in Firefox, I turned off Enhanced Tracking Protection. that helped with some of the embed twitter videos. Firefox also added a facebook tracking thing that was preventing a lot of things from showing up
Thanks. I think I will just live without the embedded tweets.

anyone else having problems playing twitter embed vids?
Any updates on this issue?
For me, it happens in both Chrome and Firefox on Windows 10. All other video formats work fine. It happens whether or not an ad blocker is enabled. It has been happening for at least a couple of weeks.

Whatever happened to that guy in Houston who got a house with a floor safe in it and couldn't open it? I was hoping for a Geraldo-type ending but we kinda got submarted, I think.
He got in the safe, but then couldn't get out.

So we are planning on a trip to St Lucia end of June. They are apparently going to require proof of a negative Covid-19 test within the 48 hr period prior to arrival.
Wonder if this requirement is enough to get approved for one via your doctor?I'm not suggesting that anyone falsify test results, and think it should be a felony to do so, but am wondering what constitutes proof?

It really wasn’t.
But seriously, if anyone has links to articles that points to the origins of cheese in sausage in Texas, I would be like to read them. Whether it’s purist or not, isn’t the confluence of cultures what makes Texas BBQ the greatest bbq in the world?
Bottom line is I just go to the BBQ joints I like and order the food I enjoy.I agree with everything you said. I have tried many a sausage with cheese in it, but have yet to find one that has caused me to change my preference. Cheese tends to dominate the flavor profile, and I don't like what it does to the texture.

I'm not convinced that turning any computer off every night is beneficial. I had a desktop I never intentionally turned off for fifteen years. Same for my current desktop, which I only turn off for lightning storms (that's what got my last desktop.) There's a theory that the on/off surges can shorten the life of the computer. Recently left my Dell laptop on for a week or so with zero ill effects - keep the cooling vent/s open, make sure the screen turns off after x minutes.
A computer is not a house. Most people aren't holding onto them for 15 years. I turn mine off every night and have never had one die because of it.

I just think that Voltaggio’s strengths are more technical than creative. He can outperform everyone inside the box. It’s when he’s forced outside of it that he struggles.
This.

Voltaggio moving up in the pack on the backstretch.
As long as he is allowed to cook whatever the fuck he wants, he'll be fine. Obviously, as already stated, he still hasn't learned to follow the rules of a challenge.

I've never seen it. Is this radio station on TV or in the movies?

I don't like Tony's personality or the way he plays, but I respect how good he is at Survivor, and he was definitely a deserving winner. That said, I do not give him any credit for not getting votes. There were a lot of "Tony's wheelhouse" challenges this season (including the one at final 5), which is why he almost tied the record for immunities. If that final 5 challenge had a puzzle, there's a good chance Tony ends up on the jury, though it is unlikely he goes out in Ben fashion. When Tony didn't win immunity, he almost always had an idol in his pocket, which was either known or logically assumed by the other players. In short, it's hard to get votes when you are always sitting on immunity. Tony did well outside of the immunities, which is why he was a deserving winner, but he doesn't deserve as much credit for his social game as he is getting.
I was pulling for Natalie, but she did make some mistakes down the stretch...targeting Ben instead of Sarah, showing Sarah (and Tony) her idol, and apparently not challenging Tony to fire. Her argument that she took down the alliance of 4 was very good, but Rob questioning her decision to not make fire really hurt her. I can understand not wanting to make fire when you have a ticket to final tribal in your hand. She should have at least tried to spin it by arguing that people have different strengths, and hers do not include making fire, and that her best opportunity to get rid of Tony was to put him against a better fire maker. She wasn't ducking the challenge; she was playing to her strengths. Alternatively, she could have argued that she wanted to do things her own way, and not follow Chris's blueprints. She could have even resorted to claiming that she wanted the challenge of explaining at final tribal why she was more deserving than Tony, but to sell that, she would have needed to give Tony the second spot.
Mistakes aside, Natalie deserved every vote she got. I was vehemently against Chris winning in the first EoE season, but I can't fault him for playing the game he played. If something is part of the game, it is part of the game, even if I don't like it. Natalie played the hand she was dealt. Upon being the first voted out, she immediately began doing everything she could to get back in. You can hate the game if you want, but hating the player is wrong. Natalie didn't make the rules. She just crushed the game she was given. If you are going to penalize her for going the EoE route, then penalize Tony for relying on idols.
I do feel bad for Michelle. She didn't even get a sympathy vote from Wendell (I'm shocked I'm stunned). Hanging on like a roach that just refuses to be flushed down the toilet just doesn't garner any respect. She outlasted, but she did not outwit or outplay.
Sarah played a great game, but made too many mistakes down the stretch. It would have been interesting to see how she would have done had she beat Tony. Denise appeared to stop playing after taking out Sandra. Ben made the right alliances, but that's all he did, and his description of how different he was this season was phony as hell.
I'm a notorious idol hater, but if they are going to stay, and they are, I would like to see come changes made. I like the idea of playing one as a nullifier, but that allows a third person to hold on to one. There should definitely be fewer. Maybe only allow you to use one as long as you are on the tribe you were on when you found it. If you get moved in a tribe swap or there is a merge, your idol becomes void. Every time an idol is made available, a nullifier is made available as well. You want to really feel safe? You better find both.
It was a good and enjoyable season, even if I would have preferred a different winner.

