Another quote from this same article. Nothing even solid to make this article necessary either.

It is not clear whether the intercepted communications had anything to do with Mr. Trump’s campaign, or Mr. Trump himself. It is also unclear whether the inquiry has anything to do with an investigation into the hacking of the Democratic National Committee’s computers and other attempts to disrupt the elections in November. The American government has concluded that the Russian government was responsible for a broad computer hacking campaign, including the operation against the D.N.C.

The counterintelligence investigation centers at least in part on the business dealings that some of the president-elect’s past and present advisers have had with Russia. Mr. Manafort has done business in Ukraine and Russia. Some of his contacts there were under surveillance by the National Security Agency for suspected links to Russia’s Federal Security Service, one of the officials said.

I have two words in response to this article … Uranium One.

I am unsure why this article was even published because everyone knew that this is only the beginning of the process and the first day of him in actual office. Nothing about it is secret or just being revealed as an exclusive, LOL.

That is very nice of you Mr. Frink.

If it bothers you, practice not taking things so personally, or don’t be around those who bother you.

It is the lack of control over the issue that makes me mad. There are avenues but past experience says it will do me no good.

Don’t try to control the issue. Control yourself. If you can’t control your emotional reaction, control your exposure to the offense. Darth Id used to really bother me. But this is the cold Internet, people act rude, and I decided I don’t care if he insults me anymore. Usually, I ignore him, but when he does try to insult me, I just don’t let it get to me. Ignore what you don’t like, or get away from the situation. You are clearly a nice guy, but you let too much bother you, and try too hard to control the direction of the forum. Accept what you can’t control, and control what you can, and you will be a lot happier here.

Thick skin, thick skin, thick skin, no-one cares, I’m never right, move along, got it.

This persecution complex is why you don’t enjoy yourself here and is why people get annoyed. Honestly I thought you were doing great until you happened to notice an almost two week old comment.

I’m doing okay. There is no persecution complex and my doctor is the only one I go to for diagnosis of anything. Warbler got me bent out of shape yesterday because he was in a bad mood and due to my emotion, I was aparently the best candidate for him to lash out at. It’s done, it’s over with. I appreciate your concern.

Did you manage to get the Episode II preview on the beginning of ANH? I don’t think a good capture of that has surfaced anywhere either. Thanks for posting this!

Screen shots from the VHS. Tinypic was used for hosting and they were resized to 640x480. They look weird, like this site has done some resizing as well.

Have any of you downloaded these? I got a member over at the spleen saying the aspect ratio is off but he or she is using the screen shots vs. media info of the file to say so. I don’t even know that he or she has watched it yet and they wanna use ffmpeg to “fix” said aspect ratio.

I’m confused. LOL

Hi, longtime reader and new member here. I gotta say version 2.5 has turned out great, kk650! Your Semi-Specialised Editions are my go-to versions whenever I want to watch the original trilogy with some of the later changes/additions. I wanted to check out ESB 2.2 with the new 5.1 tracks, but many of the download links on tehparadox are dead. Can these SSEs be found on myspleen? If yes, I would greatly appreciate an invite. It would certainly make it easier to get hold of them.

You are in the wrong spot if you’re asking for an invite. The thread below is where you need to ask. Thanks.

I am glad I made this thread.

I just did the movies for these but I still have the LD’s and a way to capture so maybe I can do it up. I know my VHS capture of the 2000 SE should have it on there.

I keep trying to write a post for this thread, but it always ends up as a super harsh and vulgar attack on myself, and I don’t want to worry anyone, so I backspace it all. Silly me and my inability to lightly make fun of myself.

Or maybe I could just thinly veil the self-hatred with faux-irony like I do in real life in lame attempts at humor and/or probably cries for help.

I find if I exaggerate my flaws in a cartoonish way, it feels good to poke fun of myself.

I’m too thin in the arms. I hate showing them in public because they look unhealthy.

Make good fun at yourself, not this. Be proud of being you, warts and all, so to speak.

Jetrell Fo, this thread is for self-reflection, but I hope you don’t mind a little reflection from me. I’ve no doubt you are not a bad person. You’re obviously a very good person, regardless of whatever flaws you may have. You are a parent, seemingly a good one, and there is no greater calling in life than that.

Thanks for the reminder ender, most appreciated.

😃

I know the forum is what it is. How it is allowed to flow regardless of how it might affect others was made personally clear to me recently. Thick skin, thick skin, thick skin, no-one cares, I’m never right, move along, got it.

Thanks ender, I honestly appreciate your dialog, it helps some.

^ Good catch Jay.

I didn’t do any further processing aside from editing out the side changes as my knowledge of such things is limited. For now they are letterboxed as the were presented on the LD’s.

A Pioneer DVL-90 Elite LD machine and my Panasonic DMR-EA18 DVD Recorder. I captured each side of an LD to 1 DVD5. I ripped the video files to my PC, edited out the side changes, and put them back together in to 1 file.

I think they turned out decently. I’m sure they look better on an analog T.V. than a Digital one but that’s okay.

Melania giving Michelle her speech back

Obama was his usual cordial self all day (his patience is legendary), but Michelle had a constant “fuck this shit” look on her face. Loved it.

She had the same look on her face when she received a gift from Tump’s wife.

Thanks!

Sorry, I’ve been in bad mode today. Having an ***hole become the leader of my country does that to me.

I’m sorry you’re in a bad mood but I don’t appreciate being someone’s punching bag. Tear off at Trump, not me, if he makes you so mad. Please.

Darth Solo said:

Not clear as to what’s happening in your life at the moment JF, you have just vented an issue, if you still feel the same after X-amount of days, don’t feel ashamed to ask for help.

I don’t think I could ever publicly reveal stuff here because it would probably get used against me in the name of humor by some. Privately, maybe. Thank you Solo.

I have 2 different dated VHS copies of this doco that I’ll be uploading to the spleen. I’ll let you all know in case there is any interest in having other sources for this.

Cheers!!!

I’d defer to the OP, but if you see a clear violation of general forum policy, please report it.

I think I need to clarify the rules regarding OP intent. The purpose behind General Guideline #3 was to cover “topic” and “tone”, not to encourage thread starters to draft strict rules of conduct for individual threads.

This might be helpful. I’ve been working at staying calm but some of these grey areas seem to leave some users open to issue without recourse. Thanks for responding.

Molly says she doesn’t get that channel so I asked if she’d at least keep an eye out for someone who might be able to help.

I’m not a bad person, I’m not a bad person, I’m not a bad person.
