  1. Well, Comer's much-trumpeted presser promising all these "bombshell" revelations about the Bidens fell spectacularly flat, didn't it? As pointed out in an article in The Independent: Republicans offer no evidence of crimes at press conference on alleged ‘Biden family corruption’
  2. It's the export version with a 250km range. UK confirms supply of Storm Shadow long-range missiles in Ukraine That still gives them the ability to strike anywhere inside Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine, including Crimea.
  3. But "no evidence" means we have no idea whether she was kidnapped or not. It simply means we don't know what happened.
  4. Well, all I can say is that my daughter certainly didn't have a problem doing exactly that. She entered on her British passport, got a Thai passport issued while she was here and left on her British passport. She came back next time on her unused Thai passport (issued in Thailand) without any major problem. They asked her why her passport was unused, she told them and they let her in - simples.
  5. How do you know that? I haven't seen any reporting that establishes what happened. As far as I'm aware, she's still missing, fate unknown. Or do you have access to some updated info? If so, please share.
  6. It's hardly semantics. This whole thread is about how to get a Thai ID (and/or passport). To do so means following certain steps in order. The very first step is to have Thai citizenship. And I might be wrong, but the way KhunPer has worded it certainly makes it sound like he doesn't think she's a Thai citizen yet. Anyone reading his statements could easily come away with a misunderstanding of the basic principles involved.
  7. She already has Thai citizenship. She got it as a birthright through her mother, as stated in the OP. Getting either a Thai ID or passport are both contingent on being a citizen. You can't get either one if you're not already a citizen.
  8. RIP UbonJoe - surely the most knowledgeable and most helpful poster on this entire site. Whenever there was a visa-related question I always used to wait until the Oracle that was UbonJoe weighed in, to see what the correct answer was. He will be sorely missed.
  9. Even Chuck Grassley, one of the two main people pushing this allegation, admitted to Fox News that: Joe Biden bribery accusations So all we have are some vague claims about a "tip" given to the FBI by an as yet unknown source, containing some unspecified allegations about what may or may not have been illegal activity.
  10. I think you may be labouring under a slight misapprehension as to the purpose of the visit. They already know you're applying for an extension and they already know you claim to be living together with your wife, as a married couple, at a given address. They're there to ascertain whether what you're claiming is true. They don't need to ask you, they already have your application form, so (unless you plan on contradicting the info on your form) there's not much else you can tell them. As far as I can tell, they're basically there to check with people other than you (the witness and your wife) whether you really are living together at the address you've given them.
  11. The article is a little vague, talking about "malfeasance" but I'm wondering what exactly the ex-governor (and the other officials) were found guilty of. I thought the whole basis of this scam is that people were fooled into believing these devices worked. Was it the case that these local officials were guilty of more than just being gullible? Were they for instance, supposed to have known that the devices were bogus but bought them anyway?
  12. What the heck does this have to do with Trudeau (and when did he become a president)? I'm pretty sure the Canadian Prime Minister is not involved in individual passport issues.
  13. Well, I guess you really don't need to do research when you can predict the future.
  14. Not sure about it being typically Thailand - as the BBC article shows, governments and security organisations all around the world were fooled into buying these useless devices. UK government agencies and even UK military personnel were also used to helped promote the devices. So perhaps this was more typically British than anything else?
  15. FWIW, in the UK, based on models up to 5 years old, the MG ZS came in a fairly respectable 7th place out of 39 models rated, in a reliability survey published by what car.com. What Car? Reliability Survey - Family SUV's
  16. Yes, the code has to be entered on the Netflix app which in his case, is on his TV.
  17. There's currently no difference in content available based on subscription level, only based on geographical location.
  18. Another payment option is that if you already have a package with AIS, DTAC or True, you can add Netflix to your existing subscription.
  19. Do you know why your TV can't connect to the building WiFi but can connect to your phone's WiFi hotspot? That sounds a little strange. Unless the building WiFi is 5 GHz only (which would be unusual) and your TV only supports 2.4 GHz
  20. This is not a high speed train project, though. As @KhunLApoints out, it's a dual track rail line project.
  21. If you watch the video, it clearly shows how this elephant (and another one) were riding in the back of a lorry.
  22. Sergei Lavrov also mentioned that they'd be happy to have him work on Russian State television. In addition to RT, and as mentioned by Forbes, "one of Russia’s most prominent TV anchors and pro-Putin propagandists, Vladimir Solovyov, also offered Carlson a spot on his web show Solovyov Live." Tucker Carlson’s Ouster From Fox Criticized By Russia’s Foreign Minister
  23. Santander is not the only bank doing this. I'm currently going through the same process with NatWest International. They've only sent me emails so far but there's been a series of them and I'm currently waiting for one that they said will require me to prove my identity using an app called Hooyu. I'm slightly dreading this as the vast majority of the online reviews (mostly from NatWest customers) say this software fails to work about 90% of the time, refusing to recognise items people are trying to scan, refusing to accept people's names, etc.
  24. They didn't simply provide anti-aircraft weapons to "villagers" in Afghanistan, they provided them to organised militia groups known collectively as Mujahideen. Also the situation in Afghanistan was completely different. The country was suffering under a foreign invasion with the vast majority of the country united in opposition to the invading foreign forces. Also, two of the main countries bordering Afghanistan (Iran and Pakistan) were firmly in support of the Mujahideen and perfectly amenable to having weaponry supplied across their borders into Afghanistan. You don't have anything like the same situation in Myanmar. And the massacre being referred to in the OP was not in the area bordering Thailand, it happened west of Mandalay, so pretty much in the centre of the country. As I mentioned, the junta's forces are killing people all over the country.
