According to the full article that is linked to, the abuse only came to light after the girl missed her period and told her aunt about it (and how it had been going on for four years). The mother was apparently unaware of what had been going on until after the girl told her aunt.

The issue isn't whether to get treatment for anxiety, it's about whether, having experienced anxiety (and not having been treated for it yet) it needs to be declared as a pre-existing condition when applying for health insurance.

Thaksin didn't raise the amount from 200,000 to 800,000. In 2003, while he was in power, it was raised from 600,000 to 800,000. It was raised from 200,000 (to 400,000) in 1998. See post below from the late, great UbonJoe.

Did you miss the part where it's been established that nobody involved in these claims actually knows whether there are any tapes? All we have so far, is Chuck Grassley talking about an unverified, uncorroborated tip from an unidentified "confidential human source" who claimed that there was somebody who had some tapes. There is as yet, no evidence that these tapes actually exist, as both Jim Jordan and Ron Johnson have acknowledged.

The problem with this story of tapes "proving" the whole Joe Biden-Burisma bribery scheme is that there's no evidence the tapes actually exist. As that article also points out:

They should, but no other politician is accused of: holding on to government documents for a year and a half after being asked to return them, lying to investigators about them, obstructing an investigation into their whereabouts, inducing his own lawyers to make false declarations about them or showing national defence documents to unauthorised persons.

It depends within which jurisdiction the offence takes place. For example, in the US it is, in the UK it is not (unless the 'anything else' is a penis).

Yes, that's exactly what I did, three years ago. No need to leave the country, no need to go through the multi-step process outlined above. Just be aware that the paperwork required for a marriage extension is appreciably more voluminous than for a retirement extension. It's not quite as burdensome (IMHO) as some would have you believe, though. I don't find it particularly troublesome at all. The only part that I find a little bit of a hassle is having to sign every single sheet of paper (and there's a lot of them). Still, that probably takes less than 5 minutes all in all so it's not really that big of a deal - to me at least. I did this in Hua Hin and it was an extremely straightforward process. I was half expecting them to ask me some questions about why I was changing and/or possibly give me a little bit of a hard time about it but not at all. They didn't ask me a single question or make any kind of fuss, they just took the paperwork and processed it without demur.

I'm not sure about how the technicalities of it work, but the articles I've read (unless they're somehow mistaken) all say that it can charge to 100% in six minutes. Here's another quote from the same AutoCar article, talking about the 35 kWh battery. I see that the fastest chargers around at the moment are 350 kW so if I understand how the figures you give work, that apparently means they've found a way to charge a battery without any losses?

I'm not quite sure what you're referring to. According to all the articles about it (and there are a bunch of them) this new fast-charging battery does not require a new breed of chargers, nor to charge at a higher Kw rate. The articles all make a point of saying it will fully charge in 6 minutes using existing chargers. As the article below from AutoCar states: Lotus Elise S1 reborn as rapid-charging EV sports They also all say that it will be available next year. That is still a prediction but I'd be surprised if they're off by a whole 9 years.

Looking at the Khaosod article linked to earlier with photos of her with her parents and based on the implication in it that those who, like her, have benefitted from fast promotions, came from "influential and wealthy families with prestigious backgrounds," it appears quite possible that her family are rather well-off.

Battery technology seems to be making advances almost every day now. This looks like a really promising development - a battery using existing recharging infrastructure that: According to the article below, it should be available next year in a Lotus Elise model. Electrified Lotus Elise Charges To 100% In 6 Minutes It doesn't have a particularly spectacular driving range at 250 km but it's also smaller and lighter than current batteries and since this is only the first iteration of it, they will no doubt be working on increasing the range in future (probably by making bigger and heavier versions).

It depends which country's definition you're using. It would be rape in the US, where this is defined as: However in the UK, where rape requires penetration by a penis, this would be classed as, "Assault by penetration."

