Hello, This forum mostly is peer-to-peer help. Please send a help request to support@obsidian.net for assistance from Obsidian on this issue.

I was traveling, so not much effect other than being stuck in my hotel room with the city I was in shut down.

I got to experience a little bit of Hurricane Debbie last week. That was fun.

Probably doesn't help with squaring information vs disinformation that IBA & IOC have their own issues, sure. The court thing is weird, seen a lot of claims about what was/wasnt presented there but haven't had time to see if I could fund a full statement. I'd imagine part of the problem with universal rules is there's probably not a lot of data on the wide variety of intersex possibilities and how they effect athletic ability.

From what I read, the Algerian and Taiwanese boxers werent disqualified until they beat specific boxers (a Russian and Bulgarian) at the IBA championships but the disqualification was on failed results the IBA already had from earlier tests. Further, the IBA has denied requests to provide the Algerian boxer or her coaches the test results, have not described what test were done and if translations I've read are correct haven't been consistent with what the tests showed. If that's true, seems like there's more reason to be suspicious of the IBA here than 'lol Russians'.

Saw it too. Thought it was fun. Through story maybe not as strong as it could have been, but it was overall fun.

Not sure how close they're going to be to suicide squad from a story perspective beyond what is set up in the trailer. In the comics, Creature Commandos are a different program from Task Force X, initially run by the army in WWII, Frankenstein & The Bride work for a government organization named S.H.A.D.E. (Super Human Advanced Defense Executive) and G.I. Robot was a third seperate WWII Era project. So they may be using Waller and the Suicide Squad concept to give a single hook that audiences already know to throw the characters together.

There's a broadcast channel called Buzzr that I watch. Has repeats of Match Game PM, To Tell the Truth & Price is Right. I think they've had Family Feud, but don't think its on currently. But all I watched in their 70s versions, and all fun to revisit occasionally.

Pretty sure they're sending people into the (infected) world to be agents to keep the population sustainable to some degree. Possibly in concert with other area.

My condolences on your loss.

Yes, it's Omar Sy.

John Woo's remake of his own film, THE KILLER now has a trailer -

I do wonder why the show went through so many cast changes. I don't think there is a single character that remained a series regular through the whole thing.

For Earth: Final Conflict - They have a real tough time integrating Renee into the series and they struggle a good bit off and on with Liam too at this point. Also I think because of the cast changes, they sort of forget what their characters goals are, which leads to a lot of back-and-forth character development and some confusing swerves. EDIT: New Trailer:

I'm about to start a re-watch of 6 million dollar man. have watched 2 of the original 3 TV movies. Should watch the third this weekend, then start the series the week after that baring the unexpected. Loved Emergency! as a kid. One of the local channels re-runs it, so I'll sometimes catch an episode here and there.

I liked Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, personally.

I don't think the dems have to win every election. At some point of rejection of what they currently are will create a realignment or a collapse (where a new party will spawn). But maybe it is that grim.

I don't disagree; I didn't think Biden was a great candidate last cycle. But people wanting him to step aside don't realize how difficult it would be to do that; as I understand it if he stepped aside the new candidate would be starting fundraising anew as they can't legally use Biden's war chest (unless, I think, if the candidate was Kamala who could because shes already on the ticket).

Sure, on the one side Trump is backed by a group that wants to dismantle the Constitution and make the USA a theocracy, but then again Biden's old(er than Trump by 3 years).

Or - and I know this is a radical idea, but hear me out - we could do everything we can to ensure Trump and Trump aligned politicians don't get elected, so we never have to find out what Trump would *really* implement!
