  1. yep, lol. Texags was like "I guess OAN is only mainstream news source left now"
  2. nice! i find the app kinda dangerous. it's always right after the mid afternoon beer/cocktail session that I think "Self, we really should be able to break our top speed if we throw just a little more caution to the wind"
  3. not a firestick, but just through the TV that was Amazon capable, but good point in that i don't think i have messed with any audio options in there.. I did see some specific articles about the sound on Tenet and how hard it was to hear the talking, so I was not alone there.
  4. i just want a countdown thread to track the decline into socialism. Maybe we should also combine the decline into Marxism in there as well. Now that i think about it the decline into communism would fit right in there as well.
  5. you can outsource it to the police...for free Sounds like the mom called the cops on her 9yo from what i can make out reading the story. so there you go. all the pepper spray, none of the guilt
  6. my source is inferring from tweets by the Dallas county judge, but I think they get a bulk shipment and stick people till they run out.
  7. Just you wait. When KP is healthy, this team is going places! "you miss 65% of the shots you always take" - Michael Scott I want to believe, truly want to believe, that when everyone gets back they can start perform at a high level again and put some wins together, but it's at the point where KP is missing everything and if Jr is not on fire, we don't have a chance no matter what Luka does. Call me a bad fan, but I just want to tune in to the first quarter to see how Luka is doing then look at the score late to see if it's worth tuning in. Last game I was like sweet! 96 all in the 4th should be a great finish...sad trombone as CP3 lifts his leg on the Mavs down the stretch on his way to cash a SS check.
  8. so I have a super basic setup not worthy of calling a 'home theater'. It's a TV connected to a decent sound bar + sub. Have always noticed (going back to every other set up) that the talky parts of a movie are hard to hear while the booms are deafening. Got around to watching Tenet and they were whispering compared the action scenes. was constantly adjusting the volume depending on the scene. Anyway, is the only solution to add a receiver to mix where you can actually tweak the levels? I have the soundbar setup to lessen the bass and raise the treble, but it's pretty basic. - was streaming Tenet through Amazon if if matters, but it was way way worse than anything I have experienced with the audio in some time.
  9. just gotta keep the powder dry for the next FA crop. just gotta keep the powder dry for the next FA crop. just gotta keep the powder dry for the next FA crop. just gotta keep the powder dry for the next FA crop. just gotta keep the powder dry for the next FA crop. just gotta keep the powder dry for the next FA crop. just gotta keep the powder dry for the next FA crop. just gotta keep the powder dry for the next FA crop. just gotta keep the powder dry for the next FA crop. just gotta keep the powder dry for the next FA crop. fingers crossed this year.
  10. the criticism is starting. I think Craig (ticket) tweeted about it over the weekend. People are not going to be kind if/when they think that poor coaching is going the be cause of Luka bailing on Dallas.
  11. Holy shit, there was a 1/2 grade dad that was already telling his kid to ignore the coach? I have never experienced that thankfully, but I have never had a ringer type player either that would even come close to warrant it. The strangest thing i had was a dad came to practice and told me his son would not working with the team today. He would instead be running overheads around the court while we practiced because he messed up at school or something. I think we were 2nd grade. So we are practicing and this kid was running around the outside of the court with tears steaming out the entire time. Thankfully left after 30 minutes, but was back the back the next practice ready to work. Yeah, there is always 'that one kid' who you wish was not in the rotation, but it can make for some cool moments. I had a 4th grade team where i had lost a good chunk of my team from last year so I agreed to merge with the remnants of a team that had folded but still had 3 kids that wanted to play together. Skill-wise i got a good big, a timid small and a kid that was legit special in some way. Load noises really bothered him and he had probably had a 1st grader's hand-eye coordination and could not run but sorta shuffled quickly. League had sub rules where everyone played at least half the game, so had to get the line up just right to compensate because we played m2m D exclusively. Anyway, fast forward through to the end of 4th grade season and I seriously considered asking the other coach to let him just get a shot up in the last game, like a make-a-wish type deal, but held off. In the 5th grade season he had improved quite a bit (he did try hard in practice) and when he finally scored a bucket in a game the whole team went crazy and celebrated like we just won game 7 of the finals. it was really cool to see.
  12. This, after buying a new board that's been sitting unused in my closet after getting shut out last year, I am dying to get into some snow at some point this year. I can do w/o the lodge and apres ski.
  13. in my personal bubble it keeps popping up more. - Kids have been at school full time pretty much since the start with no issues. Son was deemed a close contact to a kid in his advisory class that tested positive so he's doing the quarantine thing for 2 weeks. We did the rapid test on the way home from getting him and he tested negative but i guess those have a suspect record on false negatives, especially when asymptomatic. A week since contact and no symptoms from him or any of us. - Another kid that goes to his school and live in our 'hood had his sister test positive. The sister does not go to our school but still - worst was a client of my wife that lives in same area had her father die from Covid. about 10 days after being put in the hospital. Cases are seemingly down in Dallas (2.5K range down to 1.5K range per day) but fuck the vax cannot get stuck in people's arms fast enough. Before Jan, we did not have so much as even a friend of a friend Covid issues.
  14. maybe she just has a high tolerance to pain and her melting skin acts as a good rosin flux
  15. nah, all the phone booth cleaning technicians would die off and then the rest of world would die from another nastier disease caused by unsanitary phone booths
  16. missed the last qtr of the game but, Denver was getting anything they wanted on offense. Mavs were not slowing down fast breaks or secondary breaks at all. Did they give up 70 in the first half? FFS, I know the team is depleted but damn. everytime the Mavs hit a 3, the Nuggets would answer with a 3.
  17. point of clarification. are talking 'football match' = soccer ? if so, i'm on board.
  18. i never once ate at Slaters. miss anything?
  19. yeah, no KP was brutal. Boban just cannot play that much. Kenyan Jr with some sick blocks, but not a great outing for a depleted Mavs team.
  20. you, Sir, are a fucking patriot. I remember my epiphany ... I had just finished working cattle and felling many trees as a lumber-rancher-jack when i drove up to President's Trump rally in my F350. He was all alone silently contemplating on a what great state the country was in when i walked up with up tears in my eye to tell him how thankful i was that America was in such great shape. In what other country could my wildest conspiracy fantasies about CIA white hats and the mypillow guy bravely battling the evil cabal of satanic pedophiles who secretly run the entire world? I was a little worried about the failed coup the President led, but he assured me it was all very cool and very legal.
  21. Pecan Lodge used to do Wagyu briskets and they were amazing. Sooo effing rich in taste. Maybe they still do, but this was back when they were still in the Farmer's Market area. A lot of those bbq competition tv shows said that the traveling teams would use wagyu briskets in their competitions. anyway, i have had the same idea on wanting to try it out, but not pulled the trigger.
  22. I think he should be investigated for voter fraud and need to defend against 50 lawsuits
