  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. Some of them I assume are good people. Check out draft dodger NFKRZ on YouTube. "Your friendly neighborhood Russian."
  8. 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.
  9. Yes of course but it's much cheaper than a laptop.
  10. 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.
  11. It is but its a burden on the host person. There will be technical glitches from time to time.
  12. They aren't officially refugees. Russians enter visa free here.
  13. 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.
  14. I love Russian draft dodgers.
  15. 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.
  16. I obviously misremembered. Good news. They do target more advanced investors.
  17. Not so many places. But once in Asean they can bop around to neighboring countries maybe for years.
  18. Then use the ignore list.
  19. Pattaya taxis don't use meters. Period.
  20. Great Freedom is another movie with heavy subject matter but this one I think more "entertaining" than Till. Great Freedom is a great movie and what an ending! The subject of German oppression of gay people AFTER the Nazis lost the war because of the Paragraph 175 law is not covered that well internationally anyway, but this is not a documentary. For an excellent documentary about Paragraph 175 (2000).
  21. He could. It would be a challenge to open from Thailand and I wouldn't assume continuation of any policies you may have heard about Fidelity in the past. I'm with Fidelity. They were aggressively investigating me for years because of Thailand logins, but they dropped bugging me after I started only logging in from the US directly with TeamViewer (not a VPN). It might be a case of out of the frying pan into the fire. I'm hanging on with Fidelity because they are good and I've been with them since I was 20. I was disgusted when they starting hassling me. It seemed unethical to treat such long term customers that way. But I would have the most confidence in Interactive Brokers long term to be actually expat friendly.
