Trust the science. You can't beat it. But, you should try.

Wtf does that have to do with the 3003 NBA Finals?

Tell me you didn't watch the 3003 Finals without telling me. Duncan won that championship by himself pretty much.

I love Kobe. As a Spurs fan he owned us multiple times in the playoffs. I'd take him anytime over Lebron. But Duncan is the best player at his position ever and a pretty unarguable top-10 player of all time.

Fine. I did NOT watch the 3003 Finals. Guess what? You haven't either.

Well, the old NES is up and running. Installed a Nin10Drawer unit as a replacement for the 72-pin board. It's like butter.

Upgraded to wireless controllers. No lag.

Upgraded to a dual mono RCA/composite cable running to an AV/HDMI adapter into a 2003-ish Samsung LCD 48"-ish free TV my brother passed on to me.

Works like a dream and looks better than 1985. Mike Tyson is going DOWN.

Trump may take the opportunity to pivot and hit Iran where they aren't expecting. I'm sure they have a contingency plan.

As a diehard, lifelong Royals fan, that's a weak class. Posey and no one else. Not even Wade Davis. Not even close.

Time flies. Surprised several players have even been retired 5 years.

I couldn't tell you 2nd best player on that list.

ETA: without any extra research, I'd put Jon Lester as a distant 2nd.

Fundamentals are terrible. So many uncalled traveling, double-dribble, and carrying violations.

I just recently bought a used, original NES from a local game store. It was guaranteed for 30 days and was supposed to be tested prior to sale. They didn't test it in front of me and I completely forgot to ask. The whole idea of it was kinda sperm-of-the-moment. Picked it up on a Saturday after work.

Got home. It doesn't work. Flashing red light. But, of course. Sigh. Packed it up and was going to take it back. Then I thought, why not refurbish it myself? I tinker on occasion, but DEFINITELY NOT an electronics guy. Maybe I'll learn some things as a side benefit.

Spent the rest of that weekend and this past week watching YouTube cleaning/restoration/modding videos. Ordered some parts, tools, and supplies. Still waiting on some stuff.

Point being, I miss the old days. Being good all year and getting that Atari, NES, and SNES consoles for Christmas. Spending time arguing on who plays next with my lil brother. Then dutifully taking turns or duking it out in 2P mode.

I did as most and graduated to Playstations and Xboxes. I saw thru the years that things seemed to steer away from actually providing FUN to being an obvious money-grab. I get it. They are companies that have to make a profit. But, all of these in-game transactions, DLCs, downloads, etc etc just got old.

I wanna buy a game that I can go home, pop in the console, and PLAY.

So, I'm going to fix a console that will allow me to do so. I want to own my fun.

What was the question?

Please tell me you went to Blockbuster afterwards and rented some movies for the weekend.

If so, what were they?

I'm offended that they, as humans, think they know better about our own lives than we do. They are just people who happen to be in a career that makes them feel important.

Maybe I'm a rockstar in my profession. I'm not going to dismiss your questions because I feel like you can't handle the truth. Especially when you're paying my salary.

Get off your high-horse Congress. If we as an American society are asking questions, it's your fricking job to fricking answer. Either that, or go back to the fricking private sector with the rest of us and stop soaking up our hard-earned money.

FWIW, I like Tim Burchett. Someone just needs to pop the top on all of this shite and rip off the Band-aid.

Worst dentist ever.
