Indeed, just reading a single line further would have helped you.  I am German, living currently in Germany, and on a quick guess I know the local law and its interpretation better than you.  As it goes:  "The left-pointing swastika is a sacred symbol of luck and peace in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism . The Nazi swastika was based on it, turned 45 degrees, and pointed to the right. Here is how German law views the symbol: Under Section 86a of the Criminal Code, displaying symbols of unconstitutional organizations is illegal. The Exceptions: The law has clear exceptions for art, science, research, and religious use. The Context Test: German courts look at the entire context to decide if a display is a crime . A swastika tattoo accompanied by other Hindu religious tattoos or worn by a follower of the religion is highly unlikely to be punished. The same tattoo on a person showing neo-Nazi behavior is illegal."</description><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2026 11:42:13 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>U.S. Supreme Court to Decide Fate of AR-15 Bans</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397858-us-supreme-court-to-decide-fate-of-ar-15-bans/?do=findComment&comment=20578574]]></link><description>NOBODY needs guns like these, including cops and National Guard.

Also, who is the Thai girl "partner". She looks as if she, too, cannot tolerate him.  I also wonder if, upon examination, the police cannot find some infraction to charge this guy with, and then revoke his visa.  There can be no doubt that the police do NOT want his type roaming around Thailand, with a lit fuse, ready to go off at any moment.  Do you think this guy is on Roids?

Im registered with Kraken crypto exchange for ages now. I recently logged into the platform and noticed they have a new investment category....  You can basically buy tokenized equity xStock of Nvidia, Amazon, Alphabet, Apple and Microsoft. What you're holding - When you purchase an asset like NVDAx on Kraken, you're purchasing a tokenized equity (xStock) a blockchain-based token that is backed 1:1 by the underlying equity and issued by Backed Assets. These tokens provide price exposure to the underlying stock and any dividends are automatically reinvested.  Kraken does not withhold taxes on tokenized equities mentioned above. Therefore if one buys and holds for longterm and makes gains and sells its up to the person to file taxes in ones country where they have tax residency.   One can buy with BTC or USDC. From thailand: fund thb fiat to your thai crypto exchange buy btc or usdc send to your wallet at Kraken buy the xStock  Clearly the issue is the gains or losses one is exposed to with fluctuations in the btc price that you buy or sell for when transacting with this xStock- in addition to the risks associated with buying these overpriced U.S equities.   What are your thoughts on this investment option.  Actually I would like to invest in the S&amp;P500 ETF but cant find one in Thailand]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2026 11:39:09 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Chinese Fugitive Arrested in Chiang Mai Over Loan Fraud</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397809-chinese-fugitive-arrested-in-chiang-mai-over-loan-fraud/?do=findComment&comment=20578566]]></link><description>The court bit might be ok.

You can have a Voltage source with varying degrees of Current (amperage) capability.   A simple example is an AAA, AA, C, and D-sized battery cell that powers things like remotes, flashlights, etc.  Think of them as mini DC chargers.    Although each is a different physical size, each size has the same output Voltage level of 1.5V but each has a different maximum Current output capacity which also means it has a different Power output capacity.    A 1.5V D cell battery has a much greater Power/Current output capacity than a 1.5V AAA cell battery....both same voltage.     Unless running across an "old" DC charger limited to around 400-500V the sDC charger you find now days will have an upper voltage rating around 900-1000V (probably closer to 950-1000) whether it's a 50KW, 120KW, 180KW, 360KW, 720KW, etc., DC charger.  Nothing really special about that voltage rating.     Well, if they all have the same upper output voltage level capability why can the 720KW charger put out a ton more power than the 120KW charger....the answer is greater current output capability.     Yes, high power lines feeding power across an area will be at a HIGH "voltage" because much smaller in physical size/weight lines are required compared to lines required to carry HIGH "current/amps."    Generating "high voltage" is much easier than generating "high current"...and also requires much smaller conductors.   Heck, we can drag our feet along a carpet and build-up static electricity on our body of up to approx 10,000V and when touching a door knob we'll see a mini lightning bolt jump between our hand and door knob to get a zap!!!!....a 10 kilovolts zap that although very high voltage but which has very little current/power capacity....our hand is not vaporized due to little current capability in the 10K volt static voltage charge.  Also, those voltage levels for the SL7 and Tesla batteries represent their "nominal" voltage which is 3.2V for each LFP cell times the number cells.   To fully charge an LFP cell it requires 3.65V.   So in a SL7 battery with a 550V nominal voltage that means it has 172 blade battery cells.  172 cells x 3.2V = 550V.  However, to fully charge those 172 cells (all in series) the DC charger will need to output up to 628V (3.65x172=628).....a voltage far below the 900-100V  capability of the DC charger.   However, unless that DC charger also has the current (amps) capability to provide the BMS EV battery requested current level of X-amps and volts, the power output will fall short since voltage and current must work hand-in-hand to provide power.  Additionally, you can have two identically sized EV batteries....say two 100KW batteries and each could have a different "max/peak" charging rate and completely different 0-100% SOC charging curves depending on battery design/chemistry.   While both will charge to 100KW, one battery might take 1 hour while the other 2 hours....each requesting different levels of power during the charging process.  During the DC charging process the DC charger and EV BMS constantly communicate with each other like the DC charger tells the EV the maximum voltage &amp; current (a.k.a. power) it can provide AND the BMS requesting a certain power level....both come to an agreement as to what power level actually ends-up flowing.  That is, the charger "will/can not" provide more than a certain amount of power and the EV BMS agrees not to request more than that.  If while charging the DC charger's output capability increases (like an EV sharing the charger finishing charging) then the DC charger BMS tells the EV BMS it can now provide more power if still needed and does the BMS want it?....the BMS will respond with a yes or no depending on its SOC charging curve requirements.  Anyway, voltage and current go hand-in-hand for power.  Increasing or decreasing either results in a increase or decrease of power.  However, an EV charging system is design such as whether its a 400V or 800V charging architecture, max/peak charging capability, charging curve, etc., is another story in itself.]]></description><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_07/image.png.bad9188330217a62e965e34cdf2df19c.png" length="29685" type="image/png"/><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2026 11:37:16 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Manchester Airport Officer's Fury 'You Beat Me Then Played The Victim'</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397642-manchester-airport-officers-fury-you-beat-me-then-played-the-victim/?do=findComment&comment=20578561]]></link><description>Neither I nor the post I responded to mentioned the sentencing guidelines.
