Just finished Dept Q. British police procedural based on Danish novel. It was a little rough at the beginning as the characters aren't particularly likeable but in the end it won me over, even if the plot is more than a little far fetched. I downloaded the complete season from 133x but there were no subtitles included, so I had to download them from OpenSubtitles. org. and imbed them using Any Video Converter.

It's certainly more of the same. I almost skipped it but it was more entertaining that I had expected. All in all it's pretty mediocre, but considering what else is out there...

Don't worry, you can still smoke weed from 2-5

I admit Thailand has lost a lot of its charm. Years ago, its selling points were its liberal visa situation, cheap cost of living, friendly locals, and the fact that it was so easy to move here and settle in. You can rent a fully furnished apartment no questions asked for much less than in most other countries and the big cities catered to foreigners, no matter what their situation. Also, it was inherently interesting because it was so different from the West, the sights, the smells (not including the garbage), the atmosphere. It had a uniqueness that you didn't find anywhere else. But prosperity has changed all that. Now the poor have been driven out of the city, in most places the vendors are gone, and the central part of the city has become just like big cities anywhere else. The visa situation is ridiculous -- not just financial requirements but the constant eviseration of your freedom, the need for long-term leases, the useless 90-day reports, frequently shifting rules, and now the tax situation. You can defend these practices if you like but this isn't the Thailand that many of us signed up for. Unfortunately, Thailand is not the only place that has changed. The debt tsunami has swept the world, bringing overdevelopment tomost places, a rising cost of living, cities that now mainly pander to the rich. As a result, I think, many of the older foreigners remain out of inertia and the reluctance to master the learning curve that would required somewhere else. Or maybe out of nostalgia for the way life used to be. And you can't be sure you'll actually be happier anywhere else.

A lot of supply was built though and prices have already started dropping. It doesn't help that Joe Rogan moved all his comic buddies there and they've been publically calling the place a s***hole.

It's true that some offices will reject an extension from offices on a blacklist but agents can find a way around this I was told, though it involves getting an extension at an approved office first and then your desired office the following year. Of course at Jomtien (and other offices) you could probably bribe them yourself

The problem with Peacemaker is that the first season is kind of hit-or-miss. It's only in the second season that it begins to jell and what's good about it is that it's not really a superhero or Marvel hero or whatever story. It's turns into an ensemble piece about resistance to arbitrary authority and a burgeoning dictatorship. A bunch of misfits who decide to work together. As a result, many of the characters who were off-putting in season 1, now give you a reason to be invested in them (especially Ads). I should add though that I don't think there's going to be a season 3, which might be a reason not to watch it.

I didn't like jessica jones, I stopped watching the Boys, Peacemaker season 2 was much better than season 1 and the finale was unexpectedly good (and I'm usually not a fan of John Cena but this was a role that was perfect for him)

I thought he meant she had represented herself as single and he only found out she was married from a 3rd party (which was confirmed by the daughter)

A couple of recent action movies for anyone who might be interested: Striking Rescue, which stars Tony Jaa. Remember him? I don't think I've seen a movie of his since he flamed out with that Medieval Cambodian epic but I have to say he is back to form in in this. He plays a man out for revenge against the kingpin who murdered his wife and daughter but ends up as the inadvertant protector of the man's daughter when he rescues her from a kidnapping. The movie itself isn't that great but the action scenes are the old-style Tony Jaa with lots of Muay Thai. Prisoner of War: This is a Scott Adkins film, who has been making b-level martial action films for years now. This is one of his better ones though, as he is taken prisoner during World War II by the Japanese and is forced to fight the prison guards skilled in karate to survive. A hackneyed plot but it gives Adkins the chance to really show off his martial arts skills.

It would help if all the characters weren't so horrible

You can activate Fidelity debit cards online. Also be sure to set up Google Voice before you leave the USA for 2fa

37 percent of Americans believe God created humans in their present form within the last 10,000 years, according to a Gallup poll. 71 percent believe that heaven exists. 25 percent believe Covid was planned by Elite globalists. 26 percent believe the Sun revolves around the Earth. 20 percent believe the deep state is controlled by an elite pedophile ring. Most Americans don't have a clue about what's going on in the world.

If you go to the top of the page and click on the currency icon, you'll see the choice to view the basic price or the total price on Agoda. Booking.com, on the other hand, uses surveillance pricing, which means the price will change depending on a variety of personal factors (location, how you access the site etc.)

The lease and utility bill both confirm residence. So I can just upload photos of them, assuming they're acceptable.

They only asked for confirmation of the address. Actually, I moved, so I put in my new address without any verification. Approval is pending. I'll see what happens. When I set up the account, I had to submit a photo of my passport, of course, but I'm pretty sure I used the utility bill for proof of address.

I also got one. I was thinking of using my lease or maybe my internet utility bill, though the address is in Thai.

I've come to the conclusion that you're actually nothing but a troll. I doubt that you even believe half of the stuff you post on here. It's just a ruse to entertain yourself by getting members to leap at your anti-vax bait.

This forum becomes more and more bonkers. Is everybody on it in the throes of delerium?

Now you're just being funny, or trying at least

They're also talking about VPN'S, as are several states in the US

In principle, you can't open an account if you live abroad. You can use a US address to open an account but if they detect that you're abroad or using a VPN, you won't be able to apply online. You'll have to send in an application and then they'll send you back a confirmation at your US address, which you have to sign and return. I inherited some money from my mother who had a Vanguard account and the only way I could get it was by opening an account of my own and then transferring the money. It was a major headache. Each time I called, I'd get a different story from a representative. One told me Thailand on a banned list and i couldn't open an account if I lived here. So I tried using a US address but they detected I was using a VPN, so I couldn't apply online. I had to mail the application in. Then a confirmation came to my US address, which I was supposed to sign and return. One representative told I'd have to come into the offiice to open an account (!). Fortunately, I was able to talk to a manager who personally supervised the opening of an account and the transfer of the funds. But even though I was using an US address, the account remained restricted. So I just had Fidelity transfer the funds to my Fidelity account. Dealing with Vanguards was a major headache. They're really set up for buy-and-hold investors using their mutual funds, so they don't really have the infrastructure for dealing witih expats. In my opinion, Scwab or Fidelity is a much better choice.

You can have a Vanguard account if you live on Thailand but you can't trade online. You have to call to make trades. It's the most unfriendly brokerage for expats

According to my app, my limitis 50,000 per transaction and 200,000 per day, which is fine with me. But I am thinking of buying a new phone and according to the notification I received a facial scan is necessary for installing the app on a new device.

That's good to hear. I don't like the facial recognition approach because my phone doesn't handle it well and I don't particularly need it except that apparently it is required when you change your device. That's my only concern.
