... to whoever came up with the idea of gambling. We can't be sure who it was, but my bet is on a cro magnon named Og betting someone that they couldn't jump over that new invention, "fire." Without this early pioneer where would we be? Would anyone outside of Kansas City or San Francisco...

I got free Hulu recently (T-Mobile I think) and started looking for shows that I was relatively familiar with (i.e., watched infrequently) and wanted to revisit. Up first: Just Shoot Me This show holds up very well if you ignore some of the stuff that probably wouldn't fly today. But that's...

I've taken the liberty of creating a group for the 2023 ESPN Capital One Bowl Mania contest. The format is against the spread. The group is FFA2024 The password to enter is pointtotheshirt

OK, so the extension I've been using for a long, long time - Enhancer for YouTube - that disabled ads has finally been nixed by YouTube (basically prevents the video from playing unless you disable the extension or pay for YouTube premium). The only surprising thing is how long it took for...

I didn't see a thread for it, so I thought I owe it to the community to highlight the best show of 2023 (hell maybe the 2020s). One Piece is the best first season since Game of Thrones (note that I did not say "I think"; it's a definitive statement and I defy anyone to try and disprove it)...

contexto How to play Find the secret word. You have unlimited guesses. The words were sorted by an artificial intelligence algorithm according to how similar they were to the secret word. After submitting a word, you will see its position. The secret word is number 1. The algorithm analyzed...

that you thought should have made it big, but for whatever reason, didn't. No rules; just looking for things I might have missed over the years. The artist may have only had one release or have been plugging away for years. Critical darlings (e.g., Pavement, Television) or bubblegum pop. The...

Maybe it's just @snogger and me playing this game, but I thought I'd create a separate thread so as to not clog up the Civ 6 discussion. Anyway, óld world is an "historical, epic strategy game from Soren Johnson, Lead Designer of Civilization IV"  It has some similar features but in other ways...

Mine, in alphabetical order (because I really can't rank 'em): Alex DeLarge - A Clockwork Orange (Anthony Burgess) Tyler Durden - Fight Club (Chuck Palahniuk) Huckleberry Finn - Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Mark Twain) Jackson Lamb - Slough House series (Mick Herron) Tyrion Lannister - A...

I did a google search and did not see a topic for this excellent Netflix show.   I saw season 2 was going to be released this past Wednesday so I went back and re-watched season 1 which I thought was excellent upon 1st viewing and was even more impressed on the 2nd go-round.  There was a lot...

@rikishiboy @DCThunder@IvanKaramazov@mon @perry147@Uncle Humuna @Woz @cosjobs @Assani Fisher Draft spreadsheet 3 tabs:  Cheatsheet (not sure why I named it that; it's just a list of my pics), Draft (pick by pick) and Thread post (drafter's picks grouped) Not much I'd change here, although I...

I've got a bunch of old VHS-C tapes I would like to convert to digital (i.e., transfer to my computer for editing) Does anyone have a recommendation for a piece of equipment that will play the tapes (no longer have camcorder) and enable transfer?  I'd like to do this on my own rather than use a...

Will McCaffrey end up playing enough to justify starting? If so, sit Johnson or Williams??? TIA

Albums to look forward to in 2019 Vampire Weekend, Tame Impala (had forgotten about them...), Grimes, My Bloody Valentine, The Raconteurs, Deerhunter For whatever reason, I always seem to like odd years' music better than evens. :shrug:  so expecting a lot of good tunes. Northern Voice...

OK so you're watching Netflix, bingeing even, and the next episode comes up.  You can opt to skip the intro.  Which intros do you never skip? for me Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt heads the list.  Unskippable (they alive, dammit!) Whatcha got?

Certainly the earliest, but is it the best? If you tell someone not to do something, a lot of people are going to go ahead and do it anyway.  And if there's a list of things you can't do, people that might not do anything may choose to do one of the 'lesser evils' instead of murdering someone...

as the guy that left the toilet brush in the bathroom stall at work.

Netflix may be moving to a new, innovative model with respect to how they release their series.  Recently, both Arrested Development and Unbreakable Kimmie Schmidt have released only 1/2 of their series.  Netflix believes this may actually whet viewers appetites as it leaves them wanting more. ...

Just finished watching Babylon Berlin; fantastic show. :thumbup: This is the 2nd great German series I've watched this year ... which brings my lifetime total up to 2.   I won't spoil anything (and if you want to go in blind, careful on the wiki above; character descriptions include some...
