The New ICE Engines..
We were considering buying one next year, after seeing what bugs get worked out in the first model year, but will be holding off a few more years until we know how the tax situation works out. In the meantime, our Hilux petrol/CNG dual fuel pickup with 400K on the clock is still going strong. -

Thoughts on the opening ceremony at the Paris Olympics
Can I interest you in a Number 5? Or, what about a Or, I have it.... A Kandinsky !!! Each one of the above is a MASTERPIECE. And, you don't need to have studied art to appreciate their magnificence. I know beauty when I see it. JS Bach, for example. Beauty in both paintings and music is easy to spot. You can keep your.... Felt. -

I don't remember how many murderers I have counted belonging to this tolerant religion. Unfortunately, there are so many! -

DTV issued
I am curious what a "sponsorship letter," in lieu of the 500K Baht, would be. I get the general idea, but ... the sponsor shows a bank account with 500K in it? -

5 year multiple entry DTV visa (Destination Thailand) from 2024-xx-xx
They would need to make clear what a traveler needs to show, if this is the case. Not that they would necessarily do that, of course. In the case of hassling people with Tourist Visas for "being here too much" - which ONLY happens at Known Problem Immigration points of entry - they refused to define the limits, and refused to give a list of what to show (beyond what the MFA said we needed, which "wasn't enough") to satisfy them. It is arbitrary. What they were really saying, was "Better pay my agent-guy to get in the next time, or else I will abuse my authority and put a Lie in your passport, as the reason I didn't let you in!" The rule may be, as before, "Avoid known-bad entry-points." But, maybe they have been told to back-off - who knows? -

Hunter Biden Seeks Dismissal of Criminal Cases, Citing Trump Case Precedent
Sounds like Trump. It would be tough to count all his lies. Or the ones from his lawyers. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/23/nyregion/trump-hush-money-trial-pecker-testimony.html Judge Questions Credibility of Trump’s Lawyer as Witness Details Coverup Allegations -

Very rare for anyone to be charged like this. Terrible. Hunter isn't perfect. But doesn't deserve this. -

My Blood Pressure Numbers are always Normal - I'm Confused .
These are not simple questions to answer, especially if the person asking does not have a grasp of basic physiology and pathology. I already answered the last question several posts back. High blood pressure can be secondary to a range of other medical conditions, or (most often) it can be what is called primary or essential hypertension. It results from increased resistance/stiffness in the arteries. Genetic pre-disposition is a common factor. Diet and lifestyle can be risk factors as well. See https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22024-primary-hypertension-formerly-known-as-essential-hypertension If by low blood pressure you mean blood pressures at the lower end of normal, or even slightly under, all it tells you is that this person does not have hypertension. Genuine hypotension -- blood pressure well below normal range -- has a wide range of causes. The most common causes would be hemorraghic blood loss and dehydration, but there are many others as well.
