  1. I'm not sure I follow. Doing the TM30 online is the method you use to register your new address.
  2. Jury misconduct is only explored (under any jurisdiction) when there's some kind of credible evidence that jury misconduct may have occurred. There's no such evidence here. A self-described ‘s***poster’ launched a Trump conviction conspiracy theory with one Facebook message As the article explains: And after Judge Merchan had notified the parties of the post in question, Anderson posted:
  3. I did the TM30 online a few years ago. It wasn't that difficult. You do need access to the Blue Book (and possibly the Chanote, I can't exactly remember now) but since the OP says the house belongs to their Thai partner, that shouldn't be a problem, even if you do need both. Back when I did it, the whole thing was only in Thai. I was able to do it myself, using some advice from a thread on here, my fairly basic knowledge of written Thai, and Google Lens for the bits I couldn't figure out. However now it's in Thai and English, so the process looks to be even easier than when I did it all those years ago. Notification of Residence for Foreigners
  4. I didn't claim it's a small issue. I provided evidence that Lindsey Graham thinks it's something not worth pursuing and that the data shows it's an offence that's very rarely prosecuted. I didn't express any opinion on it myself. Nor did I say or even imply that there should be less regulation. Reading comprehension does not seem to be your strong suit.
  5. That's as may be, but they now won't be able to do it using the weapons and sites inside Russia that were taken out by the US-made HIMARS.
  6. Then all you had to do was say that. No need to say he decided to commit suicide, when there's no evidence that he did, and when suicide is not the only alternative to being pushed.
  7. The point the writer of the article is making, is that it has already backfired because it led directly to the US agreeing to let US weapons be used to strike targets inside Russia - and this is something that has already started happening, to devastating effect.
  8. According to The Telegraph, the whole Russian "Victory Day" offensive on Kharkhiv has failed - and seriously backfired on them. Putin’s ‘Victory Day’ offensive in northern Ukraine has backfired spectacularly
  9. Well for starters, saying that Trump was acting under the Presidential Records Act is complete BS. The PRA does not allow presidents or ex-presidents to take official documents away from the White House when they leave. In fact, it states pretty much the opposite. It says that as soon as a president leaves office, all official documents and records must be turned over to the National Archives. The Presidential Records Act And the PRA most definitely doesn't authorise a president to retain classified documents when they leave office.
  10. Saying that someone "fell from a height" is perfectly good, standard English and encapsulates precisely what appears to have happened.
  11. There's no evidence as yet, that he committed suicide.
  12. It isn't according to Lindsey Graham. Graham: ‘Average American’ wouldn’t face Hunter Biden’s gun charges It's also not considered particularly serious by the law enforcement authories - it's very rare for them to prosecute anyone for this, unless the gun is used in another crime subsequently. Why a rare gun charge against Hunter Biden could misfire Professor Stevenson has an interesting opinion on why this particular prosecution is going ahead, when it's so rare for it to happen.
  13. She's not calling for that at all. Where on earth are you getting that from? Maybe that's what you would like for her to be calling for, but it's absolutely not what she's doing. The only logical conclusion as far as I'm concerned, is that she's saying, we need to stop Putin where he is now, if we don't want to be drawn into conflict with him closer to home.
  14. I don't think he is: Leicester taking urgent legal action against PL & EFL
  15. Whatever you think of Thaksin, I reckon most people feel that Thailand's lèse majesté law is pretty outdated and would probably best be consigned to the dustbin of history.
  16. It's perhaps worth bearing in mind that multiple studies indicate that doxycycline has some efficacy against acute dengue fever. Dengue Patients Treated with Doxycycline Showed Lower Mortality And if you're wondering how an antibiotic could be effective against dengue, which is a virus. Effect of doxycycline and doxycycline with carica papaya on thrombocytopenia and leucopenia in acute dengue fever patients
  17. The issue wasn't whether he's doing a good job of it, it was whether we can know what his ambitions are. And we can, because he's made them clear on multiple occasions.
  18. They do, because he has been clear about what they are. He hankers after restoring the former Russian Empire as it was under Peter the Great. @Bkk Brianalready posted one link attesting to this, here's another. Putin’s history lecture reveals his dreams of a new Russian Empire
  19. Why would they? The manufacturers of other products don't provide a warranty that covers the maximum known or expected lifespan of their products, so why would you expect EV manufacturers to do so? For example, we have a vacuum cleaner that is still working, 5 years after we bought it. However it only came with a one year warranty. Its manufacturers are probably aware (from product testing and consumer reports) that their product can last 5 years or more, but that doesn't mean they're going to provide a 5 year warranty. Nor would I really expect them to do so.
  20. Make your mind up. First you ask him for a link. Then when he gives a link, you ask him to write it himself (which is what he had done in the first place).
  21. You keep trotting out all these same old myths about EV batteries (and EV's in general). This one - about fast charging, has been debunked many times Does Fast Charging Damage EV Batteries? "So is DC fast charging bad for the battery? The short answer is no, not really. Fast charging has little impact on battery capacity, battery health, or long-term loss of vehicle range. Several studies have been conducted to look for a potential link between fast charging and battery degradation. However, each study shows minimal overall impact on battery degradation."
  22. The manufacturers do. And not just expect - it's what they're finding is actually the case. Here's just one example. In the words of Nissan’s UK Marketing Director Nic Thomas, in an interview with Forbes Magazine: "Almost all of the EV batteries we’ve made are still in cars. It’s the complete opposite of what people feared when we first launched EVs—that the batteries would only last a short time. Many EV batteries may outlast their vehicles, then enjoy a second life in a stationary storage application before finally being recycled. At the end of the vehicle’s life—15 or 20 years down the road—you take the battery out of the car, and it’s still healthy, with perhaps 60 or 70% of usable charge.” Nissan exec: “Almost all of the EV batteries we’ve made are still in cars” Other industry analysts have also come to similar conclusions. "According to current industry expectations, EV batteries are projected to last between 100,000 and 200,000 miles, or about 15 to 20 years. This is quite a bit more than the average life expectancy of a car, which is only 12 years. In other words, EV batteries are predicted to outlast the vehicle they’re in." How long do batteries last in electric cars?
  23. Well exactly - having a full, five year visa for taking cooking classes or medical treatment wouldn't make sense. Which is all the more reason to suppose that this visa is not intended to allow you to stay more or less continuously for five (or 5 1/2) years.
  24. I'm not sure either part of that is true. There are different ways to read this. Yours is one of several possible interpretations, but it doesn't make any sense to me that they would introduce a new visa that would allow you to stay for 5 and 1/2 years at such a price when, as others have said, that would make a whole slew of other visas more or less obsolete. Also it's definitely not the case that you must be a digital nomad. The announcement is quite clear that this visa is for a range of people including (but not limited to) digital nomads. For instance, it also specifically mentions it being for participants in activities such as Muay Thai, Thai cooking classes, sport training, medical treatment, seminars, musical festivals etc.
  25. Finland was always allied to USA/Europe? Where the heck did you learn your history from? Finland was part of the Russian Empire from 1809 to 1917 and then, in 1948 signed a treaty with Russia, according to which Finland agreed to resist armed attacks by "Germany or its allies" against Finland, or against the Soviet Union through Finland. (Germany's allies of course, included the USA and most of the rest of Western Europe). Through this treaty, which remained the basis of Finno-Russian relations until 1992, the Soviet Union tied Finland into its security system and secured a guarantee that Finland would not join the Western bloc. Dismantling the Soviet Security System. Soviet–Finnish Negotiations on Ending Their Friendship Agreement, 1989–91 So no, Finland was not always allied to Europe and the USA - not by a long shot.
