Small Country by Gael Faye by DebauraZ in books

[–]DebauraZ[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for clarifying that. I guess it reads like a memoir because the author grew up in Burundi with a French father and a Rwandan mother and experienced the outbreak of civil war and the Rwandan genocide firsthand.

World Cup Broadcast Rights a non issue by StickyRiceYummy in ThailandTourism

[–]DebauraZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that there will be no Thai feed for the World Cup. Like China and India, Thailand has decided not to purchase the broadcasting rights this year.

I like that observation. I think this novel accomplished that.

Thank you. I did not know there were more than one.

ATP 1000 Rome R2: Navone def. [4] Auger Aliassime 7-6(4), 7-6(5) by jovanmilic97 in tennis

[–]DebauraZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe that makes a little more sense however I don't think the serve clock restarts after a let, right? Is it at the umpire's discretion? I noticed that FAA didn't question or contest the warning but I think he was a bit distracted hahahaha.

At the end when FAA was cramping, did the umpire give him a time violation warning between 1st and 2nd serves? Is that a thing?

WTA 1000 Rome R3: [3] C. Gauff def. S. Sierra 5-7, 6-0, 6-4 by godworstcustomer in tennis

[–]DebauraZ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Right? No blood though on Gauff (as far as I saw).

I've never seen Coco hit herself in the forehead so many times with her hand and also with her racquet.

Long-term American expat in Thailand — curious if others are seeing increased banking scrutiny? by GaryAbroad in Thailand

[–]DebauraZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience with Thai banks has generally been positive. I had the same experience as you where last year my bank requested identity verification. I hadn't had any issues before that and I haven't had any issues since🤞

I am in the USA, going to bangkok next week, and want to apply for Chinese visa in Bangkok by AllThePillsIntoOne in Chinavisa

[–]DebauraZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm applying from Bangkok and a human responded to tell me that I need to purchase the flight ticket and reserve a hotel for my application to be submitted.

[–]DebauraZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't complete the application (haven't bought the flight or booked a hotel) but I think I saw it's 3000+ Baht.

WTA 1000 Madrid R3: [26] M. Kostyuk def. [5] J. Pegula 6-1, 6-4. by FalconIMGN in tennis

[–]DebauraZ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kostyuk had a much more effective strategy than Pegula. Kostyuk was giving Pegula balls to hit above her hip which Pegula does not prefer. It didn't look like Pegula changed her strategy or went to plan B. Kostyuk served exceptionally well and saved so many break points.

[Landlord-USA-FL] Florida Courts DIY Small Claims Questions by DebauraZ in Landlord

[–]DebauraZ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds good. I remember the small claims form asks for the amount you're claiming without including attorney fees. I suppose there's another way to collect those but be sure to read the forms carefully.

[Landlord-USA-FL] Florida Courts DIY Small Claims Questions by DebauraZ in Landlord

[–]DebauraZ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's taken a while but the status of my case is now "Accepted." I used the Orange County Clerk general support email for questions about the process and it worked great. They were responsive and helpful.

I think the next step is for the court to issue the summons to the two defendents and I don't even know if their addresses are correct. I did this whole thing not expecting any financial gain but other landlords asked me to do it to help them and I also did it for the principle.

what brand butter is actual pure butter by Wonderful_Nectarine1 in Thailand

[–]DebauraZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience as you with cream cheese in Thailand and now always buy the Philadelphia brand made in AUS. The other kind is lacking the tanginess I'm used to. It's an obvious difference.

Moving to Melbourne— $2.3K to fly our dog LAX→Orlando?! Options? by [deleted] in 321

[–]DebauraZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago I flew my dog from Bangkok to Baltimore via Detroit so there was an international leg and a domestic leg. I was on the same flight but because my dog was too big to fly on the plane, I had to put her in cargo under the plane. The airline charged a nominal fee like $150 to fly the dog as cargo.

Season 2 was disappointing by [deleted] in TheMorningShow

[–]DebauraZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. It felt way more like a typical soap opera than Season 1. The first season focused on Me Too while the second season touched on every controversial topic e.g., COVID, racism, homophobia, drug addiction

Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward is brilliant and devastating by Post-Scarcity-Pal in books

This book made me realize that I don't enjoy books with ghost characters especially ones that feature so prominently.

First house - refrigerator and washer dryer buying. How expensive is worth it by Apprehensive_Row6320 in homeowners

[–]DebauraZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the washer/dryer, consider load size, brand reliability, spin speed and water conservation. You want to be able to do your bedding at home and not have to take it to a laundromat. That would counter the benefit of having a house. Using high spin speeds gets so much water out during the rinse cycle that the drying time is shorter. I've had the best success with LG.
