  1. I expect that we will survive out in rural Thailand. It is you city folk that need to worry.
  2. My mobile stays on my desk where it belongs. I control it, it does not control me. The only time it goes with me is if I leave the house.
  3. The last time I looked out this morning I was still in Thailand, and not China, which oddly enough is what the thread is about.
  4. Not true at all. Most of my bills are paid through internet banking and I use my debit card to withdraw cash from the ATM for everything else. My smart phone is simply a mobile phone. If everything you do from accessing the Internet to all your financial services are becoming dependent on that damn phone, it is because YOU choose to do it and no other reason.
  5. I am not sure if they have killed all the non Thai PayPal accounts. I got this email this morning and it seems to tell me that my current account will be closed next month, but I can apply for a new account. Not that it bothers me as I don't use it anyway. Open a new account to use PayPal We're relaunching our services in Thailand and noticed that your account's been inactive for more than 2 years. Unfortunately, we're unable to transfer your inactive account to PayPal Thailand. This means that starting on 16 December, 2022 you'll no longer be able to use your existing account. Here's what you can do next: Spend any remaining funds in your account up until 15 December, 2022 or withdraw them at any time Close your existing PayPal account Open a new PayPal Thailand account For more info, visit our PayPal Thailand Relaunch FAQs.
  6. BTW this is the topic at hand and NOT enrichment by people. Nancy Pelosi stands down as leader of US House Democrats
  7. As usual, you make the accusation, now back it up with the links and the proof.
  8. IMHO it should apply to ALL politicians.
  9. That works for all sides. What do you think the term limits should be? IMHO there ought to be a maximum age limit of say 65 years old at the end of the term limit.
  10. Then please do provide them. I am sure that all your links will be verifiable or not. Back in the UK, we call that putting your money where your mouth is.
  11. Did it ever occur to you that it may well have been 'misinformation'? Especially if it could not be verified. I am sure that the mods on here do a good job in verifying dubious links.
  12. What you could do is post it anyway and see if it gets taken down, and why.
  13. You have the right to freedom of speech, you have the right to protest, BUT only if you obey our rules as to when, where and for how long.
  14. Just another dinosaur among the many.
  15. But he has the same right as you to express his own opinion, and I agree with him 100%. IMHO most professional footballers are vastly overpaid ham actors acting very badly, and certainly not worth the ridiculous salary that they are paid. However that is just my personal opinion. Your opinion may be different and you are more than welcome to express it.
  16. Naturally you have the links with evidence to prove what you claim.
  17. No, actually you didn't and you still haven't.
  18. Trump's department.
  19. Oh dear. EX-president Trump still can't stop telling lies or even getting stuff fact checked before spewing it out. Yet this is the person that millions of Americans an d lot of his supporters here on AN want to be the next President.
  20. As a Brit, the only time I was in the USA was in January 1991 for a week between jobs in Mexico and then on to Chile. I haven't been so cold in my life as that week. The only other times I was in the airport transit lounge at Dallas/Fort Worth or Miami and they don't really count.
  21. It might work where you are but not in rural Thailand.
  22. I can't remember the last time I wrote a cheque. About 20 years ago I guess.
  23. IMHO it is not so much that the poorer people can still pollute the country. But until EGAT and the PEA upgrade the whole network of cabling across the country, installing new transformers and upgraded access, plus free new meters for those who actually want EVs an to charge them at home, they are wasting their time. I can't see many rural people lobbing out 8mn baht for a BMW, especially if they have to travel somewhere else just to charge it up. Also I have yet to see or hear of EV replacements for ANY farming vehicles, tractors, etans, iron buffalos, rice or sugar cane harvesters. https://mobilityforesights.com/product/thailand-electric-tractor-market/ As for motorcycles.... At least 2 major manufacturers are headed in the right direction. https://www-thaihonda-co-th.translate.goog/honda/news/product/20220913/honda-electric-motorcycle?_x_tr_sl=th&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc https://www.yamaha-motor.co.th/blog/detail?url=ส่อง_9_ฟังก์ชันเด่น_Yamaha_Y-Connect&cate=reviews
  24. From what I read in the 'other' paper, it seems that the cubs were smuggled in from Laos, and to get the cubs the mother was probably killed. She would probably have fought to the death to protect her cubs, or been trapped somehow herself. Bar stewards like the trader should be staked out, naked and unarmed as food for any wild animal to eat.
