Ordered 5 days ago… not expected until like October 21st at the earliest. Really killing my enthusiasm about the upgrade. Seems like poor stock planning by Apple imho. Shouldn’t you plan for demand better? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Some days it feels like it was yesterday some days it feels like it was so long ago. I always wonder how my life might’ve been different. Oh well, what can you do? Just keep going forward. See you around for 36.

I’m forgetting what year it is but the year we had United as a sponsor with the dragon scale shirts and the gold shirt I bought all three kits. I haven’t bought any since. I was going to get last year‘s yellow, but wasn’t quick enough to buy it and they sold out of my size. Contemplating about the goalkeepers kit maybe this year or possibly another but not sure.

So I was wondering for those of you out there how many kits do you own and when do you buy new ones? How often do you buy? Just when you see one that you like or do you buy every year?

Is there a simple strategy here? I’m starting a dynasty with Georgia. I have my 35 recruits on my board i’m following. I need 22 of them. I have identified 9 that are gems.

Now I would assume the ones that are gems I should offer more to make sure to secure them if I can. But how much?

And what about the guys that are not gems but regular recruits but I would like to sign. Do I only offer them exactly what they’re asking? Or do I increase them as well?

Like it shows you that scale, which is neutral, somewhat interested I think, and then really interested or something like that. If those are the guidelines, should I push all of the gems to the point where they’re really interested and then the other guys to the point where there’s somewhat interested?

I know I need to save some points for the guys on my roster already… I believe… But I just don’t understand what the scale how much to do upfront because I know whatever you offer that’s the new baseline but I also know you’re supposed to offer more at the start to get out front if that’s your goal of landing somebody.

Any recommended suggestions on how to do this would be appreciated. Thank you.

I just got a brand new Samsung S95F and an S95H TV for my home. One TV in my office, one in my living room. Both have a PS5, a Switch 2 dock, and a raspberry pie 4 set up with a retro gaming image…

I have 8K capable HDMI cables running from the TV through the walls to where the consoles and cable box are connected.

I need a good 8K potentially capable HDMI switcher. (or at least one that will run the 4K at 120 Hz for the PlayStation) The old one that I have every time, the 4K signal goes through it from the PlayStation it flashes and glitches… Does the same thing if I switch it to the TV feed… It’s a cheap $40 to port switch that I bought off Amazon years ago for both.

So I’m looking for a recommendations. The TV guy who set it up today said I should look for something that’s 48 GB throughput capacity for the 8K potential.

I saw these two:

Any opinions on these or better recommendations? I don’t wanna break the bank something around $100 mark is fine. Suggestions?

WTF am I paying all this money again not to see games? Where is this one broadcasting?

Ughh… it’s always the things we want that we can’t have. I was looking at a Samsung S95H as well as the LG G6. Both obviously OLEDs. But then I started worrying about that dreaded phrase burn in.

Most evenings my TV is probably on 5 to 6 hours… Certainly at least four hours a night while the wife and I watch a variety of TV shows and sports and occasionally Netflix and the odd movie. But when she goes to sleep on the couch, which is pretty much every night I’m flipping on sports. And my biggest worry about OLED is Saturday afternoons and Sunday afternoons in the fall. I have college football on from noon until midnight and NFL football noon till midnight. Obviously Static ticker and things like that are risky for OLED. Given that use scenario and the fact that I also watch a lot of baseball games which are three hours at a pop on the TV. Does that mean I should just avoid OLED altogether?

If yes, what’s my best alternative? What gives me the best picture with Motion for sports but still really good colours for tv & movies in 4K… And something that’s really good for gaming as I’m looking to buy two of whatever this TV is, one for my living room and one for my home office both which have a PS5 and a floating Switch 2 going between them.

I’d really appreciate some suggestions on what to look at and whether I should abandon OLED completely

I’m not sure if maybe now I’m officially “old” at 50 and I’m the old man yelling at clouds out of touch but 2 out of the 3 dinners I took my wife out to at a restaurant in the past 2 weeks we had a mother with a 3 year old and a baby literally screaming through the entire dinner for OVER 1 hour without stopping being heard though the entire restaurant packed full with other customers… and at no point did either of the mothers quiet their kid, get up and take them outside to try to calm/quiet them, or ask for a doggy bag and take the kid and meal home… they just sat there ruining everyone’s meal while their kid howled and threw a tantrum at ear deafening volumes.

There was a time you took the kid outside to try to calm them and if that didn’t work you took the kid and your meal home out of common decency to those around you.

Am I wrong?

My dad is 82 years old. He wanted the NFL Sunday ticket package this year to watch football. He has Rogers/Shaw TV. When I called they said it’s part of the super sports package for $40 a month. I said OK so I subscribed to that for him. But he doesn’t have access to the channel section that is NFL Sunday ticket. It says a subscription is required. Is that cause the NFL Sunday ticket season hasn’t started or something screwed up on the subscription? I assume they broadcast content 365/24/7 don’t they?

This is supposedly the channel listing

I’d get 112 tables for $102CAD. Is 60% off for the steam summer sale.

Worth it or not?

Planning to buy both of these drones. Just wondering what the best and biggest size battery that you can comfortably put in each are. Please provide suggestions, thank you.

I’ve only tried a couple games and compared to C6. I’m finding I’m getting attacked early and often compared to the previous version. Is it just me or is this game currently orientated to militaristic civilizations being highly aggressive compared to the previous C6?

Before I used to be able to put a unit or two in a city and nobody would really bug me. But this one I’m finding there’s a lot more aggression.

Just tried my first game in C7… What’s the deal with Si Thep? Are they always super aggressive? I barely got my second City established and they were freaking attacking me from left right centre with boats and then troops on the ground. It was feeling more like age of empires instead of civilization to the point I got aggravated and abandoned the game ( and I was only on the default difficulty)

As somebody in the Tech industry I never thought of it this way but lol he’s right. This is pretty funny. A little bit of afibrillation humour for you. You have to laugh people. It’s the best medicine.

I’ve been rebooted three times with a cardioversion 🤪

Just watched the opening episode to welcome to Wrexham for the current season last night… I didn’t know we were the only championship club that had not had Premier league experience prior. That’s a pretty important statement I think given how well we did this season. To me that makes me feel like this season was even more of an accomplishment for how close we made it to playoffs. I hope we can build upon this past season and step it up even more next year.
