  1. Why would you want to look into a piece of shit?
  2. Decided on CB over New Year. Just me and the kids. Can't wait. Any recommendations appreciated.
  3. Definitely said some prayers after those Long Island iced teas.
  4. Tough to beat the same team twice and a little worried about Sam's shoulder. Defense will need to step up with some big stops on 3rd and 4th down, and the offense can't step on its own dick with stupid penalties/mistakes if we want to win. Texas 45 ou 49 My heart says we'll win, my head, well fuck. ou sucks always and forever.
  5. I graduated the summer of '98 but my gf/now wife was still in school so we went to the game. What an incredible run and the entire stadium exploded - maybe the loudest single moment I've ever experienced in DKR. Just an amazing play to break the record. Interestingly, I lived a couple houses down from the guy who hugs Tony Dorsett in the video after the touchdown. Spent 30 minutes after I got home screaming (not too loudly since I was already hoarse) on the phone at an aggy friend of mine about aggy being Ricky's bitch and him holding the record for most yards against a single opponent. Not sure if that record still stands or not. I think it was just shy of 800 yards he had against them in his career. Great ending to win on a last second kick as well since Ricky fumbled twice which let a&m back into the game. Would have definitely put a damper on the record if we had lost.
  6. Love this IWC. A picture to show the amazing detailing. Love the tapered chamfered edge. Ignore my hairy arm.
  7. Filet. Sides are courtesy of my in-laws. Salt and pepper only. Sous Vide for an hour+ at 127.5, then a quick sear on a 550° cast iron skillet. Also used a torch to get a little extra crust.
  8. Not when he ignores a thrown punch and says the guy shouldn't be thrown out. Normally he's good. Gus Johnson should do voiceovers for last second shots in basketball. Otherwise he's the most annoying person in sports. My least favorite announcer ever.
  9. This. Forcing a subpar "feature" that a lot of people don't want is BS. Placing it next to the volume buttons is complete shit. Making it difficult or impossible to disable is egregious Apple-level hostility towards the end user. The fact most people don't see what the big deal is is exactly why they can pull that sort of crap. Apple doesn't know how I want to use my phone and neither does Samsung. It was arrogance from Steve Jobs and he was at least demanding excellence to his standard. Here you have Samsung forcing a piece of shit down everyone's throat. Enjoy. I'll pass.
  10. This is correct. He was leading the league in yards/attempt with VY (I want to say it was something well north of 6 ypa) and it went down significantly without VY.
  11. Updates are another issue completely but there was apparently a disable option before if you had a Samsung account and they removed it. I don't think they have much intention in disabling it but I could be wrong. The problem I have is 1) AT&T fucking sucks, 2) AT&T really fucking sucks in my neighborhood which includes my house and my office to the point where my current phone is nearly unusable as a phone or a device to send texts, 3) Samsung seems to have the best connectivity with AT&T which will hopefully alleviate those issues somewhat, 4) Samsung is one of the few manufacturers to provide a headphone jack and the last thing I need is to pay hundreds of dollars for some other device to keep charged when I already own nice headphones. So it shouldn't be complicated, but it is. And this Bixby shit should be such a non-issue but Samsung wants to fuck everyone's face with it. And this sort of shit is why I fucking hate Apple products. I'll probably just go back to Verizon and get a OnePlus 6T and deal with a stupid fucking dongle accessory for my headphones to work through the USB-C port.
  12. absolutely this. I love LJH, but between his missing a series for missing a team meeting and the starting senior corners being benched for a quarter, it was pretty obvious the "seniority" was not 100% focused on the OSU game. This team needs "leaders" more than it needs upperclassmen. Hopefully the 2018 class steps up after the year and really leads since they aren't newcomers anymore.
  13. You acknowledge they can issue another update to make it even more difficult or impossible. And you're good with that? I'm assuming the app you are talking about is bxActions - this is from the XDA site: So I'm going to spend $1,200 on something and have it be unreliable? I developed two apps for Android. I've spent more time than most people learning about everything Android, including making apps work with system services, rooting, installing custom ROMs and all that. I'm done with that. It may be "easy" , but I don't want to have to add a 3rd party app that the manufacturer is actively trying to prevent from working. Last time I posted on this thread, it was "easy" and all you had to do was sign up for a Samsung account so you could disable it. It wasn't my phone and I wasn't going to spend the time signing up for an account for someone else to make that happen. But even that's not an option anymore. Now the easiest option is an app that is "unreliable" and this is the process (from the XDA website) Not only that, but it will probably require additional workarounds in the future because Samsung is trying to prevent you from disabling Bixby or 2) set up ADB on your computer and go through a similarly long process and then has to be reset every time you reboot your phone (ButtonMapper). Seems convenient and easy to me too. Right until it isn't.
  14. How do you do that easily? Seems less than ideal. https://www.androidsage.com/2018/08/29/how-to-remove-disable-uninstall-remap-bixby-button-samsung-galaxy-note-9-note-8-s9-s8/ https://www.xda-developers.com/remap-bixby-2-0-samsung-galaxy-note-9/ Just wondering because I need a new phone and it sure seems Samsung is doing everything they can to make it difficult to bypass Bixby.
  15. Don't get the new Samsung phones. They removed the ability to disable Bixby and have been making it more difficult for developers to disable/remap it.
  16. Very nice! The IWC is badass but definitely not small.
  17. The bracelet and slate grey dial. They have downgraded all of the Pilot Chronos to a IWC-adjusted ETA movement vs. an in-house movement. Those movements are only in the Big Pilot watches. Lose the 7 day PR, for 44 hours. Sucks, but that's the tradeoff compared to $13k vs. $6k.
