  1. Yeah, when I was a kid he was friends with the owners of Camp Stewaewart in Hunt, tx. He would come out every summer and put on a football clinic. Very nice guy .
  2. Probably has been brought up. Spoilers. On TOS, you used to be able to click on a spoiler button. I would love that feature again. Thanks.
  3. No, not Spag... I guess I am biased. I worked there in the 90's while in school and met the best people I am still friends with. $1 Spaghetti, bread, salad, soup is what I ate almost every day. (waiters special) Half Beer Chili/Cheese Sauce or Half Beer Chili/Chicken Tetrazini was great on a 21 year old metabolism, working out every day, then going to Lavaca Bar and they had a pitcher of Shiner ready for me after I walked in the door. I still crave the Minestrone soup. Good times.
  4. I post the Mexican Wedding shirt for someone who asked earlier. I need to get it dry cleaned. It looks great when pressed. I took a pic of who made it 10+ years ago if that helps. The other. I don't know how this has lasted this long. My grandfather took me to Rooster Andrews around 1987. They made a t-shirt right there with Texas on it. Both shirts are the true burnt orange, just the lighting...
  5. I hate the Samsung S 8+. I came from the Nexus 6+. My fingers are usually touching the screen just holding it, so it won't respond. So, I guess I like a bezel around the screen.
  6. One other thing to consider. I call the cable company once a year for my Mom, Grandma, and sister. They are all overpriced. So I spend about an hour on each call with ATT or TWC and get their bills down $50+/mo (incredible what they charge). But also, I have a country home with no internet, and TV signal, I recently got Tmobile, so I can now stream my DTVNow at the cabin in the hill country, so that is a huge plus for me, or if you are on the go....
  7. I guess they changed the edit time. Yeah, I looked into my situation and for me it was the thing to do for me at the time living alone and watching one tv at a time and not using their boxes. I am grandfathered on the DTVNow plan and get all the channels you mention for $40/mo(was $35 until recently) and I didn't need DVR. You just have to do the math for you, try out services with a device that lets you and see if you would be happy with that.
  8. You should compare services to see what you get on each one. https://clark.com/technology/tvsatellite-cable/streaming-tv-comparison-best-channel-lineup/ That's a pretty recent article. How much do you pay now? 1. Try out a cheap antenna from walmart, and go from there. https://www.antennaweb.org/ I tend to trust .org sites more than others... 3. You can get a fire tv, or maybe a roku for $20-35 for every tv that will play any app. 5. Get an Antenna from Walmart and see how your reception is. Take it back if it sucks (antenna). 6. I have DirectTv now and HBO is $5 a month. But if you have Att Unlimited all the way, I think it is free and you get $15 off DTV Now. Only Downside is no NBC in Austin. Comes with only a 20 hr DVR, which is fine for me as I catalog tv shows through other means. 7. You should be able to get a free trial to any service to see if you like it. In my opinion Cord Cutting is mainly about cost, channels, then ease of use and menu ease, then Dvr(Or higher based on use). DVR, I just got a 4 tuner Network TV Tuner for local channels. I thought setting up a DVR would be easy for that for free, but I was mistaken (It may be on a windows PC, I am trying on my linux server, or Android TV, and there are a lot of things to do, and I will post them when I figure it out.) Like I stated in another post, the cheapest is a refurbished HDHomerun... You can buy a HDHomerun, and pay another $35/yr to record whatever you want over the air to your PC for an easy setup.
  9. I remember making a mental note to watch this again. Great movie.
  10. It took me awhile to find this. You should edit your original post to include this. Thank you for everything though. Donated 32.50 now at Raised 6,532.02 USD of 5,000.00 USD target
  11. My friend has the free 5mbs Google fiber and streams fine, so I would think it would be ok with at least 20
  12. As far as the paying multiple services... Amazon, I feel I get my monies worth just on shipping, as that is most of my shopping on Amazon I let my trusted friend use my Amazon account to watch whatever (I did read recently, they were going to make profiles like Netflix.) Netflix , That friend lets me use his. (We both live alone and don't need 2 streams on either service) Hulu, I quite one time and they offered me $5.99 a month, like someone mentioned above, they don't have that much original content. Just sign up for it once a program you like is on. DirectTVNOW - I was thinking about splitting the cost with a friend. For me personally, I don't see an ethical problem with splitting the cost of these services. Living alone, It pisses me off when Tmobile etc offer 4 lines for $30 each. With Zelle, etc one can setup monthly automatic payments..

    Best PC Games..

