Nothing has changed as far as I’m aware… I’m seeing updates and have not seen others mention anything but I can keep an eye out if there are others reporting similar issues. 

[Warning :: NY Sardonic Humour 😁 ]
Unfortunately I've put some thought into this, and though I have some thoughts on the screenplay I'm struggling due to lack of crucial details...
Did those events happen over a lifetime or does that reflect a normal weekend in LA?  Would we need Bridgerton-like blushing virgins, or someone capable of handling the rigours of filming, and, virgins - it's not like there are many left...  And if this was just a weekend in LA,  are we able to find a director capable of filming the three hour sequence in a single take?

The charge is not obstruction of justice. Prosecutors charged under 18 U.S.C. section 2232(a), “Destruction or removal of property to prevent seizure.” That statute makes it a felony to knowingly destroy, damage, waste, dispose of or otherwise take any action for the purpose of preventing or impairing the government’s lawful authority to seize property. It carries up to five years. The indictment specifically alleges that Tunick “did knowingly destroy, damage, waste, dispose of and otherwise take any action to delete the digital contents of a Google Pixel cellular phone, for the purpose of preventing and impairing the Government’s lawful authority.”
Your cocaine analogy is closer to a classic obstruction or evidence tampering theory. Section 2232 is narrower, it targets actions taken to keep property from being seized, regardless of whether a formal investigation or judicial proceeding has already begun. The government’s theory here is that wiping the encryption keys (via the GrapheneOS duress feature) destroyed the digital contents of the device in order to prevent its seizure in usable form. Whether deleting encryption keys while the physical phone remains intact constitutes “destruction” of the property under section 2232 is precisely the legal question the court will have to decide. The physical device was not damaged, the data became permanently inaccessible. That distinction is real and is not settled by the statute’s text alone.
On the procedural points we agree: the warrantless nature of the border seizure and the reported denial of counsel raise serious Fourth and Fifth Amendment issues that the defense is properly litigating. But those issues do not change the statute under which the government actually charged the case.

While the federal government may believe it has a legally sound case for treating the destruction of encryption keys as destruction of property to prevent federal seizure, there are some significant legal and technical questions.
The storage device itself was not physically damaged or destroyed. Destroying the encryption keys simply makes the data unreadable; the encrypted data still exists on the drive exactly as before. The question then, is whether rendering data permanently inaccessible should legally be considered "destruction of property" when the property itself remains intact.
From a technical standpoint, the data is still there. Without the keys however, it is effectively unrecoverable. Whether that amounts to legal destruction is ultimately a question for the courts.

A memorial for Lucky was held yesterday at a church in Palm Springs. Unfortunately, it was the hottest day of the year (117 degrees at the time of the service), and there were not many people present--another old friend of his and I were almost the only non-family members, and we were both asked to speak about our experience with him, which we did relatively truthfully (we did not discuss the primary subject matter of this website). One of the most positive aspects of the memorial was the fact that everyone present knew and openly acknowledged Lucky's sexual orientation in a very positive way (e.g., his nieces and nephews all refer to his partner as "Uncle"). I was moved by the love and admiration that his family members obviously felt for him. He was my best friend in Palm Springs for many years, and I will truly miss him.

