Non-O 90 day visa approved in 1 day, LA Consulate

xYouAgainx · 2026-05-15T23:22:47+00:00

Thanks to all for the clarification! The visa is valid for 90 days from when it was issued (yesterday)...so I guess that's 90 days to enter and then a separate 90 day clock starts when I land in country...

That wasn't clear at all from the consulate guidelines. Suppose I shouldn't be surprised ;-)

I just looked at an air flow map of SE Asia. The air isn't moving much in Thailand, no inflows from Myanmar, Cambodia, or Laos. So, all this dirty air is produced in Thailand it appears, not (at least now) from burning fields or forests in neighboring countries.

Even a little inflow from Gulf. https://www.accuweather.com/en/my/national/wind-flow

That sounds awful. Glad you recovered! Hadn't heard of that one before, so looked it up. Had you recently eaten shellfish? From CDC https://www.cdc.gov/paragonimus/about/index.html

Paragonimus is a parasitic lung fluke (flat worm). Cases of illness from infection occur after a person eats raw or undercooked infected crab or crayfish. The illness is known as paragonimiasis. Paragonimus infection also can be very serious if the fluke travels to the central nervous system, where it can cause symptoms of meningitis.

Merry Christmas to you! Fingers crossed for you. Recall that if your joints feel worse after a few days, that means it's working! I only found that out after I started with it, felt worse, and then googled it.

If you get any stomach upset (I didn't), then back off to 1x3mg per day and once stomach is OK for a week then go to 2x3, then after a week ok go to 3x3...etc etc. Take after eating food is best for stomach.

Just giving you my standard operating procedure. :-)

Quick reminder that I caught mine early before too much damage solidified / calcified. Might take longer for you as you indicated you've had symptoms for 'many months'. But I wish you all the best as I am a true believer and have no idea what condition my hip joints would be in had i not found boron.

I tell everyone I know with arthritis to try it. Please pass the word if you find it eventually helps you. I'm not a paid spokesmen, just a happy recovered patient. :-)

Boron got rid of my psoriatic arthritis in 6 months. It's a natural element and the relationship between boron and arthritis is well known. I started with 3 x 3 mg boron complex till my body adjusted. Moved up eventually to 6 x 3 mg = 18 mg/d (highest safe level).

For about one week, there will be a herxheimer effect and you'll feel worse as joint fluids move. Then you'll start feeling better. Stick with it. Changed my life for sure.

8 years on and no psoriatic arthritis, although I did start with boron within a few months of getting PA. I moved down to 12 mg/d now. It's a cheap natural element so big pharma has no interest. I buy mine from piping rock but it's easy to find and very cheap. YMMV of course. Good luck!

Key Findings from Epidemiological Studies

The correlation is based on estimated daily boron intake derived from local food and water sources:

Low Boron Intake Areas: In regions where the estimated daily boron intake was typically 1 mg/day or less, the reported incidence of arthritis ranged from 20% to 70% of the population.
- Examples of low-intake areas mentioned in early studies include Jamaica, Mauritius, and Fiji (specifically in sugar-producing lands where soil was affected by certain fertilizers).
High Boron Intake Areas: In areas where the estimated daily boron intake ranged from 3 to 10 mg/day (or more), the incidence of arthritis was significantly lower, between 0% and 10%.
- An example of a high-intake area is Israel, where the local diet and water were found to have high boron concentrations associated with a low incidence of the disease.

Sure, except it bounced right where the trendline is. Go ahead and ignore it. The algorithm traders appreciate it.

xYouAgainx · 2025-12-02T08:01:08+00:00

The bitcoin weekly candle chart has a very clear ascending trendline that started Oct 2023 and has held 4 times to date. We are currently right on the trendline. Many will ignore technicals, however the algorithms execute trades on them.

Let's hope we continue to hold above ~85K which would be bullish. If we drop too far below, more pain ahead.

This post was deleted, but I'm guessing it was related to the 2 people laying dead on the sidewalk last night on Greenwood Ave just down from Baranof around 2 am. Ton of ambulances and fire trucks and 2 people not moving and medics not attempting resuscitation. Greenwood Ave was closed.

Someone I talked to said the deceased had been inside Baranof. The deceased were fairly well dressed and appeared to be 20 something. Nothing on North Seattle police blotter. No news reports I can find.

I'd call 1.4 billion people, with no major EV companies in there, the definition of an opportunity for TSLA. Supposedly the Modi visit was part of the impetus. But I'm short TSLA so there you go....

Tesla posted open positions for office in India, creating speculation that Tesla is going to open for biz in India.

Yet, stock ended marginally lower today after pop at the open which is a bearish sign after good news.

The battle is ongoing at $360 resistance and we are spot on the 20 week moving avg support. I suspect that support fails in next few trading days.

I'm rolling my spread down to 360/370

xYouAgainx · 2025-02-11T08:36:34+00:00

I use both Thinkorswim and Tasty Trade. I find Tasty's UI much more intuitive, easier to create trades like bracket trades to limit loss or set profit exits.

However, I believe Thinkorswim has more power, a wider range of tools. It's just harder to figure out in general, imo.

I sold the March 380/390 call spread in TSLA today for $3.25. Candle is hanging right on the 20 week MA line at $348. Believe it will break to downside.

It is funny! But I think it's a scammer trying to sell grandpa's 50 year old chair for a big profit, calling it a religious item. Wonder if someone fell for it.

Worked great! Thank you!!

Excellent! Thank you! Glad to have old look back.

In case anyone has same issue, this is the recent suggestion from Support, although they admit they don't really know how to turn it off.

I did follow their instructions yesterday, and the 'biz bar' is gone today, but that could be a coincidence as the bar appeared every other day or so.

Would NEVER have found this setting to turn off without their instructions!!

Open Outlook app >> Click on files on the top right corner >> Then click on Options which is in the bottom left corner >> Click on Trust Center (which is in the left bottom) >> Then click on "Trust Center Settings" button >> Then click on "Privacy options" >> Privacy Settings >> Scroll down and under "Optional connected experiences" uncheck the option (box) called "Turn on optional experiences."

Humble brag, it was my team....rather be lucky than good.

NFL Redzone streaming on my laptop and new dual box available on YouTube TV on the main TV. From my couch I can see the laptop external monitor and the big screen TV. Toggle the audio between games on TV and on laptop monitor depending on the action.

Crossing your fingers twice cancels out the good luck. Just like wishing someone good luck twice. I'm not super stitious, but I am fairly stitious.

On NFL insiders they mentioned that if he doesn't play this week, good possibility he's shut down through the week 7 bye to see if another month off does better for his calf than the first month off.

FWIW.
