Agree wholeheartedly. Netflix’ Never Have I Ever a prime example. Paxton at age 16-18 played by an actor aged 30-32 over the recent seasons. And Julien (f) on Gossip Girl pushing 30.

Is it that one retired and a sea of smoke is the next best option for chasing the dragon?

Final last night. Cliffhanger again. I like this series although cannot keep track of all the relatively minor characters and keep going to wiki as new dragons’ names pop up. Convincingly changing a few key characters’ agendas and my sympathies has been a particular skill. I think I can still unspoil the plot by predicting that the first wild dragon rider claim deviates from the books, though I haven’t read any, because it would mean the showrunners confusingly adding yet again a new character. Premiere too late to the party for this year’s Emmy consideration.

Now we wait for a second illustration of posting cherry-picked examples to support a ridiculous and offensive stereotype. Opa, there it was already. Does anything get filtered? A clear bias unless prepared to match denominator neglect with the false assertion that Japanese male tourists in general are naïve. And two stories irrelevant to the majority of a broad membership’s interest. More than 2 such examples needed for a stereotype of blistering capacity to read the room … will 74 do?

Actually, Bogotá’s small Laureles district is but a few kilometres west from Venecia, a vibrant commercial and residential area into its own, where Spa Sexto Sentido is located. I believe I wrote about it.

So was The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, which reminds me to catch up with later additions to the book series.

There there, dear. You’ll find the way. RPReplay_Final1722818930.mov

I have a few comments. I also caught Bailey as I watched both CBC and NBC. Lyles won with PB incidentally and accelerated the best, so that itself anchors it, while Thompson a tad under his recent PB. Thompson’s first major international race, I believe. Lyles was clocked at 9.784 and I guess anything over 9.78 is rounded up although in other contexts it might be rounded down to 9.78, while Thompson’s was 9.788 or 7.789 and legitimately 9.79 rounding up. NBC wouid not show the formal equal 9.79 clocking within the total group’s times to the hundredth, while other broadcasters did. Maybe I missed it. That said, Thompson showed great poise getting the result and made the right choice to give Lyles his space, instead going to help up his countryman that had cramped up crossing the line … Actually aerial view suggests that Lyles veered much of his body off his lane in such a way that he would have struck the 2nd Jamaican towards the end if they had been shoulder to shoulder. Thompson made the wise decision to defer the congratulations I expect he would have liked to interject sooner while Lyles stayed on image, going overboard with his usual histrionics. It would have been a tie for gold at a certain point in the past but Thompson indicated the result was fair to him. Some of the bigger nations sure can trigger my schadenfreude fantasies.

Loving women’s sprinting phenom Alfred from St Lucia, smoking the field for win in 100m final and now in medal contention for 200m. Putting my money on Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson set for 100m men’s semi and final today.

And well Baño Turco Saint Moritz in Chapinero doubles as a non-pay bathhouse although the regular non-trade hook-up cabins leave a lot to be desired. But if you’re at ease with sleaze …

Glad to see in Yulo’s last pic upthread he didn’t shatter anything other than breaking through a ceiling for his nation.

Just ask Rodolfo for clearance to do a little stage performance piece.

What a dumb way to put the story. What does being trans have to do with it? The alleged victims weren’t specified as cis. In this day and age there are very few contexts where the distinction is relevant. In fact, very few stories relevant to context.

Yeah, this group should be shut down. There’s always a place for it, whether too young to know why or old enough to know better. 😏

