  1. Yeah, he's gonna be in real trouble if one of those dentists knocks his teeth out for him while he's on the rampage. What would he do then? 🤣
  2. People don't seem to understand that CRS is useless to the Thais unless they enact global taxation. It's a tool for use by the west to keep tabs on your foreign accounts. Most of us are non resident 'back home' and as Thailand only taxes remitted income for 180+ day residents then CRS does literally nothing useful for them at all - they can already see remittances should they request information from Thai bank accounts. So CRS for Thailand only makes sense in the scenario where taxation on global income is in place, even if it's not remitted. We know some people who work in the Revenue Department want this - but they're not in a position to do it - only government can do that and it would be a contentious issue - many would leave. Not just foreigners - I would expect a mass exodus of wealthy Thais as well.
  3. What do you do if you run into an actual expert in their field? Do you dismiss them immediately? How would you know the difference
  4. Perhaps the US should give France back to the Germans while they're at it?
  5. Portugal doesn't need billions worth of fighter jets anyway. I really wonder why these dumb governments spend so much on this worthless crap which they will never get to use. Kind of like wanting submarines when you don't have a ready to go nuclear arsenal to hide or at least make it look like you have it.
  6. Oh look, they're running out of other peoples money already. Zero surprise. In fact fully expected - I can't wait to see what ideas this most retarded chancellor of them all comes up with in the upcoming budget. It's going to be a good laugh watching the country going down the <deleted>ter.
  7. The brand is not your problem here, they sell millions of units per year. Either it's a dud or they broke it.
  8. Chinese tourists will come when instructed to do so by their lords and masters. They are wielded as a weapon. Some Uyghur deportations here, an unofficial police station somewhere else and before you know it the flood gates are opened again. But only once they bend the knee and provide whatever it is that's being demanded will the tourists flow.
  9. I didn't realise they still had a consular services section, from what I heard they closed it down years ago - it's all spies, police and diplomats.
  10. This one's been around for so long I can't even remember when they first launched it - 20+ years ago though! The old k-lite codec pack, still going after all these years, of course they update it along the way.
  11. It is unusual for the victim to not have the name published in a small time case like this. Also where are the photos of the victims pointing to the scene of the crime
  12. So what, they clearly leased it or something similar. I have a couple of land leases myself, it's no biggie. By the time those 30 years are up I'll likely have moved on or really moved on.
  13. If the K-lite codec pack doesn't work with that player then give up and change player.
  14. That's a pain, it may be restricted to certain Microsoft devices like Surface Pro versions or something. There's one old but tested way to do it - the K-lite codec pack - always did the job going back a long time and it seems to still be around Whether it will work with this specific player nor not is anyones guess but it's definitely worth a shot - this could solve your issue in minutes Find it here : https://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm
  15. From ChatGPT - the codec is free if you want it for free The issue is 100% related to HEVC / H.265 usage in the file which is why it works just fine in VLC which contains the codec and not in the others - they don't want to license it for commercial use - but it is freely available. The link to get the codec is : https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/hevc-video-extensions-from-device-manufacturer/9N4WGH0Z6VHQ
  16. I want to make things extremely simple for proving non tax residence in any future year and also planning it so I an refer back to my passport. I know you can apply to immigration to get some kind of report of entry and exit dates but this is my own personal record, scanned and backed up on my local computer and wherever I keep copies of such backups. I've never filled an 'extra large' passport in all my years traveling so not worried about that.
  17. I like the stamps - so no auto gates for me. I didn't notice them anyway but I was in the fast track area which at the time of day I tend to travel is pretty much empty.
  18. Yes, buying at all time highs is often not the wisest move.
  19. Lower prices encourage those who sold at higher prices like the end of last year for example to repurchase for the next round of 'up up up' So lower prices create more demand and there are people who trade this stuff 24/7. I rarely trade it at all but when I do I like to sell at higher prices and then sit patiently waiting for increasingly longer periods of time before rebuying. If the price continues to go up while I'm waiting - then so what - I've already made my money - it will fall back eventually and it will be time to rebuy. I've been at this for a very long time, more than a decade
  20. So what? It goes up one year and down another year. If you look at long term charts you can see that there is an 'aberration' or deviation which started in the election week, the prices went up a lot since then and now it appears to be falling back towards the previous range which lasted for a great deal of last year. I won't be surprised if we're back under $70k once the hype has worn off with a repeat of 'massive increases' much later in the year. For now I'm all cash and have been for some time.
  21. What if it doesn't go wrong and in fact turns out really well?
  22. Then that very department should be investigated because who could possibly issue an official yet unlawful land title except for the department of land. The government department and those who supervise its operation should be made to pay for this - ultimately the tax payer and government of the day is responsible for actions under their regime - who was running the country at the time this happened? Be it one rogue official, etc - someone on the corrupt side of things needs to pay up for being incompetent in supervising government officials unless it proves to be a simple faked document - which I'm pretty sure it's not as these are issued only at government offices and anyone making such a large purchase would surely verify everything down to the last centimeter during their due dilligence. There seems to be a very long history of corruption of employees being denied as the responsibility of the institution which they work for, be it some government department or a bank, etc. Why is it taking 10 years to sort this out? I have a very good idea why - nobody wants to take responsibility for the obvious.
  23. Yes, and when it found no food it chose violence instead 😂
