  1. It’s a pretty sick soundbar and definitely a good value. Just wanted to give people a shot to get it at sold out woot price before I just return it. my wife vetoed it and we went with the S801b ultra slim low profile white one. It sounds alright but nowhere near what this one would have been.
  2. I got too busy to post but we had an OTF viewer meet and greet with the team there on Wednesday from 3-5. Posse East was fun. Walked over to crown and anchor after and it’s shittier than I remembered.
  3. It’s a joke although all of us do like motorsports generally.
  4. https://sports.yahoo.com/meet-the-man-responsible-for-bringing-disorder-to-college-athletics--and-who-could-shape-its-future-140412574.html this is getting to endgame.
  5. Top of the line Samsung soundbar with wireless surrounds, subwoofer and soundbar. Bought open box on Woot for a great deal. MSRP of 1899, on sale for 1299 right now at Best Buy and Samsung. I got it for 760 + tax. Just looking to not lose money so whatever it is 860 or 880 for it I’ll bring it to you in Austin for free. A lot faster than having to wait in eBay which is the only place even close on price.
  6. Surly is officially 3 degrees from this. A screenshot from a group chat I’m in lol
  7. Why are you so miserable? Seriously what’s in it for you?
  8. the main issue is that it's not drywall. There is no way 1/8" wood paneling can hold a TV this size with any mount without studs or extra material that wouldn't just tear like paper.
  9. the issue is the cable it comes with not that it needs power up top. It is detached from all the inputs and everything it's called a connect box. That cable, for whatever reason is not in-wall rated. It's hardly visible and when the cabinet is open it's a vibe. That's a record player in there with real speakers in the cabinet. It is centered now I think that was just a picture she took of the first pass she lowered those runners and centered it. I've also fixed the wires a bit more to where they are basically not noticeable unless you look for them, like when people look they are invisible unless you ask them about the wires and they are like oh there they are. The slim mount is on there, I didn't get a picture of it before we through the TV on we didn't just put the tv on a $20 flat bar hahahaha. The $300 flat mount that comes with the TV is behind the tv and mounted through the flat bar. It was a pretty complicated install for a TV because it's on 1/8" paneling with studs not available for the mounts that make it flush with the wall.
  10. I mean it's pretty obvious this is going to be a severe thunderstorm, we aren't talking about just rain lol
  11. If you came into dick's last resort and told the waiter they were being a dick and mean to you and that you needed to speak to the manager, then the manager came out and explained to you that it's a theme restaurant that the entire premise is that the server's are dicks to you and that's kinda the fun of hte restaurant and then you told them "WELL BY GOLLY I WONT BE COMING BACK AND IF YOU WERE MORE LIKE THE APPLEBEES WAITERS YOUD HAVE 50% MORE CUSTOMERS" that's you, right now.
  12. You think this is a professional website? I didn't know this was the bastion of professionalism. My bad, I thought this was a website on the internet that has the tagline: I must have gotten lost on my way to business insider or something.
  13. You come in here with hot takes claiming I don't know my own business model, I explain to you the exact business model and you don't even refute it. You just continue to triple down on some premise that is actually a figment of your imagination. Our customer acquisition model isn't to get everyone on the internet to come here and post. If you read this thread at all you would realize that there is a balance on who the community wants here and it's not the shitposters from twitter and it's not the mindless drone content consumers from Instagram and tiktok. You know what we need more of? Young people who are ~22-28. You didn't read this thread though, because you don't care about _actually_ being right or presenting fact based evidence showing that we are "excluding 50% of our potential donor base to burnt ends". Instead you come in here acting like a persecuted member of society when in reality you are just a completely deranged person who is living in a fake bubble lala land of your own creation.
  14. Here's a spoiler alert for you. People like this site because we have no corporate overlords and we don't give a shit what the institution thinks about what our users say. Our brand has always been irreverence to the established "proper fandom" experience. This is a place for people who love hard and hate hard, with opinions they feel strongly about and are willing to spend time thinking through why they formulated those opinions. We don't sunshine pump, we don't set an agenda, we let the community self moderate and go where it needs to go without outside intervention from anyone else.
  15. I think you have no idea what you are talking about and it's extremely evident. You think the market for message boards is growing, like you honestly believe that? You think that there are MORE fans now than there were in 2004-2009? That's a serious question, you think people are more engaged with Longhorn sports and football specifically than 20 years ago? You think people want to come here and talk politics and news? Like that's what you think this site is? Weren't you the one who said that football board isn't even busy and is dead during the season when there's no way to actually slice the data that paints a picture of that? Nothing, not access patterns, not a single metric. You think that football, recruiting and talk around that is not the driving force behind this website? You think it's "Texas news and current events"? You think our food board is just so legendary that people come from all over the internet to read our threads?
  16. revenue is up not down. Ads were down because of a depressed market and apparently I was serving blank impressions to logged in users for the better part of 5 months. Oops. NIL program specific revenue is down and I’ve answered that pretty clearly. If you don’t want to pay players because of some shit that happens in cloak room on this website then whatever. I don’t make any money off it. I lose 3.5% because I gross up the payment processing fees. half of the potential market for surly is not turned off/away/leaving/gone/whatever the fuck it is you are insinuating because of cloak room and the general discussion which is similar everywhere, not just on surly.
  17. God damn the last like 6 posts have be dying.
  18. Being a moron isn't trolling. Being a moron and being shown you are being a moron and continuing to be a moron is trolling.
  19. there was one really consistent piece of feedback I got yesterday. A LOT of people like OTF because it's SUPER inclusive and there is no sidebar bullshit or drama between the posters. They are there to be fans and get info and interact with the OTF team, not to talk shit or disagree with each other on hot takes. I think by and large they represent the majority of the fanbase, want to stay current, love the horns, but don't necessarily have many of their own opinions - reflects the gen pop well.
