  1. No it doesn't at all. It proves ONE member of the Biden family is a convicted felon.
  2. Agreed. Not running for president though.
  3. It's just as good in other U.S. cities with large Vietnamese populations.
  4. THAI Pho? What the Pho?!? In Thailand, I've only had Pho is Vietnamese restaurants in Pattaya. One place that unfortunately closed was pretty OK as the owner was bringing in ingredients from regular trips to Vietnam. But overall pretty crap compared to what's available in the U.S. with is usually Saigon or Central style. I only had it once in Vietnam in Hanoi. It was good.
  5. Still has the incredibly bad seasonal smoke problem although this year so had Pattaya!
  6. Another youtube list. Most of these places have been mentioned here. But I think Springfield MO is new. Wonder why he mentioned Sprinfield over Columbia MO.
  7. It's not getting any easier either.
  8. More detail about the very real dangers of Project 25 if Trump comes back to power. I do understand that many gays and lesbians do not care so much about gender identity issues and may not be thrilled about being put into a big bucket of LGBTQ. Well that's an entirely different topic, but if you take the time to read this carefully you will see that "regular" gays and lesbians are very much under threat of the Maga revolution as well. On LGBTQ civil rights, Russia went way backwards, China went backwards, and Trump will mean that the U.S. will be going way backwards as well.

  9. Based on your OP, you live in Thailand. I'm assuming you use an address in Virginia but don't actually live there. Many expats do that. If that's the case, I doubt DMV would agree you're a resident there though. It can be hard to be an expat sometimes doing U.S. stuff. Good luck.
  10. Why can't you just use your passport? Generally states are going to require that you sign a form stating you are a resident of that state. Isn't signing such a statement a crime if you are not?
  11. I seriously doubt that it would be. I just started this as a discussion topic for entertainment purposes in response to the youtube video that I mentioned. But I can say I think a lot depends on where you live in Thailand. I live in an area where tourism is completely dominant and most Thais are not local but move here for the tourism economy. So obviously the level.of corruption and seeing foreigners as walking ATMs would be particularly high in such places. That might be similarly true in similar tourism meccas Internationally but I think in Thailand even more so for cultural reasons.
  12. Yeah Marcos is pretty good and so is Oreganos at Jomtien Rompho Market.
  13. An Andalusian Bitch Una perra andaluza Here's an oddball one. A low budget (zero budget more like) tv series set in Sevilla Spain. An experimental story telling style. Lots of queer characters and story lines. Friend groups of millennials. I tried one episode and it was a struggle to get through as the style was so weird and the subtitles were very messed up but there is lots of eye candy and maybe something to learn about another culture or maybe not. To say that this one isn't for everyone would be a great understatement.
  14. Yes Trump wants his money as well.
  15. Burgum is so obviously the pick that it might not be Burgum and the convicted felon like to surprise. Vance has a beard. Trump won't like that look.
  16. Back to pizza. Neopolitan pizze must have a CHEWY crust. Frankie's crust is not chewy. Pizza Art was. A good pizza doesn't need to Neopolitian style. There are different styles. I like quality versions of any style except perhaps the type that has a base like a crispy cracker.

    Well it has been down a long time but I recall this happened at least one time in the past and I don't think it's fair or reasonable to conclude they are out of business unless and until they announce that themselves.
  18. People were locked up in their houses. Next ,,,
  19. I have plenty of other money aggressively invested. 8 percent plus COLA that is a sure thing for part of my assets is pretty appealing. When you die, it doesn't really matter what you did anyway as long as you didn't run out of money before then. I'm on the fence but one thing I really like about getting more from SS and less from the eventually REQUIRED IRA withdrawals at about age 73 is that IRA is taxed fully while social security income is taxed less than fully based on a formula. On the other hand! As far as Thai taxation I don't have a clue yet. It seems to me pension income will probably be exempt but "IRA income" possibly not.
  20. Another Kremlin propaganda repeater. While you're at such vile Z games why not tell us how the Kremlin paints their Nazi style stealing and brainwashing of non orphaned Ukrainian children and gifts them like chattel to Russian families. Also trains them to grow up to kill Ukrainians. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/25/top-european-court-finds-russia-guilty-of-rights-violations-in-crimea If Russia wins God forbid they won't kill Ukrainians willing to be slaves of Rus.
  21. Mentioned before. Pizza Art Jomtien tragically closed. San Francisco. Italy.
  22. I tried Doms again and it had improved for my taste since my previous experience. Frankie's is good but it's not purist Neopolitan. Its their own more modern style.
  23. Come again? https://www.businessinsider.com/china-biggest-banks-stop-russia-payments-icbc-ccb-boc-2024-2?op=1 China's biggest banks are finally getting scared by the West's sanctions against Russia
  24. I disagree. Putin clearly has genocidal intentions towards Ukraine. He's made that very clear. To him Ukraine doesn't exist as a nation separate from Russia. His goal is to erase the Ukrainian language, culture, church, towns and cities that don't surrender leveled to the ground, and all Ukrainian people unwilling to be Slavic slaves of Rus.
