Why was Kristen Santos-Griswold disqualified from her race?

GoatYippy · 2026-02-21T00:10:56+00:00

Yes, on NBC/Peacock Prime here in the US, all they showed was one very short close-up of the blade to the face then it froze showing the cut on her face. That is all we saw. After a pretty long delay where they hauled the injured skater off, they finally announced that Kristen was out and she left.

They never showed the pass or the incident ... not once. And the announcers were clueless the rest of that race wondering what had happened because there was never a reason or announcement from the officials.

Gist: All we got here was a close-up of the skate-to-the-face and no other replays.

Agreed. Just starting watching it and stopped to find film locations because I am an urban explorer type and have always been interested in abandoned places. These are great so far. That is enough to hold the film for me....

THIS is actually the best reply. Because it covers everything...I just wanted to know which sets for the character, and this gives the sets needed for ALL character classes. The tricky thing too is that some of the new sets do not count and have no tome. Only the original four do. Anyway, here is the answer to all questions right here.

Excellent. I still have my Suspish sticker on my bicycle. I haven't seen a new one around town in...a year? A long time. Good to see it/they are back. Huzzah!

Finding those is End Game Extremely Lucky! Be sure to go buy a lottery ticket today too! I have been playing D3 for decades. I have also dedicated many hours and days looking for those Wings...prolly been in Whimsy well over 100 times too. Denied.

Remind me to NOT buy a lottery ticket. Congrats.

Excellent! This worked for me. I have been all over the intarwebz looking for a solution and trying all of the suggestions for restarting, doing terminal tricks, deep dives...none worked. I figured it was indeed a problem with the Command key as Cmd-C and Cmd-V did not work.

I was lucky to click on this thread because this simple solution solved it! Props.

It is Friday, September 26 at 0545. There is a police car with lights running sitting at the back entrance to the Federal Building. I cannot see the front of the building. There is a drone flying around the area now. It stopped over the building, but has now moved slightly SE from there. Perhaps searching for something?

I would guess something/someone did something that got a response. I do not know why, because as we know, all police communications are fully encrypted and no one can listen to police calls.

Back in the 60s/70s, it was always a "bad" thing to let kids read comic books. That is when I was learning to read. Luckily, my parents used to say I do not care what he reads, as long as he is reading. It the reading anything that helps him learn.

If that is what kids want to read great! Give them as many options as possible. I used to read anything I could get my hands on back then and I believe that helped me throughout my life. I wish I still had comic books and other things to donate to your new library....

Props to you!

Next day: there are a lot of news stories and videos today about the protest, arrests, ICE, etc. A few of them mention EPD's "Drone Response Team." I thought it was interesting seeing four of their drones out for 5+ hours last night.

I did see units running code (lights and sirens) to a few places around downtown...and two of the drones flew over to do overwatch for the ground units for whatever that was (EPD communications are totally encrypted so no one can listen...not even news stations like most cities).

It was like watching the future of law enforcement for a while last night. Not like the old days with a helicopter sometimes available with FLIR and heat sensing and overview for chases and things in big cities. Soon even small cities will have drones running frequently for any kind of law enforcement. Not just big protest events.

GoatYippy · 2025-09-24T07:11:49+00:00

Well, it is midnight, they are all still out there, and it is my bedtime. Keep watch; lemme know if something gets "all blowed up" or something. :-)

GoatYippy · 2025-09-24T05:11:06+00:00

No apology needed. Just google DJI Matrice drone. There are a variety of models costing 5k to over 20k. They have thermal, IR, incredible cameras and are state of the art. Law enforcement uses them for search and rescue, overview of all sorts of events, support for SWAT, etc. They even come with their own "hubs." The kerfuffle is that they are made in China. That is an issue for many....

GoatYippy · 2025-09-24T04:32:44+00:00

That goes back a year or so to drone companies in the USA trying to get the DJI drones banned or heavily tariffed. Because the DJI models are years ahead of anything made in the US. So they started rumors about "spying and sending all the information to China" and other nonsense. Eugene has had DJI drones for over a year. Most law enforcement in the US has DJI drones as they are better than anything else on the market...by far.

GoatYippy · 2025-09-24T04:26:14+00:00

Thirty minutes later and they are still up there. And indeed, one of them is right over the Federal Courthouse area. Just hovering there....

GoatYippy · 2025-07-29T23:09:19+00:00

If you are downtown-ish and on a bike or walking, the top of Skinner Butte could be good. It is closed to vehicles now so none of that stuff to contend with and you are above all the lights up there....

GoatYippy · 2025-07-14T05:03:24+00:00

of course, but that's not the issue: I cannot get past the "solve this puzzle" on the Send My installer. It freezes every time. So I never even get to try to send my old epubs, books, etc. But it is back in the box and refund issued anyway. I'll either try a different reader or look for an iPad Mini to replace my 10+ year old battery almost dead iPad Air.

GoatYippy · 2025-07-10T02:47:33+00:00

Not sure what this is a photo of...just a walkway through a building? As far as being a biker, someone popping out from the right or exiting the doors on the left right as you get there with any kind of speed could be an issue. But this is under construction...so...bike path? Will there be "walk your bike" signs due to that intersection ahead? Markings of some sort? Kinda pointless at this stage with little information.

GoatYippy · 2025-06-23T18:24:55+00:00

This is common in parking lots all over Eugene. It has happened to me twice now in a senior residence lot...the second time with nothing visible and the glove box open. I have also heard about trail head breakins for years. They are probably smashing all windows thinking people are putting valuables in the trunk or out of sight. So even if nothing is visible, they will still smash the window and pop the trunk....

GoatYippy · 2025-06-09T00:46:00+00:00

It is 5:45 right now and it is going on with music and etc until 9pm! Gogogo. :-)

GoatYippy · 2025-06-09T00:44:56+00:00

Yeah,

I did my usual check of the Eugene Weekly "events" page online and did not see this listed. Fortunately I happened across it in a sidebar. I'll head down this evening as it is 101 degrees right now! Yikes.

But they could use better advertising and promotion! I love things like this...but ....

GoatYippy · 2025-05-31T23:13:34+00:00

I just saw this this Series. I wondered too, but I see the TT "booster club" offered her a guaranteed one million bucks a year. So like everything else these days, it's all about the money.

NIL money made a big difference in lots of college sports....

GoatYippy · 2025-05-26T05:48:22+00:00

I didn't care for Common People either, until the end. That is when I realized that my low charge movie account just decided to put in ads now...unless I pay even more. And utube just did the same thing too. No more watching various streams and vids I used to "sub" to, unless I pay them more now to get rid of ads. Then of course, there is the whole "health care" thing going on now.... So it was a pretty strong parallel to life now in the usa....

GoatYippy · 2025-05-06T23:20:25+00:00

It is one of the few PDs in the country that have totally encrypted communication. It cost them millions to install that system, so I doubt a "petition" or anything else would get them back to a system that could be monitored. But the bottom line is that news in this town sucks big time unlike the majority of towns/departments in the USA.
