Looks great. Want to watch it. Don't know how to (non cam) in Thailand. Described by some as the best movie of 2021. Yes that's Philip Seymour Hoffman’s son Cooper.

This doesn't pass the smell OR the smile test. Send a memo when (if?) they really want tourists back.

What's the Thai word for gobbledygook?

Henderson used to be on my own list of somewhat affordable but still with attractions places to consider in the US. Now my list would be more about living in a converted van which might be fun for some but for me would be a version of hell on earth. You can't go home again? Could be true now for low wealth people. Somewhat darkly ironically Mexico which is the top expat retirement destination for budget oriented Americans has recently greatly increased its financial requirements for residence and also harshly cracked down on people living there for years on visa runs. So maybe now we can say for many you can't go home again or Mexico either!

Yet another series about Nilsen the serial killer. This one focused on humanizing the victims instead of just looking at the killer and also about how severe homophobia within the police, press, and public likely led to there being many more victims than there had to be. Strong evidence is presented to prove that premise. A sub heading might well be Gay Lives Matter even if they're rent boys.

Now even more ridiculous! https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/01/30/rent-inflation-housing/ Rents are up 40 percent in some cities, forcing millions to find another place to live Kiara Age moved in less than a year ago and now it’s time to move again: Rent on her two-bedroom apartment in Henderson, Nev., is rising 23 percent to nearly $1,600 a month, making it impossibly out of reach for the single mother.

Nope. You're thinking of Johnson & Johnson.

Thank you. That's very weird considering you owed previous years (as I do). I somehow suspect that this is one of those "your mileage may vary" kinds of situations.

Can you please tell me what documents you were required to show at city hall when you paid? Just the bills, or if more what exactly? Thank you.

Canadian content. Wonder Years-esque.

Not everything good is all smiley face. Such as The Wire. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/jan/24/the-responder-review-martin-freeman-is-magnificent-in-tour-de-police-force The Responder review – Martin Freeman is magnificent in tour de police force Martin Freeman in a nightmare is an absolute dream for viewers.

I'm hooked.

Don't be so literal.

Those aren't infectious.

The fast neck twist freaks me out.

I think most people over age 60 should avoid traditional Thai massage Also the medical knowledge of the workers is usually poor. I've always thought they should promote Swedish massage here as a more relaxing and safer alternative.

Of course there is a shortage!

No. This is serious. Don't be boiling frogs. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/01/28/tennessee-bans-maus-snowflake-red-states/ Opinion: Current weather: A blizzard of snowflakes in the red states

They think their product is more attractive than it really is. Perhaps this is about the education system here..

There is such a thing as a middle way. Thailand will.never succeed as an elite only tourism destination but at the same time yes mass tourism can also be reduced.

It's too much. The vast majority will say forget the tests, let's not even go. Do they bother to do research on the feelings of the target people first, or don't they really want people to come in numbers?

No! The people that use agents mostly do so because: If their embassy won't do income letters its way too difficult logistically to meet the extremely nit picky rules to do the then required 65k monthly import. They sensibly don't want to tie up 800k here for five months and then 400k for seven months of dead money. I use the 800k method but face reality. The onerous rules as they stand are PUSHING people to agents and there are many people in immigration super happy about that.

Those that at this point are refusing vaccinations have made their choice. Its like a death cult for right wingers. You're not wrong to be skeptical about everything but anti vaxxers are objectively wrong. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/01/human-sacrifice-ritual-mass-vaccination/621355/

I'm currently watching Shrill (or as some might say the fat girl show) binging on the second and third seasons. There are plenty of black, gay, and Asian characters but as its set in modern day Portland Oregon hardly a stretch.

That's definitely the direction that its going.
