  1. Seems mostly like a Toyota thread but I'll chime in with a few thoughts and food for thought on the Bronco. I bought one in October. 4 door hard top Wildtrack with the Sasquatch package. No I will probably not ever use some of those features unless I get stuck in the snow but all of that aside it is a bad ass vehicle and I love it. Mine has the 3.6 turbo and it moves. The gas mileage sucks but it does have an eco mode and I don't drive a ton of miles. It is finally warm enough here that I started messing with the top panels. I wanted the hard top because of where I live and also because at the time Ford wasn't selling the factory hard top and I read that if they were going to in the future it would be 5k+. My plan was to buy a factory soft top on the secondary market and swap out the hard top for the soft top in the summer. Found a soft top for $1k and grabbed it. Changed them out today and it wasn't easy. I found removing the hard top panels for the front and second row pretty easy and a one person job. We'll see how much I like the soft top in the summer but right now I'm thinking sticking with the hard top may be the way to go. One thing that is fucking stupid is Ford does not give you all of the parts you need for the soft top if you get a hard top even though they all fit on the vehicle with the hard top on. They don't even sell a conversation kit. There's about $300 worth of bolts and brackets you have to source on your own to install the soft top. Pic with the roof off today.
  2. An apk for an app that I can no longer find in the play store or even on downloader. All of the links are dead. The device has USB ports but somehow I do not have a single USB to USB cable in the house. Is there a way to do this wirelessly somehow? If I had a damn USB cable I could move it onto a laptop and then from laptop onto my other device. Google search produces results for things I'm not trying to do. Yes it does have a single HDMI port but it's not for sale.
  3. I have two comments. First I'm not sure if he's disabled or not, but at this point I don't fucking care. Get that damn kid doing his fancy selfie jump hitting that pose in the Pixel commercial off of my fucking TV. Now. Second, why does my algorithm seem to think I give a fuck about that Stephen A has to say about anything? He is just a loudmouth obnoxious fan. I am sick of his shit popping up on my Twitter and IG. I do not follow that clown. Why is he even on TV? The TVs at the gym this morning were tuned into some other god awful round table diarrhea salad show and they were doing a fucking segment on some statement that Screamin A made about LeBron and the Knicks. He is not even on that particular show. Who holds this guy's basketball opinions in high regard exactly?
  4. Whoever pays next pays Derka. The straggler pays me.
  5. @ztejas @Capn81 Hey guys you square up yet? Thanks.
  6. My wife still doesn't understand how a thermostat works. We are damn near 50 years old. She is a smart enough person to grasp the concept. She has a Masters degree. What kills me is that she just doesn't want to. If i try to connect the dots I'm mansplaining.
  7. BI is hilarious. I guess it's 4/20 or close enough to it.
  8. Well this thread has invaded my algorithm. Next time try the hangsmart TV. No studs. Instagram swears by it.
  9. Posting styles are quite different indeed. 2.0 once bitched about people mixing them up. I said hey maybe um change your handle? I'm sure there's a backstory there that I missed. That is one angry dude.
  10. Damn Sooner blew a bunny in the 4th and bricked a couple of 3s. Where is Jontay Porter when you need him?
  11. Forgot about that. Let's get the champ paid up and I'll worry about that later.
  12. This is pretty simple then. Regular season champ is Derka, owed 200. He will collect from his boys in real life. Champion is Derka, owed 500 minus his own buy in and 4 people need to send him $100 each. That would be @RexWilson @Dutchrudder @ztejas @Capn81. Please do not PM Derka but Venmo him. Second place is me, owed $200 minus my own buy in, I am owed $100 which Fish Friends will pay me in real life (eye roll) Third place is money back, so @BallamaticBevo is square. Please check in when you have paid. Hope we can run it back next year with a tweaked playoff schedule.
