re: Movies today don’t even look and feel like “movies” at all
Posted by DeoreDX on 2/6/26 at 2:43 pm to JasonDBlaha
Days of Thunder was on TV the other day. Tuned into it just for background noise. Just your basic 90's popcorn flick. Every time I looked up on the screen I was amazed how beautiful and how much ambiance comes through on screen from the cinematography. I don't know enough about movie making to know why it was different compared to how they make movies today. It was one of those things that struck me was just how much better this movie looks than anything I've seen come out recently.


Until I see a player that can make a 3rd and 1 automatic like Cam did I have a hard time believing that.
I'm curious did we ever get stopped on a 3rd or 4th and short in 2010?

I could be misremembering but Dunk wasn’t approached about fixing the joust(winning) in the books correct?
I certainly don't recall that either but why in the hell would they need to ask someone to WIN on purpose? Dunk has zero reason to be a part of any scheme that requires him to win because he should be trying his hardest to do that on purpose anyways.
re: How many guys here are rocking long hair?
Posted by DeoreDX on 2/2/26 at 11:23 am to StringedInstruments
All the males in my family are bald. Uncle told me if he could grow a full head of hair like me he would never cut it. Somehow that statement turned into a bet between my wife and I that I wouldn't cut my hair in 2023. Won he bet. Now I've spend so much time growing it long I hesitate to cut it again even through I hate having long hair. Had it trimmed once in that time frame but still full length.
Binged it today. Really.enjoyed it. First 5 episodes are great. Petered off a little towards the end for me but for me this has been the first Disney thing I've watched a whole season of since S1 of Mandalorian.
UTs bball arena is strangely very quiet.

This isn't the PGA or real golf. This is a stupid contest to roll the ball through a small hole in a wall. Once it hit the wall and didn't go in I'm fine with them picking it up.
Wife and I did it last year. It was a lot of fun.
Was eating there last Sunday and asked the waitress if they were doing it again. She said they were but this year they aren't taking reservations and are just doing first come first serve. Seems to kill half the vibe of being able to say you have a reservation at Waffle House

this stupid argument again? Brady made Belichick, Brady leaves New England and wins in Tampa the next year.
Maybe you guys are too young to remember Brady's first 4-5 years as a starter but he was good top 10 worthy but wasn't the player throwing up 4k yards and 30 TD's. NE was just really solid top to bottom and would beat yo with great defense and exploit whatever weaknesses you had on D. Brady's SB MVP was a joke in 01 that Defense held the greatest show on turf to just 17 points was the star that day. Did Tom even have 150 yards passing that game?
You need a good QB to win a SB. But a good QB can't do it by himself. Those two made each other. Bill was able to put players on the field in positions to cause matchup problems and Tom was the perfect trigger man to put the ball where it needed to be. But 01, 03, and 04 SB seasons were all on the D.
If I were to guess I imagine they took a corner, and he accelerated out of the corner before they were lined back up with path of the jeep. Then slingshot physics like they were being pulled behind a ski boat took over and they accelerated much faster than the jeep. A slalom skiier typically reaches peak speeds 1.5x's as much as the boat speed. With less friction I imagine the sled could have easily been 2x the speed of the jeep as the riders/rope reached the "bottom" of the pendulum action. That speed would be sideways perpendicular to the direction of the jeep towards the curb. He might have been only doing 10-15mph but slingshot them 20-30 into the curb and tree.

Cloths brands always try to make a "new look" every year to get people to come in and buy new clothes. They know people with low self-esteem who's identity is wrapped around the clothes they buy and wear will chase the new trend. There is a certain sense of nirvana when you reach old man stage and DGAF what other people think about what you are wearing and you can just wear whatever the heck you like and feel comfortable in.
Thought they could throw blank checks and buy a championship but there is a lot of talent out there and you still have to build a good cohesive team and select the right 105.

I definitely have it. Skin crawling sensation that starts at the back of my skull down my neck when I look at those pictures. First time I ever noticed it when I had a pickle spear I bent it like a u and it pushed all the seeds out and gave me that skin crawling sensation. Took my years before I would.even look straight at a pickle spear.
Industry tried to Auto Play after Knight of the 7 Kingdoms. I had never heard of it and noticed it had 4 seasons so I was curious if it was sort a watch. Might give it a chance.
The string in the but crack doesn't look very hygienic. I approve.

What’s so bad about it without giving spoilers?
Sorta dumb far fetched plot points. Supposed to be "Who's the bad guy" and you know almost immediately who it's going to be just because he walked on screen with no other reason to be in the show except to be the bad guy. Many of the action set pieces are far fetched and non-sensical.
re: WTF?!? That was the same actor/actress?!?! (...and we roll on!)

My wife has been watching OG Miami Vice and pretty much every episode I've seen there has been a "WTF that was that actor/actress" moment. A few I remember off the top of my head. And honestly these are just the tip of the iceberg.

There is no legal difference between a European pro and a domestic pro.
People keep saying this but there is an intrinsic difference between a Euro pro and a domestic pro. In Europe most high schools don't have teams. You play for your local club team. If you are identified at the club level as having talent you start moving your way up to higher clubs which puts you into "Professional" clubs at an early age. By 15-16 the most talented players are playing in their local federation and are getting minutes in the lower division pro leagues. So any meaningfully talented player from Europe will have pro league experience by the time they hit college age.
re: Anyone here shop at ALDI?
Posted by DeoreDX on 1/22/26 at 10:17 pm to King of New Orleans
Another staple I'll get from Aldi is their Bronze cut pasta. If you like the Rao's bronze cut dried pasta that's just made from Durham wheat semolina and water. You'll like the Aldi version. So it's $2 v. $3 for the Rao's in a regular grocery store. Again, not worth driving there on its own to save $1 on a package of pasta but if I happen to be by there I'll stop and grab a few things.

No variety and mostly generic house brand items. Quality seems fine to good on the items I've tried. I buy their house brand fairlife milk, dave's killer bread copy, spring mix salad, eggs, and the pain au chocolat whenever I go in. They sometimes have Kimbap in the freezer which is pretty good and I'll buy a couple when I see it. Not my main grocery stop but i'll stop there when I'm nearby and I'm just looking for a quick stop to buy a few things to throw together a meal.
I've gotten some interesting items in the Isle of Shame. My favorite being this ridiculously ugly Sherpa jacket for like $14. I bought it as a joke to annoy the wife with and the mountain bike team I coach uses the same color scheme so I thought the kids might get a kick out of it. I have a very similarly designed North Face jacket and I have to say my Aldi version actually feels higher quality and better built.

No need to flush the coolant. But Antifreeze isn't a forever fluid as there are additives and corrosion inhibitors that eventually break down. IIRC the green stuff is supposed to be changed every 30k miles and the newer long life pink or red stuff every 100k miles. Just drain the radiator and refill it every 1-2 years if on the green stuff or every 3-4 years on the pink/red long life stuff. Should be enough. It doesn't replace all the fluids but does put fresh additives and corrosion inhibitors in the system. Just an example my 4.7L toyota V8 has a total system capacity if around 3.5 gallons of coolant and just the radiator holds about 2-2.5 gallons. Do just a radiator drain usually gets you about 60% new coolant. But my Toyota requires a new timing belt every 100k miles which necessitates a drain and fill so I don't necessarily do just a coolant job on my Sequoia because it will happen in the course of other maintenance items.
