be very interesting because all the recoverable data are in.

Calculation of the funds is from the date of application,

Appreciate the clear replies. Is there any official regulation or guideline to refer to for this point?

For funds in the bank method the rules are very clear. 

800k two months prior to application + three months after application and not below 400k in other months.

As an example:

Non-O retirement expires 30 June. Application for extension on 15 June, with extension granted on the same day.

Does the calculation of the months hinge on 15 June, or 30 June?

400k after the first 3 months on your 12 month permission to stay

800k 2 months before applying and 3 months after permission granted, then you can drop to 400k

This is the part I never understood.

Does the "2 months before, 3 month after" hinge on the day extension was granted, or the day the non-O visa would have expired?

I was asked this before so my general advice was to have the money at least 3 months before, 3 months after.

I am glad that she is convicted. The circumstantial evidence was very strong. What she did was very evil.

Sounds like the hotels are frustrated because of how strict the approval process is.

Guess that shows how much the government wants to curb abuses?

The deceased may have been a local and not obviously a tourist.

I sympathize. I think both far left and far right (just reductive labels I know) tend to go overboard.

But without any studies who knows.

The medical issues have been discussed elsewhere. When they amended the rules, FINA took cognizance of expert medical opinion. 

It is a little disingenuous to claim "who knows" when you say this

The bone structure and cellular "muscle memory" (satellite cells, motor units, vascular perfusion etc) remain.

Ping River was widened and dredged up in places.

Floods just occurred in China. Fingers crossed for Thailand.

“The biggest misconception, I think, is the reason I transitioned,” she told ABC and ESPN in 2022. “People will say, ‘Oh, she just transitioned so she would have an advantage, so she could win.’ I transitioned to be happy, to be true to myself.”

I don't believe her.

From https://www.si.com/college/2022/03/03/lia-thomas-penn-swimmer-transgender-woman-daily-cover:

“I just want to show trans kids and younger trans athletes that they’re not alone,” she says at the coffeehouse. “They don’t have to choose between who they are and the sport they love.”

“I don’t know exactly what the future of my swimming will look like after this year, but I would love to continue doing it,” Thomas says. “I want to swim and compete as who I am.”
