SoCalGas plans to shut of service to the Rancho Palos Verdes neighborhood affected by recent land movement. - Meg Jul 28, 09:55 3
- If gas lines are endangered then so are water mains. They could still have fire take out the neighborhood with little water to fight with - zeitgeist Jul 28, 11:30
- Seems they're down to one choice, since they're shutting down the "blown up by a broken gas line" option. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 28, 10:04 1

FWIW, when I first fired up Peacock for the Olympics, there was some Olympic content but I didn't realize I should click on the Olympics tile. - Mop🧹 Jul 28, 09:46
anyway, like i was saying about the feckless sunday morning hosts -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jul 28, 09:35
Oh, I see why they bang the stick at the beginning of each event. It's a tradition from theater. The folks they have doing it, they're doing it wrong. - Mop🧹 Jul 28, 09:34

      - It kicked in nearly immediately - and vigourously. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 28, 10:03

I sure hope Fox keeps letting Pete on. -- (link) - Volnelk 🍊 Jul 28, 08:34 3
- "Why do we keep letting him on?!" -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 28, 09:38
- Strong messaging, Pete is the best. There's a ton of optimistic usa advertising on now with the olympics. Harris can ride that wave. -- nm - rollo Jul 28, 08:40 1

I’m watching the women’s mountain bike. I love 3 minutes of event, 2 minutes of ads. Fuck you peacock. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 28, 08:22 5

- Papa Peacock gotta pay that $7 Billion nut somehow!!! -- nm - King Of Oklahoma Jul 28, 08:30 2
  - It has the inverse effect on me. I’m more than happy to stop watching. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 28, 08:32 1
    - At least 'stop' the live event so I pick up at the point of return. Instead, we're missing 40% of the show. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 28, 08:38
- Sorry, it’s 2 and 2. The race timer is 7:21 and I’ve seen 4 minutes of ads. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 28, 08:23
DTL: I put some scrimmages up for you guys -- nm - rollo Jul 28, 08:21
The format for replacing tennis players in the singles when there are withdrawals at the Olympics is creating some amusing scenarios. - Dano Jul 28, 07:41 1
- Though it did allow Matthew Ebden to complete his Big 4 collection. He had played the other 3, but had not played Djokovic. - Dano Jul 28, 07:47
Skateboarding in the olympics yeah or nay? It's balancing on a board in conditions, like surfing and skiing so sure why not -- nm - rollo Jul 28, 07:33 11
- Sure! But, if they fall, they should be out. - King Of Oklahoma Jul 28, 07:48 3
  - You fall constantly in skateboarding. It's very difficult to land tricks, even the less difficult ones. It's why they reward people that stay on - Krusty Jul 28, 07:56 2
    - That's my point. What makes it boring is the failed tricks. That's why there's practice. Would you want multiple falls in figure skating? - King Of Oklahoma Jul 28, 08:22 1
      - Especially doing them while drinking an ocean spray big boy -- nm - rollo Jul 28, 08:35
- Absolument! -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Jul 28, 07:41
- Hell yeah! It's really difficult to do at a high level, requires lots of skill and agility. Most people can't stand and push forward. - Krusty Jul 28, 07:37
- If we allow snowboarding, why not? Plus I'd love to see that crazy race they do in snowboarding on concrete to satisfy my sadism. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jul 28, 07:36 4
  - Yeah! Are all of the skateboarding events artistic judged competitions? They need to add races. -- nm - Dano Jul 28, 07:42 3
    - That would be awesome. I'm not sure it's a thing people do as maintaining speed on a skateboard is much more difficult than a bike. - Krusty Jul 28, 07:53 2
      - Races might be too chaotic but a time trial format could work. Mix up the course with some downhill, some flat sections, and some obstacles. -- nm - Dano Jul 28, 07:58 1
        
        For sure. They could also do straight speed races downhill with those long boards. The turns are always exciting as they put their hands down to make - Krusty Jul 28, 08:02
I'm loving the Rugby 7s. Lots of action and fun to watch. -- nm* - Krusty Jul 28, 07:28 2

    - I might be thinking of someone else, but didn’t she try to pivot initially? Guessing there wasn’t much audience for that though, so back to crazytown she went. -- nm* - znufrii Jul 28, 07:27 2
      - she got paid $70m to try and be human on NBC and still couldn't do it -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 28, 07:32 1
        
        Oh, right. Didn't last long. -- nm - Inigo Jul 28, 08:22

Yesterday Peacock had a tab that showed multiple events at once allowing you to pick one to listen to or to switch over to watch. - Krusty Jul 28, 05:11 6
- They moved it from the top., to the bottom—You gotta “enter hub” then scroll down to the bottom and they have icons to choose from -- nm - Trending Jul 28, 05:21 1
  - Thanks! It was the first option on the Olympics tab yesterday. Smart move to bury it so it's hard to find. - Krusty Jul 28, 05:26
- Also, I'm never going to back to watching commercials. Having to see that disgusting anti-smoking ad multiple times is sickening. - Krusty Jul 28, 05:14 3
  - Quit smoking or quit Peacock? -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 28, 06:43 2
    - Heh. :-) I don't smoke and I can't quit Peacock until after the Olympics. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 06:51

Current event in Elder Scrolls Online is PVP within Cyrodiil. I’m not a PVP player. My character is not built for it neither in gear nor skills. - Qale Jul 28, 01:49
There should also be 5 a side soccer at the Olympics. 99% of casual play isn’t conducted on full size pitches with 11v11 players. 5 a side would make - Loyola Jul 28, 00:30 2
- And each period should be 7 minutes! -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 28, 06:45
- Considering how popular soccer already is, I'm sure the everyday player already relates to it well-enough. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 28, 05:35
i didn't get to watch a lot of the 84 summer games but this seems to confirm my hazy recollection that ABC just aired events in real time all day long -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jul 27, 23:42 [youtube]

Some notes on how I would change field hockey. - Mop🧹 Jul 27, 23:17 7
- I would just like the announcers to let me know more especially about fouls or penalties. The ref is constantly blowing the whistle for one thing - Krusty Jul 28, 04:57 6
  - Apparently you can only play the ball with one side of the stick. If you use the other face of the blade, it’s a whistle. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 28, 06:43 5
    - I heard that once and I saw that the ball can't touch your feet but it would be nice if they let us know what was going on more. There are so many - Krusty Jul 28, 07:15 4
      - Yep. I watched a game in college because a friend was on the team. No idea why whistles blew. Destroyed the flow of the game. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 28, 07:34 1
        
        Looks like a fun sport and they get that hard ball? going really fast. But yeah, the flow was always being halted by some random whistle for - Krusty Jul 28, 07:41
      - Yeah. When I watch a sport I know less announcing is better but when I don’t know the sport explain it to me like I’m 5. -- nm - Dano Jul 28, 07:18 1
        
        Exactly. They know the majority of people watching don't know the sport so help us out and give us the info we need to know what's going on. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 07:33
