OT: The Thread About Nothing CCIX: VIEWS [from the 201]

Whenever I need to stream, I usually use another browser and use Chrome for non-streaming activities.

Thanks; I had no idea some browsers were more efficient for streaming than others. I have Chrome, Firefox, and Opera on my computer, so I'll experiment with the other two.

EDIT: Technically I have IE on my computer too, but I never use it since it can give your computer STDs.

Your post got me thinking, that would look really cool in a man cave. So maybe I'll keep the Devils cards and just sell-off all the other teams (plus Devils duplicates).

I also think I'll remove any cards that have >=$10 value to sell alone, and auction all the others in "lots" just to get rid of them. Probably easier that way. In other words, if I have 17 Calgary Flames cards, I'll remove the 1 Iginla to sell separately, and just auction the other 16 off on EBAY in one sale. I think they'll move that way, as that's a great way for a team collector to snag a bunch at once.

Lots are how I wound up with the Matt Taormina - Nick Palmieri types.

If you were going to display one of each player (I have 80+ players), would you have one humongous display case or maybe 3 separate cases and hang them in different spots?

Can we talk more about Swallows?

I think one of those cases with the felt backing that's intended to hold an autographed jersey would be nice. I'd have to do the math to see how many cards one could hold, but I imagine it would be quite a few.

I need to do this for my 1980 M.O.I. autographed card set. That I want displayed.

Great dive bar in Baltimore by my alma mater. Go Hounds!

 

[None Shall Pass]

Can we talk more about Swallows?

And their slightly less fun cousin, Spits?

 

[The 29th Pick]

What do you mean, African or European Swallows?

I-I-I don't know that! WAHHHHH

When I first heard about TSLA summoning technology, this is literally the first thing I thought about. How can they prevent........ oh.... nevermind.

I like new technology but if I have to stand there and press a button to do that and wait anyway I'll just walk across the street and get in the damn car

Pull the SD cards from the game cams at my place & had a really cool pic tonight. A fox carrying a baby racoon in its' mouth!

@Aethon

Yes or no? I'm leaning no.

Funny you should say that, I was watching Fox Business the other day when they were discussing this technology, and the analyst said she felt exactly the same way. Thought this is a loser.

@Aethon

Yes or no? I'm leaning no.

It's definitely a young buck 1&1/2 to 2&1/2 y.o. my guess would be 2&1/2.

In my opinion that is a personal choice. I don't know if you and your neighbors adhere to any quality deer management practices or what your situation is. If I was in a place where I could watch him for two years I wouldn't even consider it.... but I hardly ever get to know bucks for more than a year or so...I mean if you are in a place where that deer walks through the wrong backyard and he is going to get shot out of the back window by someone drinking their morning coffee in the kitchen...I would seriously considering taking him.

No.

 

[JimEIV]

No.

Wait until he's 3&1/2 or 4&1/2?

 

[JimEIV]

I have a friend in Whitefish Montana sending me pictures of the snow accumulating. Insane. I sent him picture of the temperature reading in my car this afternoon saying 82°

Recently had a customer sending out a package to Whitefish.

I'm a bleeding heart so I'm going with never.

That's ok. But you don't get a choice as a passive observer.

I live in old school Hunterdon County, I would say with no hyperbole that every 3rd house on my road hunts. And that's what stinks about it, there's little opportunity for bucks to get big where I live, you have to hope they make it to a 3rd year & have that big antler growth spurt that season, or that one wanders down from Round Valley or changes its' range. So yeah, maybe I'll got for it if I see him when I'm out there.

Someday I'll get there. I hear that Whitefish area is one of the most amazing places in the nation, and probably an awesome place to move too, not just for the obvious reasons but for forward growth and increasing house prices over the next 20 years. Sadly, however, my wife is a teacher, and Montana practically pays college educated teachers like they're burger flippers, which is just bizarre IMO

If you're a vegetarian, that's a completely rational opinion even if it's not one I subscribe to, but I get it.

If you're not a vegetarian, that's a completely irrational opinion.

BG asked for opinions. Threw my hat in the ring.

You will be happy to know, it is a rational opinion.
