So how are things in your countries? They've shut down just about everything in Poland and people were panic buying stuff 2 and 3 days ago. It seems to have calmed down a bit, but almost everyone I know who has an office job will be working remotely for at least the next two weeks, including me. The number of cases is rising rapidly, but so far it's nowhere near as bad as in western Europe.

| Critics are too harsh on action movies |

It's hard to think of any action film from the 80s and 90s that hasn't been lambasted by movie critics. Try finding a good review from a critic for an action movie that isn't Die Hard, ALIENS, Terminator, and some of the more high profile action movies. You'd have a better time trying to find bigfoot. Movies like Timecop, Last Action Hero, Cobra, Tango and Cash, etc. were not received well by movie critics. Even today action classics are described as "cheesy" and "dumb" by reviewers and critics. What are your thoughts? Do you think these movies deserve more respect?

Saw this on Facebook:
I'm involved in a run of fully assembled and flashed Domesday86 Duplicator kits: these can be used to directly digitize your LaserDisc media and even VHS tapes! You can find more information about how it works and what it is at https://www.domesday86.com/?page_id=74
We've a large number of slots open, so we're hoping to be able to meet the demands of the community for not only kits, but also completely assembled, individual parts such as the LD-V4x00 calibration board, and DomesDay86 duplicator board.
Let me note that I'm open to having conversations on a individual basis for larger or special projects if other considerations need to be made: please contact me as opposed to staying silent!
Price List
$400 = 1x Fully assembled and programmed DomesDay86 kit (assembled and soldered DdD board, FX3, DE0 FPGA, and LD-V4x00 calibration board)
$267 = 1x Fully soldered DomesDay86 duplicator board.
$130 = 1x Calibration board
Please note the following:
- We will ship anywhere locally or internationally (from the Pacific Coast of the US).
- Prices do not include shipping (we'll request a second payment for shipping and materials once the package is ready to be sent to you).
- While we're trying to take weeks at most, please plan around not receiving a unit for several months.
-- Why such a long lead time?
We're setting expectations to give buffer time to the fine chap soldering and assembling all this so they don't burn out, stress out, or have a passion and hobby meant to help the community, turn into a chore. This is also meant to plan around further stoppages or slow downs in shipping from China due to the Coronavirus.
Please message me if you're Interested!
--Noah
PS This run has the blessing of Simon Inns (though he is not responsible for it nor involved in any way) who is the creator and primary developer of the DomesDay86 project. He also noted that "for a full stack of boards ready-to-roll; it's a very reasonable price imho" See attached screenshot for further confirmation.

Looking for a sci-fi series, I stumbled upon "The Orville". I remembered that it was a kind of Star Trek spoof, so I put it apart at the time, but I wanted to give it a chance this time.
And, well, it was great! It has all the good things Star Trek has, plus some comic relief and "normal" things we always asked ourselves (or, at least I did) like "does anyone go to the bathroom?" or "do they have sex usually, apart in very rare episodes?"
The comedy parts were very well dosed, and serious topics were threated in the right manner - a-la Star Trek. Quite some actors from the former show appeared as guest starts, plus famous stars like Charlize Theron, Rob Lowe, Liam Neeson.
SFX were mostly great, apart in very rare cases; acting was very good, music was right, stories mostly original.
A pretty perfect show that every sci-fi lovers must watch!
9/10
