        I remember! welcome back! :) - -- nm - i.b.! Jul 12, 19:31
  - I saw that yesterday. Do we know what it is? (I walk to and from work on Pugh now; avoiding Allen.) -- nm - Amanda Jul 12, 19:07 1
    - it's some kind of lure, draws in more wild ones to catch, I think. -- nm - friendimaginary Jul 12, 19:12

Soundbars for home theater. What do we think of them? -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 18:34 2
- *likes* -- nm - Man from Mars Jul 12, 18:36
- They aren't the "best" sound, compared to a nice system. But we use them because they are spacesaving. So if you aren't an audiophile, they work fine. -- nm* - Bacon Jul 12, 18:36
BoC. Got one. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 18:32

Rio opening ceremonies to air with 1 hour tape delay on NBC -- nm - Beaker Jul 12, 18:22 13
- VPN and watch the CBCfeed. -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 19:00
- I hated the constant tape delay in 2012.. That's not something we do here.. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 12, 18:51
- I expect that to be the norm throughout the games despite the small time difference. I'll likely watch a lot of the events online and live as - Krusty Jul 12, 18:40 3
  - How else will they be able to set up how the Americans do in events and know which ones to focus on? -- nm - iSpam Jul 12, 18:52
  - That is why it's idiotic. One damn hour?? Really?? Spoilers morons, spoilers -- nm - Bacon Jul 12, 18:41 1
    - This reminds of of when I was in High School. The local ABC affiliate here in Portland had a 1 hour delay on Monday Night Football. ONLY for us. - Bacon Jul 12, 18:44
- D U M B spells DUMB -- nm - Bacon Jul 12, 18:30
- damn Zika. -- nm - Tim Jul 12, 18:29 3
  - I guaran-damn-tee you that there's people worried that they'll catch The Zika from watching the Olympics. -- nm* - Reagen Jul 12, 18:29 2
    - No, the tape delay will kill it. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 18:33 1
      - duh -- nm - mud Jul 12, 18:33
- Seems like a bad idea. -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 18:25
- To give them time to cgi out all the bad stuff? -- nm - decline Jul 12, 18:25
This is what I think of the Pokemon game... -- (link) - znufrii, dad. Jul 12, 18:13 [youtube]
Awww. My 3 free months of YouTube Red and Google Music for buying my Nexus 5X are up. -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 18:04 6
- What does YouTube Red give you? -- nm - David Jul 12, 18:17 5
  - Red stuff -- nm - decline Jul 12, 18:25 2
    - Your answers are terrible and you're terrible. -- nm - David Jul 12, 18:52 1
      - This is funny. -- nm - Amanda Jul 12, 18:53
  - Namely for me it was the ad free without adblocking. - Qale Jul 12, 18:22 1
    - I should mention that the two services come together so really if I subscribed it'd be for the Google Music, aka Not Quite As Good Spotify. -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 18:25
Nothing like making the most important announcement of your campaign on the traditional news dump day -- (link) - gerald Jul 12, 17:55 1

  - And? You don't fuck with the anthem. -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 18:05 2
    - Seriously. And since when did Canadians engage in such blatant rudeness?!?! -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jul 12, 18:21 1
      - This is just the pretext we've been waiting for -- nm - gerald Jul 12, 18:50
- What in the ever loving fuck? -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 17:49 2
  - Blame Canada! -- nm - David Jul 12, 18:19
  - that was pretty much my reaction -- nm - Beaker Jul 12, 17:50
Customers caught up in the Verizon/Frontier switch are still having problems - Frontier blamed it on receiving corrupted data from Verizon. -- (link) - Meg Jul 12, 17:46 1
- It's sucking their stock price down a bit -- nm - Bacon Jul 12, 17:49
WTF Amazon? How could your Visa Prime Day $30 off offer expire when it's still Prime Day??? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 12, 17:39 1
- Yep, I just got fucked on that an hour ago -- nm - Bacon Jul 12, 17:44
Team Valor! - ty97 Jul 12, 17:37 13

  - At gyms when you battle -- nm - Bacon Jul 12, 17:52
- Valar Morghulis -- nm - Peglegpete Jul 12, 17:46
- people in urban areas have it so much easier :) -- nm - CQ Jul 12, 17:38 8
  - It's lure central around here. -- nm - ty97 Jul 12, 17:45 7
    - Sounds about right. - spamlet Jul 12, 17:52
    - plus you have stops everywhere. makes it almost impossible to run out of pokeballs -- nm - CQ Jul 12, 17:51 5
      - I have a stop at the playground on the other side of our fence. I am close enough to it while in the living room or bedroom. -- (edited) - kelly Jul 12, 18:06 1
        
        There are going to be a lot of people here who have stops close enough to their place, alas not me normally. - ty97 Jul 12, 18:07
      - Did you see my picture in the Slackers group? - ty97 Jul 12, 17:52 2

        We have to get the paddles ready for initiation. They haven't been used in a while. -- nm - iSpam Jul 12, 19:03
- I am halfway to lvl 7 fellow teamie -- nm - Bacon Jul 12, 17:37
SWGOH: Mods are game changers, guys. - Dignan Jul 12, 17:32 17
- Yep, it will unfortunately divide the FTP and PTP players more, I fear. -- nm* - ML Jul 12, 17:33 16
  - I haven't noticed much about P2P yet.. - Marlowe Jul 12, 17:57 4
    - There are characters that only come out of paid packs but the bigger issue is people paying for crystals to refresh energy. - spamlet Jul 12, 18:02 3
      - Ahh, OK, so it's mostly a matter of speeding up things.. - Marlowe Jul 12, 18:05 2
        
