  1. I stopped wearing a watch to dress up around 1990. Never missed them. About 5 years ago I got my first GPS smart sports tracking watch and have worn a watch everyday since.
  2. Yes, it's hot, but I'm calling BS on weather folks. It seems like all the weather sites, including NWS, weather.com, accuweather.com, as well as local TV, etc, are all trying to claim the hottest Feels Like or Heat Index. NWS for Austin 6/20 7:10PM: Accuweather.com - Austin tomorrow 6/21 97 feeling like 114? Really?
  3. Is 'poppers' now slang for unprotected buttsecks? I'm I the only one who has no idea what a popper is: I live a boring life.
  4. Less than Meh. Maybe I'm jaded, but the teaser seems to lack any sense of Joy. It doesn't look fun, exciting, or interesting. And based on that teaser alone, I feel like I already know the plot. Compare that to the original Cars trailer that had humor and looked like something new.
  5. I'm not sure what to make of this. At first I though it was a survivor-style competition show, but it seemed to lean more and more toward a scripted comedy pretending to be reality TV like a Reno 911. In any case, I don't even recognize a third of the 'Stars'.
  6. Lol. I think you might be misjudging the power comes with winning 6 National Championships.
  7. NN is a great concept and a terrible FCC order; both are referred to as NN. The FCC order is a poster child for the wrong way to do things. It pulled ISP under Title II of the Telcom act of 1996, but the FCC claimed they were only going to selectively apply it. FCCs words were "light touch" (Quotes are theirs). You are subject to a giant law, but only the parts we see fit; those taxes listed in the law? oh don't worry about them, we'll never apply them. https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-15-24A1.pdf https://transition.fcc.gov/Reports/tcom1996.pdf Free the Internet by regulating it via an old law that doesn't really apply. This was a terrible Order; it needed to be repealed. Now do you understand? It's really not that hard.
  8. Serious question, are the folks here that are for "net neutrality" referring to something to enforce the the ideas and core principles of net neutrality, or are they wanting the return of the FCC 2015 Order that placed ISP as Title II common carriers? The two are not the same.
  9. So if you ask ChatGPT something it doesn't know, it gives you a dumb-ass answer just like a random drunk down at the bar.
  10. Anyone use Creatine? I always thought of creatine as something for body builder and sprinters, but one of the running podcasts I listen to on Spotify (Trail Runner Nation Ep 612) talked about the benefits of creatine for distance runners as well as recent research about improved cognitive functions. It was the brain stuff that tipped the scale for me. I started it about 2 weeks ago, with the first week being a 'load' week of 25mg/day, then dropping to 5mg/day from then on. I knew creatine causes your muscles to hold more water, so I expected my weight to go up a little, but I gained almost 10 lbs in a week, and at the end of the first week my lower legs felt almost bloated. I'm at week 8 of 18 training for a hard race this summer and my milage was supposed to be ramping up, but I had to cut my 10 mile training run last Sunday to 7 miles because my feet were swollen and my calves uncomfortably tight. I backed off running this week and didn't run until Thursday and the legs felt a little better, but still much tighter than they should be. I'm hoping that was the result of loading up on creatine in the first week and as my body gets used to it, the legs will get back to normal...Google searches are not real clear. Anyone have good or bad experience distance running and doing creatine?
  11. The party is on this thread: Still not much activity...
  12. It's still going to be available on the maybe-legal-may-be-not-I'm-not-a-lawyer-so-I-can't-tell underground streaming sites like https://v2.sportsurge.net/ , right?
  13. Congrats. Early on in parenthood I realized my goal in life was to get my kids to adulthood as well-adjusted members of society. They didn't have to be perfect, just no strippers, no mass-shooters, no drug dealers. Seems like a really low bar, but it's a lot of work. But well worth the effort.
  14. You sure about that? This is the video that seems to have triggered the whole thing. Is this a staged video with actors? Is the clip from Dell really from somewhere else? Is the Dell Clip taken completely out of context? Or should it just be categorically rejected because of the source? Or is this actually legit? Based on the video, it doesn't seem unreasonable for an AG to ask some questions.
  15. I had a patio put in my backyard a couple weeks ago for a hot tub and one of the "4 person" kit saunas (Almost Heaven). I just assembled it this past weekend. For 80% of the assembly, it only needed 1 person, but did need two other folks to assist for a couple of steps. Total build time was only about 3 hours of leisurely work. One week in, I've used it three times and its great. It has a 6kW Harvia electric heater that needed a 240v/30amp breaker (along with the 50amp breaker needed by the Hot Tub) so an electrician was needed to run a line from the main. If this was for a group of people, it might need to be bigger or higher end one, but 99.99% of the time, it's just for me. The electrician wasn't clear why I wanted a Sauna in Texas; he asked me multiple times if I knew how hot it gets here. Yes, yes I do. It gets about 80-degrees cooler than my damn sauna.
  16. Instant karma's gonna get you Gonna knock you right on the head You better get yourself together Pretty soon you're gonna be dead Couldn't have happened to a nicer person. Dude's 15 minutes has been up for a while.
  17. I could tell 'Leonid' was the Bass player...because the bass volume is higher than it should be. But damn fine cover.
  18. All the major entertainment tabloids are just saying "medical emergency" or similar generic verbiage, but there are a ton of smaller site's I've never heard of that are saying stroke: https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/666983-jamie-foxx-stroke-additional-details https://www.latestly.com/socially/entertainment/hollywood/jamie-foxx-suffers-stroke-on-sets-and-had-to-be-revived-hes-lucky-to-be-alive-say-doctors-reports-5086356.html https://www.dmarge.com/jamie-foxx-lucky-to-be-alive-after-stroke-on-set
  19. Of the backboard? Seem this AI has never watched the majesty of a Gervin finger roll.
  20. It is 100% true that the Allies and German Army fought on the same side. (*) (*) In two known cases very late in the war, at the Battle of Castle Itter and Operation Cowboy, the German Regular Army joined in with Allied forces against the Waffen-SS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Castle_Itter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Cowboy
  21. Scott Manley had a video speculating about exactly that the day after the launch. The FTS seems to have fired and punched holes in the first and second stages, but it wasn't enough damage or loss of pressurization to cause a boom. That must be one bad-ass re-pressurization system?
  22. I see a bunch of people saying he won't have much success in year 1 and if he's going to win, it'll start in year 2. I don't see it that way. I think year -1 the team is competitive across the board and at-or-above .500; maybe 7-5. Deion will probably even get a few words in the conversation for Coach of the Year. The talent upgrade and a coaching staff that doesn't self destruct should get them there. They do play in the Pac-12. I see year-2 being the hard year. If year-1 is 6-6 or 7-5, the expectations for year-2 will be sky-high. The massive talent upgrade he's doing now is a one-time trick. Next year he'll upgrade a few players like everyone else, but the improvement in year-2 has to start from the top. Coaching, schemes, player development. It will be interesting if Deion has that in him. College Football is my #1 sport, and love him or hate him, the sport is better off with some characters like him. We lost the Pirate, but we're getting Prime; he needs to have some success to stay relevant.
  23. Windstream. Is the storm inhaling? That can't be good.
  24. Maury? Oh crap, you're right the DNA schtick was the other guy, not Springer. In my brain, both these guys are filed away in the same trash bin. Two sides to the same coin.
