  1. Not yet. Not entirely sure what the plan is Got 4 games he can play in without losing the red shirt, but have not seen the Hawaii kid or Sanders in the first two games.
  2. That was a nice downfield pass. Maybe a tad short, but Wallace was so open it didn't matter. And better a tad short than a tad long. OSU RB's look unstoppable in space. I've criticized Yurcich, but those little screen passes, getting the RB's 1 on 1 with a defender are working great today. TD Justice Hill on a determined run. 7-7 first quarter.
  3. Defensive slugfest! ...after 2 possessions....where each side had a dropped pass.
  4. Strop out for the rest of the regular season. Yikes. Don't know about the playoffs.
  5. Suspension of disbelief. You can find plot holes in any show or movie, if you try. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd challenge you to find a show you love and I will poke holes in the plot for you. (and point to several 'dumb' decisions made by a 'smart' character) That said, I do like how the show resolves the big 'main' problem. Adding a casino to launder everyone's money was a novel idea in season one. And getting it through legislation, with all the hurdles involved in something like that, was interesting to me. And something I hadn't seen that on a tv show before. The details of the story were often contrived or just bad, but the main story arch was original and interesting to me.
  6. Thought the same thing. Bases loaded in the 10th with a one run lead and you don't pinch hit for Strope? Any position in the lineup gives you a 30%-40% chance to add more runs. i guess Joe has zero faith in all but 2-3 relievers...all of whom had already pitched. I don't second guess Joe very often, but that was a weird decision before the hamstring.
  7. Does the technology exist to police that? They'd need a database with every movie and tv show and photograph...then search the entire internet for every still frame of every movie and tv show...every day. edit: i see the 'upload filter' now. still think it'll be hard to create that database.
  8. I believe your family can renew your copyright claim after the 70 years. Personally, I think, after an artist dies, his/her work should immediately enter public domain. I completely agree that record companies shouldn't get to keep collecting after an artist dies. Their greed will stop an artist's music from being shared. Which is a disservice to the artist AND listener.
  9. This is correct. If you put more than a few seconds of ANY recognizable song on your youtube video, you will see a copyright claim. The claimant can remove your song immediately, or require that your video show ads (for which the copyright holder gets 100% of the proceeds), or simply reserve the right to pull it, or place ads later. If your video has music that shazam can recognize, I promise you, it will be hit with a copyright claim. It's automated by an algorithm. No one has to watch/find your video.

    Hereditary

    Just watched the trailer. Very happy I didn't watch that before the movie. Would have ruined several surprises. Trailer said it was the same producer as 'The Witch'. He must have hired the same lighting crew.

    Hereditary

    Just got around to watching this. One of the best horror films I've seen this year. (and I watch tons and tons of horror films) Reminded me a little of 'The Witch" from a couple years ago. Though the two stories aren't alike, except for visual story telling and creepy mood. Like honolulu and Bozo said, no jump scares, no super loud musical stings, or other horror film cheap tricks. Just subtle, (almost minimalist) psychological creepiness that builds and builds toward a satisfying conclusion. Very little blood, no disappointing rubber monsters, no bad CGI effects Just lots of creative camera-work and an increasing sense of dread. If you like horror films, or psychological films, definitely watch it.

    UCLA @ OU

    Defensive line is running unblocked to the QB over and over again.
  13. Atlanta was about to call for replay, but the home plate umpire walked over to Joe and overruled him, because everybody in the stadium could see he was safe. No replay necessary.
  14. I think Bote is batting around .260 which is pretty low for this team. But I'm not sure there is anybody I'd rather have at the plate the game on the line. He's uncanny with these big end-of-game hits.
  15. Going to be tough to go all the way without a true closer. Chapman was huge in 2016.
  16. Gore is fun to watch run. Everybody in the stadium knows he's going to run on the next pitch to the plate, but it doesn't matter.
  17. Have you guys seen the video of voice reproduction software? Software that takes a selection of your spoken words and extrapolates full sentences of their choosing... Now consider that you're talking into a recording device every time you talk on the phone. If phone companies, or the NSA, or a high bidder, decide to create a database of your words, ready to be extrapolated into whatever they feel like typing...they can. The technology exists right now. So, the NSA knowing what pron you watch is hardly the biggest thing to worry about.
  18. People under the age of 18 don't even understand the concept of privacy. I read recently that there's laws making it illegal to manufacture a phone with a removable battery. The batteries must be fused into place...because our lawmakers don't want us capable of turning off our phones. (Powering it off just puts it into standby mode.) Worst part of it, is that, it's not just the NSA/government that has access.
  19. Ignore that hyperlink. It doesn't go to anything. Not sure what I did wrong there.
  20. I used to follow a conspiracy theory guy on my facebook feed because I honestly enjoy the neurotic creativity required to come up with baseless conspiracy theories. Facebook Conspiracy Guy used to post about this exact same hand sign all the time (the okay handsign) He was 100% certain it was symbolizing "666" and the JESUITS were using it to signal to each other. So, you see....you've all been fooled. It's a satanic Jesuit cult that's controlling our government. I want to thank you nutjobs for making me feel relatively less crazy and for reminding me that people will see what they want to see to confirm their beliefs or misgivings. If I keep that in mind, this entire political board is much more entertaining. Now...let me share with you, the good news of the Jesuit New World Order,
  21. Daniel Murphy finishes his swing like a golfer driving off a tee.
  22. Welcome back college football. I missed you.
  23. Utah St. with the ball, crossing the 50, down by 6 points with 9 minutes to go.
  24. Does anyone have a 'trade deadline' for dummies I can borrow? I thought you couldn't put a guy in your post season lineup if you traded after a certain date. But aren't we past that date and the cubs picked up Murphy, while the Yankees traded for McCutchen...and both are eligible to play during the postseason?
  25. Glad there weren't any trash time scores for MSU. Defense played pretty well. Running QB's have given the pokes trouble in the past. Wish we would have seen the freshman and the Hawaii kid, but I guess the 4 game redshirt rule has changed things.
