I wonder if it’s because CFA is closed on Sundays?

Just popped up for me.

 

[Engebretson]

Just popped up for me.

I got it too. Thanks!

Expires tomorrow, so I know what I’m doing for lunch tomorrow.

I know there might be a smaller second round, but this was a weak snow storm.

In the cities it was meh. They closed 94 from St. Cloud to Moorhead because of the drifts though.

The snow changed to drizzle... that's why it was so meh.

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

I was underwhelmed by the storm as well.

I was planning on sitting at one bar drinking Hamms all night but I was able to drink Hamms in multiple bars which is also nice.

For all you Minnesota/Minneapolis people, I have found the best pizza in the metro. Feel free to verify for yourself.

Small Argentinian place in south Minneapolis called Boludo. Crazy good empanadas as well.

Wow... I'm hungry now. That looks fantastic.

Kobe Bryant just died in a helicopter crash.

 

[fentonsbrainchild]

Transcends sports, RIP to Kobe Bryant. Hoping and praying the report his daughter was on board is false. Just gut wrenching.

 

[MuckOG]

The Black Mamba.......might be the best nickname in all of sports. RIP

Unfortunately, his 13 yro daughter was also on the helicopter.

Officials say nine people died in helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant

Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, were on board when the helicopter crashed. They were joined by another teammate of Gianna’s and a parent en route to a travel basketball game, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported. The Orange County Register reported that Orange Coast college baseball coach John Altobelli also died in the crash. John’s brother, Tony, told CNN that John’s wife and one of their two daughters were also killed in the crash.

It is not clear who the other two people on board the helicopter were, and Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva declined to identify anyone involved in the crash

Don't know if any of you are WH40K fans, but they just dropped the trailer for Angels of Death. Richard Dolan is the same guy who made Helsreach on Youtube and it looks a lot like that. Some fans are upset that the quality isn't better, but knowing how stingy GW can be anything like this is a plus for me.

Interesting fact. Today's date is a palindrome that hasn't happened in over 900 years. No matter the region around the globe, it reads the same. A similar such thing won't happen for another 101 years, then not again for 900 more years.

As much as I like this warm spell we're having, there are so many f***ing potholes exposed. It doesn't matter if I'm in the boonies, richy rich, or downtown it seems you can't drive more than 15ft without seeing one big enough to swallow a tire.

 

[SupremeNachos]

Anyone going to watch The Hunters?

I plan on it when I get some time...

I still haven't finished Jack Ryan S2. I'm not a big tv show person anymore, so the show has to have something(s) that really interest me. Plus I still need to watch The Witcher and start The Expanse.

I recommend The Expanse above all else! Put that one first on your list!

It's the one show my friends insist I watch. It kinda reminds me of BSG which I really liked.

I loved BSG as well, but The Expanse is so much better on so many levels.

YouTube TV is dropping regional Fox Sports stations on Saturday after not being able to reach an agreement with them. ****. Guess I am either switching or just using internet skillz for the time being.

Are there any full NHL packages that don't black out local games?

Really annoyed to hear this as well. Luckily in terms of the Wild I have a really reliable source to watch all NHL games for free.

I still use YTTV to watch Better Call Saul and Formula 1. F1 has their own streaming service that would be a magnitude cheaper than staying subbed to Youtube TV, but it's my only place to watch Better Call Saul at the moment (AMC's website requires you to have an existing cable subscription).

Amazing in the year 2020 that it's still this hard to be a cord cutter.

Anyone who thought ditching cable would be cheaper is an idiot. Instead of having everything packaged together, you will need 4 different streaming subscriptions to still watch what you want.

Not really. It was absolutely cheaper for about 3 years. Then consider that you don't have to deal with awful customer service, locked-in contracts, and can easily stream on practically any device, and it's an easy decision for me.

But if you're talking about the people that do like HBO, Disney+, Netflix and Hulu all at once, I won't disagree with that. I just had the one service.
