  1. He won't go no tariff. Even with countries like the UK, with whom the US has a broadly neutral trade balance, are subject to 10% tariffs.
  2. That's not how tariffs work. Tariffs placed by the USA on incoming goods are paid the by the person or company in the USA who is importing the goods. That additional cost will be added to the total price of the goods. The people buying the goods... US Consumers... ultimately pay the tariff. Americans will pay more for imported goods. Thailand reducing their Tariffs on US goods means that it becomes cheaper for Thai importers to import US goods. Thai consumers will pay now less for things imported from USA. Trump is trying to use the tariffs to effectively make "Made in the USA" products cheaper, driving up demand for them, and encouarging more manufacturing in the USA. He may or may not be successful. But it is going to be a painful process to transition to this new global order for trade. The "old" global supply chains meant that components for cars, airplanes, electronics and other advanced manufactured goods, would be sourced from all over the world. Those components are now subject to tariffs... making even products "made in the USA" more expensive, until supply chains can be adjusted to minimise costs in Trumps new world. Americans are not the only ones hit of course. These tariffs, and the increased prices American consumers will need to pay, means demand will drop, and other countries will take economic hits.
  3. It's really sad / annoying to browse these forums, and see trolls successfully starting arguments. It's understandable why Airlines would want to restrict use of power banks. Lithium fires are nasty, and are very hard to extinguish. Fires on planes are very bad. Quality power banks are not the problem - they have built in protection to avoid overheating, but cheap ones that would skip the protections can cause issues
  4. That's actually insane. What happens to the "key money" if the landlord goes bankrupt after investing it in some scam?
  5. It would seem that way, and might be obvious if it were one team working on both features. However, there is probably multiple teams involved, politics, workloads etc. Correct. I generate a new email "mask" for each website, yeah. I can choose for a random one that looks like something like 8*kshaj*@mozmail.com so that it provides an extra layer of anonymity, or I can choose my own that would look like facebook@*myuser*.mozmail.com. The Firefox Relay app tracks all the email addresses, and which websites they were generated on, so you always know what you signed up using. Seperatly, I also use a password manager to automatically generate and save long and secure passwords.
  6. I have an email address that I've had for many years. However, I now use Firefox relay for signing up to websites and for mailing lists. It basically generates a unique email address, and forwards any emails sent to that address to your main email. Because I generate a unique email for each website, it makes it harder for hackers to cross-match my accounts. I.e. they can't easily use data leaked from one website to attack my account on another. So in short, I change my email address both never and all the time Facebook has an algorithm that may match you through many different means. Potentially you both have set which college you went to, and your ages. However, your old friend may have locked down who can send him friend requests; so Facebook essentialy has to say "sorry you can't add him", even though they suggested the connection. Usual right hand doesn't know what the left is doing situation in a big company.
  7. There will be preliminary reports, and recommendations for immediate safety improvements where needed. The goal of Air Accident Investigations are to uncover the every aspect of what went wrong in an incident. The investigators need to fully follow every thread on every little detail of that night so that they capture exactly why it happened and how it happened. That takes time, and should not be rushed.
  8. I would doubt the Police General got any more involved than getting quoted by the press. Why was this guy singled out? My guess would be that one of the victims in the case complained to the police. And the Police used the most relevent laws available to them.
  9. The catch is that if you don't like it, you've paid money for something you didn't like Go explore your curiosity.
  10. It was one of the cheapest when I stayed. But that was during the last Christmas Holiday period. Yeah, the rooms are lovely and large. Alot of space, and as you say, like an apartment
  11. Yes, I stayed there. I took a boy back, no issues. Oh wait... I'm thinking of a different place @21 Saladaeng
  12. For me, I appreciate the innocence of it. It's idealistic in it's presentation of love, for sure. But it's a lot more honest to what actually happens for many teenagers first experiences. It's a little cringe, sure... but then teenage love is cringe.
  13. Season 3 is now on Netflix. Highly recommended watch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heartstopper_(TV_series) Nick and Charlie are the main characters, played by Kit Connor and Joe Locke.
  14. Technology is great. I'm very tech orientated. I don't think technology will save the bars. Those that thrive are adapting to the changing customer desires. Those that don't adapt will die with their loyal clientelle. Sadly for us Farangs, the adaption for the bars is accomodating the desires of Asian customers.
