    - 32" tv (dont need a gigantic tv for my bedroom) the one they have so far is a tcl that doesnt work with a couple of smart tv apps I want. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 11, 06:54
  - I'm disappointed in the fact that there's nothing we need right now. - JaxSean Jul 11, 06:42 5
    - I got an echo dot and I may do the psvr deal -- nm - decline Jul 11, 06:58

  - Which is the only format that matters - Krusty Jul 11, 05:54 17
    - Database format for the win: 2017-07-11 -- nm - Shaun Jul 11, 06:23 5
      - I wouldn't want to write it this way all the time. And reading it doesn't flow right. -- nm - Krusty Jul 11, 06:58
      - i *wish* this was the norm. -- nm - Andie Jul 11, 06:56
      - Yep -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 11, 06:37

      - Agreed. I will say the metric system is the better measurement system but our written dates are better. - Krusty Jul 11, 06:09 5
        
        It has to do with the way dates are spoken in English.. - Marlowe Jul 11, 06:29 4
        
        Yeah and that's one thing I had a hard time with when learning Italian. The order that things go in was tough to get used to since it's - Krusty Jul 11, 06:37 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        Honestly, i never trust dates in the number only format here. We see both so often that something like 05/11/17 is meaningless without context. -- (edited) - Andie Jul 11, 06:52 1
        
        yup, makes me happy hwne it is 24/12/17 cause I know it is December but 11/5/17 drives me to drink -- nm - Beaker Jul 11, 06:54
      - Yeah, the order of middle-sized unit, then smallest unit, then largest unit makes intuitive sense. -- nm - Roger More Jul 11, 06:03 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        I think if you're saying 2 March or March 2, it doesn't matter - people will get what you say no matter what version you use. - Roger More Jul 11, 06:25 1

So now that Enzo's wrestling career is over, can he be Asuka's manager now? -- nm - Qale Jul 10, 21:29 14
- he's come a long way from a baker in the Godfather -- nm - Beaker Jul 11, 05:59
- not work at Ferrari? -- nm - peglegpete Jul 10, 21:54
- There was also some unfortunate camera work (which is the fault of the PPV's name) -- (link) - Tim Jul 10, 21:46 [Image] 1
  - So she's the new Squirrel Girl? -- nm - David Jul 10, 21:52
- The who in the what now? -- nm - David Jul 10, 21:32 8
  - Um, the NXT Women's Champ? The Empress of Tomorrow? Her English is worse than Nakamura's. Let Enzo trade in his KFC for a real woman. -- nm - Qale Jul 10, 21:41 7
    - I'm not going to give you two hours for this (yet), but I do want to know what's wrong with Enzo. -- nm - David Jul 10, 21:52 6
      - Enzo doesn't have Cass to back up his mouth anymore. I don't know what you do with him when this feud ends. -- nm - Tim Jul 10, 21:56 4
        
        You think, "Ric Flair and Roddy Piper did pretty well..." -- nm - David Jul 10, 21:59 3
        
        Piper - 6'0, 230lb .... Flair 6'1, 245lb...... Enzo 5'11, 200lbs. - Will Hunting Jul 11, 06:42
        
        Comparing Enzo to Ric Flair is like comparing - Strongbad Jul 11, 04:57
        
        I don't see Enzo Amore going into the Hall of Fame anytime soon. -- nm - Qale Jul 10, 22:17
      - He was just kicked to the curb by the guy Vince actually wanted? I'm just trying to keep him employed, David. -- nm - Qale Jul 10, 21:54

  - Yes and... - David Jul 10, 20:44 1
    - Yup. -- nm - Tim Jul 10, 20:44
- yeah it was. and we're again reminded why you never give Brock a live mic. -- nm - Remlik Jul 10, 20:35 2
  - Suits says that word a dozen times an episode. - David Jul 10, 20:37 1
    - They do but they're not a pg show. And I loved him on mic -- nm - Remlikindle Jul 10, 21:24