Whatever decisions you make, the key is to do your due diligence. Maybe rent a house or a villa or a room where you think you want to settle for a few months in the off season to see what life is like away from the summer sun and tourists.
We were based in Sydney Australia - and gave our retirement considerable thought.  We had holidayed in Bali for 25 years, and had considered living there.  Because we had gone to the same resort for those 25 years, we knew the staff, the local shop keepers, the local restaurants etc.  We spoke some of the language and if we lived there we would learn much more.
When we started talking to people who were living there full time the real story came out - the newly built flash looking medical centres and hospitals for the tourists - were next to useless - you had to go to Singapore 3 hrs flight or back to Australia 4 hrs to Perth 6 hours to Sydney or Melbourne for decent surgical care, the rental situation required a rent payment in advance of anything between 1 year to 10 years.  Non refundable if you did not last the distance.
While our money would go a long way, it started to get too hard.
After much research and a must have list we did what we call in Australia a sea change.  We moved to the coast.
We decided on a location, and then looked at real estate.  We discovered an over 50's resort which met all of our needs.  At the time we made serious enquiries, they were planning on building more houses, the resort going from 390 houses to 520, and currently the are building another 120, and that is it - no more land.
So we chose a house design and a block of land and bought off the plan.  We paid a $1000 deposit that was refundable, but locked in our land house design and price.
18 months later our dream house was ready.  In those 18 months we had renovated our Sydney home (during covid) and sold it at the top of the market before a slight decline.   
We got about $1Million AUD for it, and our purchase price was $525 000AUD.  So we made some major money on the transfer.
We then used that money to buy a luxury car, do some extensive international travel, including a world cruise of 121 nights, and decorate our home with all new items.
It is interesting to note here that timing is everything.  In the 18 months it took to build the property values increased by $200 000, and today we would sell for about $1 million - but we are leaving here in wooden boxes.
What did we get for our money, a beautiful 2 bedroom 2 bath home, with a large study area, a large open plan kitchen, butlers pantry, dinner and living area, and a big outside entertainment area, a small garden and a double garage.
we live in a street with great neighbours, the LGBTIQ ratio is about 1 % there is currently no other male couples, but 1 female couple.  Like any village with 850 people in it, not everyone likes us, and we certainly do not like everyone.  But living in the suburbs is not different.
We have found a group of people who we socialise with, an inner circle who we call family, and an outer circle of people we see on a regular basis.  We do pay just over $1000 AUD a month in fees, for the maintenance of the resort, and all the facilities, 4 pools, 1 indoor heated the hot tubs and sauna, gym, cinema, lawn bowls, ten pin bowling alley, craft rooms, woodwork shop , golf simulator 3 club houses and activities that range from yoga, pilates, exercise classes, art groups, knitting groups etc.
we are very happy, we can walk at night as its gated, we feel safe here, we can walk to the beach (and do) and its a great area to live in.
the town we live in is about 10 000 people, great beaches, and we have a town of 100 000 people about 15 km away, and have access to all the medical care we need, specialists, hospitals, etc.  There is some live theatre, art galleries and concerts etc to go to.
The only downfall is the 4 hour drive south to Brisbane,  expensive regional air fares and a lack of variety in restaurants, lots of places to eat, good food but not a lot of variety.
we knew that when we moved - but the key is your due diligence.
We had a great bunch of friends in Sydney, but many had either fallen by the wayside over the years, as friends can do, or moved away for their retirement dream.  when we finished work we knew we would need to start our social life from the start again, by getting involved in the community.  
Today after almost 4 years here, husband is 71 and still doing some part time work, not for the $$ but because he loves what he does, I 65 and fully retired, and we both do things outside the resort.  I play bridge a couple of times a week, and have joined the local orchid society who meet a couple of times a month, Husband is playing lawn bowls In a club in town, so we are both meeting different people and having interests outside the home.  We have met people who we now see socially and share in harvest dinners and special interest dinners at local foodie places, along with drives in the country to country pubs for lunch etc. 
Life is what you make of it, but you have to find strong foundations first.  It is all about community.  you can find that in the cities and you can find it in the smaller towns and countryside.  
 

If clients want to think of me as straight that’s fine, I can be straight and talk about sports and shake hands after we’ve fucked. If they want me to be bi that’s also fine, I can fuck their wife while sucking their cock. And if they want me to be gay that’s good too, I can discuss the latest Madonna album and the necessity for good mood lighting as I ride their cock. 
It reminds me of the Groucho Marx quote on principles. I’ll adapt it to: 
‘This is my sexual orientation. If you don’t like it I have other sexual orientations’…

 

There is a room with fakes.  Really interesting.  Fascinating to learn about the items and some of their history of the items.  Often overlooked with all the priceless items on display but worth checking out.  

Don't miss the Raphael Cartoons, the Cast Rooms (fakes 😇), and the Glass Galleries (especially the Roman glass)...    if you have an hour to spare - walking to the Natural History Museum and visiting the wildlife photographer of the year exhibition is well worth your time, and if you have a few minutes more go up to the vault on the first floor for the coloured diamond exhibition. 

I had my first sex with a man when I was 17, but I didn't start hiring until I was in my late 30s, and I never did it regularly until I was too old to get it any other way. I finally stopped hiring when I actually lost interest in doing it any longer. I don't think it changed my life in any way, except that turning sex into a commercial transaction made it easier to get what I wanted when I wanted.

Normalize. Candid, playful, and confident wins the day. Bare-gummed an optional accessory package, but I would avoid hyperbole regarding the uniqueness of it, or the ‘your loss’ challenge.
“I wear dentures and I give head, so I can provide the downtown experience in two formats. Nobody taking me up on my offer has complained so far.” 

This brings back very fond memories. One of the best blowjobs I have ever had was  from an older guy in the dark room of a porn cinema in NYC when I was in my late twenties, a very very long time ago. He had no teeth, and the feeling of his smooth gums sliding over my hard dick and playing with my glans was absolutely unique, hot as hell. I remember I shot a huge load, which he greedily gulped.  
It most certainly is.

As a 21 year old coming out in Houston (roughly 100 years ago) I was introduced to, and learned the joys of, video arcades and glory holes...   One early encounter was with an older gentleman who removed his dentures before introducing me to a life-changing blow job...  Years later I'm still aware he set a very high bar that was difficult for others to match...
As someone who experienced what you have to offer - I can only strongly encourage you not to be self-conscious but to go for it.   Those of us (now newly retired), thinking back on early experiences, will remember you.

Because he deserves his very own thread, I’m going to gush. I had the pleasure of meeting @Jamie21  this week during a visit to London. I’ve been wanting to meet him for a while since stalking watching his videos and following him here. What an amazing and intuitive man. He was easy to communicate with and even willing to provide some special requests. His studio is warm and inviting, it felt like a warm hug. MT was thankfully not a problem! His hands are magical and he knew right where to put them and how much pressure to provide. I know I’m fanboying on him but he is seriously the best. Definitely one of the top 10 things to do in London!

Room 91 with the jewels and tiaras was some nice eye candy for me.  Also rooms 65-69 for English silver
