UK Murder Motivated by Gaza Conflict Results in Life Sentence for Moroccan Asylum-Seeker
As a proud Brit (presumably) staying in Thailand sounding forth about immigrants legal or illegal is quite interesting Sam.

Justice Department investigating door plug blowout on Alaska Airlines flight, report says
Investigations and eventual apportioning of culpability is and never was exactly reassuring to the families of victims or for potential future passengers ! At least not when after the Max 8 disasters should have resulted in total diligence across the spectrum of aircraft production. It seems blame shifting and corporate legal diversions continue to obscure the original motivation of cost saving for maximized profit. Is Human life now considered so excessive in number it can be dismissed so easily ?

Israel is at War - General discussion (pt3)
It seems that Gantz is introducing some rationality in the face of Netanyahu's apparent single minded dedication to render Israel a middle eastern political orphan.

Heart-failure patients had 82% better odds of living longer if vaccinated against COVID
"Relative to one or no vaccination, COVID-19 vaccination was tied to an 82% lower risk of death from any cause"... A magic bullet now? "a 13% reduced risk of infection over 6 months." ? Covid infection risk? "More than 64 million global heart-failure patients". An impressive statistic but without directed reference to any other information. Excuse me for not interpreting the intent of the presented article in any positive way.

Walk with a Weighted Vest to Lose Weight
I wear my weighted vest a little lower than chest height. I wear it everywhere. I wear when I sleep. When I wake. When I walk. Even when I talk. I wear it while my grand daughter pokes it and laughs. Did Doctor Seuss cover this topic?

Which Durian do you prefer? Pick your favourite
Over the years spent in South East Asia I have often tasted Durian. I have no problem with the taste or texture while actually eating but have problems coping with the vomitous after taste and smell. Or should I say originally. I was not aware there were so many "varieties" as illustrated above but there is one "hybrid" that has eliminated a large percentage of the smell and after taste I dislike. Problem is I have no idea now of which one it is. Having originally taste tested in Indonesia where Thai durian is considered primo compared to local product it took me a while to try fresh durian once ensconced in Thailand. Still not my first choice of something nature intended to be left to rot in order to nurture it's seed ! Fully ripened pineapple wins for me.

Thailand Unveils 10-Year Visa to Attract Top Global Talent
You are not wrong. Little or nothing of above declarations of implementation of "intent" will materialize. In terms of industrial upgrades or development there will be a concentration of adopted ai intelligence applied to any or all mechanized production which may/will require short term experienced technicians importing acquired skills . Tripling farmers incomes? There is a dream stae claim. Agricultural products from Thailand already compete with same from other sources that have economies secondary to Thailand. Any deserving increase at all for the agricultural community would destroy all types of exports . Not that the agricultural export economy could not reward farmer's output better but because the protection racket involved in export of product will never relinguish profiteered gains ! If there are those who can not realize the capacity of such gains need only contemplate the gravity of Yingluck's avoidance of issues with the "rice Scheme".

Perhaps a sop to counter those who argue Thai rules on the presence of non tourists are basically xenophobic?

Advice needed : super sight surgery
I would suggest checking out Rutnin Eye Hospital. It is basically the single most eyesight focused hospital in Thailand and more. Cataracts and Lasik comparatives?

Beloved Brit found dead in Thailand hotel room
Whatever the cause I empathize with the apparent shock his family is experiencing. Yet more so for the tragic death of an unsupervised toddler crossing a soi.

Beloved Brit found dead in Thailand hotel room
If it was his express wish to be buried in Wales then why not have travel insurance that provides repatriation of his corpse? As to cause of death it amazes me that so many consider an age bracket as some sort of measure of invulnerability from cardiac issues or sudden onset of pulmonary infection involving a type of pneumonia ?

Just what is life like in Rural Thailand- ever wondered ?
Can only agree about the music. But over the last 15 years it has decreased in terms of frequency and duration IMO. I put it down to a combination of decreasing tolerance and decreasing age group that enjoys it....related in an ironic sense.

