Danny Ferry, Bobby Hurley, Laettner, Cherokee Parks, JJ Redick and Grayson. Coach K really has a knack for this. Need to check the recruiting class and see who's the heir to the throne.

Barcelona is more and more over run with tourist. Huge hordes of them are Chinese coming off tour buses in vast waves. More and more of the city has to be booked ahead. Sagrada Familia for sure, but also most of the Gaudi architectural sites, Palau de Musica and even the Park Guell, require you to be there at the certain time on your ticket to get in. All but Park Guell make you go with a tour group. Get a Rick Steves Spain guidebook, or the general Europe one that has Barcelona, and follow his itineraries. Park Guell has a great view of the city and some Gaudi stuff, but there's not a subway stop super close and you have a pretty steep uphill walk to get there. Unless your Surly1% where you have to worry about your chauffeur running over one of the Chinese and scratching the Bentley. The water will be very chilly that time of year but there will still be some great tits at the beach. Read some recent reviews, then book ahead for a paella down by the beach. There's a couple of old ass cathedrals. One is the main city one. Decently ornate, worth a look. The other is north east of there a short distance, not as great but if you're in the area, worth popping in. Seemed like some mandatory donation to go in. They have a couple of hop on hop off tour bus companies but those are more and more worthless now that you have to book practically everything ahead.

Absolutely. And I'd love to hear, is it just me or are others noticing a decline in the number of what they consider "great" movies? Looking at just the best picture nominees my greatness count peaked in the 1990s. Decline began in the 2000's and really dropped the last 8 years. Going back further 80s were less than the 90s, 70s more than the 80's, 60s and 50s down but still more than the 2000s. I'm 47, so the peak for me happened in my late 20s to early 30s. Is it my age? If I'm channel surfing I'm gonna stop and watch Road House, Smokey and the Bandit, etc. every time. But they're not GREAT movies. (Point Break is though) Revenent to me, meh. It's sooo beautiful, incredible cinematography, shot with available light, but the story, meh. Same with Mad Max. Visually engaging, but overall ehhh. Wolf of Wall Street, meh. The first time Scorsese did this movie, Goodfellas, it made my great list. Even the 2nd time he did it, Casino, is close. But, now it's just formulaic as hell. Yeah I'm gonna stop surfing and watch it, titties and some great lines but not great level movie. And this is why I wonder if it's me getting old. If you're younger and haven't seen Goodfellas and Casino, then Wolf might be great.

I had one mounted to the frame of a plantation shutter, it was maybe 2-3 inches from the window and it basically never went off. https://kb.arlo.com/63/Does-motion-detection-work-through-glass-or-windows "Motion detection does not work through windows reliably. Arlo cameras use two different kinds of motion detection, and both types are inhibited by glass, especially windows."

Basic ass Arlo user here. They work pretty great. No subscription needed, 10 second recording to cloud everytime the motion detection is triggered. Maybe obvious thing that wasn't obvious to me, you can't use them through a window. The motion detection does not work when you do that. I have one covering my front door so it goes off several times a day, batteries still lasts 6 months. Each uses CR123a's so not cheap to replace. There are cheap options out there to power them if you have power where you will be installing.

First start here, make sure whoever you choose will keep you safe from lawsuit, not that they are going to go after you for wanting to watch some MLB. https://torrentfreak.com/vpn-services-keep-anonymous-2018/ I'm currently trying Windscribe just because it was super cheap. Actually saw it on Slickdeals. I'm just using a windows app. See if they support your router, or are you cool with flashing a firmware to your router. https://windscribe.com/guides

2015 - 6 2016 - 7 2017 - 5 with a couple more to go soon.

Radiohead In Rainbows tour. Had tickets in the pit. Bands usually have those first few albums where they are young and hungry, and then a down while they get used to the life of excess, and then if you're lucky you get a later classic. To me that was In Rainbows for Radiohead. I regret not following them on a few more stops of that tour. They just seemed super tight as a band, the crowd was great, they all played about 20 different instruments, just a great show.

Shawshank, Saving Private Ryan and Pulp Fiction were all at least nominated for best picture and Silence of the Lambs won, so it's not like these weren't instantly recognized at something special. Pulp Fiction was especially huge as everyone tried to copy Tarantino's out of sequence style. I would say most years best picture is wrong,. It's trendy, or political or whatever, but you don't have a lot of misses when you include the nominees. Of course this year The Florida Project was better than any of the nominees I've seen, but I'm not saying it's an all timer. Just a good movie.

