I remember seeing my first drone at a music festival in 2010ish. Totally blew me away, pun unintended

Most of the countries that are deciding to join recently are getting absolutely eviscerated by the dollar when it comes to foreign exchange, they all have very weak currencies because the dollar is just so incredibly strong relative to everywhere else.

It's a lot more complicated than just that, but that definitely seems to be a catalyst at the moment

Which soap? I've been using Dove for everything for the past few years. Apart from the fact that it's really handy for travelling I've never had any issues with using it as both shampoo and normal soap but maybe I'm doing it wrong and I should have dedicated conditioner and shampoo

Thailand is full of western roid-heads and they have a decent online presence. Vigorous Steve on YouTube is a good starting point

They're probably just leveraging the good will they have as the plucky underdog. I personally found the app clunky and that the videos loaded really slowly, but I don't blame them for offering a lifetime subscription.

Either that, or it's just price anchoring and they weren't expecting anyone to spend $300, but it made the other options look cheaper

How Many Streaming Services Do You Have? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

None. I use Premiumize with Plex for fast downloads and a Netflix style interface once I have the content. And IPTV if I want to watch movie channels

I use EPG dot best. They're an EPG provider who give you lots of detailed information about each channel and show/movie and nice clean logos and everything.

You can filter large EPG files from your IPTV provider into much smaller ones that only include the channels you actually watch. The smaller EPG file means that the app uses less RAM on my Nvidia Shield too

It's not free and it's kinda finicky to set up, with a weird workflow, but it works well once that's done
