    How are you people in the Northeastern quarter of the country dealing with the heat and humidity more common to the Southeastern quarter?

    Heh. Here in Hotlanta, max temp was "only" about 95 degrees today. I saw on the news this evening that the temperature in Lititz, PA, was 103 degrees. Stuart Varney noted that it was already 93 degrees in New York at 11 AM. I'll take the "hot" weather in the summer for warmth with the early...

    AKB: Is opening your computer and cleaning the dust out of it viable for a civilian?

    I checked the specs for your Ryzen 5700G: https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/ryzen-7-5700g.c2472 It released in April 2021, has 8 cores and 16 threads. It's not a high-level CPU, but it's not bad either. Your computer can't be more than 4 years old unless you bought it right when that CPU...

    AKB: Is opening your computer and cleaning the dust out of it viable for a civilian?

    I try to do this regularly. You wouldn't believe the dust and crud that can build up. Look on Amazon for battery-powered vacuums and blowers that do a good job (as good or better than canned air) and are a bit less forceful, and so more appropriate for delicate electronics. When you blow...

    From the title, I thought the initial post was about Alain Prost. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alain_Prost

    They should rename themselves the New York Gorns.

    RIP - Ted Turner

    What I admire Ted Turner for the most was using satellite technology to give his Channel 17 "Superstation" national reach. He gave the Atlanta Braves a national audience (not saying I'm a huge Braves fan, but I admire how he made them more than just a local team). His later forays into cable...

    FC/OT: New York Times' 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters.

    "Schmaltzy?" Captain Jack and Miami 2017 are "schmaltzy?" Goodnight Saigon is schmaltzy? His omission is especially surprising given the NYT critics weighing in on this - either they didn't have much pull, or commute from Jersey, hence the inclusion of Springsteen. I'm sure Joel is...

    OT: TMB TV/Streaming Shows Club: Thread for streaming/TV show discussion…

    Recently started watching the 12 Monkeys series, currently streaming on Prime. Now into season 2. One of those rare shows that really grabbed me from the outset and made me want to keep watching. Highly recommend. I haven't watched the Bruce Willis movie yet (have never seen it), intend to...

    Confirmation of football underachievement?

    There are only 10 schools on the list with winning records against ranked teams. Arguably, the ones below those top 10 are "second-tier" schools. It does point out that without Oregon and Washington, the B1G would have only one team (OSU) in the top 10. Be interesting to revisit the list in...

    Not the same since Phil Rizzuto, Frank Messer, and Bill White did the calls on WPIX.

    OT: Battle of the Network Stars with Nicollette Sheridan video...

    This one stands out - at least to me. Yes, they certainly do!🤪 Anyone remember an old show in the 1970s, I think it was called "Almost Anything Goes?" It was a really stupid, but relatively entertaining show that typically featured 3 small towns in close proximity that competed in all kinds of...

    FC/OT: Big XII gets in bed with private equity…

    The comments on that Ross Dellinger post are scathing (against private equity) - as they should be.
