  1. It might just be me, but man that looked like the gold medal match to me.
  2. LETS FUCKING GO!!!
  3. Continual flowing games vs Bite sized power points.
  4. That was a big point coming out of the Brazilian Time out.
  5. The men did that too. Don't let up.
  6. This is OTA NBC - there they don't run full screen ads, but PIP the play inside the ads so you can see TEENY TINY play while the ads run.
  7. I switched over to cable, which appears to not have this - they PIP the ads with play. I should say they PIP play with the ads, which isn't a lot better than full cut away, but you get to see something.
  8. The only thing worse than the Brazilian Block party is the commercials during live play on Peacock. Fuck this noise.
  9. Holy shit! Commercials DURING EVENTS? And I don't just mean in breaks - they are literally running commercials during play of events!!! Right now I'm watching Brazil-USA in women's volleyball . This has been a great match going back and forth (USA just won set 1). But during a key moment in the first set (Brazil made a big block to go up 16-15 and take their first lead of the match) Peacock cuts away to run ads! WHAT. THE. FUCK? They missed 3 points and came back right after 18-16 Brazil. They just missed the first point of the 2nd set for ads! I first noticed this yesterday with Men's volleyball and water polo. I just don't get it. A lot of people have given NBC/Peacock credit for FINALLY showing so much stuff live - yes, kind of true. But they've failed to do this for well over a decade, when they've had access to the world feeds for a long ass time and never shown them. I had to use a VPN to pull the BBC feed as far back as London, but it could have been longer and I just wasn't aware. So ONLY NOW is NBC finally doing what they can to show us everything. FUCK!!! They cut to commercial AGAIN right as a serve was about to go!!! COME ON NBC!!!
  10. I would argue that the bulk of legal scholars seem to think this case doesn't have legs. This piece has some really choice quotes https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/elon-musk-twitter-advertisers-lawsuit-joke-1235074957/ They did note that Xitter has strengthened their hand with a few selections (emphasis mine)
  11. Whoops, did I say 2 days, it was supposed to be today
  12. Also let's not forget there was supposed to be a Robotaxi in 2 days, how is FSD going? https://www.threads.net/@vantazach/post/C-WW0nPypM0?xmt=AQGzK2Y3esQUG2mvEwQplt1BF6aDyvVSe8qB7oTI4tgr6w (hint, not good) This shot is right after the car runs a red light to do an illegal left/U-Turn around a guy waiting to turn left and the driver has to take over to fix. it.
  13. Totally NOT Elon Musk asking questions on Twitter I'm sure everything is great over there.
  14. Tuchel at least could argue that there were players at Chelsea that deserved to start ahread of Pulisic. He can't put anyone ahead of him on the US squad.
  15. The next in a long line of tech bros that thought he could do media better than real media people. And like all others discovered that media is hard.
  16. And this is still going on .... https://wapo.st/3LYikXU
  17. I gotta ask - WTF is up with Peacock running ads? And I don't just mean in natural breaks, but literally while games are going on?
  18. Spain had a crazy OG to fall behind early. And Brazil pressed them and got a second before the half. They got a 3rd around 70' and that was it. The last goals made it interesting, but Brazil was in cruise control.
  19. I mean she's 30. My guess is that her game is starting to go. It sucks for her, but father time comes for us all.
  20. No kisses for Spain today.
