  1. Beliefs are only relevant if grounded in inferences. Monkeypox has in past cases had an r-count of R0 (that is, each person infected, on average, spreads it to less than one person). There is little reason to expect more than some clusters, from which it will then fade away. Of course, going from 1 infection to 10 people is, strictly speaking, "exponential", but I suspect by it you are suggesting some storm of infections, perhaps in the tens of thousand. That is highly unlikely. Relax.
  2. Found the link. If you have any funds trapped on the Zipmex site then fill this form in and submit to the Thai SEC.
  3. And there it is. You want so badly for your imaginary fantasy to be true that if you can't get enjoyable benefits from Europe then at least others have suffered by your acts. You have stabbed yourself in the face so mommy will sob for you. You played yourself.
  4. And there it is. You are laughing. You are trying to extract enjoyment from the situation. You need to feel that what you are doing has made others suffer.
  5. It fascinates me how the brexiteers concocted in their minds this fantasy that Europe and the EU were just passing laws and regulations to annoy the good common folk of England. And even more comically they thought by leaving Europe this would be of enormous cost to Europeans: "this will show them!". All they did was hurt themselves. They cut off access to jobs in Europe, to customers in Europe, to life in Europe. And they cut off the labour they need for the British economy to work. And cut off the food they need from Europe. And I told them all this but they laughed because they really believed in their ridiculous fantasy of revenge. It's like the ugly girl in school trying to take revenge on Chad, by ignoring him. He isn't even thinking about her. All so pathetic. I predicted on the day of voting for brexit that the uk would rejoin Europe within 15 years, But without the enormous benefits that the UK had negotiated over the last 40 years.
  6. It's an Exynos. I have noticed no deterioration in battery capability or charging time since I bought it. Unlike iPhone, the manufacturer does not deliberately deteriorate the product to persuade you to upgrade. Very fast to charge if its Supercharger (comes free with it) is attached (probably 40 minutes for 90% charge). If charged using normal chargers, probably twice as long. I can't answer the other questions with any authority.
  7. Although all the signs look like they will be bought (perhaps by MUFG or FTX) and that might save the frozen customer funds, this will take several weeks at least, and the Thai SEC appears to have set up an online form for all affected users (those using the ZipUp product) to ensure a direct communication line for customers: "The SEC itself wants to make it more convenient for customers of Zipmex Thailand so it has provide an online filling form as well, it said." Nation Newspaper. This badly worded paragraph seems to suggest the form is on the SEC site. I am unable to find this form, but it could be very useful for future lawsuits. Anyone found the link?
  8. Doesn't the financial cost of the wedding & the dowry fall upon the man? In any event, this article seems to be suggesting a return to a system not unlike the Victorian times in Europe when the men had to pay a huge price for breaching an engagement. Even some compensation for a man breaching contract by not marrying is unacceptable in modern times. She could walk away at any time and find somebody more generous... and foolish. All is fair in love and war.
  9. I think you meant the exact opposite of what you wrote. You probably meant "The published and only accepted rate is 800". Some tourists have literally just gotten off the plane, other tourists have both literally and metaphorically just gotten off the plane. It sounds like you are the latter. Let me say this gently: it is fairly easy for them to spot a Mark.
  10. I bought the second as a backup around 4 months ago. No issues with the first phone: I'm using it to type this message. The battery of my first has lasted far longer than any phone I've ever owned. No issues. The S20 is actually superior to the new S versions. The FE is 2,000 cheaper than the version I have. Why make the compromise? The high-end version is already far cheaper than its original price when I bought it four or five years back. This is what I bought: And I bought it from a very credible seller: I use around 650 Apps on my phone. Obviously a "normie" who only uses their phone for Facebook and checking e-mails doesn't need such a powerful device. But it's now so ridiculously cheap... It was a no brainer for me and my needs.
  11. He's now in the Phnom Penh Soviet Friendship Hospital. The World is saved.
  12. 500 baht is the going rate for the mafia taxi. You played yourself.
  13. You are the embodiment of a low- information voter. If governments locked everyone up for having some mild infection that is impossible to transmit except by intimate physical contact, then everyone with Chlamydia should also be locked up (about a quarter of women). By your logic, a Cold infection requires camps and public executions. Yes it's the case he could transmit it. Perhaps one person every couple of days. But with COVID, it transmits to 18 per infection on average. And kills 1%. By Day 10, a COVID outbreak would be around 10- 100,000 (around 100+ deaths), but a monkeypox outbreak would be around 5 people, all with mild symptoms. The key with diseases is disease vectors. Monkeypox struggles to transmit. It almost only transmits through extreme and lengthy bodily contact. It does not require medical incarceration for having the virus. I really hope you are not the Health Minister's advisor.
  14. I'd urge you to go online to Lazada if you opt for new. Find a seller with a very high reputation, wait for a sale, and then purchase it. I bought my second S20 at Lazada. Arrived quickly and in perfect condition. If you prefer secondhand, your options are limited...
  15. The Health Minister's ability to be even worse than my low expectations of him are remarkable. I'll try to make this nice and simple for the Health Minister should he be reading this (my guess is he reads the Farang Pub forum to make his decisions). A disease that is almost impossible to spread except by actively trying to spread it, is not a disease that requires the person to lose their freedom. Of course, this point also applies to the equally stupid syphilis tests for work permits. There's no need to test for it, because it can't be transmitted at work or in public. The syphilitic ill person would need to be malicious in intent or beyond stupid. Let's contrast with COVID-19. Spreads through the air. Is astonishigly transmissible; possibly the most transmissible virus ever known to man. Kills around 1% of those infected. Is frequently symptomless. And... can re- infect easily, collapse the healthcare system and cause chronic illness lasting 2 or more years. My only explanation is blunt racism. If you have the vivid imagination of a racist then you will believe a blackman will try to sleep with everything in sight.
  16. I've been lost/got into trouble in places with no cellphone signal that I want an SOS GPS Garmin device (Mini 2, Explorer Plus, 66i etc) with text communication cabaility with the Iridium satellite network. Thailand seems to require personal use licence through its broadcasting agency. I can understand they would want to restrict because the devices could be used in the Deep South troubles. It is almost impossible to buy the phones I mentioned above, but several Thai companies sell the Garmin 88i, the marine version of the 66i. This means Thailand does provide the Use Licence for at least this type of phone to importing companies. My inference from these brute realities is Thailand is likely to deny any licence request unless an overwhelming need, but are open to boat owners gaining the device for emergency situations. Even if I couldn't use it in Thailand, I'd find it useful to take on holidays abroad. Can anyone tell me if my inferences from the factual reality are correct? 1. Thailand is highly restrictive on the licences 2. Licences for boat users/owners are the most likely to be granted 3. Even an unused device (a device intended for foreign holidays only) without a licence is illegal I'm hoping the licence is a matter of routine, and is simply for the purpose of keeping track of the owners of such devices should they be used in the Deep South. In the same way, cell phones don't work in the Deep South unless first registered. Also, can I apply for the licence prior to obtaining the phone? Must I? Anyone here with a Personal Licence?
