The actress who plays brida is supposedly really nice irl. And Alexander Draymon has an American accent although he speaks fluent German also. The accent he uses for uhtred is completely made up, it's one of the more unique accents I've heard. Also he's so pretty.
basically they're the discount version of Rose Byrne (major babe) and Legolas.

motherfucker got ripped off by a gypsy cabbie tonight. predictable. shouldve been more on my toes. i wanted to take an uber (had no cash). coworker insisted we share a rickety shit taxi, dropping us off at separate hotels.
we got to his hotel, which was half way to mine. meter read 20 gypsyshekels. he handed me a 50 note which i kept in my fist. gypsy got to my hotel with 49 on the meter. i stuck it out to the gypsy, and he pointed out that it was only a 10.
never felt the 50 note leave my palm. never felt that the gypsy pressed the 10 into my palm. didnt even consider at that moment that the gypsy pulled the switcheroo. grabbed 50 from the ATM and paid him. didnt occur to me what happened until i got in my room. this fucking shit country i tell you

I've seen him lose some big games. Really enjoyed that one shot a few years back of him sitting on his ass, dejected.
But way frequent than that, is seeing him in the 4th, down a few points, march his team across the entire field, calmy, steadily, and you get this feeling he's just going to fucking do it (get a winning TD) And 8 out of 10 times, he fucking does it.
And that's what makes him tom Brady.

Where are the All-Clad all the time ballers?
Demereye is made in first world, also fully multi-clad construction, all metal, but is actually thicker than all-clad, and handle is welded on (rather than riveted) so the pan surface is fully smooth without those pair of all-clad nubs

Ok, cool.
You can get personally butthurt by the truth if you want. I trained judo and muai Thai informally until a serious injury killed my pro sports career and required years of rehab. I was a tool too. You're a tool. Just accept the truth and stop acting like a baby throwing insults out of emotion.
But enough of that. This thread is for us to enjoy the tools giving each other brain damage. Let it get back to that now.
you cant toss a dipshit opinion like that and then just slink away. i'd even say a majority of the roster - especially the upper echelon of the - are good-natured, amicable, honest people.

What makes a good or bad frying pan?
* Handle that is heat resistant so you can put in oven
* Handle that are ergonomic, don't feel cheap as fuck and won't come loose
* Thick and heavy means it has thermal mass and won't lose heat quickly...also ensures more even cooking (relative thickness variance in manufacturing is lower)
* Induction compatible important if you upgrade in future, or do outdoor cooking where you might use portable induction stove
I prefer something more raw like stainless (demeyere), carbon steel (debuyer), or even cast iron. But the wife likes nonstick and sometimes it comes in handy (just don't abuse it with metal utensils).
I have a set from a Spanish brand called BRA and it meets all the checklist above. Really like it and it wasn't expensive

If you can't find that, search for cast aluminum pans. The usual stuff is typically stamped which means the billet/sheet is never thick enough to meet the thermal mass requirements above.

Sorry, but you don't make violence your life unless you're a tool. Cops: tools. Military: tools. Cage fighters: tools.
Don't get me wrong now I enjoy the entertainment factor but these guys are just paid gladiators who aren't supposed to finish the job completely. Nothing more. Nothing less. Disposable.
hows your kale salad?

That's like saying these NBA players seem tall.
These dudes are insulated humans who roll with other dudes of the same ilk day after day and beat each other up for a living. Have you ever seen one that wasn't a total tool?
Theres tons of good personalities on the roster

Crap I bought a new Definitive Technology sound bar and didn’t realize this.
Edit: wait now I remember why I didn’t care. Without the extra wireless speakers, you don’t get anything valuable with Dolby digital, do you? Are you setting up a 5.1 config?
Yeah, it's only for home theater. If you're listening to music it doesn't matter. Though for those who don't get 5.1 passthrough on their tv, there are easy ways around it like buying a splitter or switch

Where can infer the cliff notes on how all this stuff works?
speakers that form their own wireless network so you can attach virtually as many speakers as you want, anywhere around the house.
rather than relying on a direct bluetooth connection to send music from 1 source (your phone) to 1 speaker, the speakers receive signals directly from the internet.
basically, you could be in the attic and instruct a speaker in the basement to play a Pandora song, and it wont be interrupted by your watching porn on the phone.

most TVs dont send dolby digital through Optical, and HDMI CEC allows sonos-alexa to control TV (such as turning it on/off, volume, etc)
