  1. But SkyDome is a turf field. Safeco is grass. SkyDome was (at that point) also a recent complete construction nightmare and financial nightmare.
  2. Giving the boys this tomorrow... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Fiscal Conservatism is crap. We should be striving for fiscal utilitarianism.
  4. I thought the roof tech was still a few years off (like less than 5) when they built the Ballpark, which was why they didn't look at closing it in then. Safeco broke ground in '97, opened in '99 and AFAIK was the first with a roof like they're building now.
  5. Is it just me or is this race getting very little attention? Numbers show it’s as close as Cruz vs Beto, but unlike that race, I have yet to see a single sign for either in Dallas. And Collier is possibly the most moderate Democrat on the ballot (he could practically run as a moderate Republican). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. We already have some age limits. This is just one more.
  7. I've always thought of Texas being quite a bit tougher than the average blobfish. But I'm sure a Canadian born carpetbagger knows a lot more about Texas than me, a native Texan.
  8. My Connect:Amp is in a closet with my network gear (I run a full UniFi setup in my house, rooms wired for Cat6-A), and I ran the speaker wire through the attic out to the eaves. I wouldn't put the amp outside; it's not even remotely weather resistant.
  9. But we don't let the voters decide someone is too young.
  10. Probably the best credits scenes of any Marvel movie to date. Overall, somewhere in the middle of the pack. There are better and worse MCU films overall.
  11. Just throwing this out there, possible alternative to term limits: We have minimum ages to hold office. And we have an age that we, as a society, have decided is old enough that we pay social security and medicare so those people can retire. Why don't we have a maximum age, after which you can no longer run for office? Not for appointments or other positions, and no one is forced out of a current term; just a maximum age after which you can no longer appear on a ballot. Let's say it's 70 (or maybe we set it to float SS age + 5 or something). That gives someone 52 years to run for most offices, and 35 years to run for President. And it's not without precedent: For example, Colorado Constitution, Article IV, Section 23(1) requires judges to retire at age 72. The other plus is we'd have a set date where we know all the boomers are no longer eligible to run for office. Just saying. Anyway, discuss.
  12. For the LR, the PlayBase has WAY better low end response than the Playbar. Haven't been able to hear the Beam yet. I use a Connect:Amp with a pair of Polk outdoor speakers on my patio; totally happy with that decision.
  13. Which remains a TERRIBLE way to select an elected official. And how we ended up with the pair of shit sandwiches that are Cruz and Dannie Goeb.
  14. Running with a weight vest I prefer something with less cushion than the Vomero. Free Trainer or some of the Metcon line (the core metcon is a little too stiff, but the Free Metcon or the Metcon DSX works). Also good for HIIT and lifting.
  15. I'm still not in. I was able to follow some links from elsewhere, add items to my cart, and checkout from my phone, but still can't view the main deals page anywhere.
  16. So...Amazon crashed? All I'm getting are dog error pages.
  17. Thanks; answers the questions I had for sure.
  18. There's two major HP rides other than the train, and they're unfortunately one at each park. Certainly go to one park and do the featured one first (it's Escape from Gringotts at one and something Journey at the other). The HP parks are well done, but the cast and the rides aren't Disney quality. They're way better than the rest of Universal's quality (other than maybe the Simpsons area), but still not Disney quality. And while some cast members get into it, not all do, which is also unlike Disney.
  19. If you like Disney and/or Final Fantasy, they're a must play. If you have a PS4, go get Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX; that's all you need. The main two games (1 and 2) are the most important part; the rest you can get filled in by online plot summaries.
  20. Trailer from E3 Is there a way to insert the video in the post?
  21. I've been playing Hollow Knight and enjoying it so far. Old school Metroid feel.
  22. Mostly right (I sold sunglasses a long time ago and still keep up with a lot of it). I would only buy: Oakley, Maui Jim, Costa, Persol, Revo, or *some* Ray-Bans at this point. Everything Luxottica is the same, except Oakley lenses are still a totally separate entity, Persol still uses their classic lenses, and Ray-Ban has a small number of lenses you won't find in the other brands (their tech series polarized for example). The other brands are still independent, and have made high quality lenses for a long time. I've heard good things about Randolph Engineering, but haven't ever owned a pair. I personally find Oakley frames the most comfortable, so I have more of those than the others. And a lot of this goes out the window if you're looking at prescription (often you're not getting the brand's lens, only the frame, depending on your optometrist/insurance). I'm talking off the shelf lenses.
  23. They didn't expect this to happen? But seriously, was expecting fist fights and I'm disappointed.
