  1. Went out to hidden falls today. May need to move up the timeframe on the annual wash. Also somehow managed to smash the front license plate back and lost the hook on the winch at some point.
  2. I still have my Vic-20 computer from ~1982 and my Apple IIc from 1985. Haven't fired them up in a while. As far as daily use you can add me to team alarm clock. Bought it new in 1989 at the PX in Orlando for $7. Still going strong after 16 moves and 34 years.
  3. So which one did you buy?
  4. just because there is an idiot on one side of an argument doesn't eliminate the possibility of morons on the other side.
  5. royiv is taking some time off for being an idiot troll.
  6. Everyone should get the calcium scoring done but to be sure should get a stress test too if you think you're at risk. I had the calcium scoring done and it came back 100% clean. Less than a year later had a heart attack with 90% blockage. The doc did think I was around 10-20% blocked in that artery but a piece broke off and got stuck. Other arteries were around 10-15%. I was 47 at the time. Doc explained that calcium in the blockages doesn't start appearing till you're 50+ so the test isn't that accurate before you're 50. The liver converts carbs and sugars to cholesterol, but for some people it's mainly hereditary and nothing but drugs will lower it.
  7. Saw that a year or so ago. Yep, much like Sweet Hereafter and Wind River, starts off depressing and every time you think well that's it, it can't be any more depressing, then they take it another notch.
  8. Yep, a threat of calling the cops if we don't get our stuff by Friday is what I would do.
  9. Fridge died yesterday and it's 15 years old so probably not worth fixing and I've wanted a new one for a while anyway. Have a 42" space. WTF How is it I can get a 36" wide 28cuFt for $1100 but a 42" wide 24cuFt is $10,000? And why can't I get a 42" wide 30 cuFt?
  10. some poker pros made a similar bet on free throws Their bet was he could hit 90/100 free throws. He had unlimited retries and had a year to do it. He did it after a few months. Won $285k https://www.cardplayer.com/poker-news/25282-high-stakes-poker-pro-mike-mcdonald-wins-250k-on-free-throw-prop-bet
  11. what am I missing on the first hand? As described you had the nuts, a strait to the Q, while the others had a smaller strait and trips. Did you lose $75 on the first hand and this is a later hand?
  12. John Leguizamo in the menu In the Mandalorian:
  13. Was all excited to watch the dirt race. Holy shit this is boring as fuck. 3 laps racing, 3 laps yellow flag, repeat.
  14. Etxhorn81 is taking some time off. The rest of you need to post some content and not just personal attacks or you will be too.
  15. He played it pretty close to what I would. With the check on the turn I'm pretty confident there's no boat or quads out there that beats mine. Most people will bet hoping people will chase a strait or flush. They wait to bet on the river they probably aren't getting any callers if the draws miss. I have seen a few players slow play there but it is not very common. With pot limit you only get so many chances to load the pot up so there are fewer traps laid. I would have bet out at least a half a pot on the river thinking I probably have the best boat at that point.
  16. Guess I should learn to read. Wife has a Honda CR-V. They come in AWD. Has 100,000 miles and we've only had to change oil, spark plugs, windshield wipers, air filters and tires. Don't know if I've ever had anything as reliable.
  17. You can get a pretty nice 2000's 4runner for $10k If that's too big the Rav4 isn't bad.
  18. I agree 100% and wish you and others would report these posts as "right wing trolling" so i can nip them before they start something. I fully admit I may gloss over those posts due to not spending much time in CR and not knowing the current talking points/dog whistles. I know we've looked into it in the past but don't think without a bunch of customization would be able to do anything.
  19. No, not at all. I'm saying with a topic like Brexit it turns into a left/right discussion. Yes, I'm aware of that and if I feel like reading about those topics I head to the CR and read about them. What i don't understand is how intelligent and sane posters such as yourself have this compelling need to bring politics into any and all discussions. I just can't understand how you feel even though you are completely free to discuss this at length in one part of the site it's the fucking end of the world if you can't discuss it in another part of the site. If you're at a bar with a friend and he mentions he's excited about the upcoming Ukrainian offensive do you immediately respond "yeah but Trump is an asshole and tried to break up Nato" This like much of moderating is one of those "I can't define phonography but I know if when I see it" things. When I try to determine if it is or isn't it usually comes down to opinions put in the post. A post such as "Ukrainians would be better off with more abrams tanks but GOP controlled congress has them on hold" would be ok but "fucking gop clowns should all be charged with treason and hung" would not. I generally leave tweets up that report news even if it's political, I tend to remove posts that are people's political opinions on that news. I know it seems like I'm one sided, but it's not an easy job and wherever I make the cut someone is going to be mad. My goal is to keep that thread as easily readable as possible and about the war as much as possible. Sometimes that means deleting a few posts before it goes completely off the rails.
  20. I try my best to moderate fairly. There are days where I have plenty of free time to moderate, and other days like yesterday where I was very busy at work and with family and I didn't have time to clean up the thread. You are free to discuss those things on the CR thread on Ukraine. The problem with those discussions is they end up turning into a mudslinging left/right clusterfuck. Do you really enjoy reading a full page of "your team did this", "but obama", "but trump"? Do you think that people reading that thread don't know the russians try to influence elections in the west? Are my moderation policies going to turn the tide and let them get away with it?
  21. Yes, obviously it's me that got my feelings hurt and not you. What is this, your 5th post crying about it?
  22. this thread has run it's course, there's a thread in CR if you would like to discuss this.
