Windows 11 experiences
I've been running Windows 11 for about a month. Other than a few cosmetic issues, most of which I was able to change to my satisfaction, it's been no different than my Windows 10 experience, which was perfectly fine.

The proliferation of posts being Roethlisbergered is a key indicator that the end is near. We are doomed.

Neither team should get anywhere near those point totals, but I'd certainly be okay with that final score.

Survivor 41
Many have certainly expressed some unflattering sentiments toward Deshawn, but I got the impression that his emotional words from last week's tribal may have earned some sincere sympathy and understanding. When it comes down to it, I think they will want to see a person of color win, and that will trump any reasons they have to vote for someone else, with the possible exception of Ricard. We'll see.

Survivor 41
I agree on Heather, but I'm not willing to count out Deshawn. There is still an idol afloat, assuming that actually is what is in the package that Danny didn't see. If Deshawn makes it to final tribal, he'll get the black vote, and possibly some others if he sells it, especially if he wins immunity or a fire challenge and sends Ricard home.

Survivor 41
I'm not sure how I feel about last night's episode. Deshawn sure is getting a heavy edit, though as we saw with Shan, that may not mean anything and could just be a continuation of the "awareness" theme. It was somewhat ballsy to split the votes, as it could have produced a three way tie if Danny and Deshawn targeted someone other than each other. I guess the revote still would have gone the same way, so it wouldn't have mattered, but it does indicate the level of trust among the current majority alliance. Getting rid of Danny instead of Deshawn feels like a mistake. I have to assume that Ricard engineered that vote, and that the others went along with it to keep the target safely off of themselves. Someone needs to beat Ricard in a challenge, or this thing is over.

Cowboy Bebop - Netflix
Just finished it. As others have said, the music is excellent. My only quibble is that the sex/nudity level seemed deliberately muted compared to the violence.

Ooooooh, that's what she was referring to...now I get it. Username checks out, fucking Roethlisberger fans.

Cord Cutters Thread
Was about to post the same thing. I have never been able to use the native YTTV app, as I bout my Roku devices after the squabble had started. I'll be interested to see how different it is from the YT linked version.

2021 - 2022 Dallas Mavericks: The Vibes are Immaculate
Dirk was a tireless and selfless worker and teammate. It is going to take much more than a better skill set if Luka is ever going to supplant him has Mavs GOAT. Better skills mean nothing if they aren't used to their potential and don't make the team better.

Shoal Creek is where my early '90s geology class would go. Ammonites in very rough condition and small fossilized shark teeth were common finds.

Survivor 41
I agree about Heather, and she was who I was thinking of when I commented about being white at that tribal. She definitely had a deer in the headlights moment there. I suspect they spent more time than usual (re)filming that, and there was probably some coaching on how to respond to those questions. Xander and/or Erika are going to have to make a move if they want to win. It's encouraging that they at least gave it thought before coming to the correct decision. The winner will be Ricard or the person who can convince the jury that they engineered his elimination, assuming they get that far. This hasn't been my favorite season, but I am enjoying more than expected.

Survivor 41
I understand that they want to be more culturally/lifestyle sensitive and that attempting to increase awareness is part of that, but man, I would not have wanted to be a white person at that tribal trying to portray a convincing level of understanding and sympathy. It's a no win situation. And where does Erika fit in to that equation? Does she count as a person of color or is she a person of not the right color? There's no need to respond to any of that, as I don't want to derail Survivor discussion, but it has been difficult to not at least acknowledge the obvious theme of this season without it possibly being offensive. As for the game itself, I think it was the correct move to not target Ricard yet. Voting him out would have evened the alliance numbers at 3, and that's too risky with so many twists. If Xander's extra vote was good for one more week, then I would feel differently. Ricard definitely needs to go at the next opportunity, if there is one. If not, then Erika and Xander aren't playing to win.

The debate is over- it's not the seating, it's the students
It's not that we can't see your point, it's that you feel the need to make it a handful of games into Beard's first season after a game against a scrub team on a Monday after the Thanksgiving holiday. This event was the first of its kind. Getting a super enthusiastic student fanbase isn't going to happen immediately just because Beard is doing way more than any of us expected. I know you are worried that Beard is going to develop a "why should I bother" attitude, but that's not who he is. If he can produce the team he deserves, he will get the fans he deserves. Enjoy the process and let him do what he does. Also, your non-debate needs to be directed at the students. I'm not going to pretend to know the demographics of Surly posters, but I don't think many students post here.

'75 or '76. The former would have had Tovar and Nelson, the latter Beniquez and Pape. It's probably '75.

Based on the player numbers on the scoreboard, that looks like a mid-'70s roster. CF-12 Pepe Tovar or Juan Beniquez 2B-5 Dave Nelson or Ken Pape DH-15 Roy Smalley RF-20 Jeff Burroughs 1B-21 Mike Hargrove LF-6 Tom Grieve 3B-7 Lenny Randle SS-11 Toby Harrah C-10 Jim Sundberg