        There's really no middle ground. If you're going to spend, you have to spend a lot. - Dignan Jul 12, 18:08 1
        
        Some people have too much cash laying around.. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 12, 18:29
  - What this is going to do is make a whole lot of previously useless toons viable. - Dignan Jul 12, 17:41 7
    - But if everything gets buffed, they're still slow and useless compared to what you could have. -- nm - spamlet Jul 12, 17:49 6
      - For arena, probably (but not always). It'll be a huge boost for GW and raids. nm - Dignan Jul 12, 17:52 5
        
        Ah, that's true. -- nm - spamlet Jul 12, 17:57
        
        Teebo is a monster in raids at gear 10, for example. Now he can have gear 10 potency at gear 8. nm - Dignan Jul 12, 17:54 3
        
        I'm farming him now and need to figure out how he works. Is it just stealth him the first turn and then hit normally to take out TM? -- nm - spamlet Jul 12, 17:57 1
        
        Yeah. Make sure he's leader. And it really helps to pair him with other ewoks. - Dignan Jul 12, 18:04
        
        Turn meter raid teams are going to be unstoppable now. nm - Dignan Jul 12, 17:55
  - (Selling raid gear in the shipments and shard shop is what's going to screw F2Pers.) nm - Dignan Jul 12, 17:38
  - Nah, it helps both sides equally. - Dignan Jul 12, 17:37 1
    - (Though I guess it will depend how much the rare pieces cost to upgrade.) nm - Dignan Jul 12, 17:44
Looks like Trump will not speak at the annual NAACP convention. 1st Presidential candidate in over a decade not to speak -- (link) - amoxy Jul 12, 17:20 10
- spoiler - Spawn Jul 12, 17:40 2
  - The last candidate who didn't speak at all was Bob Dole in 1996. -- nm - amoxy Jul 12, 17:42 1
    - Okay, 2 decades is a bit more sizable. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 17:43
- He scurred -- nm - Jovian Jul 12, 17:36 1
  - Yup...He would start winging it, somebody would heckle him from the audience and he might say a bad word -- nm - amoxy Jul 12, 17:41
- Huh, I though "the blacks " love him? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 12, 17:25 4
  - just Shirley Temple -- nm - Peglegpete Jul 12, 17:32
  - Not "the blacks," just "a black." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 12, 17:29 2
    - "His black" -- nm - Meg Jul 12, 17:37 1
      - Yeah, his black should go and speak on his behalf. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 17:59
7 years? LOL -- (link) - Spawn Jul 12, 17:13
Does anyone use Amazon Fire stick in lieu of cutting cable? Thoughts/reviews? -- (edited) - Strongbad Jul 12, 17:03 21
- I buried it in the IM, but what do you want to be able to watch? Are you close enough to pull content OTA? How geeky do you want to get? -- nm - spamlet Jul 12, 17:51
- I'm going back to Hulu Plus here in a short while. I don't like their new Watchlist vs Queue, but it's fine, it'll work like before. -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 17:43
- Going a step further, my suggestion is to sign up for three months of Sling. - David Jul 12, 17:10 5
  - Can you record using Sling? -- nm - Strongbad Jul 12, 17:20 3
    - The answer is probably no. There are exceptions, but I wouldn't bank on it. - David Jul 12, 17:23
    - No. They have a small on demand but most cable companies block it. I's for live TV only basically. -- nm* - spamlet Jul 12, 17:22 1
      - It gets a bit worse than that. Lose your place and you have to stream the entire episode again. Limited fast forwarding on the on demand. -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 17:36
  - Are they still doing that? For once, I'm going to tell you to listen to David. -- nm - spamlet Jul 12, 17:13
- Get Roku instead. It's largely content agnostic. - iSpam Jul 12, 17:08
- Gary Busey -- nm - gerald Jul 12, 17:07
- I tried and sent it back for lack of Ultraviolet support. The new Roku Stick for 40 bucks is amazing and better imo -- nm - Bacon Jul 12, 17:04 10
  - Roku supports the most platforms and plays nice with everybody the others don't -- nm - Bacon Jul 12, 17:05 9
    - and Roku even supports Amazon Prime TV -- nm - Bacon Jul 12, 17:06 8
      - I've read a couple of reviews... consistently stating that Roku freezes and Amazon Fire is a much smoother interface? -- nm - Strongbad Jul 12, 17:15 7
        
        I have a stick and I have to reboot it every once in a while, especially on Vudu. You just pull it out and stick it back in. - spamlet Jul 12, 17:18 4
        
        That is the purple stick right? The new black one does not seem to do that -- nm - Bacon Jul 12, 17:28 2
        
        Yes. Glad they improved it because it's a pain in the ass. -- nm - spamlet Jul 12, 17:50 1
        
        Being behind the television I can imagine! Our TV has shelves on both sides and would be a big pain in the ass -- nm - Bacon Jul 12, 18:03
        
        Huhuhuhuhuh..."You said pull it out and stick it back in" -- nm - Beavis Jul 12, 17:22
        
        The new Roku Stick has a 4 core processor, we have 2 and zero lag zero freezing to date -- nm - Bacon Jul 12, 17:16 1
        
        they might be reviewing the one the older one -- nm - Bacon Jul 12, 17:18
why are the visitors in white? -- nm - mud Jul 12, 16:56 3
- Because the NL parks will have the All-Star game 4 years in a row (starting last year). And they are the visiting team - amoxy Jul 12, 17:11 2
  - Because they started awarding the game to new stadiums instead of just deserving cities. NL out built the AL. It's that simple. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 12, 17:41
  - ah -- nm - mud Jul 12, 17:16
First 20s something woman to show up been mostly dudes -- nm - Bacon Jul 12, 16:54