Yeah you're probably right on Inception, and that's why I say, its too sci fiey, but it is memorable. Haven't seen Hell or High Water, but now that I look at it I remember seeing part of it in a hotel and thinking shit I need to turn this off and watch the whole thing before I fuck up a possible good movie. And then forgot about it, will remedy that soon. I thought the acting in 3 Billboards was great but what they were acting was rubbish. To me it's got to be more the stories or directing that's lacking. Maybe the good edgy stories never get the greenlight so they can do a remake of something. Sadly friggen Rapestein probably took more chances than most.

Yeah I could probably put Old Country on there as well. One of the all time great bad guys. The ending kind of fizzled out for me a bit, and I think part of my like for it is how familiar it all is. My grandparents had that Granada, and there's a painting on the wall in the hotel that they must have bought at an aunts yard sale, or there's just a million copes of it, lol, but to me they really nailed that aesthetic.

I first noticed how shit movies were getting when The Hurt Locker won best picture. It was OK, but c'mon, best picture? Same for Argo a few years later. For me the Shape of Water also falls into this category. If it was the 1950s that would be on at the drive-in with Creature from the Black Lagoon and it wouldn't get top billing. Then again I've also seen Dunkirk, Three Billboards, Lady Bird, and Get Out and they were no better. Looking through the best picture nominees it just seems like the quality is dropping. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Picture#2010s I go back to Inception before I see what I think as a real classic and it's a little to sci-fiey. Then its There Will Be Blood. Then a big gap to The Green Mile and Saving Private Ryan. Both of those, there's just no flaws, you have to be kind of a huge asshole to not like those movies. I'm not saying there's no good movies. Most of the nominated movies are good, though there are more and more clunkers, I mean something spectacular, that if not up there with The Godfather and Citizen Kane, would certainly make a lot of top 20 lists. Is it just me getting old and remembering older stuff with nostalgia, or is this top top level not being reached anymore for whatever reason?

Live forever, solid gold streets, totally enlightened, etc. or cease to exist. One ticket to non-hell please. The other sounds boring AF.

Gotta work 12 hours to buy her enough lard to keep that Body by Vic look.

Those cold packs where you crush them to mix two ingredients and it gets super cold. Buy some of those, open, take out the beads, mix with aluminum powder, you have tannerite. So that one is not going to be easy to outlaw. Thankfully it takes a pretty good something to set it off. Just a bullet going off even point blank wouldn't do it. You can shoot it with .22 and nothing. I bought some Tannerite about 15 years ago and back then they had videos showing them shooting it with .22 and .45acp and nada. Has to be high velocity, rifle round. So you would have to have a barrel for the bullet to go down, to get that kind of velocity.

This is one of those where it pays to read the whole story. TLDR Lesbian couple with 6 kids, several of which were adopted, goes over cliff, crashes into Pacific Ocean, 5 dead, 3 missing but assumed dead. Wrinkle one. One of the kids was black and shot to internet fame in 2014 by hugging and crying with a cop at a Ferguson shooting demonstration. Wrinkle two. That same kid told the neighbors to leave some food for him by the fence because super moms were starving him to death. CPS came to their house but they had fled ahead of that. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-43581974

Cinque Terre you either don't really need a car, or can't use a car if you try, depending what town you stay in. Plenty of trains running back and forth, and take the boat ride at least one day. Dolomites the car was a must. Hell that's mainly what we did, drive around, head hanging out the window, mouth agape. Incredible scenery. We stayed at a spa retreat place a few miles from any town, so again, car a must. The only time you wouldn't use a car is if you are going to start one place and hike a long way to another. We did a few hikes where we rode a ski lift up then hiked down, or just out and back. Dolomites are seriously underappreciated. Great food, like great Italian food with some German sausages to boot, plus its much cleaner than the rest of Italy. Tuscany also to me great to have the car if you are going out to the hill towns. You can stay in Florence, train to Pisa and Siena for day trips no problem, but for the smaller towns, drive. San Gimigiano, Volterra etc. all have big parking lots for the tourist. Same if you go south out of Tuscany, Orvieto, Assisi, all set for driving.
