  1. Kim and Tony, not Nick. Got my tribes confused.
  2. That strategy has worked before, but it usually fails, and would be an unnecessary risk. The only time I would try it is if I didn't have idols to play. Also, the idol Denise received from Sandra was only good through this tribal. She could have saved the other and tried to out Sandra at tribal, knowing that at least she would be safe, but she risks Sandra somehow convincing her alliance to vote out Jeremy. The last thing she would want is to keep Sandra in the game. I think the use of the second idol to increase the odds that Sandra was voted out was an idol well played.
  3. Old PSUs were easy. They tended to either work completely or not at all. Now they can keep on ticking, but may not produce the amount of power for which they are rated. Best guess from here is that your PSU no longer is producing enough juice to power everything in your rig. Whether it was only barely able to keep up before, or has degraded considerably isn't really important. It's easy enough to check if it is the PSU by swapping it for a spare, but most people don't have an extra on hand. If you don't have a spare, may as well get one that can support your current rig, as well as one you might build in the future. I always like to get one that has more capacity than I think I will ever need, though you don't need to go crazy here. If it isn't the PSU, then something in your rig is requiring more power than it should, you replaced a faulty power switch with another dud, or something more complicated.
  4. It was classic Sandra overconfidence. This was emphasized at tribal when she essentially said that Denise wasn't a threat to win. That remains to be seen, but Denise is certainly more of a threat than Sandra is now. I would have liked to have seen Sandra leave her fire token to Denise as a "well-played" gesture, but she's too petty for that.
  5. All the other votes were for Denise, but there is no way she could know for sure whether she or Jeremy was going to be the target unless you believe that no one would ever lie about who the real the target is. Using both idols was the smart move. The only way it could have failed is if Sandra had another idol. If that had happened, I think Nick and Tony make fire? Not sure about that, but thankfully it didn't matter. Once Denise bargained to keep one fire token until after tribal, I knew she was going to vote out Sandra. Even though I knew it was coming, it was still satisfying as hell. New school is crushing the old guard. There is a lot of good game play happening, which is nice to see after it appeared that the more recent winners were all too starstruck in the early episodes to do anything meaningful. I'm glad that didn't last long.
  6. I decided to give HEB food delivery a try. For those of you intending to go that route, plan way ahead. It may vary by location, but the earliest delivery I could schedule was for 3/31.
  7. Two out of three ain't bad. Sarah is not middle of the pack. She is very capable of winning this thing. Also, some of you keep referring to the players that have been voted out as "gone." No one is actually gone yet. I would be okay if none of them were allowed to re-enter the game, but at least one of them is likely going to have a chance to win.
  8. They've done that at least once, though not this season. People would start hauling all their crap to challenges, just in case. It would also lead to long tribals where people do all the scheming there, which we have also seen. It wouldn't be the worst twist ever, but I don't think it would be the calm straightforward process that you envision unless they implemented some sort of gag rule where talking was not allowed.
  9. Will the finish time always be on the same date as the start time?
  10. Did all of the Oregon transfers bring those green trees? Green isn't one of our colors. We should only be planting the orange trees.
  11. My problem with Shaka isn't just that our team's performance in his tenure has been extremely poor. I also don't find him as likeable as many of you do. There is no authenticity in anything he says or does. He comes across as someone who is trying really hard to say what he thinks people want to hear in order to hide the fact that he is clueless. I don't think he is actually as clueless as he appears to be, but I also don't think that he has the ability to convince me otherwise. I'd much rather have Tom the authentic asshole, than whatever Shaka is pretending to be. I suppose I could live with it if Shaka suddenly became very good at his job, but we are a looooooong way from me believing that he has.
  12. I watched a few minutes of Longhorn Weekly where Shaka was talking about the streak. He flat out said that the coaching staff hasn't changed anything. The players are just buying into it right now, but that could change at any given time. As always, it's all up to the players. Why do we even need a coach?
  13. Yeah, this one bothers me a bit as well. What happened to the "can't sit out in consecutive challenges" rule?
  14. Valentina's is good as well.
  15. I loved Tyson's "wow you guys have a lot of firewood" comment when arriving on EoE.
  16. It's cheaper to prioritize function and ignore form. I guess when I own my own professional sports franchise, I can pay a little more for both to be addressed equally.
  17. I was thinking more along the lines of Terrell Heights and the western parts of Northwood.
  18. One thing that many don't know is that there are small pockets of relatively affordable San Antonio that are not in Alamo Heights or the equally expensive Terrell Hills that are in AHISD. That may be an option, depending on their budget.
  19. That is one butt ugly ballpark. I was hoping it would look better in reality than the butt ugly renderings, but I think it actually looks worse. I hear Jerry is going to install a privacy fence so visitors to AT&T Stadium don't have to see it.
  20. We played and beat both, so that one's a wash as far as how it makes us look.
