TV Review. Indian Police Force. Amazon. A Hindi-English series about a counter terrorism unit in Delhi. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Police_Force_(TV_series)

This is a pretty good show, it fairly accurately depicts terrorism and counter terrorism in a modern country. It does have some Indian tradition story telling regarding the personal lives of the main characters, there was a dance/singing scene! but it wasn't out place.

Melburnian here so when the power goes out in the Delhi apartment of the terror cell I'm all like" Youse guys are fucked, Special Ops is outside your door " But no, it's just a power outage in a capital city for no reason, no storms. It's India.

The military theme music is a little cringy but it's ok. The graphics and special effects are good. So many pairs of Rayban Aviators. Only 10% of the men have a moustache.

And approx 10% of special forces is women, which is sorta in keeping with the rest of the world.

I give this 4 hobbits.

( I do miss Irrfan, when he smiled he would light up the room. )

Help me choose.

Budget: about $500

I need one wool coat + one puffer (do I though?)

With puffers, its between Uniqlo (cheap), Patagonia (because brand quality and their customer service), and The North Face Nuptse (unsure between this and the 'Gonia).

With Woolen overcoats, I have no idea! If I get an expensive overcoat then I'll have to go with a Uniqlo puffer, but again, I'm not sure if I really need a puffer?

Help please 😔

Go to Kmart and get something else warm for $30 and go for a nice meal instead

I used to have a long down puffer with a detachable hood, it was the warmest coat. Make sure if you have a long puffer it has press studs as well as a zip. Woolen hat to cover ears and forehead, scarf to cover neck and face if need, thin gloves or double gloves.

You can get end of season puffers from overseas sellers .

Sometimes when it's cold here in Melbs I put on a roomy lined wind proof raincoat and have warm jumpers underneath

To throw a spanner in the works my current go to (with a long underlayer) is a lightish jumper (usually woollen) and a shell jacket that doubles as a raincoat over the top. Super efficient at keeping out the wind and easy to pack down. I walk everywhere so it's heaps warm enough the wool jumper is warm for inside.

Other than that I would go puffer first for packability (I love my pea coat but rarely wear it now)

I am having this strange phenomenon, where:

  • If I think I need my laptop and bring it with me, but then not end up using it.

  • If I think I don't need my laptop and left it home, then I end up needing it.

Yep, a few of you might remember that a few months ago, I had to file a claim using just my phone 3 hours before a flight lol... Might be time I get a Bluetooth keyboard of some sort.

Unpopular opinion: Prosecco is overrated. Tastes like hairy balls. There's so much better out there.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

You haven't had good Prosecco, methinks. That, or you don't have it when you're drunk enough. Tsk tsk lol

Prosecco is good for making spritzes, that's it. Limoncello spritz, mmm!

Agreed. Fuck Prosecco and everyone who likes it

spoilerOk not everyone who likes it. They're okay. Mostly.
