What did the chair umpire say when she divorced another chair umpire?

“New balls, please.”

The smoke was belching over a period of 15 minutes or so. It was coming from this truck behind Court 20: #CincyTennis

I’m at #CincyTennis where there’s a power outage. It started when I started seeing black smoke behind the court where I was sitting.

(I was quoting the MythBusters catchphrase there, which used the singular.) ;)

I test 3D printed carbon fiber things often in my day job. As soon as I saw the footage of them printing the hull, I thought, "oh... _there's_ your problem." Not surprising the gas was messed up too.

yes, I think I heard you say this about non-fiction proposals on a podcast somewhere. Good luck!

No worries!
He hasn’t returned to that topic in the meantime. Maybe he heeded my warning or even read In the Waves?

How is book 3 going?

@lizbethmyles.bsky.social @paulcornell.bsky.social FTR, only the Tower of Terror ride in California has had the Twilight Zone stuff removed. The other 3 parks that have it, like the one in Florida, are all still Twilight Zone

In the US, they can all be streamed for free (with ads) on PlutoTV, that nice platform that also streams classic Doctor Who all the time.

Yes, that’s the one that put me down for a day

Yes, Ark in Space was omnibus on VHS

@legopolis.bsky.social on VHS, the 2-tape set had The Sontaran Experiment and Parts One and Two of Genesis of the Daleks on tape 1, and Genesis 3-6 was on tape 2.

It’s like Megatron vs Starscream, except they’re both Stsrscream.

This is a work of an insane genius www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRMh...

@crobertcargill.bsky.social at bar trivia this week, it asked what the wifi password was in Dr Strange and I had to curse your name because I couldn’t remember it.

Oh dear. Can’t recall when I last saw one of these completely working properly.

stories and disproven ideas. I left him a comment telling him he should read In the Waves first…and so far he’s not done a video on it so perhaps he’s heeding that advice? Could be worth your time to get in touch with him yourself maybe.

Something I forgot to tell you. There’s a history YouTuber called Vlogging Through History that recently touched on something to do with the Hunley and he said he’d maybe be doing a bigger video on it in the near future, but it sounded like the Friends of Hunley had been at him pushing their old…

I see.
Pity they never did subtitles for the hearing impaired on those commentaries. There’d be transcripts ready-made right there.

Not exactly “modern” in this case. Those two host a podcast about early s.f TV history and a cast member of a 50s show had some real rescue work somewhere in his background info. 😀

If there's a particular one you're interested in, I could have a listen to it again and transcribe it for you.

I’m only hearing it on Lucky Day. Other eps and other stuff on D+ sound fine.

Any other Disney+ #DoctorWho viewers in the US hearing the same sound problem I am on today’s new episode? (Lucky Day) The main dialogue channel sounds like it’s bit rate is far too low. Music and sound effects are fine. It’s just on the dialog.

And Pat Gorman … too many to count.

(No spoilers) RTD on Unleashed gives reasons why he thought it was OK to use Alan Cumming in a part again even though he’d been on “recently.” But… “Witchfinders” was -7- years ago now! Michael Sheard played 3 different parts over that same timespan! #DoctorWho

@lizbethmyles.bsky.social @paulcornell.bsky.social fyi, scuba was invented during WW2 in occupied France by Jacques Cousteau and Emile Gagnan so that drowning rescue you mentioned had to have happened after that

Thanks. Looks like a bunch of platforms have it. Think I’ll use Pluto tv

What platform can we see it on, and which number episode did you watch?

Not only is today’s new Doctor Who episode now streaming worldwide on Disney+ but also, the accompanying Doctor Who Unleashed is up on the Doctor Who YouTube channel! #DoctorWho

the one about how Taylor thought she needed a power adapter in Canada. I asked if she’d brought one for Minnesota. 😀
