SIM provider new passport
To be really honest, the only time I've needed by passport was for Immigration. I did have one instance where a BBL wanted my passport and wouldn't accept my other forms of ID (2 Thai DL with address, and a pink card with the same address). That's just par for the course with banks.

SIM provider new passport
That is paranoid. I have a man bag which I put my phone, by eye glass case, and my passport in (pens, condoms, small machete and double-shot .40 derringer (just kidding), necessary stuff. Once you put it on, don't take it off. I put it on when I leave the house, take if off when I get home. Buy one with solid construction so it can't be pulled off or cut. I've lived here 18 years and never had that happen. Not saying that it doesn't happen, just haven't had it happen. I'm not a fan of carrying my passport, but on some occasions you just gotta. Suck it up. Be a man - Buy a Chad-bag. 🧔♂️

Scotland - Alarming Increase in Strokes since 2020
Haggis. No doubt it's Haggis. I'm sure The Gate's Institute as well as Pfizer and other stakeholders will conclusively determine that Haggis in the villain - but? On the bright side, within the next 90 days Pfizer and Moderna will have mRNA Haggis Stroke Protection Shots which will be 100% Safe and Effective, so safe and effective that the Scottish FDA need not even get involved. Just sign the authorization documents and Haggis Originating Strokes will plummet within 10 or 20 years - for sure. And if not, well, if you have a stroke, it won't kill you, and if it does kill you, you'll feel no pain. There ya have it. The marvels of modern medicine!

Tattoos.
I don't know. From my perspective most of the guys I knew back in my Navy days got "screwed, blued, and tattooed" while on R&R, generally after getting quite drunk. I limited my activities to drinking and screwing, so my canvass is still unpainted and I plan to have it remain that way until they push me into the pizza oven for my cosmic pizza-party with Buddha and friends.

Trump takes 10% of Intel, as Washington becomes Chinatown
I finally figured it out. People use "Down Thumbs" when they can't handle the facts. I just posted a factual statement. Personally I don't care which flavor of president takes an equity stake in a private company. No US president or the US government should take any equity stakes in private companies. It's a free market: Sink or swim.

Cha-am Beach May Allow Booze on Buddhist Holy Days
I can drink any day I want, any time I want in the village. There's village life for you.

Cha-am Beach May Allow Booze on Buddhist Holy Days
I bet it doesn't fly. Cha-am is a predominately Thai beach and beach area. Hua Hin is the best candidate for foreign tourist who this change in the law would be targeting. Well? Unless Cha-am is TARGETING more foreigners by opening up alcohol sales during Buddhist holidays. Really - if you're a Buddhist and choose not to drink on those holidays, it should be up to you. Typical Yank - I hate government overreach. Like I don't drink during Buddhist Lent - but? THAT'S MY CHOICE! No one with a badge is forcing me to refrain. That's the way it should be, especially in a country where maybe 2% of the foreign tourists for the West are Buddhists. Yes. From the original Pali: Surāmerayamajjapamādaṭṭhānā veramaṇī sikkhāpadaṃ samādiyāmi."This translates to: "I undertake the training rule to abstain from fermented and distilled liquors which cause intoxication and heedlessness."

France Summons US Ambassador: Fury Over Antisemitism Claims
I've heard it all now. Recognizing a "Two State Solution" and recognizing a sovereign Palestinian state is now "antisemitism." My goodness, how the Overton Window has been crow-barred out of its frame. Considering several U.S. presidents have supported a Two-State Solution for Israel, including Bill Clinton (Oslo Accords, 1993-2000), George W. Bush (Roadmap for Peace, 2002), and Barack Obama (consistent advocacy, e.g., 2016 UN Resolution 2334), as well as Harry Truman (where a two-state solution was implied for the nascent state of Israel) - that means that ALL of these US Presidents are antisemitic? I bet that is surprising news to them! What a forsaken world we live in. Which explains why I'm a Buddhist. The world is simply awash in the blood of those killed in The Name and In The Glory Of God.

Trump's Shock Move: Fed Governor Lisa Cook Axed in Sudden Purge
The Democrats let the Lawfare Genie out of the bottle. Now it's alive and well in the wild and is being used by both parties to advance their interests. Now it would help of these "powerful" people were actually law-abiding citizens, but they all consider themselves to be both 1) special, and 2) above the law. I doesn't matter if her wins her case in court, Trump's obvious goal was to remove her and put a Trump clone into her position.

People stuck in the past using ancient Windows computers
If used as a dumb terminal - perhaps. But still. Not supported and still hackable. If you can get to the back-end POS system, you can do lots of damage.

People stuck in the past using ancient Windows computers
The cash register at one of Thailand premier hypermarts (I won't name which one for all of the obvious reasons) was still rocking with a cash register running WinXP. Not good. Which means the Point Of Sales system is probably using deprecated POS back-end systems as well as deprecated WinXP for the front-end with all the encryption and security holes that comes with those old systems. Now - think about that? A cash register attached to debit/credit card terminals and QR Code readers, which in turn are connected to the store's POS of sales systems with the front-end terminals running WinXP??? That just screams: "HACK ME!!!" There is another reason that I use cash for all my transactions.

Israel Launches Massive Gaza Strikes Ahead of Major Offensive
Personally I hope that Israel hits Iran with another air offensive.

Israel Launches Massive Gaza Strikes Ahead of Major Offensive
Bombing tents and hospitals full of women, children, and old people. If you can't starve them to death, then use advance munitions on the most vulnerable, then when the "offensive" begins, declare Gaza a "Free-Fire Zone" and eliminate anything that moves. Then claim that all of those who died "voluntarily removed themselves from Gaza."

Four journalists among 15 dead in Israeli strike on hospital
People like yourself have completely lost their humanity. You embrace evil and call your actions "driven by God." If "your enemies" hospitals are bombed, that "your leaders" will just stay that the hospital was full of terrorists and used for terrorist purposes. But that's all it take - "All these people are terrorists and deserve to die and hospital deserved to be bombed." To Israelis and their supporters, all Arabs are "terrorists - man, women, and child - no matter where they are, including in hospitals" and they all deserve to die. It's genocide - but in this day and age, if you are the right people you are allowed to engage in genocide. If you're the wrong people, you must be eliminated.