    Yeah, so still not much of a gamer.. Nothing has really kept my attention. I bought various stuff on sale or free with my Shield TV Golf with friends - working on Controller issues. I like mini golf though. Stardew Valley - Played quite a bit. It seems fun No Mans Sky Next - Got diseased right away, I need to read up. Captain Spirit - Crazy story about a kid being beat by his dad. Doom - I remember why I liked it as a kid, and it still holds up. Surviving Mars Raft Tabletop Simulator Forza Horizon 3 - I prefer the Motorsport. This is just all over the place. Far Cry 5 - haven't played Banished - haven't played Just Cause 3 - Free on Shield. Haven't played. I remember liking the original one on my PS3 Downloaded to try out: All the Telltale - Haven't played yet Forza Motorsport 7 - I am really digging this. Firewatch - Completed. It was an ok story. GTA5 - I have gotten further than I did with my jailbroke ps3. I hate the driving around in this game though. Grim Fandango - Had issues on my Shield TV, but I will play on the PC House Flipper - Fun for the first hour. Then I'm like, why do I want to wave my mouse around to clean a place and click on bolts multiple times, when I hate doing that at home. Mad Max - It is ok. Rocket League - I read it is hard. I played around in the tutorial. Seems like a game that would only be fun with friends. Sniper Elite 4 - controller problems, SE 2 is free on Shield TV, so I started playing that. It is fun. Subnautica - Got tired of getting a breath. The oxygen tank sucks. Super Mega Baseball 2 - Seems fun. A lot of buttons to remember. The Forest - The cannibals took me right away. Have to read up The Long Dark - ehh. The Witcher 3 - Played to the first Tavern. Seems like fun. This War of Mine - problems with the joystick on the Shield TV Xcom 2 - I played the shit out of the original xcom game back in the day. I haven't tried it yet Portal 2 - Confusing, but I need to read up where I am stuck and after I get the hang of it I think I will like it, as I love puzzles. The Witness - I'm digging this alot. I will buy it. When I built the PC, I just used an IDE drive. I just bought a SSD, so I reinstalled windows. I've been to lazy to reinstall games again, but the PC is running way faster.
  14. I saw a title of an article the other day they are remaking Facts of Life

    BB20

    Yes, Hayleigh is much more attractive with her hair down. I can't believe she hadn't have that removed.
  16. So, I currently have a Shield TV (mainly so I can stream my PC games, and you can stream from Steam for free currently) and a $20 Fire TV stick. I had to ditch my old Fire TV's as they are no longer supported by DTVNow, even though they are faster than the current crop Amazon offers...? The FireStick seems to do its job fine. The Shield TV is nice for the above benefits. It doesn't have DTVNow, so I debated changing to another service, but I am grandfathered on their $65 plan for $40 and I researched all the other offerings and think I have the best deal currently. I found out how to sideload a modified version of DTVNow onto Android TV. Took me awhile to search and figure it out. So here if anyone needs it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/help/directv-app-shield-tv-t3510829 Somewhere in that thread is a mediafire link that they update the latest version of DTVNOW to. If anyone wants it, it is bookmarked on my Shield. DTVNow - I had free HBO for the first year, then not. The other week I clicked on HBO and it has been working ever since, so I guess I have HBO for free (if you have the grandfathered plan, you might check again.) It doesn't work using my credentials for HBO Go though. DTV Now just has 20hrs of DVR space so I am going to get a HDHomerun before football. I've been reading up on prices. Just getting a refurbished seems like the best deal. https://shop.silicondust.com/shop/product-category/refurbished-hardware/ For those not familiar. HDHomerun is a device you plug into your router, then connect an antenna to it and it allows everyone on the network to watch 1-4 different channels depending on the model you choose. You can also set it up to record shows different ways( Basically have a DVR for OTA channels seperate from your Streaming service). Also I saw on Slickdeals, Best Buy currently has the Fire TV Stick for $20 and the Fire TV for $35 if anyone needs one.

    Deadwood

    Hell yeah. Finally a movie! Next spring even. https://www.google.com/amp/s/variety.com/2018/tv/news/deadwood-movie-hbo-1202883965/amp/ HBO is officially moving forward with the “Deadwood” movie. The announcement was made by HBOprogramming president Casey Bloys at the TCA summer press tour on Wednesday. “All of these people worked hard to get this together,” Bloys said. “It’s been a logistics nightmare getting all the cast members’ schedules together, but we are there. It is greenlit.” Bloys also said the movie is currently scheduled to begin shooting in October for a spring 2019 air date, but added that the date is not “set in stone.” This is not the first time Bloys had been questioned about the potential movie. Just last year, he praised the script he got for the film from series creator David Milch. “I wanted a script that would stand on its own … I’m happy to say that David totally delivered on that. It’s a terrific script,” Bloys said at the time. Fans of the HBO series have been clamoring for more stories set in the “Deadwood” world ever since the series ended in 2006. The drama ran for three seasons and 36 episodes, with many critics regarding it as one of the best television series of all time. The show picked up 28 Emmy Award nominations during its run, ultimately winning eight. The show took place in the 1870s in Deadwood, S.D., and charted the titular community’s growth from a camp to a town. The large ensemble cast included actors Ian McShane, Timothy Olyphant, Molly Parker, and John Hawkes.
  19. I am finding it more common now on emails I send. People will only answer some of my questions or only perform some tasks.
  20. Yeah, go on goodrx.com Or get the app. It is rediculous. I had one drug that was going to be 600 dollars. Looked it up. Got a coupon. $30

    This was my favorite as a kid. My parents had no idea what I was doing in Jr. High. They had that questionnaire before you could play to try and make sure you were old enough. I would yell downstairs to my parents asking questions. I would write down the answers...
  22. Finally got everything last night. Must of been a hell of a storm in CA. It is a i7-8700. Everything was so easy to put together, compared to 10+ years ago. Waiting for updates to download now. Then installing geforce sw, so I can play the games on my Shield TV also. Very excited. this thing is super fast.

    Thanks MillerEP. Yeah I grew up on all the old school titles you recommended. I didn't have a console, I went from Atari 2600 to Tandy PC. I'll look into all of those games. Thanks for the recs!
  25. I always look forward to these to see what miniseries I may have missed (I have even gone back and looked at years past.) I started to watch The Alienist, but it didn't grip me. I may go back. American Crime Story, I watched the OJ one and liked it, I may watch this. Genius - I like the Einstein one. I watched the first episode of Picasso, it didn't grip me. Godless was ok. Patrick Melrose, it looks good. Cumberbatch is a plus. The Alienist The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story Genius: Picasso Godless Patrick Melrose
