Apathy

I agree @RedDenver

I've heard it both ways.  Kind of neat.

Check team ppg over the years.... It's virtually the same..... I hate the "in my day" argument in pro sports. 

Dewiz, he's in his 15th year.... How good was MJ on D in his 15th year? He was a shell of himself by then.For many years, LeBron was one of the best defenders in the league, and may be the most versatile defender ever (Could guard 1 thru 5 with ease).

Well, in my day.....

Seriously though, I used to love the NBA and about the time of Rodman (mid 90's?) I lost all interest. It really was more of a culture thing than anything. I don't mean to say it was better back in the day but it was for me. I just don't care for it any longer.

Oh, the game has definitely changed. It's a guard dominated league now, so much so that even your "big men" have guard skills.

It's a shame you quit watching it, you're missing true greatness (LeBron), and probably the best team ever assembled (Golden State).

@Moiraine Must be a different story

 http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2018/05/07/injured-bear-fatally-mauls-man-who-attempted-to-take-selfie-with-it.html  I think the only way to help someone being mauled by a bear would be to injure the bear.  I could probably save my friend but that's not fair to the bear who is just being a bear, so I'd test Darwin's theory.  Besides, people survive bear attacks.  

I prefer to watch bears from a distance without disturbing them https://explore.org/livecams/bears/brown-bear-salmon-cam-brooks-falls.  I spent a workday watching them catch salmon and decided that it's not easy being a bear.

@4skers89 it's the same story. I don't remember which place I read that they were treating the bear, but I'm guessing the one I saw was wrong.

I was talking about Knap's bear story post in the Misc Topic BS thread:  LINK

He was our best look out blocker.  ("LOOK OUT!!!")

Hopefully his team doesn't play the eagles.  I think he is still getting out of his stance against Barnett.  

@swmohusker - lol.  they only play the Giants twice a year.

Boom Box on your shoulder is the only way to go. I'd look for one that has the CD anti-skip feature and will play cassettes. No sense skimping.

I’ll post pictures later in the year to show my results. First time using it 

Going to mow this week end.  My back yard does pretty well, but my front yard is a giant ball of clay in perma-shade.  I think I am going to do what @RedDenver suggested and do ground cover instead of grass.  (I refuse to live in an HOA by the way)

@huKSer, I'd love to replace all the grass with a ground cover like white or subterranean clover. Or even better, don't replace grass, just sow the clover into it and let the "weed" take over.

I’ve been leaning toward fescue

Carl Spackler bent. It's a hybrid.

I like the rhizomatous tall fescue.  Roots go very deep for a turf grass.  Very drought tolerant.

Loved Mail Call on the History Channel

Loved him in Saving Silverman!

Heaven must have needed a new Gunny. Semper Fi, Marine.

OORAH!

@macroboy- that's hilarious!

Meh. Shia can't be all bad.  He was in one of the greatest golf movies of all times.  LINK

I read how his family sold hot dogs outside Dodgers games growing up and was a fan, pre Even Stevens. 

Haha touché 

@Pedro Guerrero but he was arrested.

Mayweather drain bamaged him.

I wouldn't blame Iowa fans for thinking they'll beat us with how crappy we've looked for several years now. We all know a new Sheriff is in town and that's not going to be the case moving forward, but we need to prove it to everyone out there now. 

Iowa will be solid this year.  The OL will be fine and they havent needed to pass at all to beat us the last few times.  I think this year will be a good game, but as Frost builds his team I think the meetings will get a little more 1 sided in our advantage.  GBR!!!

We're going to beat Iowa like a rented mule.

I’ll have to check that out @ColoradoHusk.....I’m going to assume that’s on HBO Now?

Yeah it should be on any HBO platform. It was originally released last Fall. 

The Defiant Ones is awesome.  Half is about the rise of Jimmy Iovine, as he’s Dre’s partner now with Beats and is the guy who got Dre out of the Ruthless contract when forming Death Row/Interscope Records.  It is long, like four parts, but oh so worth it

Sure showed those no talent hacks, huh?

