Not sure what you mean. I am here in Thailand, VPN through SF.

I have not had that problem. My VPN is on all the time.

"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tells the BBC that Ukraine remains ready to sign a rare minerals deal with the US following his heated confrontation with Donald Trump on Friday"

Yes it is. I have stopped going to the KFC US. The amount of salt they put on the chicken is a crime.

KFC Thailand is a whole lot better than KFC US

This is interesting. As you know AP and Reuters are barred from high level news meetings, but Tass which is not on the approved list managed to get inside and live-stream the meeting. Guess what? No one knows how they got in🤮

It was years ago, but the account that the government check was sent to at Bangkok Bank could only be accessed at the counter. Since I still have a US bank account I have it sent there now and use Wise for transfers.

I was only making a point the "Russia saved Europe" only because Russia and Germany had a falling out.

Under the terms of this pact, the German Wehrmacht moved into western Poland on 1 September 1939, and the Soviet Red Army moved en masse into eastern Poland sixteen days later. Great Britain, which had signed a bilateral defense treaty with Poland earlier that year, declared war against Germany as required by a secret protocol to the treaty. However, the protocol, as we now know, applied only to defense against Germany, not against any other country. Similarly, France, which also had signed a bilateral defense treaty with Poland that expressly applied only to Germany, declared war against Germany hours after Britain did. But neither the British nor the French government declared war against Russia."

If you have seen the framing of those buses to keep the weight down you would not be surprised that the undercarriage crushed the upper carriage in a rollover.

Why spoil a good circle jerk?

In 14 months, the Russians gained an area about 2.5 times the size of Bangkok. Most of that area is empty fields. They have lost a good portion of area to the Ukranians in their own country.

A friend of mine died about a year ago. A few months later, his Thai wife asked me to help renew her PP. She had lived in the US for 20 years but for some reason when she got her PP, she wasn't given a full 10-year PP. She had to go in person to the embassy in Bangkok to apply, and then again to pick the PP up. It appears that her PP was not renewable and she had to apply for a new one.
