Finally got around to watching Solo. I really liked it. Way more than I was expecting.

Good to hear. Been skeptical.

 

[Carlzner]

Easily the best of the new ones. Fun, doesn't take itself too seriously, the only one with actual decent writing.

Same. I thought it was telling that I wasn't crazy about the dude that played Han, but still really enjoyed the movie. A testament to how well it was made.

 

[strungout]

Donald Glover was fantastic as Lando. And the whole dynamic between him and Han was just the best. I was smiling through most of those scenes. Im looking forward to watching it again to pick up on things I might have missed.

All those big young stars in golf were clamoring for Tiger to return to form so that they can compete with him at his best... I hope they realize what they're in for now that he's officially back.

EL TIGRE IS BACK!!! that was awesome...

Everyone wilted under the Tiger spotlight.

Got a new phone for the first time in 4 years yesterday. Made the switch from Android to iOS and got the XS. I'd normally never pay that much for a phone but my company pays for my phone so I figured why not? Not quite sure how I feel about it yet. There are some things I like and some things that drive me nuts. Way less customizable and intuitive on certain aspects but the speed is terrific and the pictures are amazing. I'm giving it 10 days to see if I like it or if I go back to the Galaxy series, which I love.

Also, why does Apple include corded headphones in the box when there's no headphone jack...

Incredible to watch. I imagine that's kind of what it was like to see Arnie is his prime.

No reason to go backwards to the most compromised mobile OS in the world. Welcome to the family....

And you can use the corded headphones with the lightning adapter. They always included it, but I read just started holding that back from the new units.

Do yourself a favor and spring for the AirPods. Total game changer.

 

[strungout]

Yeah I love my airpods. Use them everyday and have them attached to my keys.

iOS FTW. So much better.

The corded headphones that Apple provides now should be lightening by default anyway; no adapter needed. But if they aren't, the adapter is included. But yeah, AirPods.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

AirPods are my most used and loved accessory. Can’t wait for gen 2.

Upgraded from the Note4 to the Note9 8GB RAM/512GB storage..what a beast.

I have the Galaxy s9+ via work. It's a good phone but has some annoyances. Requires quite a bit of customization including the partial wrap-around screen sensitivity. There's a dedicated side button next to the volume buttons on the left side that controls some voice activated invasive service I don't use, so unless I mod it it's just a dummy button that gets in the way. And the damn thing is SO TALL that you have to support it with your pinky when talking, but the mic is in the exact wrong place for that, which muffles your voice. Pretty screen, tho. lol

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Europe rallying @therydercup

 

[usiel]

Yeah that dedicated bixby button is pretty ridiculous unless they finally allow it to be used for google assistance but one can 'ok google' anyways. I though the bit of the side curve would be overly sensitive gripping it but surprising hadn't had a problem with it. I generally use nova launcher but so far just rolling it stock for now.

 

[HunterSThompson]

Rallying? more like the US can't do anything right. Europe is playing well considering the wind though.

Sounds Like a design fail if you can’t reassign different functionality. They do make a pretty screen there is no doubt.

My iPhone 7+ was my last “phablet”. Same issue for me requiring an extra finger to support. ALSO not a great pocket fit although it was manageable, but not ideal. Was so happy with the larger screen and smaller body frame of the IPhone X.

No compelling reason for me to upgrade phones this year and I normally do annually, so I might finally get an Apple Watch 4.

 

[Ajax1995]

The US is always terrible at the alternating shot format so the afternoon play today is surprising IMO.

Um rallying from 3-1 morning session? A point is a point.

US shit the bed on the front 9. I’d sure hope the Europeans can play in wind....lol...

Makes for an interesting day tomorrow. Love Ryder Cup weekend!

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Can't bomb and gouge it on this course, which is the American way of golf. Foursomes really set up poorly for the US here.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Heh, no team has swept an afternoon session and NOT either defended or won the Ryder Cup....9-0.


Challenge accepted.

Yeah. No i agree. I just think the US team more or less gave them the easy wins. You were more talking about the general rally as opposed to a more narrow definition.

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

I don't think any of the US teams shot under par in the Foursomes. Epic choke job. Mickelson putting an iron off the tee into the water on the par 5 was a perfect microcosm of the day.
