They arrived early. The building they were in was a death trap and started on fire. It was just a bucket fire from a lit cigarette but the fire alarms were disabled. During the fire stuff got stolen. Kitty Chiller has been quiet about things ever since.

This isnt 100% but get a router that can support a VPN connection, then use the BBC app or something for your TV / roku if one exists.

Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.
In my country, the TV-license cost is just over 70 US cents a day if we own a TV or just something that has a TV-tuner in it. Not enough money for them to win bids for Sochi or this. Discovery Networks have rights to all olympics broadcasting in Europe until the 2026 one. That's olympic shame.

The $45 it would cost to be able to watch the olympics would cut too harshly into my booze budget and I just want to see the fencing.

The left shouldn't even be that mad. Temer has absorbed all of the problems of the previous government, and after this Olympics, Brazil will be in a state of chaos. The right's only choice going forward is dictatorship because there's no way they survive electorally after the coup, and the economic poo poo heap the country will be in by the end of the games.

Stuff like this is going to become more and more common, with all the police at the olympics that are "trustworthy", it's the perfect storm.

edit : Brazil Makes Eleventh-Hour Push on Olympics Security

Brazil’s government is still scrambling to patch together a team of weapons screeners for Olympics venues, this time using retired police officers with little experience operating X-ray machines, many of whom just arrived in the host city in recent days.

On the eve of the opening ceremonies, they are being trained in the use of metal detectors and other equipment and have yet to be posted at some venues, the government has said. Moreover, some are being taught to use the equipment by inexperienced, low-wage private contractors whom the veteran security pros are replacing, according to several of the screeners.

Day of the opening, still not secure, seems fine.

On July 29, an allegedly drunk man vomited on hurdler Shi Dongpeng and a journalist accompanying him to create a distraction and steal their belongings.

While Shi was cleaning himself and the reporter pursued the "aggressor", an accomplice of the man snatched the journalist's suitcase that contained cameras and laptops, according to the Chinese consulate in Rio de Janeiro.