This probably goes in the unpopular opinions thread, but I;m not a fan of the trend to put cheese in sausage. I like cheese. I like sausage. I do not like them as a pairing.

I want us to trade Dak just so this god damn moronic back and forth on this thread will stop.
That would probably just move the bickering to some other topic. Trolls are going to troll. Can we trade half of the fan base instead?

ESPNU, today 13 May, 5PM, Game 3, 2012 Super Regional, Texas vs Oregon (game 3). If not mistaken, Mike White's initial trip to Austin.
Unfortunate that game 2 (8 inn) which was the pivotal game is not shown. The game that Connie erred in not starting Rachel Fox. Poor Blaire had to start all 3 games. Fox transferred to aggy the following year. Though we went to the WCWS the following year, the 2012 SR really affected the program, imo.
Yes it did, eventually leading to the Mike White era.

IMO, the four Chargers uniforms on the left are the best in the NFL. The two "color rush" on the right?
Not so much.
If you have the first four, why would you ever wear the last two?

This is how the newfangled Chargers should look.
I don't hate the gold pants, but would rather see white pants with gold bolt outlined in the blue, especially with the blue jerseys.

As it stands now its a 4 to 1 majority for Tony Sarah Ben Denise so most likely no matter who comes back from EOE is gonna be on the wrong side of the vote. However, the right someone could pull a little chaos and expose a crack.
There may not be a need to expose a crack. If Nat comes back, she has an idol. If Tyson comes back, he has an idol. If Rob comes back, he has an idol. So if one of those three come back, they aren't immediately being voted out, crack or no crack. Tony and Ben also have idols, which means Sarah and Denise may end up with a great opportunity to pad their resumes.
Also, don't sleep on Tony being Tony and turning on Sarah. It would be very much in character for him to want to make another move and take an EoE returnee to the end to increase his chances. I do not like Tony at all, but I do respect his game play. If he could solve a puzzle, he would be unstoppable.

The Mavs' jersey game has always been very weak.
Put these and Pegasus in the regular rotation, and I'd be a happy camper.

I'm surprised Eric went so early, but you cannot have a bad day when the one of the bottom three has immunity and the other has compromising photos of Tom. I rooted for Voltaggio in his other two seasons, but find him frustrating to watch this go 'round. He seems to have a stubborn case of the Brothers...making great food while ignoring the challenge requirements.
I'm really hoping for a Kevin / Gregory / Melissa final. Unless Bryan suddenly wakes up and realizes that merely cooking good food isn't enough, I don't see how anyone else has a chance, barring an uncharacteristic bad day.