90 day report procedure Pattaya Immigration
Since first using the online option for my 90 day report I have never had a failure/rejection. On at least one occasion involving annual extension approval a congenial Imm. Officer has reset my 90 day report date as from same date. In theory that would presume 90day reports would almost coincide with next annual extension date. Unfortunately that has never happened. I have diligently relied on the emailed reminder of upcoming 90 day compliance and dutifully completed the process some days later but always prior to last official expiry date. Despite success the next date for compliance has never demonstrated correlation to either date of online application OR original expiry date. I have concluded that although the 90 day report is a generic online application it is assigned by Passport number to appropriate Immigration Office. It is processed by way of manual assessment at each Provincial Office and approval also responded to by manual input the generic app. Variations in dates nominated in the event of success and consecutive next compliance date are the result of personal decisions about what date to nominate at time of input. I have seen some mention receiving approvals within minutes or hours. I have never received in less than 4 days or more. Has anyone experienced the result of an online application made in the 7 day time period tolerated for in person applications?

More likely insufficient course or minimally effective antibiotics that subdues an infection rather than eliminating. Rebound infection then harder to treat.

Embattled Move Forward Party Given another Lifeline by Constitutional Court
Interesting room for speculation in this extension. Perhaps "someone" is waiting for recognition of an opportunity ? "When possible at least keep your enemy beside you because if they are walking behind you then attack may come unseen".

Gone totally deaf in my ‘good’ ear…….?
It quite often works ! Unfortunately does not provide an answer to cause but never mind until next time.

Gone totally deaf in my ‘good’ ear…….?
Air travel or rapid changes in geographical road travel ? Couple that with possible sinus irritation due to a mild infection or simple allergenic reaction ? Man flu is real btw. But doubtful if symptoms do not/have not yet elicited smothering levels of pampering which would negate any motivation to attempt to solicit any sympathetic comment from the hard nosed AN kommunity then a visit to your nearest ENT Clinic could be a start?

Wise fees are going up again.
Wise fees recently been reduced about 6% for transfers from my sources. Unannounced . For my typical transfer amounts that I enact that puts them at about 20% of Bank2Bank fees on same day versus 3 day.

Michael Cohen Takes Center Stage in Trump's Hush Money Trial
No. It was/is about a combination of illegal book keeping entries to disguise paying off a woman to both : hide information potentially prejudicing voters and illegally enter such payments as campaign expenses doubled in amount to offset the taxable impact to the agent in the deception plus recording said payment as deductible outgoings. The where is known. It is the how and why that is the focus of attention. If there are Maga maniacs who think that they are immune to IRS conditions of audit they dream !

Is Trump Really An Orange T*rd?
"admitted" charges "appear to be" ? A very personalized comment with no more validity than any other global person . Dredging up a million similar "opinions" will/can not create any greater validity. The fact that there exists a determined effort to subject Trump to legal options can be better considered to demonstrate that ,under the law, nobody can consider themselves to be above said law. Is Trump a T*rd? IMHO global opinion would agree. At basic human level and political level. Motivation is motivation.

Smell of a Woman: What does yours smell like, most days?
Quite funny is that in a warped sense that the OP triggered derision and revelations of like minded obsessive consideration over topic. Very suspicious of any valid claims of persona and the dependency on AI generated content either in whole or in part.

Poll: Do you feel sympathetic to Putin? Did he really have no choice?
In the interest in opinion I wold say the majority of Russians would accurately say that Russia did not blow up it's own pipeline. The origanla era of West vs Soviet propaganda dies with the demise of the Soviet regime. The Soviets did not require propaganda. The threat of repercussions in non compliance negated "propaganda". It was the West that felt the need to advertise the imminent "reds under the beds" rhetoric . The inherent differentiation has persisted for reason not so far removed .
