    I'm with you on this one Atlas, and my solution is to simply leave that item blank, while looking bemused at the immigration officer who will find the correct number to put in there. Half the time I can't read their writing anyway, so it works out. Sent from my LON-L29 using Tapatalk
  2. Maybe Friendship first floor on the left. Lots of bagged tobacco on display there. Sent from my LON-L29 using Tapatalk
  3. Should be fine. Have a friend off khao talo who uses TRUE and he's happy with it. Sent from my LON-L29 using Tapatalk

    Nord VPN

    I use NordVpn exclusive and quite satisfied with it. When you connect out of country, check the usage percentage. Pick the lowest. If the usage percentage continues to grow your connection might start acting unreliably. I'd go back to the VPN I chose and check the percentages of the servers in that country. Sometimes they all get highly utilized. In that case, find another VPN in that country or elsewhere. For $78 USD for 3 (or 2) years, it's a great package that requires a bit of monitoring.. For me, it's the only VPN that gives me access to all the content Netflix hides by VPN checking
  5. Have you tried the bacon butties at Le Pub. It's the only place I've had one, and now I order it whenever I am there and hungry. Having nothing to compare against, I don't know where it lands in the bacon buttie universe, but it's my favorite there.
  6. I have a smart watch with a microphone and motion detector. It works with an app on my phone, called "Sleep as Android". It records snoring, movement, pulse rate and categorizes one's sleep as deep, REM, or light. It also detects periods where you may have fallen asleep and asks you later if, in fact, you were sleeping. This usually covers the time I am driving long distances (kidding!). Anyway, it's good at analyzing your sleep, and having the smart watch do the monitoring is much more accurate than a PC monitoring you from a distance. You can also use it without a smart watch, but you nee
  7. Amazon is selling them for $34 plus 8% tax here in California now. I'm thinking I'll buy one. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

  9. Prior to my trip to the USA, my daughter asked me if there was anything I wanted since she was on her way to shopping. The first thing iI asked for was Crest toothpaste, regular.. Like the original. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

  11. Yes. Officially it's a B1/B2 visa or colloquially a "visitor visa". Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  12. On my trip to USA this week, I checked the box that I have trouble walking long distances. Thai Air and United took that to mean I needed a wheelchair for the whole trip. When I checked in, they had me sit and wait for a wheelchair. The guy took me to get my re-entry stamp, then to the priority line for search. Then to the gate where I was the first to board. At Osaka, my stopover, I passed by the wheelchair waiting, and went thru all the search stuff again. My wheelchair caught up with me somehow, and after that, he took me to my gate where I was front of the line, but not first. At SFO,
  13. I've read White Fang, The Prince, and Shantaram long ago, though Shantaram most recently. I have to say, it's a wonderful, engaging, story of an amazing man's life. Some question about the truth to some of his stories, but nonetheless, it's a great read. I concur, everyone who hasn't read Shantaram, and would enjoy an exotic view of the lesser known parts of India, should put this on their reading list.
  14. I wasn't there, but the purpose of the interview is an interrogation, so as polite as one makes it, the interviewee is still likely to be on the defensive. My wife did not complain about their tone or attitude, only the lack of information about what they wanted from her with regard to my visa status. I never bothered to share that with her. When 90 day report or annual extension time came up, I just told her I was going to immigration. I didn't feel that going into more detail was any value or interest to her (leaving aside my opportunity to visit soi 6 next door without a time constraint ).
  15. They denied her visa again. From what she says, they were more interested in my Thailand Visa status and either failed to find something they wanted, or think they found something prejudicial to her case. I feel like Josef K. in Kafka's, The Trial, confronted with unknown accusers who won't tell me what the crime is. In this case, they've turned her down without explanation for failures on my part that they won't tell me, nor will they give me a chance to defend myself. In the second of 3 interviews they couldn't find my valid retirement visa extension in my passport. It was there, just
  16. I'm sitting in the boarding area in Osaka waiting for my flight to the USA. No idea how long I'll be there. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  17. Well, the "system" (getting local Italian content into wider distribution) is working very well. Gomorra, season 3, episodes 7 and 8 were broadcast two days ago, and video files are already available along with English translations in the usual Dropbox directory. Note that these are small files as well.
  18. I'm with Bushcraft on this viewpoint. It's an overpriced roast commonly served every week, with bad precooked turkey (artificially expensive) serving to boost the price. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  19. Zipped are better for a whole season, but this way is good for episode by episode. When the season completes, I will zip all the episodes so that they can be downloaded in a single download. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  20. Is that the way you prefer them or should I go back to the 720p versions (usually 2+ GB) I always watch 720p myself
  21. After the dramatic finish to episode 4, there was an agonizing wait for the following episodes. They take a while to make their way from the Italian sources to the multilingual general sites. Hence, the long delay between pairs of episodes. Finally, episodes 5 and 6 are available in the Dropbox. Enjoy! Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  22. Are they uploaded yet? It looks like you have a bunch of books already, but I don't know if they are complete. This is great! Thank!
  23. Snorting wasabi works wonders too! Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  24. I just tried it, and it doesn't work with Netflix USA. Netflix detects it's a proxy or VPN which is will not play outside USA.
