  1. Non gamer. I'm just making guesses based on what we saw and some of the after show stuff.
  2. She didn't kill Ellie because there wouldn't still be a show. Abby has come to command the 7 kingdoms. Isaac and the other girl are dead after they invaded the Scars, as he predicted. I'm not sure on what technically Ellie survived (and likely so did Tommy) but they did. So is your starting point for Season 3. Not great writing or directing Bob.
  3. Who is the cheese dick sitting court side behind Carlisle in full Indy car suit complete with helmet on the floor?

    Getting old sucks

    Had the scope yesterday. By midnight I was getting around and doing stairs without crutches. Today I did the after school pickups and the stairs 3-4x. I might have done too much. It definitely hurts worse tonight than it did last night. The swelling. 😂
  5. Yep I am thinking the same. WTF did I just watch last night? That was the craziest shot since Kawhi over Joel. What an effing game.
  6. This is fucking nuts.
  7. @Prepuce of Doom to answer your question, though, no, in my experience the stream from a plug in toilet will not be as strong as the water pressure stream from a $30 model unless thestand-alones/smart toilets have some significant jet motor powered internals that the add ons do not have. I've had a few of the expensive ones, even returned one that wasn't powerful enough. I did some research and the plug in add on model with the strongest stream is the Bio Bidet 2000. It is what I currently use in my own bathroom. It has an enema mode which is quite a bit stronger than any of the other add on models I've used and I like it a lot but it is still not as powerful as the $30 water pressure model when you crank it all the way up. The warm seat and water have grown on me as have the awesome neon lights, remote and cool beeps. It has a built in fan which is nice but I find the heated blower pretty useless but maybe that's because I'm blasting my ass and taint with enema mode.
  8. Yeah they can definitely spin Freddie any way they choose, it was just what popped into my head at the time. Who else knows it's me, Freddie? Just me and Ritchie (Throws him off the roof) Probably some recall from The Departed dancing around in my brain.
  9. Yeah Conrad is definitely evolving with each episode, though maybe devolving is a better word. I guess it is intentional at this point, which is why I think our rat might be Harry himself. The obvious answer is Maeve but ask yourself who could Freddie have fingered that would result in himself getting thrown off of the roof? It would be Harry, followed by Jan and his stupid daughter, neither of which seems likely. I think Maeve being the rat is a red herring. Also what's up with Colin and Richie, are we meant to believe that Colin served up Fisk and the other detective to get murdered my Richie? I think so but wasn't super clear.
  10. Yeah and Kevin knows it. Brutal. I will say again, as hateful as he is, the dude who is playing Eddie is absolutely nailing it. It is going to be so glorious when Harry eventually kills him and every single person watching this show has gotta be on board with that. Retract my previous comment about Maeve being smart unless there was some 4D chess manipulation going on there with Kevin. That was pathetic and not well written. To the point that I feel like I am missing out on some 4D chess by Maeve but I don't think I am, I think it was just that lazy. Really fun show and I can't wait for the next episode, but there is definitely some stuff that is going to keep me from putting it in the great category.
  11. Fantastic episode imo. Maybe the best one yet, either season. So much so that I was disappointed when in the post-episode recap they talked about many of the scenes being from the video game. Great storytelling with the flashbacks on how Ellie came to realize what happened in SLC and how her resentment for Joel grew. Loved also the call back to Joel's childhood, and psyched to see Lalo make an appearance. Also, a thought/prediction. I'm going to spoiler it, even though I'm a non game player and don't know what will happen
  12. I just finished last night and started reading the replies and bravo you said it much more succinctly than I could have. Also why do they alternately portray Ellie as a zombie killing badass and then a dumber than a 10 year old idiot when Dina is making battle plans. For the better part of an episode there, Dina was giving main character energy and Ellie was just the doofus sidekick. And then at the end she's Jason Bourne again. The plot is still good and interesting, and I still think Ramsey is a kick ass actor with plenty of good scenes. And I like Dina and think her character is well acted, too, but yeah the writers are forcing the relationship plot line a little too much right now imo. Less talking, more scissoring.
