you pay $32/month for youtube?

Yes, YouTube TV

There was also that time when Ike Davis flashed his knob in the background during a locker room interview.

$40 for 300/300 Fios and $32 for YouTube TV (50% off from T-Mobile). Basically half the price I was paying before. Now I can rewind and have unlimited DVR. No more box rentals.

My only complaint is that the YouTube TV app is poorly, stealthily, or simply not supported for older products.

• Roku 3500X supports native app through the YouTube app or casting but the UI is very slow and colors are weird.
• Fire Stick gen1 has no documented support, but casting works perfectly. Amazon says this isn't supposed to work but whatever. Sideloaded app is too laggy.
• Chromecast gen1 supports casting, obviously.

I need some Chromecast Google TV dongles but I'm hoping that the gen2 ones are coming, not just a 1080p one.

I have no problem using my phone as a remote for casting. But having a remote and a menu is nice for guests. I almost miss the number pad though.

It was also awarded to Depp because she failed to prove all the elements of defamation.

Lol

Heard only wins 2 million. Doesn't mean much when she owes 13 more.

10 million compensatory and 5 million punitive.

Holy shit.

Is this a spiritual successor to Roger Rabbit? Is it good?

Even Xenoserpia?

I'm still amazed that Brits are going to be okay with a literal king. Not some sweet old lady.

But all that just to keep special blood and crown entities alive.

It hasn't worked for posting topics in a while.

Both apps deteriorated greatly over the last year or two as the devs moved on.

You can technically still view posts in flux, but you can't log in anymore and posting is probably out of the question.

Raven died permanently once the polling changes came in.

What a rough year. First, we lose gameraven and now we lose the only other Android app for the boards.

The logo is astonishingly bad.

It's like CNET became a Soviet-era metalworking company.

I thought it was some Asian newspaper at first.

Especially the sour ones. No weird sugar coating that breaks your teeth.

Why does everyone in Street Fighter have gigantic man hands?

Good football so far

Like Vienna?

Titan Maximum is better

Headaches and chills are normal.

No, you're just feeling like normal shit after a booster

We're doing Omega Mart, Blue Man Group, and a bunch of other things.

I'm not convinced topgolf will be worth $1,200 of entertainment. Half of which is mandatory food minimums.

We're doing the shooting range the next day but we might bump that up if topgolf fucks us over.

do an atv tour on the dunes. way more fun

We wanted to do ATVs/RZRs. Prohibitively expensive or impossible for all 8 people to have one to drive or a turn at driving.

What I want to do is irrelevant. This is a bachelor party for my best friend.

We already vetoed that and floor is lava LED room.

As someone who works in IT, I worry about doing this to people when shit hits the fan.

Can't book online. Front desk isn't allowed to book. Managers can't answer questions. Event coordinator phone numbers are dead or voicemail full.

You could probably get better service as a walk-in and waiting an hour.

No DH. You pitch, you bat.

And everyone in the NFL should learn the entire game like rugby and soccer. The NFL only exists in its current form because the game revolves around time stoppages.

Between Saget and Gottfried, we've lost 2 of the best Aristocrats storytellers

Flames are not active weapons. Even if you do serious damage with one (Complete Control vs Bombshell), it's never been clear how it's counted.

Witch Doctor vs Minotaur should've been a double count-out or maybe a Witch Doctor count-out , but not an unstick. And Minotaur was denied an opportunity to gyro/crab a hit in before that occurred. Stoppages to unstick really shouldn't even be thing. I liked Complete Control vs Chiabot but the rules need to be changed. If one bot has compromised mobility and the other has no mobility, an unstick does not accomplish anything but force an immediate count-out for the compromised bot. Even with Minotaur's gyro control, I expected that Minotaur count-out as much Witch Doctor's team. When that didn't happen, Witch Doctor hurt itself by not being more aggressive. Why is a bot like Wrecks allowed to crab walk but robots can't have backup movement options with gyro abilities or self-righters? If the damaged bot's weapon is still a threat, even with limited movement, do we need to start forcing KOs and focus more on pit work?

Sawblaze vs Riptide: No real surprises here but I still like what Riptide accomplished.

