OPINION: If Mr. Trump takes power will more Americans REALLY leave the US this time?
That's funny. You're trying to imply that to be a patriot you need to be MAGA. Just go ahead and drink the Koolade and get it over with. MAGA is a cult and it has nothing to do with patriotism.

Anyone opened a Schwab International account while living here?
Update: My Schwab International account is now open. The only documents required were a copy of my Canadian passport and a copy of my last k-bank statement. I screwed up initially and sent the locked pdf statement from k-bank which Schwab was obviously unable to open. After they received the unlocked statement it was only a day or two until it was open. A mutual fund from Vanguard is currently being transferred to fund the account. 3-4 days they say. I've added a US address as the mailing address. As soon as they've updated this on the account, I'll add a cash account which will get the Schwab ATM card.

Key takeaways from Super Tuesday results
Of course you're not capable of watching it yourself and making up your own mind. You need to wait for the right-wing spin telling what to think.

My blood test shows high Cholesterol – Looking for advice - Drugs / Diet .
Diet and exercise will provide up to a 5% decrease in the numbers. A statin will reduce the numbers around 50%. Don't forget you need to take a co-q-10 supplement if you take a statin.

Medical Experts Warn Against LSD ‘Death Stamps’
You better back this up with a link. I can personally confirm from my high school days that once a week it has full effects every time.

Debit card scam
You gave them your card info by voice and not electronically? If you did you only have yourself to blame.

Culture of "Value"
So obvious answer: buy the 600k incredible luxury unit next door. Moving to the new unit would be simple.

Legalize wireheading now
All this current talk on using electronics implanted in the brain that then control body functions remind me of a sci-fi book I read (Niven I think) decades ago. Clearly if they can read info from the brain, they could also use the technology to stimulate the brain. There are pleasure centers that could be stimulated to cause orgasms, get you high, etc. Push a button and come. Push a button and get high, with no lung issues. Etc. The sky is the limit. Legalize wireheading!

Florida is swamped by disease outbreaks as quackery replaces science
Call it what you will. Darwin awards for them all. Evolution in action. Too stupid to get vaccinated? This is what happens. And for the right wing morons that are trying to blame the “illegal immigrants“ (better called legal asylum seekers), the problem is not just in Florida. Canada, with few illegal immigrants, is having similar problems with measles in the unvaccinated idiots.

Full Page Replies - Why?
I'm a bit unclear on what you're trying to say. Maybe you could expand it a bit so I could understand.

Make that under 110 and I'd agree with you.

They're looking for a reason to get you kicked out of Thailand. What did you do? Annoy them with useless drivel?

Express VPN Issues
Here's how it works. Each VPN provider has a pool of IP addresses at each server that it gives one of to your connection when you connect to that server. Once the provider (BBC in this case) determines your IP is in one of the pools it will block you. I recently switched from nordvpn due to their ridiculous renewal policy that charges full price when you renew. My new VPN, torguard has a renewal policy which gives you the rate you signed up at automatically at renewal. Anyway, I was having the same problem as the OP, but not with the BBC. Torguard assigned me a fixed IP address that was not in any pool that will never be caught by the BBC, etc. Because I was about to cancel, they did not charge for this feature that is normally extra. So 3 years for $66 and renewal at the same rate when that expires.

Mitch McConnell to step down as Senate Republican leader in November
I hate to say it but Mitch is one of the few sane Republicans left. His replacement will no doubt be from the MAGA camp. The inevitable outcome if they get back in power will be the loss of democracy in the US and the autocracies around the world taking over.

Judge orders Trump and companies to pay nearly $355 million in civil fraud trial
Don't know anything about stocks or mutual funds huh? No taxes paid until you sell, except for the dividends of course.

Judge orders Trump and companies to pay nearly $355 million in civil fraud trial
That 2015 article you reference was based fully or in part on Trump's own property assessments. And we all now know how accurate Trump's assessments are. That said, I agree with your premise. If Trump had put the $400 million he got from his father in an S&P 500 index fund he'd be much richer now. Add in the suitcases of cash his daddy put into the money hemorrhaging Trump casinos in Atlantic city and he'd be even richer. S&P 500 has averaged over 10% gain per year since I began putting money there in 1985.

What's with the Walking Dead? The new spinoff is starting to drop. Are the viewers so stupid they need to have 5 minutes of explaining what the episode was about at the end of each one? Hmmm. Probably.

No charging option in condo - Need advice
EV charging stations should be everywhere. And it should be pay as you go. I foresee the solution to be a number of charging stations on the periphery of the condos, not paid for by the condo association but some company that arranges and maintains the units. Kind of like the water dispensers that are everywhere. Who wants to start a business?