  13. The best part about KD absolutely annihilating Acho is that just yesterday he won some award for being the most media friendly player in the league.
  14. That stuffer is very similar to mine. It works. Not fun, not easy but I don't get the sense that has anything to do with the type or quality of the stuffer.
  15. I just want to say that I have been trying to incorporate 'innit?' into my every day vocabulary. I'm not sure how it's going. I think my wife would probably say not well.
  16. That's not outlawing zone blocking, it means you can't run running plays in short yardage situations. It's usually you have a set of downs to get to midfield, and another set of downs if you make midfield to get into the end zone. You can "punt" on 4th down (or 3rd if it's a 3 down league) by just giving the other team the ball back and they have to start from their own 10 or 20 yl. It's a good rule for the purposes of safety.
  17. Thank you for your input.
  18. Why does it seem like 50% of the time during these reviews we get a solid 2 minutes of analysis and slow mo replays, even a kick to Steve Javie in addition to the broadcast of the ref's ruling (hopefully it's Kennedy)? And the other half of the time they bullshit with each other about inane non related basketball topics, kick it to commercial or to a sideline reporter, and then come back and are like 'and oh by the way, Minnesota won their challenge'. The first few times I noticed this I thought I was making it up but I think I see an instance of each pretty much every night.
  19. Great episode. Conrad is a useless blowhard. Kevin is just useless. If Kevin is smart enough to know Maeve ordered the bombing you have to think Harry is, regardless of what Conrad is saying. I think this may come down to a Maeve/Eddie alliance vs a Harry/Serraphina alliance. How many times has Conrad said 'It's not Harry!'? Definitely makes you think Maeve is going to be pushing the Harry is the rat narrative. Characters that are too dumb to survive: Jan, Kevin, Conrad Characters that are too smart to kill off: Harry, Serraphina, Maeve Maeve and Eddie are so contemptible. That's good casting, writing and acting.
  20. Additional context. Every time my kid played, the seasons I coached and others, he wound up on a team of "randoms". Many/most of the other teams in the league stayed together and moved up together. The coaches all had complex systems that the kids had been running for years. So his teams sucked every year, including the most of the years I coached. Mercied many times. That was a decent part of the reason it was not super fun.
  21. Good luck. I coached basketball for both my son and daughter, baseball (son) and flag football (son). Flag was the worst. Yet somehow I coached 3 separate teams because other parents knew it sucked and no one would step up. My first year was 2nd/3rd coed. It was the only year we had a decent team, yet during one game - a loss, not coincidentally - I counted EIGHT kids on our team that cried. No exaggeration. Only 1 of them was a girl (she cried every week). My tip is coach them to use the sidelines on defense as a defender. Do not be that kid that chases the other team to the sidelines and then allows the ball carrier to cut back. My kid was particularly good at doing that. Everyone wants the ball, everyone wants to play QB, and then when they go 3 and out or throw a pick, they cry. Especially Mary Jo. I'd do it again, though, those are some good and funny memories. Coaching hoops and baseball on the other hand was a blast.
  22. Yeah. The only part that sort of jibes with the show is I'ma hit your business if for momentary blissness. Like you said the rest is just word salad that rhymes. But I also like it. Will Harry go all Lalo Salamanca and single handedly down an army of cartel assassins? I suspect yes. This show is a really fun watch even though you have to suspend a lot of reality. I like the call of Harry turning for the Stevensons. Interesting thought Prepuce.
  23. I thought it was fine. I am not shocked that I read this thread 4 days later and people are complaining about how unrealistic shit in the zombie show is. What I am curious about is if somehow Ellie is passing her immunity to the fetus via rigorous scissoring. (Non video game player)
  24. He's definitely nice. He had some shooting woes last year post ASG that were related to I think a wrist injury and a lot of folks held it against him. He is also one of the top shit talkers in the league, which can be pretty fun. He has guys on absolute skates these days, no one can stay in front of him. If he's hitting from outside he's... Really good.
  25. Scotts weed and feed commercial blonde mom in green shirt would get it.
