What You've Done Today - Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life
Had you taken any cold medicine with a decongestant? Pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, phenylephrine, naphazoline and oxymetazoline are all supposed to raise blood pressure. Might also be a situational aspect to it as well (ie stress from going to the doctor and being sick). Making sure you're not dehydrated can also help with BP, as I understand it. Also

I would but I admit a part of me is a for ridiculous parts of TOS related TREK... Also I just knew new TREK would go there, I just thought it'd be in DISCOVERY's 2nd season...

What You've Done Today - Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life
Yeeah, I have that problem too, which is why I've tried to avoid mobile joystick games. Except Diablo (why did my character stop moving and attacking, did I get disconnected from the server? No, my thumbs just drifted. RE Staffing issues - over the course of 10 years I went from having around ~25 FT staff to now having 9. Spread over 7 locations. In public facing offices. 5 of the 7 locations are now run by a single person. RE: Gaming - I confess, that as I've gotten older, I have less patience for the longer narratives that a lot of RPGs strive for. While I still love RPGs, I just don't have the stamina (and to be fair, have a lot more demands on my time) than I used to. I've degenerated into a filthy casual gamer.

The Immortals and the Shadows are two groups vying for power in Sanctuary. I gather its something for players after playing the plot; there's a point where you get invited into one of the factions and if you accept you have missions related to the group as well as enmity with the other group. EDIT - it may be something you only get post lvl 50; my Crusader was 52 when I decided to switch to a Barb and see how they played. I'm on Ureh, but I don't really play enough to be a good team player so haven't explored much of the coop play excepting a couple of dungeon only groupings for extra spoils. EDIT2 - since I'd just started the Barb, recreated her on Arkaine's Valor.

What You've Done Today - Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life
I'm mostly playing Switch and Mobile, but I'm thinking of buying a gaming laptop. But I admit I don't complete games near as much as I used to, either (and sometimes judge if its worth buying a game based on how much into I think I'll actually play it vs cost). I've got a few mobile games I'm playing, primarily Fire Emblem Heroes, Another Eden: The Cat Beyond Time And Space and Diablo Immortal. DI is pretty good, but I'm not really a MMORPG player, so the group/warband/clan/Immortal-Shadow stuff is a kind of a loss for me personally. Chris

Space Cobra Episode 25 "Cobra Is Dead?!" aka "Kobura ga Shinda!? Cobra heists some diamonds A pretty strong episode; Cobra is probably at his most desperate for part of the story, and perhaps the least cavalier about things by the end. Episode 26 ""Beyond the Fires of War" aka "Senka no Kanata ni" Cobra finds himself stuck on a war torn planet Closing on the end - the next episode's set up sounds like the start of the last story-arc for the series.

So...you gave your rainspout an enema. 😄 I had to cart a small desk and three chairs 4 city blocks this morning, and even though it was super hot, I did it because its supposed to be hotter the next few days.

In the One Ring's defense, the odds of ANOTHER Hobbit getting the ring when the first Hobbit who had lost it a hole underneath the Misty Mountains which was now home to a Goblin town in the Great Goblin's cavern was probably pretty low.- The New Cinema and Movie Thread
I haven't seen the last Predator film yet (its on my to-do list), but so far the only ones I really disliked were the AVP films, particularly the 2nd one, which managed to be both poor Alien and poor Predator films.

587, according to the same site the poster used. That said, it could just be that Titanic and Avatar fans are posting their fanfics to the listed site. 🤷♂️- The TV and Streaming Thread: Pilot Week
I'm assuming you're making a joke. But I'll leave this here, anyhow...- The New Cinema and Movie Thread
If you'd told me in the 80s that Nuklon, Black Adam, Hawkman and Dr. Fate were going to be in a big budget action effects film, I'd have thought you were crazy. Ditto in the 1990s when Nuklon changed his gimmick to become Atom Smasher. I'd probably have been more sympathetic by the time Cyclone came around in 2006 that it was possible and you weren't cray-cray. Pretty much all 'woke outrage' is unnecessary. I'm almost tempted to say all outrage excepting that over grievous miscarriages of justice or similar serious topics. But being mad about the lead of a film? Silly. - Funny Stuff: Joke-Wing vs Meme Fighter
