  1. I am starting to redo my setup. I have a need to mount 3 flat screens vertically. They can have a max height of 26" so that likely means 50" or slightly smaller if I can find without going down to 43". Can a single 2x4 stud hold that kind of weight? What are my options?
  2. Mr. Petty King going off tonight should have been more obvious. Damn I could have cleaned up on the parlays.
  3. The scene with him holding the hospital bed with Dixon strapped to it out of the helicopter was a tad (no pun intended) much I will admit. Favorite line of the season that did make me LOL was when Terminator said to Reacher on the phone "What is it that you want?" and Reacher thought about it for a second and said "I want to throw you out of a helicopter."
  4. It was bad. I enjoyed it.
  5. Getting there!
  6. A lady on nextdoor is selling a Caraway 6.5 qt Dutch oven new in box for 70 bucks. Looks like $180 new. I've never used or felt I needed to use a Dutch oven but I'm going to go for it. I'm loving the new kitchen and having fun cooking on the new range so why not.
  7. It was his blood pressure. Genetic. He started on meds and they're already working. I need to get my ass to the doctor. I'm an only go when something is wrong guy. I'm really scared of what they're going to tell me and I have been for a good 15 years so I don't go. I guess the alternative is worse.
  8. It doesn't feel great on my knees but I just realized I can do a full depth bodyweight squat. Like my damn hamstrings touching my calves. 3 years ago that angle was probably 110 degrees. I'm still falling apart at 46, but the work with the trainer and his guidance on shit my joints will allow me to do has really made a huge difference. Sorry for the humblebrag. It's been a rough week and I need to go to bed tonight feeling happy about where I'm at physically. A coworker (49) told me today that he had a heart jerk last week. He runs 30 miles a week, eats perfect, doesn't drink or smoke. 6'0, 173. Between that and the Warriors assistant coach keeling over at 46 and I'm going to keep making changes in a positive direction.
  9. So basically I buy the dakboard CPU and a smart TV and that's a wrap? Do I need to hang the TV vertically? Seems like it would be nice to use it as a TV if I were so inclined.
  10. Bears, Broncos, Saints are the 3 teams that don't have a choice. Bears could be fun if they hire KK and draft Williams.
  11. I have been contemplating some kind of setup to display the family Google calendar on a flat screen in the kitchen. Anyone do this? If so, app or setup recommendations? I was initially thinking touchscreen but that might be overkill. I think input from phones/laptop is fine but it would be nice to have something more in your face for the shithead kids and husband who forget to look at the calendar on the phone.
  12. It has been a few years but there is light rail from the airport to downtown that integrates with the subway. As I recall it was quite easy and convenient. Maybe a 20-30 minute ride.
  13. I didn't realize that was an option. Of course I never really looked. Upgraded to 20/month.
  14. The Drew Brooks piece was pretty heartbreaking. I can't imagine. I'm going through some stuff with my oldest and something like this helps put it into perspective. Also there is not currently, nor in my opinion has there ever been, a better theme song/intro music than Hard Knocks. Cheers be damned. Instantly gets me fired up.
  15. I pay 3.50 a month (tree fiddy) for something. I would pay more for sure. I've been on here a long time and it's a pretty cool community. I won't contribute to nil stuff, Texas, MSU or otherwise. If giving more for the board infrastructure but not nil is an option let me know.
  16. Update. Sent my mother in law in to the store covertly back when this was going down to order 250 sq ft of the same flooring. I have it on hand. In the meantime mil saw the carpet we are doing in the basement and decided it would be a nice Christmas gift for us to carpet the main stairway, upstairs hallway and master suite addition in the same carpet. This was never in scope with the contractor. She bought through the same store. Last week they were here to install the lvt. I told them what was going on, and that I wanted them to come back and do the living room when they come to do the carpet. They said great, thank you, call the store and tell them. I've been waiting a week for a quote and I found out why. Indeed they went to the builder and asked his permission. And he said no. I said why can you do that carpet upstairs for us but not the floor and they said it's because he never gave us a quote for that area. To think I even told him I had payment ready for the other change orders. Now I will definitely not be scratching that check until every last thing is completed to my satisfaction. Asshole.
  17. Would the nerdy/perky dentist girl in the Crest commercials in the purple scrubs with the glasses https://twitter.com/HorrorGuerrero/status/1703117192462741973
  18. That is crazy..
  19. I already chose A stop gloating.
  20. I don't wade into the cesspool that is the football board but just wanted to say to you Horns GL tomorrow and I'm rooting for you. Here are my preferred outcomes. 1. Texas 2. Washington 3. Saban 4. Alien Invasion 5. Apocalypse 6. Human Extinction
  21. Just read Season 2 is a go. Let's hope it's closer to the first half of S1 than the second.
  22. I don't travel as much as some of you all but I have played the points game a lot starting last year. Between buying travel for myself and family members and cc spend on all of my Amex cards (fly Delta primarily) I made silver medallion. Just got notice in the mail today. Does that mean I've got status for all of 3 days? 😂
  23. I mean if he wants to fuck horses who am I to judge? He and Now This are hopefully plotting their triumphant returns together.
  24. I'm not sure what shipping costs are like but these guys are who I went with. I was previously set on the top of the line Goalrilla but there really was little comparison. The website is janky to say the least but it's a really quality hoop. https://www.proshotbasketballgoals.com/
  25. I don't have any experience with it rusting but I did put in an in-ground hoop and I will take every opportunity to post a picture of it because it rarely gets used so I need to get at least some mileage out of it.
