  1. We’ve got a couple of Frames, and yeah those two-piece mounts are way different…but a huge part of why you pay a premium for them. They’re also nerve wracking trying to snap the tv into/out of. So there are absolutely no studs that’d cross behind any of the holes in either mount? I assume your stud finder works on wood paneling and you double checked by measuring 16” centers starting from that outlet box down there (whichever side the stud is on). What’s behind that paneling…anything? Pop the cover off that outlet to see if you can verify how thick it is and what, if anything, is behind it. As you noted, the tv itself isn’t that heavy since all the guts are in the OneConnect breakout box. If that paneling is actually mounted to studs securely, I’d like to think a gang of good toggles would work…but obviously having at least one mount hit a stud would be peace of mind The best anchors I’ve seen are WingIts, though they require using a special 3/4” bit to put the hole (don’t use a spade bit on that nice wood). Otherwise, per usual, best reply is the first: get serious by running a 2x4 horizontally and call it a day.
  2. Pokes won in dramatic fashion…walkoff grand slam B10. I’d written them off when we were down 3 in B8. My fault, this team can be so hot/cold but Holliday seems to love trying to time a hot streak heading into the post season…sometimes with disastrous results. WTF happened to TCU? And WVU just keeps going. And fuck OU.
  3. Don’t forget the blue blood modifier and the insufferable fan bonus. I was at OSU, back when that meant something and tickets were hard to come by. Walked into the old GIA as a clueless freshman in 98, left with my ears ringing and a holy shit face. Damn I miss the old GIA. So I have a bit of schadenfreude to see Kentucky sweat a bit (sorry Underdog)
  4. Looks like the ship from Flight of the Navigator
  5. That salsa certainly looks like it’ll cause diarrhea in 24 hours
  6. Anyone else remember when monetization of the web was a real concern? Now it’s all…
  7. Still not enough to clean the piss and shit smells out
  8. I was a USAF brat who’d moved from Turkey for Jr/Sr year, thus an outsider the two years I spent at Burkburnett HS with kids who’d all known each other since diapers…so maybe my HS experience was different than most of y’all. Regardless, anyone I met who legit spends more than a minute talking about high school is a fuckin dullard who peaked at 17 and likely the type to chuckle at this shit. High School was a means to have choices when it came to college, little else.
  9. I read Musk’s replies in Towelie’s voice and it made so much more sense
  10. Was awesome for a freshman, returning from injury, to hit the go ahead 3-run shot over the batters eye…his first collegiate HR is to take the lead in game 3 of Bedlam in front of a home crowd.
  11. I told my oldest this morning to, regardless of the clouds, close your eyes for a few to just listen/feel the change. There will be a million wonderful pics and videos to look at later, but it’s that feeling of the moment that’ll be your fondest memory.
  12. Not surprised. Feels like a ton of rain is on the long term forecast all the time, but like Aggy chasing hardware, the dream fades as the date approaches. So naturally the long term forecast has been right all along for a once in a lifetime event.
  13. Really grateful the key parts here were underlined
  14. Wonder if that’s a cross around his neck…I bet it is. This shit infuriates me to no end. A large swath of people need an Other to project their fears, uncertainties and dread onto while a certain group of politicians are all in on leveraging that to stay in power, partnering with certain news agencies eager to harness it for viewership. Now a family is broken, a church lost their leader and a community is refusing to examine itself over an individual’s own private affairs that had zero impact on their lives. This country was founded on the human right of self expression and equality, yet the people who espouse to love it the most are often those actively participating in suppressing it for zero gain. Fuck them.
  15. I can’t tell if I’m just too dumb to understand his posts or if he’s Kareem in The Stand (original) warning everyone about the man with no face
  16. Put that shit on a plate and sell on daytime tv, and you’d be rich
