  - not sure, the guy is doing a slide show with stills now (CNN carrying it) -- nm - mud May 18, 08:26 2
    - his name is Womble and his voice is slowly rising as he seems to be nearing the end of his presentation. If he takes Qs it'll be nuts. -- nm - mud May 18, 08:32 1

  - Tell her! -- nm - Diva May 18, 08:21 1
    - Tell her Dentist/Boss! -- nm - zunk xometimes May 18, 08:34

    - Is that your Tuesday outfit as well? -- nm - Krusty May 18, 07:57
- Shouldn't his kids be tackling him before gets anywhere near a camera like this? -- nm - Reagen May 18, 07:39 2
  - Sometime you just have to let your parents make their own mistakes in the hopes that they learn. -- nm - ty97 May 18, 07:42 1

You wanted it, you got it. GTA5 comes to next-gen (current-gen? whatever) consoles on November 11th, 2021. -- nm - Shaun May 18, 07:31 4
- That game came out in 2013 and it's still going strong. It's crazy how much people still love to play it. -- nm - Krusty May 18, 07:44 3
  - And it'll be $70 and the best selling game of the year. -- nm - Shaun May 18, 07:47 2
    - I don't get it but if the people want more and want to pay more then it makes sense for Rockstar to keep it going. -- nm - Krusty May 18, 07:52 1
      - $$ talks. -- nm - Shaun May 18, 07:54
B2: Rollo, would that be a "safety net" of recruiting prospects? - Barontronic May 18, 07:30 6
- That's the gist indeed ... Dano's strategy is good because it saves ammo for late season pushes on guys but he's giving up the bonus he would get by - rollo May 18, 09:50
- I have a very specific recruiting process - Dano May 18, 07:55 4
  - Points carryover? I don’t think I ever knew this and distinctly thought the opposite. -- nm - Will Hunting May 18, 08:47 2
    - Yes. I like to bank points to have more to play with after I can get real information. -- nm - Dano May 18, 09:53
    - points carry over from week-to-week, but not season-to-season -- nm - rollo May 18, 09:43
  - I'd completely forgotten about the radar 1 pointers -- nm - JD May 18, 07:58
ExpressVPN is a little more expensive, but when I ran both (granted it was a year+ ago) the performance was much better than PIA - and ExVPN's newest - prayformojo May 18, 07:24 1
- We used ExpressVPN for a while as well. Never had any issues with it. -- nm - Dean Winchester May 18, 08:00
Krusty, here’s Nord’s write up on using the service with iPlayer. -- (link) - spamlet May 18, 07:22 4
- Thanks! -- nm - Krusty May 18, 07:25 2
  - The one last thing I’ll say that is nice about Nord is it has a chrome extension so if you just want to run the browser through the VPN you can do - spamlet May 18, 07:29 1
    - Interesting. I tend to watch a lot of shows in my browser so that's a good feature for me. -- nm - Krusty May 18, 07:29
- It wants me to register to use iPlayer but I couldn’t even get to the shows before connecting to the VPN. - spamlet May 18, 07:24

  - More likely our mail. I know lots of my work customers are not getting mail at all. Will let you know later today. Thanks again :) -- nm - Walt_Disney May 18, 07:54 1
    - Yep, that four-figure check mailed to me in February never did arrive. Finally had the funds wired. -- nm - Meg May 18, 08:04