  13. Congrats to @shadow_operative2??
  14. Quotation marks emphasized.
  15. There is a pillow made for what you're describing. Something like this. Arm goes in the hole relieving pressure = no more numbness. I can't vouch for it but I'm sure it won't be long before this starts happening to me and I am buying one. https://www.amazon.com/MedCline-Reflux-Relief-Medical-Clinically/dp/B01N4TQOVJ/ref=sr_1_8?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.7SXPUwcOCvV-BxBahxQKH-lerEmreGEHYdjkIj29L1XwbG8aeV58MUfIg4eRwV3HWN803MupbwQM1VMsNiKQMf7jsImPRGIgodu4MdgRg6jFBXsz5HWajlOguYcQ2KRV8DP8WMeIbb2KJ9nBz-8Y2RUBmFhNnmAMXFRiZl9UgL245ZEfhXOa_3QHYSld9ruWY5M6L0jqaZm7ek7ixvreNzxNNz2MjvPElTtHECtizA_AbgC_EhVSRNXNzTfJd-Ifns3ZTxjZ7MNoZqGj5qWFXkKR5IBAYA2CL5qZXMFRum4.sPWKiVdcgKV5gTpsTOcZKnUF236RLRJZ83JNd-hC4Ag&dib_tag=se&keywords=side%2Bsleeper%2Bpillow%2Bwith%2Barm%2Bhole&qid=1712931669&sr=8-8&th=1
  16. Funny I just posted about my shoulder MRI in the MRI thread a few hours ago. Hurt my shoulder benching (dumbbells). Symptoms sounded similar to yours. This is what the results showed. I just turned 47. Injured it in December, got the MRI results late January. It is still not healed. I work with a trainer and he works around it. I am a side sleeper that doesn't sleep very well, meaning I toss and turn from one side to the other all night. I believe that sleeping on my left side is preventing it from healing but at this point in my life I value sleep a lot so it's hard to rectify that. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK582148/#:~:text=Distal clavicular osteolysis results from,bench pressing or overhead lifting
  17. I had one done on my shoulder a few months ago. I am generally not claustrophobic and have had plenty of MRIs on my knees, back elbow, etc. The shoulder one was not fun. It helps to keep your eyes closed the entire time and remember that the other end is open. Try to keep your mind occupied, count sheep or go through baseball lineups or whatever you can do to keep your mind off of it. I would not take a gummy as that might lead to paranoia. I would look into a xanax or something if I had to do it again. Sorry this isn't a terribly uplifting post for your situation. I've had them before where they give you headphones and let you listen to music, that is also helpful. For this shoulder one, they did not.
  18. I did not realize what had been going on with Derka. Damn. He is going to win this championship. Do you have a way to get in touch with him @ztejas so we can get him paid?
  19. Read my post above. It couldn't be easier. You do not need to configure your smart tv in anyway. Just download and log in.
  20. I have express vpn. I also have used Nord in the past. Both are fine. When you sign up for the service you will get a username and password. You will download the app to your device that you want to use and log in. You can select the suggested "smart location" or you can drill down and pick from a number of US or even foreign locations. Hit connect. You're in. I can't speak to all of the services where you might procure your sports subscriptions but I can confirm that if you were to purchase MLB Xtra innings or NBA League Pass via Amazon Prime, and you use the VPN before connecting, you can watch blacked out games. I fear that Amazon may be patching this (the smart ones prevent it by saying you are connected to a VPN. You can't access content until you are not connected to a VPN). I have received similar messaging a couple of times over the past 2 years, but it only lasts for a day or two and then I have no problems accessing stuff despite being connected to the VPN. It helps to know how to clear your data and cache for Prime. Yes it can impact performance if you don't have a fast Internet connection. I do not have fiber here and I rarely have issues but there have been a few occasions where I have had buffering streams and disconnecting the VPN solved the issue. I should add that all of my experience is on a smart TVs/Amazon fire devices and maybe on a laptop. I don't know how it would work on a smart phone if your wireless connection is pinging off of a local tower. You may have to turn cellular off and strictly use WiFi. That's all I know, hope it is helpful.
  21. The fact that this bitch sat up there today and said that they were good parents and that this could happen to anybody alone should be enough to throw away the key. She does not get it.
