  1. People still use cell phones? Wow.
  2. I'm not really concerned with a potential increase in the amount required to be kept in a local bank. As I age though, I like to keep stuff as simple as possible, and this could simplify the yearly venture to immigration. I could use an agent. I will save that for when I can't do it myself.
  3. My yearly “retirement visa“ expires in February. The lines at immigration are terrible then. I'm beginning to consider trying to work out a way to change it to a more reasonable date, like July or August. I could let it expire and restart the process with the tourist/NR-O/retirement path. Or maybe when I renew this time I could get them to make it expire in July. Any ideas?
  4. Pay from your phone with a QR code. No change. Problem solved. Does 7/11 take QR codes for payment?
  5. Pay from your phone with a QR code. No change. Problem solved.
  6. Siri or Alexa reporting home and then Apple or Google or Amazon selling the info that you're looking for gutters. Obviously. The first thing I do with a new device is disable those audio assistance services. Everything within earshot is transferred back to the provider. 24/7/365
  7. This conversation is about the US. Other countries are irrelevant. Trump was president, therefore everything that happened on his watch is his responsibility. Same as they're doing to Biden today. Maybe if Trump handled covid better, it wouldn't have been so bad. Regardless, Trump killed the longest period of expansion in US history.
  8. It only took Trump a couple of years to destroy Obama's “longest economic expansion on record“ due to his mishandling of COVID. Looks like it only took Biden and his team a couple of years to get it back on track. With the declining inflation, interest rates, etc., it should look good for Biden by November.
  9. I'm not the one that needs to disprove your nonsense. Obviously you can't backup your numbers, as expected.
  10. You're obviously pulling these numbers out of your a$$. None are close to accurate. Obvious right wing nonsense. Better get a link or two to justify your idiotic numbers.
  11. Nope, not kidding. You posted some fiction and posted a link that supposedly proved your post. Obviously you weren't expecting anyone to actually check the link and see that you were posting nonsense. Bye-bye
  12. Post something accurate and you won't have any problems with me... OTOH...
  13. Try and get your scare mongering story correct when you post. Here's the pic from the news article you linked to. Last time I checked, helium wasn't nitrous oxide.
  14. Come on. It's obviously the devil's weed (or more likely crystal meth).
  15. It can depend on what Thai bank the money is going to. Last time I checked the 3 “fast“ banks were Bangkok, SCB, and Kasikorn. Others can take more time.
  16. I've used wise to transfer funds from banks in both Canada and the US. The US transfer was easy. The Canadian one, not so much. I wouldn't blame wise for that but I would blame the Canadian banking system. They were probably right. Try to avoid the interac method.
  17. That's so funny. Why would anyone fly a third tier airline like air Canada when they can fly Eva? 13 hours is about right for non stop. YVR to Taipei is about 11 hours. Taipei to BKK is about 3.
  18. But I'm only charging 1000bt/day. 1500 if you want no safety gear. After all, we need to pay someone to clean up your blood.
  19. Fly business. Lots of legroom. Lie flat bed. Problem solved.
  20. I smell a business opportunity. One could charge Thais an hourly fee to beat up some dumb falang who will obviously need to sign documents saying there will be no repercussions. Then charge the dumb falang 1000bt per day for a series of opponents. Win, win, except for the dumb falang.
  21. I use anytimemailbox.com. Pick the city/zipcode and they'll have a bunch of providers in that area that you can choose. They sub out the processing to smaller shops that normally are shippers with some private mailboxes. The price is dependent on the provider you use. I'm at about $100/yr.
  22. There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot. Steven Wright
  23. Yes, please. And you could stop posting too. Please.
  24. As soon as the MAGA morons get Trump elected again, the US will be out of NATO and Czar Putin will be able to do anything he wants with Europe.
  25. Well they better catch some or there's nothing for dinner. All the money has been spent on beer...
