    Heads up peeps. 

     

    NEVER EVER order anything from Bookswagon. Extremely bad customer service. 

     

    They marked my book as shipped, DID NOT ship it for close a week, kept on blaming courier company, which basically closed the order since they said client did not give the order for pick-up. Money is stuck. Bookswagon is not responding now, still blaming Delhivery. 

    Just f**king sh*t all around. 

    Raised a customer grievance with INGRAM portal, but this doesn't look like the kind of people to give a f**k. What are my options ? I think I made the mistake of paying via UPI, so no CC protection. 

     

    Edit: Payment was done via Axis CC. How good is their grievance resolution/chargeback process ?

     

    I'm on Axis CC, but haven't had this issue before, so not very sure. 

    I order books on basically a weekly basis and I do it all through Amazon. Customer service is top notch.

    I'm finicky about books, and I got one with the corner mushed. Amazon sent a replacement next day, no complaints.

     

    Thanks for informing, will avoid this site. Also avoid ChapterOne online bookstore.

    They're also horrible, TOOK 10 months to deliver 2 books.

    Haven't seen, but it's apparently the weakest of all Apple TV shows. 

     

    I didn't like the book either. The timeline is super confusing. 

     

    Will be resubbing for Ted Lasso S2, will watch some more stuff when I do. Will skip Lisey's Story

    Completed 3 seasons of 'the last Kingdom' and onto the fourth season now.  This is perhaps one of the most underrated shows on Netflix.  Its almost like got without the dragons and magic and more realistic setting (I think some of the elements are borrowed from history, not not 100% accurate, not sure though).

     

    It is based on the books by Bernard Cornwell - The Saxon Stories. Its historical *fiction*. 

     

    100% the most underrated show on Netflix. My current favourite, hyped for the fifth and final season!

    If you had to see one episode from Ray, watch the 3rd episode. The Manoj Bajpayee and Gajraj Rao jugalbandi is *chef's kiss*. People missing Bajpayee's acting chops in Family Man S02 will be fulfilled here.

    The rest of the 3 episodes are sh*t.

     

    +1 to this. Episode 3 is fantastic, the rest are garbage.

     

    It is standalone in nature, so one can watch Episode 3 by itself.

    It will be releasing along with Edgar Wright's Last Night in Soho and Wes Anderson's The French Dispatch which also stars Chalamet. So, there is a chance of getting three great movies in a single weekend.

     

    Yes, I'm hyped for all 3 movies. But Dune especially. Lets hope for the best

    How is Locke and key currently I'm on forced leave for a week and was looking something to watch 

     

    I've heard its pretty bad.

    I think its a graphic novel adaption, and that is a much better way to experience the story.

    Finished Vincenzo (빈센조). Enjoyed it. Quite entertaining with a good dose of K-Drama and action. Very likeable cast as well.

    Downside - may be a little long and the backstory for the Italian Mafia was lacking. He ended up as the protagonist in a suit with a gun. 

    7/10. A good watch to get into K-Dramas. 

     

    A bit romance heavy but this is the most talked about K-Drama/Asian show - Crash Landing on You

     

    Its also on Netflix

    Completed Defending Jacob. It was pretty good. Chris Evans is awesome. What a perfect beard damn. 

     

    I think I will watch this one when I re-sub to Apple TV+ next month for Ted Lasso S2. 

    and anything else which is really worth watching.

    Is it another teen drama ? Or something better ?

     

    Can be labelled as teen drama, but done right for once? Story and characters are compelling for once, and the cringe moments are the lowest of netflix shows.

     

    its not perfect, but if you ever wish to watch teen romance, this is the best pick.

    This seems to have only integrated graphics not a dedicated card.

    yes, the 11th gen integrated graphics are fairly decent for light gaming here and there though.

    its a bit of a toss-up, wanting a lightweight efficient laptop vs a machine that can game at this price point.

     

    You could get something like the Zephyrus which is both lightweight and has a dedicated card at the 1L price point.

    Any good recommendations for a laptop under 70k? Windows only, main use is work but occasionally playing games like Frostpunk (about 10hr/month). Lightweight is preferred. Interested in a future proof model with stuff like DDR4 RAM, decent screen/processor etc.

    Nice to see everyone giving Ted Lasso a try. ?

     

    credits to you, since you did harp on this show every week till it caught everyone's attention hehehe

     

    Any idea how many eps this season? I stopped my Apple TV sub, so I wanna time it in a way that I can watch and cancel after a month.
