advancebooking Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Sometimes Im bored during the day living here in LOS. Please name your top 2 with a brief note as to why Mine are as follows: Websites: 1. thetimes . co . uk Been reading it for years. Although its now heading towards being a tabloid I still find it good for British news 2. dailyhodl. Good for crypto news/ updates. With a bitcoin spot ETF coming soon I think everyone should be reading up about bitcoin and buying some. Podcasts: 1. Diary of CEO. Amazing interviews with many different people. Learning a lot about many health topics, for example. 2. Bangkok podcast. American and Canadian guy doing a weekly podcast. Mostly Thai related. Highly recommended Youtube: 1. Thai Expat Daily show: Irish guy giving excellent commentary on Thai related topics. He's not afraid to give his opinion. He doesn't plagiarise news same as TNT. Worth listening to this guy. 2. Bankless: 2 bright guys discussing all things relating to crypto. Has to be the best crypto channel on youtube IMHO. One can learn a lot from these guys. Over to you.

Popular Post Bobthegimp Posted November 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 29, 2023 As a young man I worked for the railway for a couple of summers. One stint was working on a steel gang. There was a guy operating a tie puller who got too far ahead and had to stop for the day whilst the rest of the gang caught up. Well, the young fella was alone in his machine, a mile up the track from the rest of us and feeling rather bored. There were no ipods or smartphones back then, so he decided to treat his body like an amusement park. Unbeknownst to him, the foreman walked up to the machine, climbed up the ladder, and found the operator sugaring his churro in the cab of the machine, like some of you office workers did on Zoom calls during covid. Sometimes podcasts and filthy YouTubers aren't the only option to while away an uneventful afternoon. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make no mention of AseanNow or Thai Visa? TBH, if you are bored in Thailand then you are likely to be even more bored elsewhere. Get out there and enjoy!

Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted November 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 29, 2023 Don't spend too much time on the internet! I find it fascinating when I see smart people talking on YouTube about negative internet trends. Obviously, there are lots of negative trends and if you are all the time on the internet, it's a good idea to avoid those trends. But if you don't spend much time on "the internet" and you are not even aware that those trends exist, that is the better option. Go out and talk with real people face to face! 2 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I don't really have top twos as I consume so much diverse media and what I look at changes often. But for the sake of this topic, I'll play along just for the heck of it. Websites: This one obviously. washingtonpost.com Democracy dies in darkness Podcasts Pod Save America Politics WTF with Marc Maron Classic Youtube 1420 Street interviews with Russians When are these guys going to get arrested?

SAFETY FIRST Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 (edited) 7 hours ago, advancebooking said: Sometimes Im bored during the day living here in LOS I'm lucky got a big family that keeps me busy. Sad to hear some of you guys get bored here 😮 I'm never bored, if I have some free time I jump on my PCX and zip up and down Pattaya and jomtien beach, pull up at a 7-Eleven or Thai shop for a cold beer, look at the pretties then off for another lap. I've got a new girlfriend, been together for a year and a half, she's busy with work through the day, evenings maybe out for a meal and a few more beers then off to bed for some special time. 😎 Edited November 29, 2023 by SAFETY FIRST 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Teavee Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) I'm not bored, but I do tend to get up much earlier than the GF so my morning routine is:- 1. Easy/Medium puzzles from https://www.dailykillersudoku.com/ (The harder one I save for if we're having a night in & she puts on a crappy movie) 2. Watch ( & do if their solve time is < 45 mins) the 2 Daily puzzles from Cracking The Cryptic https://www.youtube.com/@CrackingTheCryptic/videos 3. Catch up on UK News Headlines (https://news.sky.com/) & AseanNow. 4. (Once 7am hits) do the daily Plusword (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/plusword/) & of course Wordle (https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html) - I do this as a "Competition" with my family back in the UK so it's a good way to ensure we speak daily. 5. The Guardian mobile app for the daily mini Sudoku, mini crosswords & sometimes the full crossword (No matter how hard I try I cannot get my head around "Everyman"'s crosswords :( 6. Daily Thai tips from Banana Thai & Learn Thai with Mod https://www.youtube.com/@BananaThaiSchool https://www.youtube.com/@ThaiwithMod/videos ... And then back to AseanNow whilst she gets ready to go out :) Edit: Apart from Cracking the Cryptic, my other YouTube viewing tends to depend on what I'm in the mood for at that time, examples would be... 1. Lockpicking https://www.youtube.com/@lockpickinglawyer 2. Card Tricks https://www.youtube.com/@CardMechanic/videos 3. Computer Security https://www.youtube.com/@davidbombal 4. Network Security https://www.youtube.com/@NetworkChuck 5.
