  1. Could easily go the way of Howard Hughes. He does love the weed and wine; plus he can afford the best designer drugs. Wondering who the first actor to portray him in a fictional film will be? Maybe Tom Cruise, who definitely has a painting of himself in his "studio".
  2. "Usually"? You mean other than the 45 million first generation immigrants? And the 20 million second generation immigrants? This is the sort off the cuff statement that USUALLY marks the writer as having no clue.
  3. Yes, a silly example. Two actors fighting. Who actually cares? OK, maybe me...all I care about is Aquaman 2. And where can I read more about Amber and elon? The poor DCEU, Ezra Miller behaving badly, now Aquaman 2 in trouble. The Axe of Zaslav still has heads to chop.
  4. Yikes. You're concerned about dueling publicists, and their armada of web warriors, fueling an entertainment story? Wow, not hard to figure which pill you took. No, not at all. Just takes a bit of work though. Often the "truth" doesn't come out for decades, so in addition to a bit of intelligence you also need some patience.
  5. Streaming now on Amazon Prime, and thus downloadable. Also playing in theatres here.
  6. Full Moon Party = Soft Power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICh7xuxq8hQ
  7. Well that would be a first. He fails to mention this would require constitutional reform, which would require, wait for it, Senate approval. He senses limelight.
  8. The current 17th extension of the long-running COVID Emergency Decree runs through 31 May. It feels like this may be extended at least one more time through the end of July; just a guess on my part. (Death rate, school reopening) Maybe this will be decided/announced this week? If so, and there is no direct linkage, but I'd expect the COVID extensions to continue (through 24 July?) as well. Again pure speculation.
  9. and she hasn't been thrown in jail yet. Soft power. What a joke. Where they get confused with Taiwan, and thighland. Soon to be the hub of soft power.
  10. Well clearly the "Paraquat" lobby is poking the Industry minister. D'oh.
  11. Immigration have the passenger list (APIS/APPS), already scanned and highlighted within 30 minutes of the aircraft's departure to THL. While thailand is sieve-like for criminals, convicted drug traffickers and hit-men, they may bounce your name/nationality against their database for additional scrutiny. Maybe wait an extra few months to see how others fare first?
  12. Public works? DEFINITELY, Private construction, funded by banks and wealthy folks. Very little corruption, and a lot more transparency. Moral: It's ok to steal from the people, just not all the people.
  13. So it's 27 baht/liter? Then what in two months? IS there a plan? from the linked article... He disclosed that the oil subsidies have, so far, cost taxpayers about 70 billion baht, including the latest excise cut for diesel fuel. He also said that the Fuel Fund, which was used to subsidise oil prices, is in the red and the government has had to secure a loan to fund the oil subsidy scheme. The latest excise tax cut for diesel will cost the state about 20 billion baht in revenue losses.
  14. The Governor of Bangkok is the only elected Governor in the country. The whole thing is held together with threats, or worse, murder of their own citizens. Thanks, mark. And the constitution? Oy vey. A total mess. And the current pm is much, much, much more than a pm. He's granted himself, and had Royally conferred, many, many, many additional powers. Oh, and self-granted Amnesty in perpetuity. If a real PM were "elected" they'd immediately be overthrown were they to assume 1/10th the power prayut has amassed.
  15. Do you have broadband internet access? What inputs does this older LG TV support? HDMI? Do you care about language or commentary? You want to watch events live, correct? Are you willing to pay for a service? If so, how much per month/year? Can you tell us more about this TCL TV? Exact model number? Do you have a mobile phone? After all those questions, the answer is yes. There are services like tennistv.com which show all ATP events except the Grand Slams. You can find those pretty easily. Not sire about the WTA though. https://www.tennistv.com/live-schedule https://www.reddit.com/r/tennis/comments/oyt4v0/tennistv_subscription_worth_it/ https://tennisconnected.com/home/2022/05/15/live-streaming-for-the-2022-atp-tour-and-wta-events-in-geneva-lyon-rabat-and-strasbourg-and-the-french-open/ Maybe have a search on your own?
  16. Pretty sure you mean port FROM postpaid to prepaid? Since you say you are currently They won't be pleased, and will entice you with promotions and discounts, but you can do it. Yes.
  17. I'd still rather own TSLA than TWTR. Tesla makes something, Twitter monetizes, or attempts to do so, 280 characters. And they're far ahead of the competition. Now they've just need to secure enough Ni going forward. And yes, I'm surprised elon hasn't called Bill Gates "Pedo Guy", yet.
  18. Yes, receiving SMSes when roaming outside of thailand are free from all three providers here. Obviously you need to enable international roaming before you leave thailand. Although I'm not sure if you need an OTP other than to register/enroll? After that it's PIN or contactless for use. You may choose to disable mobile data. There are some videos on Youtube, of thais using this card outside of thailand. I saw a woman using it directly on the MRT in Singapore. This card displays the Visa Contactless logo (4 waves). https://www.visa.co.th/en_TH/pay-with-visa/contactless-payments/contactless-payments.html Of larger concern is: Does the SCB Easy app, which is used to 'manage' the card, work outside of thailand? I assume it does but no real world experience on this one. And does anyone have a read on the five transaction limit per day? Which transactions does that cover? Moving funds into/out of the card? Purchases? ATM activity? All? It's a brilliant card.
  19. Three months? Amazed it's not three hours.
  20. Ukraine war: Sweden and Finland confirm Nato plans in historic shift https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61456726
  21. "Baby steps" is what another member here says we should expect. The general consensus here is that you should ignore the reminder and file -14 online with your June date.
  22. What is your destination? Which country's passport do you carry? What is your vaccination status? Never heard of a fit to fly certificate, departing SBIA/BKK. Maybe best to check with your airline - they have info on their website. Also check with the destination country - they have info on their website.
  23. Yeah, I factor in reviews of friends and internet reviewers I've bonded with too. I take recommendations here under advisement only, then do my own research. Enjoyed quite a few gems. Look, I've watched and enjoyed hundreds (~500?) of David E. Kelly's courtroom/legal dramas over the years. Boston Legal, Ally McBeal, LA Law, The Practice, and other shows of his like Picket Fences. That I don't like one isn't all that shocking? BTW, it was cool to see LisaGay Hamilton, from The Practice, in The Lincoln Lawyer as Judge Mary Holder.
  24. Yet another reason we need those zero dollar, buffet-maniac chinese tourists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMVjskBB4w0