They farted in their general direction! 

Have worked two jobs consistently since high school. Currently full time, part time, and graduate school. 

@teachercd yeah, spent my highschool and undergrad days in Milwaukee. Also spent a year in Madison later in life. Onion give it away?

Sure did!  They don't still do a print version do they?

I use Hulu TV currently, that's why I was asking. Sometimes the streaming sucks for live sports, it loops back and replays the same 10 seconds a lot.

@ZRod good to know.  I had heard mixed things about Hulu's TV over IP offering...but the more people keep going to TV-over-IP, the more they'll keep honing their craft. 

Now if we could just get Net Neutrality instituted again so the customers have full, unfettered control over their internet, then it will be a golden age for television yet again. 

Vue still crushes them with their DVR system.

lead poisoning?

No it’s not my dog. There was a 14 yr old English setter that was hiking with his owner and 4 other dogs and startled a Black Bear. He ended up losing his life protecting his family from the bear. It’s went viral now 

  poor puppy.

He is a Pug/Pomeranian mix. We gave my son the option to name him which he chose Jacob haha. I told him that’s a humans name and he doesn’t care, so any Jacobs on this board, I’m going to apologize on my sons behalf haha

Almost all of our animals (and there have been a lot of them over the years) have had people names.  

We’ve had dogs named after Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. My daughter named our current dog Sydney.

Heard this the other day on the Elvis Duran show and meant to post it then. I’m ok with either answer

One hole.  Two openings.  A hole in the ground has one opening.  lulz

Do tell!

Daddy daughter date tonight

Nice!

We're having family movie night tonight. Probably Pete's Dragon or Cars 3. Any other suggestions for kids/family movies that recently came out on Netflix/Amazon/Redbox?

RIP.  Incredible to hit 100 years.  Father inlaw hits 90 in a couple of weeks and i hope he makes it 10 more years.

What’s incredible is that’s she stopped working when she was 97 or 99. That’s dedication and she was so nice and lovely to talk to. Always had a smile on her face. Hope your father in law makes it to beyond 100

I think working so long must have been good for her longevity- seems like the busier older folks are, the longer they live.  Sense of purpose is important.

I’m a level 40.....I bought the gingerbread man yesterday haha

I believe Joy Villa does, knapp does not.

Ha I’ve heard the same thing 

You can have subway delivered now?

 i have never heard of joy villa.

kk...looked her up.   still never heard anything she has ever sang.     i don't listen to MAGA radio so doubt i ever will.   lol

I'm willing to become a cross dresser and temporarily denounce my husband on saturdays in the fall, if she's buying the tickets.

Don't know much about the choices you mentioned, but we've had Onkyo's in the past and would buy again.

Thanks.....dilly dilly

If you want to go wireless then Sonos will be much better than Bose.  However, running wires behind walls isn't too complicated especially if you have a suspended ceiling.  If you ever want true surround sound, you will have to plug your rear speakers into an outlet in locations that you probably don't have outlets.  But if a soundbar and sub is all you want, then the Sonos playbar and sub is significantly better than Bose.  There are also much cheaper soundbars with wireless subs that will be better than Bose.

My ceiling is a drywall finish so I’m not to excited about running wires and creating holes lol but I haven’t completely ruled that out. Whatever route I go, the products must be carried through Best Buy cause I work there part time and I get a discount.

@Dewiz  Been traveling the last couple of days.  Here is my assessment; use as you wish.  Systems like SoNos are a closed ecosystem.  Currently, it supports 5.1, the current state of the art is 7.4.2+.  When Sonos decides to expand there is zero guarantee that the current systems won't be left behind., with wired you just run more wires and upgrade the receiver, and sell the old one on CL to offset the costs.

If you are starting with a 5.1 system there is no need to knock holes in the ceiling.  Under carpet runs are pretty easy to do, this will save hassle down the line if you upgrade to ATMOs.  IMO long term effective leans on wired.
