During the application phase are you able to message them to explain the documents and/or ask questions? or is everything just uploaded in a PDF? I wanted to explain my Tax form and various bank accounts and wonderif they meet the requirements before I buy insurance. -

What Actually Makes You an “Old-Hand” in Asia?
I started learning Thai with a Thai partner in my late twenties. By my early thirties, I had conversational fluency, and now I would say I speak at roughly eighty five percent of an adult native-born speaker’s level. I can usually follow conversation on any topic, understand the news on TV, etc. Does that make me an old hand? I’m not sure. I never thought of it that way. It has certainly helped me understand local people in ways someone without the language could not. Things are a lot more straightforward in Thailand when you can communicate properly. But it is not all positive. There are situations where I am actually better off not speaking Thai with locals and I have adjusted to that. Fluency means you also pick up a lot of mundane or trivial conversations around you that would have otherwise gladly gone unnoticed. Sometimes it also comes with higher social expectations, as people assume that I understand certain cultural nuances. It can cut both ways, you gain convenience and access in some situations, but there are times when blending in as an unknowing foreigner has its perks too. I do not think age is much of a factor in learning a language. If you have the discipline to memorize vocabulary and push yourself to use it daily with native speakers, your fluency can grow at any age. I studied Spanish on my own for a while, memorized a lot of words, but without anyone to practice with, it faded quickly. It reinforced my belief that age is not the issue, but consistent, real-world use is the key to success with language learning. Memorizing alone is not enough. You have to speak it, live it, and engage with it regularly. -

CAC calcium score 50
A score of 50 is fantastic, I personally have a score of 2000+ Drs in Thailand suggested it may be best if I had a stent, yet when I went to see a consultant cardiologist in the Uk he said don’t worry -

USA Trump Sues Wall Street Journal Over Epstein Birthday Letter Claim
In the past DT has (reportedly) reaped millions of $$$ in impressively short amounts of time from his small-donation supporters. I suspect that very soon (like in an hour from now?) he will be using media appearances to beg for donations to his defense fund: support your favorite president, fight the deep state, defeat the Biden crime family, the extreme far-left radicals, the ones causing whales to die of cancer, etc. The response (or lack of) to the child molester rep would be very telling. But wait, what if Fox doesn't carry his plea? Myself, I think this pursuit of kids is heinous. But I also don't understand the allure these guys have. It doesn't make any difference, the documents will either be blank or just pages of gibberish, so this whole "release the documents" thing the media is banging on about is just another "here Fido, go chase the stick!" ploy. It's the same as with questions: him and his will vocally respond but will not give an answer. -

USA Trump Sues Wall Street Journal Over Epstein Birthday Letter Claim
For me as a non-American it is ovious, that there is a very simple reason for this: they all are on the Epstein client list, be it democratic or republican policy makers. This is, how deep corruption (and corrupted morals) go in American politics. It should dawn on any American by now, that they are living in a swamp so deep, that there simply is nobody able to govern without having made himself dirty. What better guarantee for silence than everybody being guilty -- mutually assured destruction. This still does not mean that the guy sreaming the loudest that he would reelase all the files while he was in the opposition should get away with being a child molester and rapist. They all should be sitting in jail, without exception -- a good place coming to mind would be Alligator Alcatraz -- just an idea...