Blip vs Hydra: Blip getting under Hydra was always a long shot. Lesson for Blip is that they need a switchable electromagnet to prevent that from happening again. Upper deck needs to go or needs a ramp. I'd rather have the hellraisers constantly active than have the upper deck. Blip also needs a Subzero-style self-righting system. I'd rather it rock itself right than flop around hoping for a good landing.

Tantrum vs Cobalt: I like Cobalt but it needs a feeder-style front wedge. It does serious damage to anything that lands on it but it relies too much on pop-ups.

Tantrum vs Hydra was the right call. Hydra definitely won control with all those flips, but Tantrum did functional damage to Hydra's flipper. Aggression was a coin flip with an edge for Hydra. But again, the damage category is damage. Hydra did none. Even if Tantrum is smoking, I'd still consider that cosmetic until the performance decline that did not happen. Recent fires have shown that critical components have much better separation now and fire isn't always a problem anymore.

Sawblaze vs Witch Doctor: Single axel exposed wheels are really hard to justify going forward for any bot. If I recall correctly, Witch Doctor can apparently drive on no tires.

Tantrum vs Witch Doctor: This was fantastic. Same as with Minotaur, Witch Doctor had full control and a working weapon. The outward-facing gash on Witch Doctor's underside is difficult to see but looked huge. No wonder it was high-centered. I'd like to see Tantrum's weapon go a bit further down that track next season because it always looks a few inches shy. Still upset that Glitch couldn't get working for the tournament.

Prince and Tom Petty putting together a great album in heaven.
I hear they just picked up a drummer from the Foo Fighters.

Refugee is such a good song. Maybe not for right now though.

He wants Eggman. He'll do 1 more, I guess.

The Game Gear/Master Drive version was awesome.

I have to disagree. It's a completely different game, you can't play as Tails, there's no spin dash, and boss levels have no rings.

Getting the emeralds is absolute torture.

I have a 2018 CR-V EX AWD and I'm telling you not to get one. The turbo engine and continuous transmission are overrated but get the job done. Same driver assist tech since 2015 and 2017. Slightly better than Mazda but far behind Subaru, Nissan, and especially Hyundai.

Not in this market. You're lucky to even get MSRP.

Subaru is in the worst shape and some places don't have any vehicles. You might end up waiting a month for one.

Because the whole lease is under warranty. Because it's cheaper. Because you can get a new car every 3 years.

No and that financing looks awful.

The CR-V is about to be redesigned. It still has an extremely slow touchscreen with Android 4.2. The safety features are average.

Not sure why people even finance when leasing is usually cheaper.

Minotaur is a great bot. Very precise balance and control. The 2-wheel maneuverability has been consistently extraordinary. Freitas is always leaning in with that stare. He wants that nut so bad.

With respect to next week...

Minotaur destroyed Witch Doctor the last time they fought.

Many vantage points. Maybe a blind shot through my blinds?

Not sure. Really depends on whether Blip can get under Hydra. No limit on flips if he does.

I don't think Hydra's weight or shape is an issue. If Glitch can launch Hydra, Blip should be able to as well.

He's got that Macho Man energy.

I don't think he's on anything besides the natural adrenaline high.

Jif or gtfo

The CX-5 is dead last in driver safety and assistant features. Almost four or five years out of date compared to the competition.

And I can't stand the knob. Ruined the whole thing for me when I rented one.

The Hyundai Tucson looks so nice but this is such a shitty market.

3-4k markups.

I think it's happened once before a season or two ago.

But oh my god.

Endgame vs Minotaur: That was incredible. The juke.

Copperhead vs Witch Doctor: Witch Doctor is scary when it's working properly.

Sawblaze vs P1: No surprises.

Uppercut vs Riptide: I'm a huge fan of Riptide's open drum design. It rips instead of grinding like most drums.

Hydra vs Black Dragon: Hydra using special tactics again but the left side looked like it was having problems. Black Dragon abandoned all strategy and went the Duck method.

Bip vs Jackpot: Holy shit. We get Blip vs Hydra. Can Blip handle a Bronco-sized flipper?

Whiplash vs Cobalt: The rules seem unclear on stoppage vs double count-out. A bit of a Quantum situation where the weapon works too well. Need to see this tomorrow on Youtube.

Rotator vs Tantrum: Tantrum could've been counted out but those pro-active self-righting movements bought them enough time. That KO is one for the highlight reels.
