Trump's economic policies, like all of his policies, will lead to a catastrophic crippling of the USA's economic system.

My second SIM is from OneCardSim, which has a USA phone number. When someone calls that number, it records whatever they want to say and then alerts me there is a message. If that number is sent a text message (like a security code from my US bank), it forwards that message to my Thai phone number.

Lock 'em up!

Find whoever did this and lock them up!

OMG! And this is what we have to look forward to during the next four years.

That should be, "The human idea of mechanics is built around Newton's three theories of motion."

Ah! But that's all relative. You could say the Earth pulls you down, or you pull the Earth up because the direction is relative to whatever object you consider motionless. I say the Earth pulls you down because I, like most humans, assume the largest object in the area is motionless, but that's just a relative assumption that makes us (humans) more comfortable. So, when we think of the Moon orbiting the Earth, we perceive the Earth as being motionless. When we think of the Earth rotating around the Sun, we perceive the Sun as being motionless. When we think of the Sun moving around the Galaxy, we perceive the Galaxy as being motionless. In reality, all are equally moving and motionless. It's just a matter of perception. As an example, here is a video of a diagram of the Solar System assuming the Earth is motionless (Geocentric Model) which is just as valid as our usual one which shows the Sun as being motionless (Heliocentric Model):

That's true, but if there were no air and only a vacuum, the helium balloons would "fall" to Earth because of what we call "gravity."

No, there is no "equal and opposite force." Both the jumper and the Earth exert a force of attraction, but the Earth, with more mass, exerts a stronger force, so the jumper is drawn toward it. If the jumper had more mass than the Earth, the Earth would be drawn toward the jumper. That's my understanding of the force that we call "gravity."

No, the answer is "for money." In this case, they collected 7,000 baht."

90-day reports are easy for me. When I get a one-year extension on my visa, I pay my immigration office THB 1K, and they mail me the 90-day certificates. I usually get them about a week before the old one expires.

If you jump off a building, you will crash to the ground, but not because your body is denser than the surrounding air. It is because your body has much less mass than the Earth below, so the Earth exerts a great attractive force on your body. That force is called "gravity."

The Earth is neither round nor flat nor spherical (see definition below), but "spherical" is the closest of the two choices given in the question. define sphere - Search

I'm certain she'll be there because, unlike the current president-elect, she respects the will of the voters, even when she loses.

Biden, Harris, and all of Biden's senior staff will attend the inauguration of a ..."fascist MAGA threat to democracy hitler dictator that will destroy America" because this POS was elected by the people via the Electoral College, and Biden respects our (USA's) representative democracy. If that's the president the voters want, then that's what they'll get. https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/emoticons/sad.gif

Lock him up!

I did exactly the same thing last month. I changed from a Type-O (not O-A) Long-term Visa one-year extension based on Retirement with THB 800K to one based on monthly deposits in my Thai bank account. I was told I needed a deposit of at least THB 65K per month to qualify. It is my understanding that your bank balance three months after or two months before you apply for a one-year extension doesn't matter at all. It's only those monthly deposits. I did this in the Immigration Office in Phetchabun. And they didn't ask for a letter from my embassy (USA). They only needed the bank statements.

This doesn't sound like a good way to start a negotiation to release hostages.

Eh.......? The full quote is from Shakespeare, "Cry havoc! And release the dogs of war." What the phrase "dogs of war" does is it "...captures the idea of war as a force that, once unleashed, is very difficult to control from either side." Dogs of War – Origin and Meaning

I don't think you could live on THB 20K a month, or at least you couldn't live very well. I live in a rural area up in the mountains, and some of my neighbors who live in bamboo huts probably live on that or less, but it's not what I would call a very pleasant lifestyle.

Johnson controls it in the House. Trump and Musk don't, but they probably control Johnson.

These dogs should be captured and given to people who will give them homes. The person or persons who abandoned them should be put in jail.

When you "release the dogs of war," you no longer have complete control over them...

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone...

This is not true. Rental income would qualify (taxable). Royalties would qualify. Investment income would qualify. Even pension/retirement incomes can get taxed. For instance, my US Social Security is exempt. But if I received a pension from a company I worked for, that pension would be taxed. In my case, I bring my social security into Thailand, but nothing else, since it would get taxed. Thanks! I'm also only mainly concerned with my Social Security payments.