Barcelona plans to ban short-term rentals (less than 31 days) by November 2028, the already referenced tourism over-saturation and affordable housing access for locals the expected rationale. Look up other cities, including Valencia’s apparent following suit, if you wish. The rulings seem to be municipal. Also Lisbon rumblings. However, the short-term Barcelona tourism inventory represents only about 1.2% of all housing, obviously excluding hotels. Incidentally, the plan also intends to limit new hotel developments. I doubt that current hosts are going to be keen to sell or rent at appealing rates after having been thwarted. This won’t solve any local housing crisis. Perhaps hotel rates will soar as they absorb the demand for 10,000 lost tourism home units added to the current hotel inventory of 40,000 rooms, assuming tourism does not abate. The biggest tourist subgroup losers will likely be families priced out of the market. Of course, 4 years is a lot of time to see how it all plays out. I probably won’t care too much if I can rent an apartment just outside the boundaries and commute in, as I don’t need action every single day and I have had the opportunity to see all the city sights I ever wanted. — In other breaking news, I am delighted to learn that a TimeOut Market (higher end food court, if you are not familiar with the playbook) opened in Port Vell with apparently a great view on top of the shopping centre there. This will offer more flexibility for time of day to dine without the necessity of planning, reservations, etc; I don’t like to eat late and jet lag always throws off my appetite cycle. First come/serve communal tables. I would likely pursue a meal before or after the late afternoon time block dipping into the talent at our DIP46. That said, I may be the one with a plastic water gun if the TimeOut is overrun with tourists. With a full kitchen in my lodgings a few Metro stops away, naturally takeout is also an option.

That’s it?

Rubbing out the rubbing outs rubs me as double negative, rub’n’tugs as per usual.

Last night’s final summer series 30-min display to Coldplay soundtrack. I thought at first these freeze-framed images reflected projections from the ground but they were random combinations of energy and smoke. Suck it, Olympiques!

For sure, most preferences and hook-up frequencies can be accommodated in Colombia.

Quiet lodgings may have more to do with location in a building than particular neighbourhood. For example, in a lovely Estadio/Laureles unit walkable to the Metro I could not sleep due to street traffic on a secondary north/south roadway, but moved following day to the back of the building, larger unit without balcony and with enclosed bedrooms further shielding from corridor noise, very peaceful. In contrast, on a main Poblado thoroughfare the street noise was so profound that it bled all the way around and over the roof to the back bedrooms of the penthouse I let. It was unreal. My home base is a bustling downtown zone so it’s not as if I have country mouse expectations.

OP, not shouting with text in caps, though admittedly I am suppressing that instinct. Since it appears Grindr will be your main source of hookups, why don’t you use its Explore function, zooming in and out of geographical zones and entering the data regarding quantity of profiles into a detailed spreadsheet? Book your lodgings in urban areas that have the most profiles by an arbitrary number of square kilometres. For accurate representation conduct these searches within windows of time that match the time frames you anticipate you will be seeking when there. After that, enter into your formula some variables related to free, pay, pay with discount, magnitude of discount, position, Metro card holders, Uber account possessors, and so on. This will help you to zero in on what I believe for you is the dilemma of selecting among 4 consecutive neighbourhoods for one-week stays in cities that I believe you have, thankfully, already narrowed down. Though I see that the local availability of purified water may now play an additional role. Consider all the above with the added factor of district safety ratings. Good luck, and enjoy. Board history in general suggests we won’t get feedback following your travails but will hope that doesn’t mean you met an untimely or unfortunate outcome. The feedback is important, though, as the majority of posters go for average-looking talent, trade or otherwise, and that’s a good fit given your agenda. I am glad you have mentioned attention to the view.

I hope your heart condition is stable or improves. Sciatic muscle spasm inclination is my Kryptonite if I cannot rely on bag wheels. I have mapped out a unique yet quick way to get by subway from El Prat to lodgings with minimal endless corridor and staircase luggage hauling.

Yeah, that’s the kind of strategy that triggers border inspection “accidents”. Apart from the fact that I refuse to voluntarily live in a world that requires that level of absurdity.

I have been searched twice as a Canadian entrant. One was fun because the young Montreal Little Italy hunk asked me why my upper left cheek muscle (my face, pigs) seemed to be involuntarily twitching; it happens when sleep-deprived. He wrapped things up after he asked me to open the toiletry kit containing douche bulb, a few salt packets, KY, condoms, and an aquarium motor. The other inspection was a very pleasant sociable young woman who, similarly, endured the toiletry bag exposure, but with a contraband undeclared apple packed to avoid bruising. No Apple phone inspection and not asked to activate it. Apple not confiscated. 90% of secondary inspections are triggered by the electronic kiosk stage. Human agents override about 60% of them. So the majority were already primed and a minority of the first majority are deemed search-worthy according to discretion. Therefore, your chances of being considered to be suspicious yet not searched are far greater than being subject to secondary inspection based purely on officer discretion. If you are not arriving as an Iranian or Jamaican national there is not much worth grousing about.
