Father, scifi and Dune nerd/Sietchposter, disabled athlete, MTB and gravel rider. 20 years with Reactive Arthritis that has progressed into far more than just arthritis.
The Doctor in the middle of a conflict between Q’s sons (with at least a cameo from Dad) would be an all time scenery chewer. The only way to top it might be to throw in the Master/Missy too.

I was excited by the prospect until CBS fell from grace (without getting into Disney’s even more complex fall) and Disney gave up on Who.

Now I’m hoping this waits until we’re on the other side of all the shit going on right now. It’s already so tragic that Academy’s doomed before it even begins.

This is the way.

I worry about the level of “support” even that provides via the (mostly low quality and therefore low paying) ads, but it can’t be anything remotely close to my past Paramount sub.

He lost a shit ton on crypto recently. It’s not clear how much he has invested in total since a lot of it is anonymized but the known losses are massive.

There’s so much good & so much bad. So many of the ideas behind it were hilariously over-ambitious for 90s late night bargain basement TV.

You’ll have plenty to dig into, that’s for sure. Now more than ever the Earth civil war/illegal orders/Shadow manipulation storylines hit way too close to home.

Hefty, because you can’t throttle SRBs. The main tank structure would probably have to be redesigned to take the stress and basic things about the orbiter might have to also be revamped, like the angle the main engines are tilted at.

It’s probably specific to working with two SRBs.

Completely understandable.

If anything, I was amazed to still see any significant number of Canadians at all. MTB riders (and especially Quebecois ones, lol) are a stubborn lot, but this feels like it will be the last straw for even those stalwarts.

The impact will not be subtle. Recently opened parks won’t build trail nearly as fast or ambitious, and could end up closing before they reach profitability. Prospective new park openings may never happen at all.

The whole industry is shifting towards park & DH. The net effect will be devastating.

My strong suspicion is that many of these riders will finally give up when asked for full phone access and five years of social media history every time they cross the border.

These Canadians were a very large part of the customer base (close to 50%) that new parks like Sugarloaf were depending on.

Pass out on your feet type business. Drag yourself across the floor like a Marvel Zombie business.

I was going to say that it’s a wonder I can communicate coherently at all, but the strong urge to add “it’s Business Time” here would tend to indicate I may have used up the coherence juice. 😏

I’m already chronically sleep deprived, on a terrible and unpredictable schedule, and fatigued all the time even at my summer baseline which is drastically better than late November with RSV and 2+ storms/week.

So when I say the fatigue is scary right now, we’re talking serious business.
