Yes some condos don't allow, but mine does. Also some condos banned it during peak covid but now have allowed. I assume some drivers told me my condo won't allow because they've experienced other condos that don't and if not experienced can't be expected to know all the different policies. Of course the issue of this topic is irrelevant if your condo doesn't allow it. I do find it funny, typical Thailand that the vast majority of drivers ignore the company policy. You might cynically say they expect a tip but I've had many surprised by any tip even giving this extra not required service. Although not a tipping topic, I think not tipping if they bring directly to your condo really mean.

Free to Marry notary witness required at US Embassy?
Jingthing replied to Yeahrightdennis's topic in Marriage and Divorce
I will add that not surprisingly the embassy staff are not allowed to act as witnesses. -
Free to Marry notary witness required at US Embassy?
Jingthing replied to Yeahrightdennis's topic in Marriage and Divorce
Not sure but I had to do an affidavit there that required a witness and I was allowed to just ask a random person in the lobby to do it. -
It's awful that antisemitism has become so normalized in the U.S. now.

Needless to say, I'm a big user of food delivery apps and I know many of you are too. If you aren't, this topic ain't for you. Also, if you don't live in a multiple floor condo, etc., this topic ain't for you either. Anyway, now that the filtering is done, I was recently totally shocked to learn that it is official FOOD PANDA policy to forbid their drivers from delivering directly to condo units. They are only officially allowed only to deliver to outside the building or into the lobby. They are not allowed to use elevators. The shock comes up from the fact that in my experience 90 percent of the drivers do anyway (on request) and I only very recently learned about this official rule. Of course one would hope they would get tipped for that extra effort, but that's another topic. I have this officially confirmed from a very detailed and very specific incident where I discussed this with customer service. Their app doesn't bother to tell you this policy. I was also told by customer service that the policy has been in effect for a very long time, But for some reason it seems to be coming up more as an issue recently. I have been told several times by drivers that my condo specifically doesn't allow it. But I know that's wrong because my condo does allow it. So either drivers saying this are lying or it's lost in translation type thing. The takeaway (ha ha) I would suggest from all this is that IF a driver tells you that he isn't allowed by the COMPANY then do respect and believe that (but it's very unlikely he will tell you that). If he just refuses to do it without comment, then I think that should be respected as well because he's just following the rules of his company so doesn't deserve any grief for that. But I see no reason whatsoever to stop REQUESTING the service if you want it. Usually they will do it regardless. Other Companies? Grab. I don't know of their official policy. Do you? If so, share. I've found similar levels of agreement as Food Panda; I think probably higher levels. I haven't noticed anything on the app about the policy. Lineman I used them recently for the first time in a very long time. But in their case I clearly saw their policy while ordering. NOT ALLOWED. Of course I asked anyway, and the driver did agree. To add: In practice paying in cash increases the chance they will agree. Because if it's already paid they can just leave the order at your security desk if you have that. If it's cash they need to collect money and better chance of getting a cash tip.

Ignorant voters thirsty for fascism. I alone can fix it, my <deleted>.

I know that.

Yeah it's early. Why did he announce so early? Because he thought incorrectly it would shield him from potential indictments.

He grew up in gun culture areas. LGBT are human. It's not a group of angels. Try visiting the hot bars in West Hollywood if you're over 30. I'm not really a specialist in such matters but I recall it was reported that the shooter at the Pulse nightclub massacre had been there before for hookups. Again I don't know the motive. Just speculation. If I'm right usually such people would have committed suicide instead.
-
I really don't know and probably nobody else does except the shooter. However as speculation is afoot my guess at this point is that the shooter is queer and didn't feel accepted by the local queer community. If they weren't accepting who would be? Can queer on queer violence be a hate crime? I think yes.
-
Before this stuff about the shooter maybe being non binary came out I saw the person's picture. My immediate thought was oh my something is up here as it shows a very puffy quite unattractive soft young person. I wondered if this was kind of a queer version of incels in other words perhaps trouble getting laid so lashing out at the community the shooter thinks the shooter deserves to be thirsty for the shooter. To that I will add mainstream gay male culture in the west is brutally looksist. Not sure though if the non binary claim is true or not. Could be a cynical defense gambit.

Yes.

I'm using live.shoot-yalla (no VPN) for all matches with BBC radio commentary but from your link I noticed telemundo (U.S. Spanish language) works without a VPN too. So far it looks like the telemundo video quality is better!

Supreme Court clears way for House to get Trump’s taxes
Jingthing replied to Scott's topic in World News
That's a very silly comment because he's been fighting so hard to resist releasing them for so many years. At this point, things have changed. Trump has a lot to worry about. Way beyond losing another election. He's justifiably worried about losing his wealth, his family name brand, his freedom, and as I don't see him doing well if he loses everything, his life. -
Supreme Court clears way for House to get Trump’s taxes
Jingthing replied to Scott's topic in World News
I already told you. It's incredibly difficult. There is zero chance it would even be tried on a matter like presidential background checks. Presidential backgrounds are checked by the press and when a candidate such as grifter Trump refuses to follow norms such as releasing his tax forms, it is judged by the voters as relevant or not. -

Google: Equal Rights Amendment. You sound uninformed about basic political realities in modern times. Cheers. Equal Rights Amendment - Wikipedia -

You got it now. It is NOT. I think the constitution would need to be changed to add any such requirement. -

Jingthing replied to Scott's topic in World News
No. It's customary but not required for serious candidates to release them but Trump promised that he would several times over many years, but never did. Grifter that he is. There is no background check. No major party is going to nominate someone who isn't constitutionally eligible. -
I'm OK with them unless they display Z stuff.

Russian tourists pack charter flights to Pattaya and Phuket
Jingthing replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
They might like Asia, the weather and they can bop around. Georgia and Turkey are not that cheap especially Tbilisi. Massive rent spikes because of Russians. I don’t think the Stan's are cheaper than Thailand on a budget. There are a limited number of countries Russians can fly into these days without a visa and Thailand is one of them. So Thailand is getting some Russian refugees. Remember WW2? China and the Philippines got some Jewish refugees. -
Republicans announce investigation into Joe Biden !
Jingthing replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Investigate him then. As a democrat that doesn't bother me at all. If they find something to charge, then charge. Democrats mostly believe in due process and the rule of law. Trumpists don't.
