    Do some of y'all with several daily wear watches change up the strap/bracelet back and forth just for a different look?  If so, where do you source the different straps?  OEM, custom leather shops, online shops?

    Every year or so when it pops in my head I change up specific straps for specific watches

    just got my new tv in.  cant find fucking screws to attach stand to the tv.  called samsung support and they said 'yeah it happens sometimes that the screws are missing'. 

    the manual says screws are m4*14mm... drove to the store and found m4*16mm in the same thread pitch as my outgoing samsung tv.  went home, shaved the length with a rotary tool.....

     

    ..turns out its the wrong goddamn pitch.  went back to the store to get screws in the right pitch.... got home, realized they snuck the fucking OEM screws here

    goddamn you samsung, i was looking for a loose satchel, not something flush in the recess of the tv base.

    also, my htpc (2014 mac mini) cant push 4k resolution.  and the tv receiver - from the national flagship telecom - only does 720p/1080i, with no option for a more advanced unit.  what is this 1980?

     

     

  3. just got my new tv in.  cant find fucking screws to attach stand to the tv.  called samsung support and they said 'yeah it happens sometimes that the screws are missing'.  well fuck the container just has manuals, remote, battery, tv, and the base.... it aint like an ikea chest and i misplaced the goddamn thing somewhere. 

     

    also the tv has no analog in/out and i want to hook up an HTPC with analog out so pffff

  4. what's your personal stance and practice?

     

    never gave half a flying fuck for all of my life.  however the house we bought had a composting setup, so I recently took that on and I really like the idea of repurposing the organic trash.

     

    it's winter, so paper trash gets collected to use as kindling/starter for the chimney.

     

    so naturally, we keep plastics and glass to dispose in the community recycling bin.

     

    and finally, when the previous owner (also a friend) asked us to dispose of his electronic trash, we started adding our electronics to that pile, too.

     

    So basically, now we are full on recyclers, but not out of any conviction, but simply just because.

    I was the hit of our white elephant gift exchange with a 50 pack of Double A energizer-brand batteries. It was stolen and locked-in because, as all parents know, you can never have enough batteries and nobody likes to spend $100 on batteries at Costco for themselves.

    Would've been a lot cooler if they were rechargeables

    I for one am OK with this.


    The Warriors can't even get up for Xmas against Lebron. KD needs to GTFO of there after this season. Nothing left to prove or achieve there. 

    There's always the Raptors.

    So you prove my point, a few cases where a player received some under the table hundreds or a few thousand isn’t free agency so quit equating the two.

    Why you want to make college athletics like the pros is beyond me

    because it is professional athletics,  except most of the players dont get explicit pay.

    You want them to pay how much for a single coffee?  At least it will still be brand new next Xmas.  I would change out the water next December first.

    Lol. I got an recall notification email over an Emerson smart thermostat I bought parents 2 years ago.

     

    Called them to tell them to rip it off for an exchange....they said it's still in the box.

    I would say he was neither overrated nor underrated. Sure, a shitty poker player can still get a royal flush from time to time, but it's all relative. Strong may have been below our standard, but he's better than "shitty" for a program like USF. It took years of consistently causing favorable outcomes at Louisville for him to end up winning a BCS bowl. And he and his staff put a lot of 3* and 4* players into the NFL.

    More than anything, I'm just saying that there's no point in using hyperbole to recast his tenure here in an exaggerated light.

    Flash.in.the.pan

     

    Mangino led Kansas to 12-1 with a bcs bowl victory.  Next year he was 8-5 in a much tougher conference than ACC (actually with a ranked win , which Charlie didn't have in his second "good year").

     

    What happened his entire career? 2 games above .500

     

    Law of averages reasserted itself.

    We’ll have to agree to disagree about his run at Louisville. He turned Louisville into and NFL factory, went 25-3 in his last two seasons, and handed a really good Florida team its ass. His teams were more than just a great quarterback.

    He beat 1 ranked team in that run.  ONE.  That was Florida 33-23.  Same one that squeaked by ULL.

    He also lost to a 8-5 club and a 5-7 club.

     

    The 25-3 run was extremely overrated

  11. He's a 33 year old person who's been under the brightest light of scrutinity as the one of THE highest profile athlete in the world for 15+ years......

     

    ....and for him to not know the perceived image of a post like that (even if it means diddly squat)......

     

    ...ESPECIALLY given his controversial statement just the day before....makes him indescribably stupid. 

     

    Shut up and dribble

    Jones bitch ass has an "apology" vid up on his instagram story. This dude is such a fake piece of shit.
     

    Since this PPV is going to sell -- arguably even better due to the publicity, the only thing redeemable is if the stadium completely turns on the deadbeat (he inexplicably still has tons of fans)....and then him getting KTFO.

  13. She left the rear window of my car cracked while it was parked outside.  It rained all night last night.

     

    I wasn't even mad.  Just asked her to take a hairdryer to it to minimize fucking mould growing in the car.

     

    Of course, if I did something as innocuous as leave the house window cracked, or left a light on, it would be tantamount to accelerating Armageddon.
