I don’t blame myself.

The USA makes it hard on expats. Needing to file taxes, FBAR, banks dumping expats, forcing foreign banks to report on us, etc.

Walmart?

I'm Mac illiterate although my first computers were an original Mac and a Trash 80. I liked the Trash 80 better. Maybe someone can answer.

Question for real Canucks. When you say you're Canadian, do you sometimes get smirks in response, yeah, sure you are. Faking being Canuck is just too obvious. I have considered before posing as a Belizian. That'll shut 'em up real quick. Yeah it's an English speaking country.

Whatever the facts of the case, this is not a good look for Biden, and the timing is awful as he was he is expected to announce his reelection bid fairly soon. i'm wondering now if he shouldn't. Trump will probably be nominated. Normally any incumbent is the best bet to win, but this has me worried. Trump being reelected means total American fascist takeover.

No! I switched to a small cheap "computer" box without a monitor. I think it was under 100 dollars new. My host has always used Android but I use Windows. The device that burned out was a laptop (not a Mac). It's better if both use the same operating system for version compatibility.

I hope it works out for you. I've been doing this for several years already but not without occasional headaches.

Hopefully the stick is lubed.

It will probably last 10 months. I did have a laptop burn out that way but then switched to the box which has really been much better overall.

Sounds interesting. I guess my feeling is if it ain't broke, keep with the program I'm using, but like I said I'm wondering about having both of them installed.

I want to expand on the Fair Usage issue. Many users of TeamViewer are flagged as not being eligible for free fair usage and my understanding is that in such cases their sessions time out very quickly or there's a total block. This came to my attention recently as I've been using it more often than usual this month and my connection was kicking me off very quickly over numerous sessions, But apparently that wasn't it, because the issue resolved itself. Anyway, in cases where Teamviewer does flag your account the way to fix it is to file an appeal in which you must explain what your usage is about. They promote free usage to help friends with technical stuff, etc. It's really good to help elderly relatives etc. In my view if you were honest to them on an account appeal and told them I used it to fake being in the US for financial firm logins in the US, I would expect them to NOT approve of that usage. I don't want to test it! You could lie but then they could probably look at your usage and figure out that you've lied, which might be even worse.

Come on man. I was OBVIOUSLY referring to the inflammatory assertion that all criticism of the Israeli government is always shouted down with accusations of antisemitism. Some criticisms of Israel are antisemitic and some are not. It's usually pretty easy to tell the difference, but not always.

That is garbage. The majority of American Jews oppose many policies of right wing Israeli governments and this one is the most right wing ever. Good luck to the protesters. At least they are still allowed to protest there.

I don't understand that but as I've been saying I do use WOL by logging into the host's LAN software and effecting WOL from there. I start up the box from shut down and shut down again after each session. I use TeamViewer. I wonder if it would be smart to have Anydesk installed as well. Then they could be backups to each other and switching programs might make it less likely that the companies would put a block on because they suspect unfair free usage?

A laptop on sleep all the time will to tend burn out.

Are you sure you can't sell mutual funds that you already have? Can you buy and sell ETFs?

IRAs and 402ks are not pension accounts. You can access them early but with a penalty. They are definitely assets. I don't know what you have. Use your own judgment.

Yeah. No!

Typically net worth changes every day!

Sorry! I agree median is the middle point. So if 250k is the median half ate above and half are below.

Perhaps. 401ks and IRAs are definitely assets though. Pensions including social security in general are not. Net worth is about assets not income. For example a person may be expecting a 50k dollar income a year but the only part of that 50k that is an asset is the part already paid and not spent. Net worth of course doesn't tell the entire story of an individual's financial situation.

No. The money from any source that you currently have banked or invested is.

I don't know about the CIA but yes obviously they have been a conservative publication. The U.S. is a conservative country and they never wanted to make waves. Definitely pro Americanism in the corny Mom and apple pie old fashioned sense.

Are you familiar with Andrew Callaghan's youtube channel? If not, check it out. He's a real American character, that's for sure. ‘Channel 5’: How YouTuber Andrew Callaghan Is Changing Journalism – Rolling Stone Well he did a feature length video called This Place Rules which I suggest as well: This Place Rules (2022) - IMDb Note: Callaghan is now facing sexual misconduct allegations.