If there is "very strong and credible evidence that joe biden was taking money from the Ukraine" then it certainly isn't contained in what Chuck Grassley is saying. All we've got from Grassley is an allegation that a Ukrainian businessman, who allegedly made payments to the Bidens, claims to have recordings of him talking to Hunter and Joe Biden. Furthermore, the only basis for this is an FBI FD-1023 document which as several people have pointed out, is a document used for unverified reports from confidential sources. If and when the recordings have been produced, verified, and we know what's on them, then there might be something substantive here. However there is as yet, no evidence that these recordings actually exist, or of what is on them.

Did you even read that article? It provides no evidence whatsoever of John Brennan admitting that it "was political." It does reference a Fox News article that the Daily Mail says was reporting Brennan had said something to that effect. However if you follow the link and read the Fox News article, it also does not provide any evidence of John Brennan admitting to it being political. All it says is that Jim Jordan claimed John Brennan's remarks in a closed door hearing confirmed to him (Jordan) that this was political. It also indicates that a democratic member of the committee who was in the hearing interpreted Brennan's remarks completely differently to how Jordan did. Neither the Daily Mail article nor the Fox News article contain any information about what John Brennan's actual words were. All we have are Jim Jordan's claims about what his words amounted to.

Comer is the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, the body that is being used to propagate all the (as yet unfounded) allegations about a Biden influence peddling scheme. So you're basically responding to a post about the allegations against Joe Biden and admitting to being clueless about the entire basis of the subject.

Even James Comer, who is the main person pushing the allegations against Biden, has admitted that they have no actual evidence of anything illegal having happened. Republicans Finally Admit They Have No Incriminating Evidence on Joe Biden He also conceded that they can no longer find the "whistleblower" whose allegations form the basis of their case. Republican Admits Key 'Informant' Against Joe Biden Now Missing Talk about a whole load of nothing.

Sorry, I need to amend part of that as I had mis-remembered it. It was Pence and Biden's attorneys who first did a search and discovered that they still had some classified documents in their possession. In Pence's case, the documents found were immediately returned and that was the end of the matter. In Biden's case, a further search was conducted by the FBI with the full cooperation of Biden and his lawyers and (as with Pence) any classified documents found were immediately turned over. Unlike Trump, neither Biden nor Pence tried to conceal or withhold documents after they were discovered nor did they make false statements about what documents they had and obstruct attempts to recover them,

Because, as even a number of Republican luminaries, including Trump's own Attorney General Bill Barr have pointed out, Trump didn't just inadvertently retain the documents, he deliberately held on to them and refused to hand them back, unlawfully concealing and withholding over a hundred documents with classified markings even in the face of a subpoena requesting their return. In complete contrast, both Biden (and Pence) actually invited the FBI to come and look for any documents that might be classified, and any such documents (about a dozen or less in each case) were immediately turned over to the authorities without any prevarication whatsoever. As Barr states in the article below: Bill Barr on Trump documents case

Interesting - when I looked up 'Tokyo Sukkiri' I got directed to a Kohler model bidet seat on Lazada for only 1,650 baht.

So you think the Ukrainians should just go out and commit multiple war crimes, (murdering innocent civilians, sick people and schoolchildren) simply because the Russians do it? Yes, I'm definitely going to disagree with you on that one.

Absolutely not - deliberately attacking civilian targets (and especially hospitals) is a war crime. The Ukrainians must on no account sink to the same levels of depravity and criminality as the Russians.

The 90 day report has everything to do with leaving the country and returning. As evidenced by the receipt I just got from my latest such report, the IO who signs it is acknowledging that they "Have received Notification of staying in Thailand for 90 days" from me. (Emphasis mine). So if you haven't stayed in Thailand for 90 days, you don't need to submit a report.

What's that phrase about rats leaving a sinking ship? Trump lawyers quit hours after indictment

Posting a picture of boxes in an insecure location as part of an indictment that provides details of the highly sensitive nature of some of the documents found in those boxes, on the other hand, does mean something.
