Red zone is still a thing.

I tried to be the good guy last year. I paid for Sunday ticket so I could watch all the games. Then the playoffs come, and they put a fucking playoff game on fucking Peacock that was exclusive to Peacock. NBC wouldn’t even air it on the local affiliate. The playoffs have always been on network TV to get maximum viewing, and now they put it behind a walled garden on the worst streaming service. Fuck them. I cancelled my Sunday Ticket and will never give them another dime. I know /knew how to pirate, but again, I was trying to follow the rules, and they fucked me. Now it’s back to the seven seas.

It’s supposed to be scaled as a percentage of income / net worth. Whether that’s true in practice however is debatable

I used to have a Miracast dongle and it worked like a champ. No wifi needed and it did exactly what I wanted. I always thought it was cool, but it never really caught on. Android killed off support a few years ago. You can still use it with Windows, but I mostly use a Chromecast now for convenience.

Never have I ever eaten lobster

I replaced my mom’s can lights with LEDs and I was an early adopter. I believe it was ~2012-15 ish. Not a single one has died. The only reason any of them fail now is poor quality and / or planned obsolescence. The tech itself is solid AF. I had some bulbs I got from IKEA for $1. Those have failed countless times.

Gavin newsome can fuck right off. First to approve speed cameras in the state and now this.

LMAO. I didn’t remember that name but I had a feeling I knew who it was. This guy’s arm stayed on though

I think this is a common thing with boy scouts. We happened upon an accident in between stations at camp. A kid ran up and tells us his dad crashed his car and he needed help. There was a man who was laying in front of the truck on the ground. His arm was bleeding profusely. We needed to administer first aid. The guy had a bunch of blood all over his arm and he was acting all incoherent. We decided to Jerry rig a tourniquet to stop the bleeding and send someone up the road to find a phone (pre cell phone days) The whole experience was super traumatic. All staged. Fuckers. They even had a pump shooting out fake blood from the guys arm.

I set up Amazon Echo buds recently. I have no desire to use any of the Alexa crap on them and just wanted cheap, decent noise cancelling Bluetooth earbuds on prime day. You apparently can’t set them up without the Alexa app and like all the permissions. I downloaded it on an old phone that’s practically blank, set up the buds, and deleted the app. Once it’s set up you can use like regular Bluetooth earbuds. They wanted location all the time and a few others (microphone maybe?). Selecting only allow this time wouldn’t even work. I get it Bezos, u want my data, but fuck off u aren’t getting it.

Read the title as Mike Incel, now that’s gonna be a thing in my brain.

But he has no shirt. It’s so funny because all the other comedians wear shirts.

Brb heading to Florida for… A thing

Elon bought it for a reason

My mom’s TV had that. Absolutely infuriating. I want my TV to play the signal it gets, not try to “fix” it.

Lol, owned by Google. Kinda defeats OP’s purpose

hundreds

I do not give 2 shits about people speaking foreign languages out in the ether for the most part. Having said that, there are 2 instances I can think of that grind my gears.

1. You order an Uber, and the guy who’s driving is on the phone with someone, and is speaking another language with them the whole time. This is more just for the fact that this is shitty customer service for someone who works on tips to an extent. For whatever reason, this seems to only be an issue with foreign speaking people. My guess is maybe they’re talking to family back home? I certainly don’t tip those people who are doing it, but I don’t care enough to call them out on it either.

2. As a poker player, they have rules about speaking English only at the table. This prevents collusion. I will absolutely call people out for English only at the table especially when there is a live hand going on.

Yeah, but the op was talking about worrying about people on the plane stealing from his bag in the overhead bin, not the TSA stealing from it. But yeah, TSA is grimy AF, I always make sure to count my money before and after I put my wallet through the security line. I also wouldn’t trust valuables in a checked bag as well.
