    Any idea if parts 6-10 are available anywhere? Sorry, just checked, don't think they have been released yet.

     

    It's available somewhere on the net since I have all 10 episodes downloaded.  I can't remember where I got them though.  At around 2 hours per episode, it's going to take a while to watch this series but I've yet to see Ken Burns' documentaries that I didn't like.

  2. Just finished first two episodes of Star Trek Discovery ... looks promising to me.  So far, more like The Expanse or BattleStar Galactica type of intensity and less like other Star Trek series to date.  Sonequa Martin-Green (who played Sasha in The Walking Dead) looks great.  A gal named Emily Coutts plays nice looking redhead named Detmer.  No Uhura (from the original Star Trek) like character though :passifier:

    Manhunt Unabomber on Discovery has been pretty entertaining.

    I just finished this and thought it was very good mini-series.  Last episode was especially very good. 

     

    Sam Worthington as the main character was great and so was Paul Bettany as "UNABOMBER/Ted Kaczynski".  Jeremy Bobb as Stan Cole was irritating as hell so I guess he did a good job as well. 

     

    Just not too sure how much is "entertainment" vs. true history though. (James R. Fitzgerald who was portrayed by Sam W. was one of the writer of the series and took a lot of credit on catching UNABOMBER).

    Tv series - American Vandal

     

    This won't be everyone's cup of tea, but episode 1 had me in fits.

    All 8 shows are available.

     

    IMDB: A true-crime satire that explores the aftermath of a costly high school prank that left twenty-seven faculty cars vandalized with phallic images.

     

    I'm now starting episode 5 of this "fakecumentary"... pretty funny show and Really curious how this ends (who dun it).

    Legs a favorite spot? Seriously? There are more nerves there than most places. It makes me nervous going in LOL. If you hit it wrong you'll be limping. The absolute best place for self-administration is the ventral glute site - it was made for it. Hardly any nerves and no major arteries or veins.

    I learned how to do it by watching a bunch of youtube videos and have been injecting on my quads for last three years or so (switching legs).  It's very doable and easiest place for me to reach as I have limited flexibility (due to ankylosing spondylitis since early 20s).  I may get soreness for a couple of days but never a limp.

    Narcos S3 3rd September. 

     

    ITunes rant. They told me 28th June or some blog announced it and still today fast and furious 8 is not out.

     

    My Mrs watched it in thai. Anyone know where I can see it in English? 

     

    You probably want to search it as "The Fate of the Furious"  ... there are many under this title since end of June.

    The maximum is 50k THB (20k USD equivalent in currency without need to declare).  So we have a real Goldilocks situation as far as THB are concerned.  Less than 20k is too little, more than 50k is too much, anything in between is "just right".

    I think you flunked math :)  20K USD is over 600,000 THB at current exchange rate.

     

    I don't have/use visa but I am American who travel on US passport and live/work in Singapore.   I have been coming to BKK almost every month since 2012 and have only Thai stamps (probably over 50 entries) on current passport.  I get 30 days visa exemption on arrival and stay for 5 to 10 days.  I have never been asked to show anything except ONE time when a grumpy lady wanted to see my SG employment pass ID.  She wrote down the number next to her stamp.  I do have and keep sufficient "emergency" fund in USD, SGD and THB in my travel organizer permanently for my travels.

       You won't die from low testosterone but taking endless high supplements of testosterone increases your risk of prostrate cancer considerably.  So there is a down side to this!  I think in this whole discussion I mentioned the risk of prostrate cancer several times but no one else acknowledged it.  So caution!  

    I think you are being a bit dramatic here.  A person with low testosterone can choose TRT in educated and responsible manner (to lower the risks involved).  Neither TRT nor periodic checkups/test are that costly and it can help to significantly increase the quality of life.

    if you watch the video she is on the racks for almost a minute before the train arrives, there are loads of people on the platform but all they do is stand and stare, no one does anything to help her or stop the train.

    did not see the video, but I take your word for it....it would have been a bit foolish I confess to jump on the track if there was electricity all within....a more sensible move could have been to alert the station staff, perhaps press on an emergency alarm if nearby....but then we are all much more aware after such any such tragic incident...

     

    RIP....very sad issue...

    Don't believe what the other guy said.  I've seen the video and looked at the CCTV time stamp.  It took about 15 seconds between her fall and the train arrival; and some people were waving their arms at the train before it arrived at the station.  I would like to have seen samsensam jump down in that time and try to be a hero instead of keyboard warrior spreading inaccurate information.

    Just finished Narcos Season 2…you know you're in the hands of a good storyteller when you're actually feeling for pablo escobar towards the end.

     

    Thought this was the finale, so to speak….but they have set it up beautifully for Season 3.

     

    Just started Episode 5 for me ... it's amazing that the guy playing Pablo Escobar is a Brazilian who learned Spanish to play the role ...

    On the other hand I find that if I use good Thai manners first, give a greeting in Thai and a friendly smile, I almost always get good manners and friendliness in return, even in a tourist-shocked town such as Pattaya. A little joking around goes far, too. So I usually have a pleasant experience. 

     

    +1 ... generally speaking, this has been my experience as well (although I'm BKK based when in Thailand).
