  1. Is Apple TV my best bet for my olderish parents, as opposed to Fire, Roku or Google? They have a few apps that aren't on their smart tv that they want. I use Fire and Google, so I can easily show them that, but is Apple more elderly friendly? They aren't too bad. Yet
  2. I love a good sweatshirt for casual occasions and wearing around the house, but I haven't found any that I love. I want a few casual, comfortable sweatshirts under 50 bucks or so. My best is an old Under Armor that I got as a gift 10 years ago an I wear it all the time, but it's been through the ringer so it doesn't leave the house. I thought about a couple more of those, but those have gotten pricey and I don't know if they're as comfortable as they used to be. Just plain, comfortable sweatshirts. Anything jump out at you guys over the years?
  3. Goddammit indeed. This is my go to at night when I'm in the mood for doze watching and I don't have to pay attention because I've seen all of them several times.
  4. Thanks. Are these good for reading outside in the sun and shit? She really wants that.
  5. Gotta find one of these for my mother. She mostly reads books, but also wants casual browsing. No streaming, music, games, media, anything like that. She has an iPhone and an old iPad, but spending that much on a new iPad for mostly reading and looking at some emails seems extravagant. Isn't there something like the Kindle that also has decent browsing?
  6. I'm liking this one too. thanks, Twice
  7. I kept these around with different shredded cheeses for a quick snack. Just zap in microwave.

    I watched Shooter and kinda feel like that actor sucks. But I watched every episode. Cuz guns and killing.
  9. Yeah, this really is a good deal if you're going to have Netflix for the next 6 months anyway. I just got mine and in 2 steps, they credited my Netflix $84, so the Chromecast/Google TV cost 6 dollars. Don't know if it'll be any better or worse than the Fire TV, but didn't cost much.
  10. I've got kind of a dumb one that's related to the data usage. I'm capped and I like streaming fireplaces on 2 TV's in my house all the time. It's odd, I know. One of the TV's is 1080, the other 720. If I stream a 4K video on these, is it going to use 4K bandwidth when it's not actually displaying 4K on the TV's? This is the first time I haven't had unlimited data plan, and also the first time I've had all streaming TV service, so I'm playing around with how much I need to buy. I'm averaging about 50-75 gigs a day and it's just me in the house. I have 1000 GB a month. Guess I'll just bump it up to 4000 GB a month and not worry about it? It's only 20 bucks more a month for a year for that. Fucking data caps. I feel like I'm on my first cell phone plan but these guys won't even give me free nights and weekends.
  11. I thought it was outstanding and I have very little interest in chess. And I mean fucking outstanding.
  12. I bought one of these for 30 bucks. I'm not into lifting, but this and some planking/push ups are enough for me. Well, I'm still a saggy fucker, but whatever. I grab that pull up bar probably 5 times a day until I can't do another one and I'll also just hang and bring my legs up and down and burn the shit out of my core.
  13. Isn't collagen supposed to help with sagging skin? Cuz I'm 43 and feel like I need a bra but I'm not overweight by much.
  14. Anybody heard of these tents? I'm not really in the market, but I'm always looking around and hadn't heard of this company. They've got good reviews and the owner has a lot of experience designing tents, but $600 for a 7 pound, 2 person, 3 season seems like a lot. http://thetentlab.com/index.html
  15. Had no idea this was a thing. Thanks for the post, SBB. This site is a great resource, accompanied by lots of fuck you's. It's just my type of reading. Fuck a book
  16. My setup is my TV ARC input running to the HDMI "Out" on an older Onkyo receiver, to 5.1., watching everything from my Firestick that's directly plugged into the TV. Simple enough. It's been working fine that way for a while, but recently it started not giving me sound when I turn on the tv and receiver. I'd power them off and back on and the sound would be back. Sometimes it took 2 reboots, but usually just one. Now it's not giving me any sound and nothing has changed. I tried a different Firestick and HDMI cable, but nothing. My only logical guess is the receiver is shot? It's 5 years old and the display lights have been dim for a while. The radio from the Onkyo comes out of the speakers fine, but I can't really think of anything else to check. There's not much to it. If I do need a replacement, any basic receiver suggestions that won't break the bank? I would only need it to do what I"m currently doing.
  17. Is there one that should be watched before the other?
  18. Haven't had 0.0, but O'doul's put me back to drinking once after two months of sobriety. Granted, I wasn't trying hard to quit and really didn't want to, so we all know how that goes. But I downed one, downed half another one and it wasn't 10 minutes before I was at the liquor store. I have friends who are alcoholics that handle it fine. I'm not going to attempt it again myself, I don't think. I'm not that confident yet.
  19. This is my buddy's mastiff running away after getting his head stuck in the arm of an iron chair and reigning holy holy all over the patio, trying to get it off his head, knocking over his Webber gas grill in his path. . It was a flurry of panic, destruction and confusion for all parties involved.

    My vape oil battery vibrates for different functions. Recently it started vibrating when I take a really big hit. It's like an old lady shaking her finger at you for driving through the neighborhood too fast.
  21. To me, too. Lab/Golden/Newfie. Good luck keeping that out of water.
  22. Is there any reason to get Google TV when I'm perfectly happy with my Firestick, other than I just saw a colorful commercial for it that made me want it?
  23. I was about to go to sleep then the "BREAKING NEWS" came on. They do suck me in with their little tricks on my brain.
  24. That wasn't mine. I had Independent trucks and PP wheels and bearings IIRC
