Hey guys!
Cody Walker here - you may know me as Paul Walker's younger bro and actor in the Fast & Furious movies.
This Sunday, October 1st @ 11AM PST I'm running my third annual #Game4Paul, a livestreamed gamethon created in honor of Paul to raise money for his organization Reach Out Worldwide (ROWW). ROWW is network of volunteers committed to providing critical help to those in crises and focuses on the medical, humanitarian aid, and recovery fields both domestically and internationally.
This year's #Game4Paul is the biggest yet. We have hours of gameplay with the Fast & Furious family, musical performances, on-stream raffles, donation incentives and more. One of the raffle items is a one-of-a kind Xbox One S modeled after Paul's 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse in the first fast & Furious movie.
Stream at Mixer.com/xbox or Twitch.tv/Xbox

Hit me with any questions!!!
EDIT: That's all the time I have for today, thank you so much for having me! Be sure to tune in this Sunday at 11AMPST to the stream for lots of surprises
Here are just a few examples from my iPad early this morning. Yes, I have the AirBNB and Tripadvisor apps installed, but they are not running.
Nevertheless, I see DNS lookups for what seem to be worldwide domains for these apps, along with many others. These two are by far the most aggressive, but LinkedIN and Yelp are also up there.
Waze, NY Times, Marriott, Amazon, etc. all have at least one entry as well.
Any ideas what is happening here?

So, I see on Serebii news about the new Shiny Zacian/Zamazenta codes being available worldwide, but we here in Australia are missing out again. It's nothing new, but... You can't trade Event Pokemon usually nowadays, and the overseas codes won't work for our games. We miss out so badly we can't even TRADE for them. Just... Why? I know our population is small, but they're not even in the capital cities, just completely and utterly unavailable. Even the Zeraora Event that was supposed to be here, a lot of stores didn't even recieve the codes! I'm so frustrated.

Notable Box Office Stories:
-
Avengers: Infinity War (cont.) - For a film all about bringing balance to the universe, the box office has been extremely unbalanced lately as all competitors have given Infinity War as much space as it wants. The film had a great third weekend dropping 46% to come in #1 for third weekend in a row with $61.8M. However the more interesting news was in China where the film finally opened to a massive $200M in the country. That is the second highest Chinese opening ever behind Fate of the Furious in local currency (RMB 1.352B for Fate vs RMB 1.266B for Infinity War) but do to a better exchange rate Infinity War is now the best Chinese debut in USD. It's also the first time ever a film has debuted to $200M+ in more than one territory. That impressive opening plus a general worldwide dominance means the film has cracked into the top 5 highest grossing films in just three weeks of release with $1.6B so far. It is only $70M away from the lifetime gross of the 4th place spot Jurassic World (which it should easily pass) and then it faces the next big hurdle, becoming the first MCU film to crack $2B. The film is in prime reach to do so, but faces actual competition next week with Deadpool 2 and then followed by Solo (which is tracking better than redditors would love to admit). But both of those franchises aren't major worldwide forces especially in Asian countries so expect Infinity War to still march on unopposed to an easy $2B haul.

Life of the Party - Quite frankly the fact any movie not called Infinity War is making money is a minor miracle so in a sense the latest Melissa McCarthy vehicle Life of the Party opening to #2 with $18.5M isn't THAT bad. However when you consider where the film lands in terms of McCarthy's entire career, yeah it's not looking so great. The film, which is the third McCarthy film directed and written by her husband Ben Falcone, was the worst debut for any McCarthy comedy film dropping below previous "winner" Tammy which still managed to crack over $20M. At least the film managed to top previous Falcon
Hi,
I have several ideas/potential avenues to assist in funding a continuation of Utopia, and I would like to reach out to Mr. Kelly himself, so that I could get the ball rolling and determine what needs to be done/if this is even possible. I'm pretty sure that it's possible to reach out to him, as it has been done before. If somebody could help me get in contact w/ him or someone close to Utopia, that would be really appreciated. Thank you!
Do you think that Spider-Man: No Way Home can reach $1 billion worldwide before it debuts in China or do you think China will be the movie that pushes it past the $1 billion mark (if it reaches it at all)?
I am currently an attorney applying to a few positions at a specific federal agency. I noticed I am connected to a regional director of that agency on LinkedIn. I definitely remember he sent me a LinkedIn request about a year ago which I accepted and I am pretty sure we have never met. But, we have a ton of mutual connections from my law school. I was thinking about sending him a message to see if my background matches what the agency looks for or would consider. He has been with this agency for several decades and is not located in the region to which I am applying. I have been applying to federal agencies for years and typically get referred but have only reached the interview stage once (a month ago, still waiting to hear back...or not). I know the fed system is tough to get into so I don't want to keep wasting my time or do anything stupid in the process. Any insight would be great.
I know that you don't know me, but if you need someone to talk to about anything that you're going through, you can message me. I am 31 years old, current military, and have dealt with anxiety and depression for many years. I've been through a lot of different experiences and might be able to help you.
