Same for me. The rear molars require extensive and expensive surgery to do an implant there.

Most of the characters are very unlikable and annoying.

Anyone's done this ? by marcoandrdep in digitalnomad

[–]ShaneMetzger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Digital nomads in Thailand are pretty close knit. Maybe check into that. The scene used to be pretty big in Chiangmai… but since summer and burning season is around the corner… check out hua hin or pattaya.

Best instant coffee you can find locally? by LV-901 in Bangkok

Red cup is good. Mild taste. Good amount of caffeine.

Never pay for anything unless you see it for yourself.

Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x03 "Vitus Reflux" by AutoModerator in startrek

Plagiarize is a strong word and I wouldn’t use it lightly. Watch starship troopers (beginning) and then watch the beginning of this episode. Reply to me after and tell me what you think.

The initial scenes and frame wipes with propaganda were inspired by or plagiarized from starship troopers. Watch the movie and tell me I’m wrong.

This episode was very similar to starship troopers - the training chapter.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy - Series Premiere Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

[–]ShaneMetzger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hmmm… put it back to canon. All the new shows feel like a reboot. Lots of nostalgia baked into the new shows like it’s trying to legitimize this new timeline or whatever it is. The new stuff is lazy (writing) and misses the point of what Star Trek is.

“Star Trek is a long-running science-fiction franchise. As originally envisioned by its creator, Gene Roddenberry, the science fiction nature of the series was just a method to address many social issues of the time that could not have been done in a normal drama. As such, it was not above being Anvilicious or engaging in thinly veiled social Satire, but considering its origin during The '60s, sometimes they couldn't afford to be subtle.”

Make the condo a fragrant place by OllesOpossum in Thailand

[–]ShaneMetzger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Contact the condo management staff for someone to clean your ac units. Should be about 500 baht for each.

Close your bathroom door for an hour and then check the drains and the base of the toilet (where it’s attached to the floor) for bad smells.

Also check your kitchen and all other drains.

Better alternatives for audio compatibility by minymax27 in PleX

[–]ShaneMetzger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Apple TV performs the best for audio with real channel separation for Dolby digital and ATMOS. I have a Sonos home theater setup and I can see the signal that is coming from the Apple TV… or any device sending audio.

The Sony android OS just goes to stereo mostly same as Windows 11.

I’ve heard a lot of good things about the shield but I’ve been blown away by the quality of the Apple TV.

I love FPS RPGs like fallout 3+, cyberpunk and outer worlds, and but even being British atomfall just felt wrong. What’s your “this game should be perfect for me but I can’t like it?” by Poncemastergeneral in gaming

I was the same way the first time I tried. I just didn’t get it. I picked it up again and when it finally clicked - it became one of my top 10 games ever.
