  1. Need a 75 inch flat screen TV. I don't feel like paying >3K for OLED. Currently using a 60" 1080P TV and have no issues w/ it, but need new one for basement. Is Costco deal for the samsung QLED 75" for $1500 the best one out there? I like Costco's warranty policies. Don't want cheap TV, like TCL etc, but don't need to break the bank for a good one
  2. You know that Buffalo Bills NFL scout they showed isn't scouting anyone in our team...
  3. Right, I have looked into the Ooma. But if I get Xfinity with the TV, which I don't have right now, the net cost will be lower than paying a hundred bucks for internet and keeping my streaming AT&T service. And that's without phone.
  4. I'm at the point where I think I am going to go back to Xfinity triple play. The wife wants a home phone because all providers are spotty at our house and she's worried about contacting babysitters, emergencies, etc. Comcast has no internet + phone packages. I can get 2 yrs of triple play w/ 205 channels and 300mbps internet and phone for $130/month. I have to see how many extra hidden fees there are. But right now I get ATT TV Now for $65, plus my internet/HBO for $115 . So in 2 yrs I will save quite a bit and still have the phone. I saw that Xfinity has a streaming app, as I assume I have to pay more for TV boxes for all the TVs. We have 2 main TVs and I could stream to a chromecast for the other minor TVs that I rarely watch live on. And I could use the app on my phone just like I do ATT TV Now. Am I wrong?
  5. Movie was meh. Overall a waste of time. Cringe-worthy scenes included the moon blood dance and the abortion counselor. First was funnier and had more shock value. Spent a lot of time wondering how staged many parts were and how much the "unwitting" participants were aware/paid (like the 2 Texas rednecks). Very political with left slant, which is funny at times but tired overall. The Giuliani climax (pun intended) also felt very contrived and edited. Regarding that scene, you'll see what you want to see, just like with today's political BS but it was obviously intentionally slanted to make you believe the worst. One cool thing was seeing him at the CPAC in early March in DC. I was at the same hotel for a different conference and was probably in close proximity to borat at some point. Also seeing what Pence was saying (15 cases in the US, we are ready for it) was strange and sad.
  6. Wife is heading to the pet store today to ask this question and buy whatever food they were feeding him. He's a pretty active fish otherwise, seems healthy.
  7. My betta is on a hunger strike. I have offered him a pellet per day this entire week and he hasn't eaten one. It's been a week since I got him and he hasn't eaten once. I take the pellets out after 20 minutes to avoid polluting the water. Wtf.
  8. It's always on. Every time I check the temp it's about 82. They say betta like 78-82. I've left the tank without the fish after a 50% change few days ago. All tests strips including ammonia are normal. Thinking I'll get a new betta tomorrow and see how it goes. Gonna feed once every couple of days.
  9. Is there any realistic chance that we fire Herman mid season? Can we start a go fund me for the buyout?
  10. Get the #FireTomHerman trending on Twitter again
  11. This team has given up Get #FireTomHerman trending on Twitter
  12. Did he decide to wait until the defender got to him? What the fuck with that hesitation?
  13. My tank is small. Like 2 gallons. I have to wait weeks?? Temp is a constant 82 with a small heater in it.
  14. Also I used the test strip for ammonia yesterday. This was after a half tank water exchange the night prior. The strip didn't indicate ammonia was at zero but it was in that square of color just adjacent to it, indicating it was almost at unsafe levels. So I'm assuming that was the issue? Problem is the fish is dead already this morning. Dammit. So now what? When I get a replacement for my daughter, what should I do differently? Do I need to completely remove and clean everything? Or can I keep the water and bacteria in there, treat for ammonia and start with a new fish? If I start fresh with a clean tank, how long until I add the new fish? Do I need other stuff like that bacteria culture stuff to add to the tank?
  15. I assumed the filter is working because I could see the flow of water and I recently switched out the carbon filter thing and the side that the old water was sucked through looked dirty vs the other side. I use imagitarium betta water conditioner.
  16. This morning he's laying on his side in the infirmary (aka the silk plant leaf), breathing heavily. See gif When I get home I assume he'll be better or dead. Ammonia strips arrive today.
  17. Clouding never cleared much despite partial water changes. Betta was laying low at the bottom of the tank not moving, but breathing. Hasn't eaten in a few days (ignores food). Everything I read says that if they breathe heavy they could be sick. Not sure if he was breathing heavy but he looked sick. Read that most likely cause is ammonia levels, except my test strips don't test for ammonia, only all the other stuff (tetra 6 in 1 strips) which all shows up as normal. He stayed at the bottom of the tank tonight but had a little side lean to him so I had to take action. Ordered tetra ammonia test strips. Did a change of about 50% of the water tonight, making sure to remove all fake plants and rinse them off before replacing. We'll see if he's alive in the morning. Wtf I thought fish were easy. Advice please, aquarium people.
  18. Fuck you Tom. GTFO of here. Worthless piece of shit
  19. Someone help me with cloudy water. My betta tank has progressively more cloudy but clear not green or otherwise colored water. I have the test strips from tetra that tell me all of the nitrite, chlorine, hardness pH, nitrate and alkalinity levels are normal. The betta seems happy, he just swims around and blows bubbles and eats. I have been intentionally trying to remove any food that is not eaten. I just added some fresh water yesterday that I made sure to treat with conditioner and let sit for a while. I have read that some clouding of the water is fine and due to bacteria levels and should clear. I have also read elsewhere that it could mean my filter isn't working, but the filter pump continuously running and only a few weeks old. Advice?
  20. Holy shit. I had a work event and had to record the second half of the game. Of course my recording stops with us down 8 with a minute left. I figure "It's at tech, Herman is our coach, no fucking way, it's over" Then I check the score on ESPN. [emoji2962] I saw highlights on ESPN but if anyone has a recording I can watch of the last drive and OT I'd appreciate it.
  21. FIFY
  22. D'oh... Didn't think of just casting it. I'll try that as well.
  23. I'd like the price to come down as well, but if you have multiple users in your household and use it with the app for floor work, strength training, running etc it's well worth it. Cheaper than many gym subscriptions. Anyone try the new bike boot camp classes? I don't see how this would work well without the swivel screen on the new bike. My bike is positioned with the back against a wall, facing another wall with a TV. No way to work out next to it and use the screen, but can't really bike using the app, or else at least it's pointless for me without the tracking metrics of the bike.
