If like me you normally skip advertisements on You Tube at the earliest opportunity, take a look at those in Thai, they have subs in Thai as well. There is one from Nestles for Ice cream which is quite a story in period French costume which I shall be looking out for.

Sorry, the troll posts distracted me.

Advertisements in Thai with Thai subtitles. I think that they appear within popular vlogs by farang living in Thailand.

I was just being a smart <deleted> ???? Having used an adblocker since online ads started cropping up I was genuinely stunned one day when I watched a YouTube on a mates laptop (without an adblocker), until then I had no idea how much of a pain in the proverbial they are as I didn't even know they had them.

Not everybody gets to see the same ads.

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place

I now see that my post is useless because ads can not be replayed, alsonif you can read the subs. your reading ability is already at a high level.

Making a 90 day report first time in a few years.

giddyup · yesterday at 10:15 AM1 day

I've been doing online 90 day reports for a few years, but because I'm about to get a new passport I believe the next 90 day has to be done in person. The last time I did a report at Jomtien it was only necessary to present your passport, now I believe there are a couple of forms to fill out. I have been at the same address for 16 years, do I still have to fill out a TM30?

Similarities of the Roman and US empires?

connda · 1 hour ago1 hr

Tacitus's Agricola (De vita et moribus Iulii Agricolae) is a short biographical work written around 98 CE, shortly after the death of Emperor Domitian. It serves as a eulogy and tribute to the author's father-in-law, Gnaeus Julius Agricola (40–93 CE), a Roman general and governor of Britain. It critiques imperial tyranny, the moral costs of empire, and yet how good men can serve Rome honorably even under bad emperors. Many themes could be transposed with the current US empire without any loss o

Is Russia feeding Iran intelligence as Trump relaxes oil sanctions?

bannork · 44 minutes ago44 min

Russia is reportedly supplying battlefield intelligence to Iran that could help Tehran target American forces across the Middle East — even as the administration of Donald Trump eases sanctions on Russian energy exports. A new report by The Wall Street Journal says Moscow has provided Iran with satellite imagery, targeting intelligence and upgraded drone technology during the escalating war with United States and Israel. Officials cited in the report say the intelligence includes details on the

In IMO - passports are outdated... - Passports are fragile - water, bent pages, wear and tear can easily damage them. For the most important document we carry, thats a bit ridiculous. - They are bulky - its a booklet that doesnt fit properly in a wallet. - Pages run out because of stamps and visas - so people end up replacing a passport that is still valid. - Border control still rely a lot on someone just looking at it - slow and easy for mistakes. - A modern ID card could hold biometrics - fingerprints, face scan, encrypted data. - A card format would make automated border gates faster - less queues, less manual checks. - Digital verification could remove a lot of paperwork for visas and entry records. - Cards would be cheaper and easier to replace if lost or damaged. - Many countries already use national ID cards - extending that for travel makes sense. - A modern travel ID could link with secure digital identity systems - you wouldnt need to keep showing documents everywhere. - Airports already use biometric gates anyway - the system is already there. - A strong plastic ID card would last far longer than a paper booklet that gets battered in bags and pockets. - The whole passport system feels outdated now - its like something designed for the 1950s not today.

As a us citizen with a Thai wife there is no option for Joint Tenants With Right of Survivorship that i am aware of and I have researched this to no end. I wish there was, but for me but and my situation it is a lengthy confusing process for the joint owner, my thai wife. to claim the remaining $ from the account after I pass. She can only claim 25% and the rest goes into the estate. If you can find a way around this, good on you. Just beware This is from the international estate specialist at Schwab "If you are a resident of Thailand at the time of your passing: A. The Designated Beneficiary Plan Agreement is void and the assets in the brokerage account will default to the estate. Beneficiary designation on our brokerage accounts is not permissible for non-U.S. residents. If your estate is probated in Thailand, Schwab will require the following documents for the individual brokerage account: · Copy of Probate or Succession Document issued by the Court naming the Executor of the estate. · Copy of the Executor’s valid Passport · IRS Transfer Certificate. o The distribution of assets from the estate is not allowed for international probate until after the IRS has addressed any potential tax obligations due from the Estate. The executor will be required to reach out directly to the IRS to apply for this document. This is not a Schwab process. Specific questions should be directed to the IRS at +1-267-941-1000 (M-F from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. ET or you may visit the IRS website for more information on filing requirements for U.S. Citizen Decedents: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/transfer-certificate-filing-requirements-for-us-citizens. o If your estate is probated in the United States, we will need a copy of the U.S. Letters Testamentary and the Transfer Certificate will not be required. B. Joint accounts are restricted until the IRS Transfer Certificate is received, unless the estate is probated in the United States. Ownership of assets in either scenario will transfer to the surviving tenant.

Dear Folks, I have, for many years, been so envious of the beauty of the British Passport. It is far more lovely than my own. For example: If you could buy one, which one would you buy? Alternatively, out of all countries on Planet Earth, which country has... \The most beautiful passport.... Aesthetically speaking, of course. How much would you pay for one of these, by the way?

Will Trump back down?

GammaGlobulin · 20 hours ago20 hr

Dear Folks, I have absolutely no idea how to create a “poll”, on TV. However, be that as it may be, what is your opinion? Will Trump back down? Deep in his big heart, Trump knows that the right move, given the reality of his situation, is to finally step down from his high-horse, and just….BACK DOWN. Do you think he is capable for doing so? Yes? No? IMHO, the answer is a definite YES. Trump is easily capable of pragmatically backing down, and getting out of Iran, while the getting is goo

Dear Folks, Ever since the Iran War came into full view, and since the time Hagseth, too, began flexing his muscles, in his too-tight-little suit-jackets, I have been wracking my brain trying to recall the image he most evokes, just based on my many decades of living. Then, wouldn’t you know it? Just about 5-minutes ago, it finally hit me. I know, I know, I shouted. Hagseth is the SPITTING IMAGE of the Dandy song, "Follower of Fashion", first sung by the glorious and very incisive KINKS. Thi
