  1. I tried Direct TV Now this past weekend to watch the Tulsa game and it was really disappointing (beyond the product on the field). I had the game recorded and was several minutes behind live TV. When I would fast forward, it wouldn't show how close to live TV I was getting and it would show the game as it was fast forwarding. It would also take forever to buffer and restart the game when I would fast forward. Literally fast forward 15 seconds and then wait 30 seconds for it to start playing again. Also didn't seem to have an obvious way to switch over to the live game. I tried once and when I came back to the DVR, it restarted from the beginning. Better yet it screwed up and said there were -586337842 hours remaining in the recording, so trying to find my spot was impossible. Is this just the suck you get with a cloud based DVR? I was watching on a Fire Stick, so maybe some of this is just a limitation of that interface. Regardless, it was awful and I'm cancelling before my 7 day trial is up.
  2. I got out Whataburgered this morning. Saw three of these posted along Belt Line in Richardson.
  3. Here's a good example: https://mashable.com/2018/08/25/kneeling-national-anthem-beto-orourke/#Lh3HSNGUvsqc We can't know for sure if the bad headline was intentional or just lazy.
  4. https://www.wnycstudios.org/story/some-immigrants-seeking-legal-residency-through-marriage-targeted-detention-aclu-alleges https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/judge-to-consider-lawsuit-challenging-immigrant-arrests/2018/08/20/9130fe0c-a486-11e8-ad6f-080770dcddc2_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.b1f408779b83 I heard this story on the radio today. For those that don't care to read/listen, the gist of it is: Non-citizen has been married to a citizen for several years, they have a couple kids They apply for legal residency status based on the marriage Government says it's a legitimate marriage and they're moving the application forward In the meantime, ICE is trying to deport the non-citizen spouse According to the lawsuit, 2016 DHS regulations are intended to allow illegal aliens to seek legal status based on marriage It get stickier because the lawsuit claims the government used the marriage interview as a trap for ICE to detain the non-citizen It's hard to see what purpose the goverment's actions are trying to serve, beyond scaring people away from marrying immigrants. This isn't a public safety concern, it's not a "public charge" concern. It just seems anti-immigrant.
  5. Saw this a week or so ago. If you're thinking of taking kids, here's what you're in for: 1. Some language, fuck, shit, pussy 2. 13 year old girl learning how to give BJ's; looking up YouTube vids with a bunch of dildos and practicing on fruit 3. 17 year old attempting to sexually assault a 13 year old; nothing physical but creepy as hell Could create a good opportunity to discuss heavy shit with your kid, but could also be awkward for a lot of people.
  6. My 3 year old son has been into Voltron, Avatar: The Last Airbender and (I'm gonna regret this) My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I find all of these tolerable to have on in my house.

  8. At least in the Dallas area, motorcycles are allowed in the hov lane. I think most places are the same. https://www.txdot.gov/driver/hov-lanes/high-occupancy-vehicle-lanes.html So you're not blind, just ignorant.
  9. I couldn't decide which thread to put this in, but this seems like the right spot. My wife has been asking for help learning to use the smoker. So, Memorial Day I walked her though firing up the WSM and she did 3 whole chickens plus another 8 or so leg quarters. They turned out great. For my part, I harvested the skin from the smoked birds, sliced it up and fried it into homemade chicken-bacon. It'll probably end up in some breakfast tacos or on a pizza. I've never seen store-bought...but I assume mine is better. I also turned the drippings into gravy for some shrimp and biscuits the next day and, of course, roasted all the bones so we can make stock.
