You can really do a lot with those ads.

[Striiker]

I imagine one of Schenn scoring... "Fans HATE him!"

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

Safety first. That's what my IT guy is always saying, but I do want to find out how he is 180 lbs but benches 400 and doctors HATE him, so I click it. Yesterday he showed me that my retractable coffee cup holder doubles as a DVD / CD rom player. Technology. smh.

Omg, LIFE HACKS.

"Eat this food and never diet again!" Yeah, it's called lettuce. Put down the fork, fatty!


If you guys are as tired of BuzzFeed lists and clickbait garbage, I implore you to check out The Onion's take on clickbait, aptly named "ClickHole." It's hilarious and so well done.

Looking at buying a new TV. Are the 4K TV's the thing of the future or is their something else on the horizon?

I wouldn't get a 4K TV just yet. All TV is still broadcast in 720p, so if you don't stream to your TV or use a Blue Ray player you're still not even getting the benefits of 1080p. It's been awhile since I was in the market for a TV, so someone can correct me if that's wrong.

Honestly, unless you primarily use Netflix or something that is capable of putting out 4k there's no point in buying the newest TV's. By the time their features are fully supported their price will have come down dramatically because there will be 12K TV's at that point lol.

There is always something else on the horizon, but you just have to use a little common sense in determining what's worth it. For example, a 4k TV would be fine to pickup now if you really wanted it, a 3D TV (a few years back) not so much.

anyone have Comcast and HD? some of my HD channels are not coming in very well. try and watch a show or movie on the HD channels and it parts of the screen signal breaks up. Kind of hard to put it any other way. sound and the screen both break up. doesn't happen on any of the non HD channels. yes I do have a HD tv.

 

[Flyotes]

That happened to me a few times. Once, I had to get a new box. Another time, the signal was coming in too strong and they switched out the component on the outside of my house.

On this subject, my dad's house has always had cable/internet problems and the other day Comcast came to look at it. The reading on the street was a 7, by the time it got to his house...-2. The comcast guy was amazed how we had anything at all haha.

probably going to have to call Comcast at some point. It doesn't happen on all the HD channels. AMC in HD is probably the worst.

Wow. We've had this thread for a year and 5 months almost.

the next one needs to be Le Hobbit related.

 

[Beef Invictus]

the next one needs to be Le Hobbit related.

It will be.

 

[Phileeguy]

It will be.

And here I had my heart set on Bill Root

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

It will be.

I trust you have a GOAT title in mind.

 

[Phileeguy]

And looking ahead, for all that is good and holy #49 better be for Maxime Oulette or Brian Savage. Or just skip it. Not interested in looking at the most infamous alternative for that long a time.

The Philadelphia Wings announced today their intent to re-locate after 28 years in Philadelphia, citing the unsustainability of the "financial model" in this market.

After 11 years as a season ticket holder, in which I was afforded a grand total of ZERO home playoff games (and only one playoff appearance at all, if I recall correctly) in a league where 80% of the teams make the playoffs -- yeah, blame the financial model. What a joke.

MSE provided some inspiration. I'm also trying to think of something hobbit-related.

It's crazy to think that league's been around for 28 years.

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

In reference to the MLL, one of my teachers who was an all-american in lax at Duke's opinion of the league was that it was full of a bunch of guys in denial. I laughed at that.

 

[BernieParent]

Well, that would be a lie, wouldn't it? We do in fact trade in those this week, but as you should be aware, our currency changes week to week. So it was salmon tails when we spoke, but I was quite surprised she couldn't keep with the pace of our monetary shenanigans.

Anyone who leaves their children in a hot car loses for any amount of time loses their right to be parents. I have zero tolerance for that kind of stupidity.

Agreed, to a similar extent, pets. I lose my mind when I see a dog in a hot car. People are stupid.

I recorded a podcast (and will continue to record a podcast) with my buddy ranking our top 10 favorite TV theme songs. I've gotten some good reviews about how funny it is, so if you're bored at work or anywhere, I'd appreciate if you wanted to check it out!

What about a naked woman?

But seriously....you have to be brain dead to do that.

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

There's absolutely no excuse for it. If you're so wrapped up and don't have the attention span to realize you accidentally left your kid in the car, you don't have the attention span to be a parent.
