The Anything Thread

This new DVR I picked up from Time Warner today ain't too shabby. Granted, my old DVR had been in this house since 2010 so to say it was outdated like hell is an understatement. Could only hold 75 hours of HD recordings and could only record two channels at once.

The new box I picked up today, this "Enhanced DVR" that Time Warner has been promoting, 150 hours of HD recordings and can record up to 6 channels at the same time.

It's nice being able to actually use the TWC TV app now to its full potential. Using DVR Manager on the app, I can pull up my recordings on my phone, set individual and series recordings from my phone, go through the TV guide on the app and use that to set recordings, delete recordings, select already recorded shows and play them on my TV via the phone app.

Christ I've been missing out on a ton of shit with that outdated piece of crap DVR I had for the past 5 years. Time Warner needs to start sending people emails or something whenever newer and better equipment comes out. I would have never found out about this DVR if I hadn't needed to replace my modem yesterday (unless I actually paid attention during a TWC commercial).

Speaking of modems, how long do they last? For the past few months I have had a lot of dropped internet signals. My equipment is good but the only thing showing it's age is the modem.

I had mine since 2010/2011, when I switched to Roadrunner. Only lately has it been having issues with the internet going out for hours at a time in the past 6 months or so. Finally got tired of it when it dropped two days in a row this weekend and went and switched it out for a new and better model one.

The old DVR you have would be considered the future of technology compared to what we have. We can record ONE show and it is not capable of allowing you to watch another show on the TV while it is recording. I had VCR's with better features.

Damn, what's your DVR, a potato? :D

I thought it was bad enough I could only record one show while watching live TV and unable to watch live TV if I recorded two at the same time.

It is a PITA. Having two or more shows to record in a day is like a puzzle. Record Network shows first, due to lack of a repeat. Then go to cable shows. If multiple shows air at the same time, pick favorite and hope the repeat airing of the other is available. If two repeats fill the same time slot, sigh and keep looking. When all else fails, purchase episode from Amazon. This is a pretty small town cable service. At one point last fall I had 5 shows that aired on the same day. Spent less time solving the rubix cube.

I solved/avoided all that dvr crap when I cut cable off in 2005. If it is not on Netflix I don't even give it a chance.

Delete, sorry.

Wanted to post this somewhere that would give it more exposure than the MLB thread. This shit is terrible. If I put the appropriate number of face palms, I would crash the servers.

ram, rejoice!

The hell did I just visit?

Don't we have a thread for stories of terrible parenting?

http://m.daytondailynews.com/news/ne...ularheadlines5

Oh those wacky progressives, up to their typical shenanigans. The request to place names of select fallen military members on the back of their uniforms. DENIED!

http://usatodayhss.com/2015/fossil-r...ack-of-jerseys

Things of note:

Quote:

---

Fossil Ridge players had requested the school outfit the team with camouflage uniforms this season. Coach Brian Tinker required his team to undergo military training and education, including CrossFit activities and a rock walk. In addition, every player was required to research the family and background of a deceased member of the armed forces.

The uniforms will be worn on military appreciation night Oct. 15 vs. Legacy. They were purchased by the booster club.

---

It's the US Military for cripes sake, how can you not make an exception?

While not listed in this article the district most definitely allows pink to be worn not only on October but has allowed all pink uniforms for girls teams in the past.

But there is also this doozy.

Quote:

---

CHSAA permits the names of corporate sponsors to appear on high school athletic uniforms.

:fp:

In the districts official statement they added:

Quote:

---

policy regarding this matter is intended to protect students from being used for promotional purposes.

---

Unless it is a corporate sponsor or something pink.

:fp::fp:

If anyone can figure out what www.suffieldtimes.com is trying to be, and why their articles appear to be foreign language articles translated back into English, I'd appreciate the enlightenment. They're entertainingly terrible.

They are. I watched a weekly Corpus Christi Hooks show a few weeks ago and they said the Hooks will be wearing 90s Nickelodeon (sp?) Jerseys for their home finale. :fp:

So I was watching TV tonight and they kept showing this Toaster Strudel commercial with a young girl licking icing and getting it all over her face. The voice-over "Mom" says, "happiness before cleanliness".

You've gone way to far, Pillsbury, you sick fucks.

Again, ram rejoice!

I saw a while back a few other ones. The minor leagues are really getting into it.
There was one called the Pharaohs or something?

https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...&iact=c&ictx=1

Went to a minor league game 20 minutes from home. It's the lowest singe A class. Guys just out of high school and college. 5$ parking 10$ ticket. Could have paid for a 12 or 20$ one but nah.
Vaught 2 hotdogs,peanuts, one beer for 13$.
SF Giants affiliate, the Keizer Volcanos.
It was like watching little league on steroids. One fat kid hit a homer. But you really can't tell who's good yet.
it's llike a 40 game 3 months league. Last season home game is Thursday and I may as well go. The local trailblazers station broadcasts other minor league games near by. It's something to do at least...

You can't tell who's good because the script of their careers hasn't been completed yet. Fat guy home run is so overplayed. Come on writers!

You in Oregon?

And for anyone on the fence about the term, "Liberalism is a mental disease." I present...

apparently Oregon has more strip clubs than any other State in America. Being that it's Oregon, I doubt there's enough good looking women per square mile involved.
No BD, I haven't gone yet and asked a girl to wear socks for me. I don't have a foot fetish in the first place
