The Romanian legal system is based on the Napoleonic code.

You're thinking short term.

No! Nobody does. You totally missed the point

BUY for the long term. Bear markets are your friend. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/012116/warren-buffett-be-fearful-when-others-are-greedy.asp "Warren Buffett once said that it is wise for investors to be “fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.”1 This statement is somewhat of a contrarian view on stock markets and relates directly to the price of an asset: when others are greedy, prices typically boil over, and one should be cautious lest they overpay for an asset that subsequently leads to anemic returns. When others are fearful, it may present a good value investment opportunity."

If you buy and hold over many years the return will probably be about 8 percent annually based on history. Not 10.

I call BS. People say Phuket they mean the entire large island. Pattaya similarly refers to a large metro area. The borders may be less defined than Phuket but certainly include central Pattaya, Naklua, Dark Side, and Jomtien. In my view the Pattaya metro area has developed into a mini Bangkok but has the advantage of sea views and sea access.

Jomtien is part of the Pattaya metro area.

Great! You can also open an account with State Department Federal Credit Union from Thailand, you can be open to them that you're an expat, and direct deposit to them. Easy to use online SWIFTs with them that cost 30 dollars. I use them and do one or two wires a year.

About Andrew Tate, I'm obviously not in his target audience, and from what I know about him which is limited, I very much do not like him. But he has the right to express his POV no matter how damaging and toxic. What I'm curious about now is on what basis are his defenders claiming he is innocent of what he's being charged with? I don't know either way, but it feels to me his defenders are reacting only in a tribal manner, portraying an obviously extremely aggressive man as some kind of victim, and I'm not seeing any basis in fact.

OK. as said I had a pint of Half Baked delivered. As their number one selling flavor, that was my excuse to buy it and try it. My verdict, while I'm glad that I know what their top seller is like, it's not my favorite and I wouldn't choose it again. Maybe I'm just not a cookie dough person.

It's doubtful an occasional treat is going to kill you. I looked up the ingredients for the Half Baked flavor and didn't see corn syrup.

Pattaya METRO AREA is a MUCH better place to live. Sure Phuket has beautiful beaches, but get real folks, what percentage of expats actually go to the beach all that often once they live there? So many advantages to Pattaya already mentioned here. Easy access to Bangkok often the top tourist destination on the planet. For a vacation for new to Thailand types, arguably Phuket is better. But again for expats, there really isn't a contest and it is NOT only about cost.

This movie seems to be very polarizing. On imdb mostly very good reviews by critics and really really bad ones by the public. I gave it a go and it put me to sleep. For what I saw, I could see some of the elements that critics probably liked such as interesting characters, but ... NOPE

He's a horrible human being that shouldn't have ever had access to any elected office, much less the most powerful one in the world.

Some of them I assume are good people. Check out draft dodger NFKRZ on YouTube. "Your friendly neighborhood Russian."

Good

What a horrible little "man." Maybe testosterone poisoning is a real thing. Seems to be popular with red pilled incel types. I can imagine him doing these crimes but do hope he gets a fair trial. Even sleazeballs deserve that.

Yes of course but it's much cheaper than a laptop.

Doesn't have to be a laptop. My host computer is a cheap box without a monitor using Linux. I power it on by logging into my host's network. Linux is much easier than windows on updates.

It is but its a burden on the host person. There will be technical glitches from time to time.

They aren't officially refugees. Russians enter visa free here.

All I can say is whatever is working for you will work until the time that maybe it doesn't. With AI coming in who knows what's next. Don't get too comfortable with any solution. Have backups and Plan Bs.

I love Russian draft dodgers.

Without but be clear they know where you are even with a VPN. Financial institutions have tools. Banks etc are blocking people all the time that are using VPNs. VPNs are only good to shield your activity from your IP and accessing geo restricted websites. Probably over 90 percent of people paying for VPNs don't need them. They are oversold. Even logging in an a public wireless network doesn't need a VPN as things like banking are already encrypted. But banks are a higher level of surveillance.
