I’m surprised no one has mentioned The Wire. A TVshow taking place in Baltimore about intricate relationship between drug dealers, police and politics. Love every part of it!

It’s shot in 4:3 aspect ratio despite 16:9 starting to become the standard for tv at the time. It’s has since been “remastered” and adjusted to 16:9 aspect ratio. I was worried it would ruin an already perfect show but I actually liked it. It’s an HBO show.

Long episodes (60min?) and might take a few episodes to get into as there are many characters and storylines that interlace.

Thanks be later, probably.

It’s Markdown, which is a a fairly standard and minimalistic formatting syntax.

A lot of people don’t seem to mind it, but to me it really tastes terrible. Even if I got it for free I wouldn’t drink it.

I think most civilians in Gaza are busy trying to survive. People are starving and trying to avoid being killed. Constantly moving. Even if starving refugees did run in to one of the hostages, how and to who would they relay this information? And with that information relayed, what could the informant expect happen to the the camp that they stay in?

I don’t know too much about GHB, but from the little I’ve heard it sounds like it has a risk of deadly overdose, which I don’t think is the case for the first two examples you mentioned. You probably know more than me so perhaps you can enlighten me if they deserve to be grouped together?
