The AFC North is about the most interesting division in football, this year.
May you play in an interesting division...is not an ancient Chinese curse, but it could be.
The NFL is strange, there are so few games that after each game over reaction occurs.
Start of the year
NO stomps GB and people are writing off GB
Rams beat TB and they are claimed as the best team in the NFL
The next week the Cardinals beat the Rams and now they are considered the best team.
Then GB (that was written off after the disastrous first game) beat the Cardinals.
So go figure, lol
Any given Sunday...
Playing a 'best of seven' series for the championship would be a better judge of which team is better, except that injuries are so common that by the last game it wouldn't be the same team that was fielded for the first game.
Holy crap, best of seven. lol
Yeah, one game a day for seven straight days. Why not? They are suppose to be tough guys. My parents walked 10 miles uphill, barefoot, in a snow storm everyday just to go to school.
Actually I like it being one game. Anything can happen and anyone can win one game.
Well, every political candidate I voted for today (mayor, city council member, municipal judge) is losing big time.
5 0f the 6 judges (all corrupt as ****) up for re-election are running unopposed.
And the downright idiotic anti-police ballot issue that I voted against is winning by almost 60-40%.
I love my city. I just wish it still loved me back. :(
Here's a fun fact. I've never voted for a president, senator, or representative who has won, though I have voted for a governor who has won (once).
Then again it is hard for a party that historically gets 1-3% of the vote to win.
Most of the ones I voted for lost, as well. In some of the races, I really didn't care. Both candidates looked pretty good, to me, so it's no big deal. We managed to elect a wacko to the school board, though.Quote:

Yeah that seems even more true the last couple of years.Quote:

Henry is out for the Titans. Where does that leave them? Be interesting to see if they can win without him but you would have to think that's a fatal blow for this year.
Then there's this *******, Henry Ruggs for the Raiders that was driving 150mph drunk and rear ended another car on Tuesday. The driver of the car he hit died. The Raiders have released him.
Things can change quickly.
Edit: Sorry I had no idea that word wasn't acceptable.

You posted?
:O I posted!
The post race lives!
I was going to say that six asterisks is acceptable, but seven is right out.Quote:

So, whatever that word was....don't say it again, cause you killed the site.
It wasn't even a swear word.Quote:

Note how that pun was, itself, in keeping with itself and therefore fit the requirements of the post race.
So "half" is OK but not "jack".Quote:

Still, I'm surprised that word got censored. I thought up two other seven letter words that are clearly not allowed, but that one is a surprise. It's not the weirdest thing the automatic censor deletes, but it's an odd one.
Perhaps it's that the word is no longer commonly used for the animal? I believe it was in much more common usage in the 1800's.
I'm not so sure about that. We've always used jäckass, though I'm sure that is just anecdotal evidence. In fact, I remember growing up thinking that donkey was a term used outside of the US until I watched the movie Shrek.
Perhaps it's a regional thing? I've always thought it was used more in the west, but I have no idea why I think that.
It’s the 4th quarter during the LSU vs Alabama game and I’m starting to get that nervous optimism.
The Alabama kicker missed a FG and a PAT, we’ve seen that story before where Saban at Alabama has lost because of special teams.
But this is Alabama and LSU is a .500 team this year, so it’s a VERY nervous optimism.
And we’re down 9 (or 10) starters on defense.
We’ll, we gave ourselves a shot and just came up short. Can’t ask for more.
Yeah you can, you just didn't get more.
People around here were a bit despondent about the chances Boise State had against 23rd ranked Fresno St.....but they ended up demolishing them. I have no idea why. Boise was only 4-4 going into the game, and they've lost to some mediocre teams, but they've now beaten two of the best they've played.
Amazing what you find while cleaning out an old office...
Ethernet 802.3!
10Base2 - cheapernet - BNC over coax
Need pliers for that on/off switch!
I remember using that stuff. It kind of sucked even at the time.
Oh my. I grew up on coaxial cables. Even to this day, I sometimes feel like modern Cat5/6 Cable are not "real" network cables because of how deep an impression was made on me in my youth.Quote:

Are you trying to coax a reply out of us?
Well, I'd say that you shouldn't be brought up on JUST cables. They are likely to make a deep impression that way, but a well balanced diet is certainly superior.
lol ;)
For ages I've always wanted to try Epic Games Unreal Engine on Windows, but I could never could get their launcher to connect to their servers to download it. So now as an experiment, I've just finished installing the Linux version of Unreal Engine on Ubuntu, but in a virtual machine.
I don't expect it to work in a virtual machine, plus my computer is too damn old.
Unreal took over 6 hours to install!
OMG! Unreal Engine's editor is loading in a virtual machine on my crappy machine!
It's in it's first run, so it's taking a while for it to compile it's shaders. Hopefully it doesn't have to go through this long process everytime I launch it. If UE doesn't run choppy, but has to go through this long process to load in Linux, I'll have it preload in the background when I log into Ubuntu.
As I understand it, the Unreal Engine is pretty heavy. You need a good strong modern PC to run it. I played a lot of Unreal games in my life and they were all taxing to the PCs I had at the time. The single player Unreal 2 was always my favorite though. I feel like giving it a run now that I've mentioned it.
Yeah, it's pretty heavy! While it was compiling, Ubuntu locked up. So I took a snapshot of where Unreal was in the loading process, powered the virtual machine off, and gave it up to 12GB of Ram to complete the loading process after I restored it where it left off.Quote:

Wouldn't it be more logical to get a Vulkan driver?
The most logical.
After all, you DO want your virtual machine to live long and prosper.
Apparently GIFs don't animate on this board anymore?
It looks like it added it as a jpg.
That's okay, it's the post race: Stuff doesn't have to make any sense to be valid.
I couldn't pass through my Unbuntu virtual machine to the GPU, so I was left with 4 cores, 8GB's ram I gave it, and OpenGL to get Unreal Engine to run, but it was dirt slow! I tried before to install Unreal on my host system, but I can't get the Epic Games Launcher to connect to their servers to download it, even after applying all fixes that should've got the Launcher to work! I'm just gonna leave it.Quote:

I hate using an exclamation point after a word that ends in an 'l'. It just doesn't 'pop'. Perhaps if I changed font?
Even the stadium itself is rejecting the new name... :lol:
‘A sign of what’s to come’? Guardians team shop sign falls right after merchandise goes on sale
Yeah, that was such a Cleveland move it's hard to imagine a better one.