- But how are your high powered sniper rifle skills coming alone? - decline Jul 10, 21:25 1
  - Not as good as mafic's long-range poisoning skills. -- nm - David Jul 10, 21:32
- Didn't understand a word of it...but good for you !!! -- nm - Meg Jul 10, 20:39
- Awesome, congrats! Did the Matt Damon lookalike survive the Oscar fiasco? -- nm - David Jul 10, 20:33 2
  - Yep. See im - MDH Jul 10, 20:46 1
    - That's too bad. A lot of the focus is on Cullinan and all they said about Ruiz is basically "she was there too". -- (link) - Mop Jul 10, 21:53
- Congrats! -- nm - Krusty Jul 10, 20:30 1

Your top 10 songs: Despacito, I'm The One, That's What I Like, Wild Thoughts, Shape of You, Humble, Believer, Body Like A Back Road, Congratulations, Unforgettable -- (edited) - Tim Jul 10, 20:15 [youtube] 1

Tick bite turns people into vegetarians. Unclear if the smugness comes with it. -- (link*) - Tim Jul 10, 20:05 2
- If this gets to Texas, all is lost! -- nm - Mop Jul 10, 21:55 1
  - agreed. - Epiphany Jul 11, 05:56
My favorite thing in wrestling over the last two years is how much Bailey and Sasha love each other. - David Jul 10, 20:00 5
- It will make the moment when Sasha inevitably turns on Bayley extra heartbreaking. -- nm - Tim Jul 10, 20:03 4
  - you mean when Bayley turns on Sasha -- nm - Remlik Jul 10, 20:09 1
    - Heel Bayley! Go Hug Yourself! -- nm - Tim Jul 10, 20:14
  - Yeah, but that's the fake stuff. I'm not sure Sasha loves her husband as much as she loves Bailey. - David Jul 10, 20:06 1
    - I'd say coming up together in NXT pretty much galvanized their relationship. -- (edited) - Tim Jul 10, 20:13
Heh, and I don't know how daughter puts up with me. Asked her what she thought about me coming out for granddaughter's graduation next year.... - Meg Jul 10, 19:58
David--Have you seen these glasses that let you see colors--I've seen a bunch of "reaction" videos on Youtube--Seems legit. - Flavorize Jul 10, 19:55 6
- That's interesting, but I'm weird about this. It's really not a big deal to me. -- nm - David Jul 10, 19:58 5
  - legit question, then why do you care about 8bit and 10 bit color? can you see any difference? -- nm - Remlik Jul 10, 20:19 4
    - I referenced this on the last board. I honestly have no idea if I would or not. - David Jul 10, 20:30
    - The photo I shared shows this kind of moray effect in 8-bit that 10-bit doesn't have. -- nm - Mop Jul 10, 20:30
    - I had to watch this video to even have a clue how it might be different. I don't think David will notice but Kim could might if she's an imagefile. -- (link) - Bacon Jul 10, 20:24 [youtube] 1
      - The video uses black and white as an example. Clearly, even if you're color blind, 10 bit has a benefit. -- nm - Mop Jul 10, 20:39
Thx for the answers. 10bit or 8bit is a new metric for me -- nm - Bacon Jul 10, 19:46 4
- FWIW, the TV isn't shipping for 8-9 days. So, I ordered one while I do research about how good it is. -- nm - David Jul 10, 19:55 3
  - It's a great price. I mean wow -- nm - Bacon Jul 10, 20:04 2
    - Right, at $400, I just can't see any downside. - David Jul 10, 20:08 1
      - yes yes and yes. -- nm - Bacon Jul 10, 20:10

I hate piracy of games, but RPS' stance is that NOLF is currently abandonware, so have at it, and I agree. -- nm - Tim Jul 10, 19:43 1

one of the guys in my office is at work sick, and moaning about how someone else in the office came to work sick and transmitted it. - mafic Jul 10, 19:40 1
