  1. https://kyivindependent.com/peskov-russia-considering-variety-of-options-on-how-to-respond-to-alleged-ukrainian-drone-attack/ Peskov: Russia considering 'variety of options' on how to respond to Kremlin drone attack you know, Ukrainians are really scared about these threats. there are even rumours making the rounds that Russians are going to bomb Ukraine or going to invade and kill Ukrainians. crazy, right ?
  2. or infiltrated Ukrainians, or Russian partisans ... or or or
  3. some people will claim it was God's will to make everyone suffer unnecessarily.
  4. all depends on how the basket is composed and where retail prices were measured. typically, these baskets are out of touch with reality all around the globe.
  5. this is an area of the economy where the market works very well, salaries will adjust if needed.
  6. another series I recently watched: Red rose ** UK series about youths threatened by a dangerous phone app. I definitely needed subtitles! Interesting premise, but I felt the story was "schlepping" to borrow from Yiddish. Watched the first episode and then part of the second and the series failed to hook me. The story is interesting, but the way it was treated made me feel like the series didn't use it to its full potential, I hope something similar gets made, but this time with an app with much much darker motives.
  7. some more I have been watching: The old man ** an old man with a dark background. the story has a few good twists, but didn't impress me. the acting isn't stellar, I disliked the lead actor playing the "old man". The peripheral *** near-future sci fi. interesting premise, and story ok if the public is willing to overlook scenario weaknesses. Star Trek Picard 3rd season * awful. geriatric cast, retarded scenarios, magic science, deus-ex machinas, plot holes, bad acting, yuck. (and I generally like Star Trek) Ms. Marvel *** maybe **** for very young audiences (< 14y) Marvel for schoolgirls. Nice visuals, heart warming story, teaches tolerance, caricatural "bad people", etc. I felt a little out of place watching it as an adult. Poker Face **** I have only watched the first episode so far. Well made thriller, plot works. Reminiscent of Fargo. I'll watch the next episodes when I feel more like it. I'm a bit tired of that kind of story, so I'm probably not giving it all the attention it deserves. The offer **** A series about the making of the movie "The Godfather". Well made, entertaining. The night agent **** US agent thriller. Not very imaginative, but well made, solid entertainment.
  8. damn, I didn't think of that. do you know any good forum where I could ask ?
  9. just comparing in terms of like/dislike and if I keep it on my NAS after watching or not. yes, I agree about Rufus Sewell, The Man in the High Castle was a good series, interesting plot. It didn't achieve a permanent place on my NAS though. The beginning of the series was good, in the middle it meanders and I feel the ending was rushed. **** nevertheless ????
  10. the US Diplomat is a clear winner for me, although the UK series has prettier landscapes. but the UK series has a very shaky handheld camera, made me feel a bit seasick at times. didn't like the plot or the characters, I didn't finish episode 1. I'll free up the space on my NAS.
  11. we're not forced to stay in heavily polluted areas though.
  12. I tend to notice only what I am interested in, sometimes not even that ???? thanks for all the replies
  13. can anyone recommend a shop selling cheap reading glasses off the rack ? looking for 40, 60, 80 baht type of glasses
  14. what a doofus Trump is. but Turnberry is nice, great links. played it when I toured Scotland in 1988. St Andrews, Carnoustie, Gleneagles ... today that would be mission impossible.
  15. easy, only accept deliveries for which the buyer sent a copy of the order summary beforehand.
  16. you might want to delete that video, I believe you might be exposed to prosecution in Thailand
  17. it's a quicktime .mov video file. some deficient browsers won't show it. chrome !!! 555
  18. I watched "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" https://www.netflix.com/th-en/title/81518991 https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/park-eun-bins-extraordinary-attorney-woo-sparks-autism-debate-512262 it's a bit difficult to describe in a few words. the series is extremely well-made, lots of attention to detail and clear images, the actors are very good. it's not a thriller, it's lighthearted, giving fuzzy warmth from time to time but also touches darker topics. I was curious to see how a Korean show would treat that subject and also wanted to see more of Korean society than "Squid Game" (*****), "Hellbound" (***) and "My Name" (****) showed me. the article on wionews.com is correct in saying that the character Woo is unrealistic, but there would be no show with a realistic one. it's more like a pot pourri where autistic persons will recognize some of their traits. I'd give it **** . I will be watching season 2.
  19. and is the non-American one as good as the American one ? ????
  20. I have been watching "designated survivor" with Kiefer Sutherland, finished S01, now starting S02 The first half of S01 was good, and then at episode 14 I got irritated by illogical details, so much in fact that I actually checked wikipedia so see if there had been a change in writers or scenarists, and then read that the series had at first been sold to ABC as 13 episodes. aha, gotcha. The first 13 episodes were good, but then the story loses depth and intrigue. The series remains very watchable after that point though. One thing that already came up several times in what I watched of Designated Survivor so far was that Russia wants to attack Ukraine, even massing troops on the border. eerie premonition.
  21. Watched E1 today and then stalled during E2. I won't be watching this series, it's too far removed from reality and logic for me, and I dislike the visuals.
