You replied to the wrong person. I never said I don't know about it.

I came to this question because of something that I read saying older Americans shouldn't stress about maintaining (or obtaining) a good credit score as they age. As someone who has an "excellent" credit score and has for decades, I found this interesting as I do take pains to maintain that level. Like never making a late payment, etc. I remember the last time I rented an apartment in the U.S. before before buying a home that the rental agent said Wow you have really good credit as if she had never seen an applicant that had before and/or she was surprised that anyone with such good credit would even want to live in her dump. The older lady above me was eventually evicted so I guess she was the more typical tenant there. Of course I understand the benefits of a good credit score living in the US and the penalties for having a bad one, but living in Thailand it doesn't seem to matter at all either way. Now IF repatriating, that would be different. The same ball game buying a car, renting an apartment, etc. Unless you will be buying a car with cash, buying or already have a home, etc. I guess the advice I read before being about living in the U.S. older people assumed older people have cars they bought for cash and mostly own their own homes. As expats if we don't expect to repatriate, I guess effort made to keep the number up will be wasted.

The trend is not their friend. The Russian economy is in the toilet. After the war, Russia won't be the same country. 1 RUB to THB - Russian Rubles to Thai Baht Exchange Rate (xe.com)

I know about it as you will find many Russian expats working in Silicon Valley USA. They have the talent pool but the industry there itself isn't all that much as far as percentage of their GDP.

Well a weed unfriendly country might have laws against paraphernalia. I've had the experience of my carry on bag being inspected in a transit airport. The checked would presumably be x-rayed. I can't offer you a legal opinion, but I will say there is no way i would risk that.

I think that's pretty darned silly, but I will defer to our members from New Zealand for confirmation.

New or used?

The rules of this pageant are defensible. The trans men and women entering when they're not allowed should get over themselves. A recent pageant in Holland allowed trans women. Different pageants different rules OK either way.

It's kind of like porn. You know it when you see it.

Too late.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Yes. But Liam is an Irish name regardless. Are these non Irish background Liams going to feel pressure to learn about Irish culture?

Yeah it's very easy to identify the Russian language but it is spoken by a number of other nationalities including many Ukrainians.

Could be but to me it's such an Irish name that I still find it's popularity odd. What's next? Paddy? Cillian?

Can they redo the last season of House of Cards now?

He's not a politician. His party affiliation is irrelevant.

Yeah I thought of that but hadn't realized he was that big of a star as to influence the most popular baby boy name. Don't get me wrong. Liam is a very nice name. Also, it's really great that it's not Donald.

Ecuador and Peru?!? Why is this happening? Liam is an Irish origin name. Clearly it's much more than Irish origin Americans using this name. Ever more curious, Ecuador and Peru? If I had to guess, I would have guessed Juan for the USA and certainly a more Latino name for Ecuador and Peru. The Most Popular Baby Names In The World, Mapped | Digg

Projection.

No doubt he is willing to blow up the country, even the world, to save his sorry ample bottom.

No but also consider if convicted to a prison term because of practical issues about secret service protection, he won't be going to prison. It would be something like incarceration in his home. I think that's acceptable given his previous office, but I would hope they would impose prison style food on him just to be somewhat fair to all the other prisoners in the country.

Not seems. Definitely! What a loser.

Well even without factoring in weekends and holidays, SWIFT transfers can take about five business days and not be considered late even though in reality they usually go in very quickly if on business days. If you're talking about a SWIFT transfer, if not Monday, then probably Wednesday as Tuesday is an offical bank holiday.

Yeah he has the charisma of a sack of potatoes. He's the politician most Americans would like to THROW a beer at. Florida -- where the DeSantis political career goes to die.
