  1. You can determine the source in comingled accounts using first in first out.
  2. Not a landslide. Not even close to a landslide. To say it was a landslide is a lie.
  3. In these movies which obviously made an impression on me the native Americans (usually played my white actors in red face or sometimes Chinese people) were pictured dancing around making rhythmic pow wow noises, doing the previously described hand gesture, and yes, DANCING rather wildly about the place perhaps in circles. Likely also sometimes including drumming and other chanting noises. On the night in question, I did omit the possibly important dancing part. These movies weren't saying that such scenes literally meant native Americans, but rather there was that stereotypical association established with their pop cultural depiction. At least this is how I remember it. I did do a lot of drugs in my hippie phase. That was well before my turquoise bolo tie phase.
  4. Again I knew and know what pow wow means. Not confused about that at all. You seem to lack reading comprehension though.
  5. It's an obviously offensive very dated pop culture way to refer to Native Americans (who we just called Indians back then) that I picked up in my youth. So it was dumb. As posted before I am well aware of what a pow wow is. I wasn't trying to be accurate about what a pow wow actually is with the gesture. I was trying to communicate obviously without any thought about it. I wouldn't have done it in front of you. You're fluent in English. It was the first (and last) time I've ever done it to anyone. When I said I picked it up from pop culture, I don't mean that I did it myself back then. But I saw others doing it in old movies more than anything and the meaning was clearly to refer to Native Americans in a silly stereotypical way. Considering the consensus that the Thai guy didn't get my meaning, it must have been super hilarious for him to see that. Farang baa! No harm, no foul, he got a chuckle.
  6. I'm waiting for the results of the Thailand Pow Wow Indians with hand to mouth gesture challenge.
  7. Right. No need to file with the pre 2024 savings remitted any time. Maybe need to file with later income or savings If Remitted and Accessable as per DTA and Over the threshold 60k baht single filers
  8. Yes. Oops. Thanks for the correction. Maybe better to say the balance on December 31, 2023.
  9. You must think people are idiots. The screening of career federal employees as to whether they voted for Trump or not and checking for any disloyal to dear fascist leader on social media, etc. has already begun and he isn't even in office yet.
  10. DTAs relevant to Thailand are tax treaties between Thailand and other countries. The intention is usually to avoid double taxation but having a DTA does not mean you automatically aren't taxed in Thailand. That depends on the specific source of income and what the DTA says about that type of source. Some countries have no DTA with Thailand. Your existing 800k baht account in Thailand not relevant except for top ups later. Money in a bank account abroad that you can prove existed before Jan 1 2023, is tax free in Thailand anytime in the future if remitted and isn't reported on Thai tax forms.
  11. In my case I was talking about how everyone in America is from somewhere else (immigration). But there is that exception if you don't count Siberia. POW WOW.
  12. Every president gets a portion of political appointments. I'm obviously talking about CAREER non political people. Trump (see Project 2025) intends to fire as many non-loyal to Trump regular employees as he can get away with. Many of course will just quit or early retire in disgust. Truly fascist stuff.
  13. About pizza. If to be delivered, you want it to be as nearby as possible. I think Al Fiore is a place worth travelling far to get to. However, I reckon there are other places in town doing a similar Neopolitan style that are also good, but would never order a pizza delivery from very far. Some types of food travel OK from afar even if you need to microwave a bit. But not pizza or fried food.
  14. Stop lying. Talking about career non political employees. What Trump is doing to them is what fascist dictators do.
  15. It moved inside because it's too cold and windy. Nobody to blame on that one.
  16. You're living in the Trumpist post truth world.
  17. Only if accessable AND remitted (as per your DTA). Otherwise of no interest to Thai revenue.
  18. He's horrible in every way imaginable.
  19. Indoors this time. I'm sure the indoor venue will be packed.
