I like Russian tourists in reasonable numbers as they're fun to watch and the younger ones are often stunners. But.when they dominate things get ugly like having to sit on them when they don't make space on baht busses

Well of Russians anyway. They should be building new markets. Mexicans anyone?

Yes there can be medical.reasons. They can take a picture of my ding dong if they want as long as they don't separate me from that bank account.

Moldova, good chance. Nato countries, not so much.

Putin is likely to win this phase and install his puppets. He's showing now that he's willing to bomb the country to smithereens rather than lose. A crippled Ukraine serves his purposes as well. But that doesn't mean it's over. Some analysts are suggesting a protected resistance struggle of 10 to 20 years with Russia ultimately losing.

The Putin side is the Nazi side. Ukraine will never agree to demilitarization.

He seems pretty untouchable to me.

I'm not sure what you mean. Maybe you're referring to the significant Tucker Carlson wing faction of republican party Americans that are pro-Putin. They love a strong leader, never mind the war crimes! But even there, there has been at least some moves toward less divisiveness in the U.S. at least on this issue.

You know what it means.

War criminal.

This is complicated and I don't pretend to be an expert but here goes. Medicaid with Medicare is no panacea! Why? The income requirements are very low. A little bit over no go. There are ASSETS rules. You can only have a little bit banked. Owned housing is exempt but if you're a renter you're screwed again. Applying for and using the program complicated. The care is on a different inferior track. If you're very low income with very little in the bank and a renter your odds of homelessness become high upon first large bill or rent hike. Even harder to navigate these programs if homeless. If you are low income Medicaid eligible or not having large non exempt savings is what might literally save your ass. You might need to spend down if needing a Medicaid nursing home. As far as rental housing subsidies there aren't nearly as many Section 8 units as needed and more desirable HUD senior sliding scale rent housing typically has multi year waiting lists and always has a selective application process.

Nomad Capitalist company targets very wealthy expats but provides information that can often be useful to less wealthy expats. At least if you use your imagination.

Simple or not in your estimation, the products have different specs implying they will not all work the same for my need.

You're giving Putin's irrational paranoia way more credit than it deserves.

Silly comment. It's not the cost as you rudely assume. These items appear to be shipping from China on Lazada. That takes a long time. Geez Louise, since when is trying to make sure that you're buying the right tool for the job that will actually work some kind of federal crime worthy of childish ridicule?

I haven't noticed Japanese in such places! There are/weredon of course some non mall Japanese food places mostly in North Pattaya targeted to Japanese tourists and expats but I don't know if any are left post pandemic. At one such place I used to go I was the only non Japanese.

As mentioned before access to Medicare is quite often the biggest draw for older people to repatriate. However always keep.in mind that Medicare isn't a real free to patient national health care system like in the UK. On top of premiums there are out of pocket costs as well. Depending on many complex individual variables that could end up being several thousand dollars annually. This link suggests an approach to "replace" Medicare abroad. https://nomadcapitalist.com/finance/offshore/how-to-replace-medicare-when-moving-overseas/

Correction. My solve rate is actually 78% not 72%.

Heckling not welcome. Is this your sport?

I still don't get it Isn't black light also UV light?

I think they're getting message now that they've become a pariah nation like North Korea.

Yes of course but videos are not the same level of experience. The thing I most missed was attending world class live theater (more than mass appeal musicals) but in the US that's kind of a culturally elite kind of thing and deeply damaged by the pandemic. Also world class art museums with changing special exhibits. I moved here past the age of being into pop music concerts though I'm not knocking them. Hard to ever forget seeing such acts as Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, The Who, Iggy Pop, Red Hot Chile Peppers, and of course The Dead numerous times.

I would rather wait to buy something that I know will work.

Yes we are. The video shows machine reading only. So will a regular black light flashlight work or not?

Kindly focus on the facts about the current situation, possible current solutions, rather than old timey morality sermons / gloating I got mine superior dances.
