Anyone else having issues with Cox internet in BR area?


Yes. Not a complete loss of service, but very slow speeds. Is this what you are experiencing?

ESPN was great for the majors simply because of ESPN+


Its the same way now, except with the small caveat (sarcasm) of them wanting $30 for ESPN Unlimited. So darn annoying.

I dont mind golic sr. Esp compared to what is on espns airwaves these days.
Dont care for golic jr too much. But I’ll certainly take him over a lot of the ones on espn radio currently.

re: Toy Story 5 was pretty good

Saw it this morning. I was waiting to scan this thread until after I saw it for obvious reasons. I'm glad I waited as I would have gone in with high hopes. I'm surprised that so many liked it as much as they did. It certainly wasn't a bad movie. Just very forgettable. Could've been condensed to one of those 30 minute shorts they do every so often. Too much woe is me Bonnie, 8 year olds aren't that catty (they do get that way later), not enough of the other toys and main gripe is it was centered around Jessie. In fairness to the movie, I have never cared for Jessie very much. Her voice alone irritates me.

Anyway, I wish it would've been a more 'fun' movie. Maybe 6 will be.
This article is very short sighted. The next Bluey, or Peppa Pig or whatever hit show in the future will have only AI voices so there aren’t any issues with stealing/using a persons voice because a person was never used in the first place.

Grabbed the "pro" from Costco over the weekend


That's the one i got as well.
I just got a 85" TCL Qm6k this past weekend. Obviously haven't had much time with it yet, but so far so good.
I get 'cheap' TVs as I don't appreciate the higher end ones enough to justify spending that much more. To me, the low end TVs of today are pretty darn incredible. If the blacks aren't perfect or the colors don't pop enough, I don't really care enough to spend that much more.
I had a Hisense before. It was fine too, but the biggest thing on it was its processor was very slow. Switching inputs, navigating menus, etc it would be laggy. The TCL seems to be better in that regard.
Its been way, way better around Bluebonnet and Siegen the last few weeks.
Less homeless/druggies wandering around like zombies and begging for money at intersections.
It’s mainly due to the reasons there are so many charter and private schools. BR just likes to show off how wonderful their infrastructure is and can handle all of those extra cars and busses criss crossing the city.
Changing the amount of points a goal is worth does not change the fact that soccer is boring for most of the match. And that is why most americans dont care for soccer. There is no doubt that a goal or attempted goal is exciting, but there is just so much ‘down time’ during a soccer match which is boring.
Football, there are all kinds of exciting plays that happen throughout. Even when there are no points scored. Thats why it’s a bad comparison to football. Has nothing to do with the scoring system.

meanwhile the methodist church has women gays leading sermons talking about how Jesus would be pro-abortion. How anyone could profess to be a Christian but then follow the Methodist church is beyond me.


On a related note, my church recently installed a liberal woman pastor. What’s a good, conservative church in the bluebonnet/jefferson area in br? Don’t care what denomination.
Its kind of amazing that we have let a small sector of our society ruin so many cities. What a bunch of cowards we all are.

She’s amazing. To hit the ball with as much force as she does at 18 and to be so little is quite remarkable.

Osakas power is incredible. She doesn’t move super great but when she’s on, still so hard to beat.

You won't notice a thing. We'll still provide the great service that you are used to! (Don't pay attention to your bills doubling. Just a minor thing.)
What will be interesting to see is when all of the white collar jobs are gone, so everyone is going the trades route. The shortage of tradesmen will all of sudden not be a problem and will even have a surplus which will drive wages down.

Mike Rowe hasn't worked a trade job for a LIVING in his whole life. An opera singer turned tv host turned paid shill by big construction.

You think he is doing all that because he's altruistic?


This response is like the idiots who say that the reporter can't give his/her thoughts on a player in the NFL because they never played in the NFL.
How are things looking tonight?

I haven't been following this story too closey, and others I'm sure have mentioned this, but what did the Titans know? Maybe Vrabel was fired only partially due to wins and losses.
Had the one in my 2018 f150 go out recently. Bought one off of amazon and changed it out myself. Was pretty easy. The little tools to pry the pieces of the dash to get to thr apim help.
