A few weeks back. Pumped a few cones with the lads after work.... took me 3 hours to drive home instead of the usual 1 hour !

It is a bit of a confusing topic. I have been using Google Pay for some years and found it quite useful. Google Pay came from a merger of Google Wallet and Android Pay but the wallet never actually went away. Looks like Google wallet has been revamped and now taking over from Google Pay. My understanding is that the new version of the wallet provides a contactless facility on an android phone for your cards so should work in any establishment that accepts contactless payment. Anywhere that you find Google Pay or contactless payment logos, you can make contactless payments with a supported form of payment that you stored in Google Wallet. https://support.google.com/wallet/answer/11951709?hl=en#zippy=%2Cwhats-the-difference-between-google-wallet-google-pay%2Ccan-i-use-google-wallet-to-tap-to-pay

RTP - Thailand's largest criminal organisation with thousands of members on the payroll. And that isn't me talking. That came - not in those exact words - from a UN report some years ago.

I previously thought one of your former post was the best. I stand corrected. Good job ol boy, Good job! How does the CIA survive without you? Shall I write a letter to the Director recommending that you be reinstated?

Also from the linked Source: “When (Manhattan District Attorney) Alvin Bragg calls it an election interference case, that’s more of a public relations strategy,” said Paul Butler, a professor at Georgetown Law and former federal prosecutor. Declaring the case a hush money trial made it seem less important than the others and “so they’ve styled it ... as a case about election interference. But again, what he’s charged with is falsifying business records.”

would he not be able to apply the rule where you can withdraw 50% after 3 months and top up his deposit to 400k, 2 months before extension application date? or does that only apply to the 800k 'gang (of which I am a member).

Google is your friend 😉

Phuket has about 25% of its population as foreign residents and almost 50% of its visitors are foreign tourists that it might as well have embassies with ambassadors instead of consul-generals.

The number of people who launch a tirade of protests after reading only the headlines is astonishing, Its almost as if they can't wait to complain

once when i questioned my IO about his misunderstanding about the number of months needed for the bank deposit to remain intact, prior to extension application date, he said i was a 'dark influence' (seriously!). Lucky he doesn't carry a Glock. 🙂

Justice Department jousting justifications is an unjustifiable maladjustment of justice which needs to be adjusted by the Justice Department..., that's just it.

1968 convention (original) The convention had amendments on 3 September 1993 and 28 March 2006. There is a European Agreement supplementing the Convention on Road Traffic (1968), which was concluded in Geneva, on 1 May 1971. Note that before 29 March 2011 the convention demanded contracting parties to recognise as valid for driving in their territories: any domestic driver's permit drawn up in their national language or in one of their national languages, or, if not drawn up in such a language, accompanied by a certified translation; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Driving_Permit

Indictments have been handed down against individuals involved in the so-called "fake electors" scheme during the tumultuous aftermath of the 2020 presidential election. These indictments, which include key aides to former President Donald Trump, shed light on the extent of efforts to overturn the election results in favor of Trump. The indictments stem from an incident one month after the 2020 election, where 11 Trump supporters convened to sign a certificate falsely claiming to be Arizona's electors to the Electoral College, despite Joe Biden's victory in the state. Among those charged is Kelli Ward, former chair of the Arizona GOP, who had been vocal in spreading baseless claims of election fraud. Other individuals facing charges include state legislators, party activists, and Trump-aligned figures such as Tyler Bowyer, Michael Ward, and Greg Safsten. Notably, Trump himself is described as "Unindicted Coconspirator 1" in the indictment, signaling his alleged involvement in the scheme. Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Trump campaign official Mike Roman are also implicated in the indictment, albeit under redacted names. The involvement of Meadows and Roman underscores the extent of Trump's inner circle embroiled in the controversy. The investigation, led by Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, culminated in these charges after a thorough examination of the fake electors scheme. Mayes, a Democrat, emphasized her commitment to upholding American democracy and preventing its subversion. These charges in Arizona are part of a broader trend of legal actions stemming from Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. Similar cases have emerged in other states like Nevada, Georgia, and Michigan, where alternate electors falsely claimed Trump's victory. The indictment sheds light on the strategy proposed by Trump's legal advisers, including John Eastman, to leverage the existence of alternate electors to overturn the election outcome. Despite Trump's loss in Arizona by a narrow margin, his attempts to pressure state officials and challenge the election results were met with resistance. Mayes' tenure as Arizona attorney general has been characterized by her pursuit of election-related cases following Trump's false claims of fraud. Her actions underscore the importance of holding accountable those who seek to undermine the integrity of the electoral process. As legal proceedings unfold, the Arizona case serves as a pivotal moment in the ongoing scrutiny of Trump's post-election actions and their repercussions. It highlights the resilience of democratic institutions in the face of attempts to subvert them, reaffirming the commitment to upholding the rule of law and protecting the integrity of elections. 2024-04-25 Source

I thought the headline meant the taxi driver averted a disaster by leaving his cab, wrong again.

My Canadian bank sent me a form to complete including info about my TIN. Now that is something I'll have to put down to short term memory loss. I'm wondering, do US citizens get asked for the same info. I know that there's a form which you have to complete for investment brokers here, which asks you to confirm that you are not a US citizen. Just curious.

"Laurence Fox took to the stage to make abusive remarks about Sadiq Khan. He called the London mayor a “dictator” before leading the crowd in chants of “get Khan out”. Well I would hardly call it abusive, to calling Sadiq Khan a dictator, he clearly is?

Solution of the year! And good business for brick factorys.

This doesn't make sense. If it's 34°C or 40°C outside it would still be 27°C in a room cooled to 27°C.

We don't know the history of the vehicle, you may be right, you may not be right.

Then have nothing to say about the topic, you should attack your opponent personally, right. These quotes are from The Guardian. The Guardian is also a Russian propaganda, okay, let it be

Just as Mao said: Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

This post did not age well, and the day is still young.

Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson must go!
