    2023-2024 NFL Season

    As a Steelers fan, I do hope that Fields works out and becomes a great "buy low" find. I have no idea how the new offensive coordinator will work out, but anyone is better than Matt Canada. We'll have to see how the receiving corp shapes up, as Dionte "slippery hands" Johnson was traded away...

    2023-2024 NFL Season

    Personally, I am not that high on Fields. I think he's a backup QB at best. Hopefully I am wrong on that, or at least Wilson can find his game again in Pittsburgh. However, if neither works out, at least the Steelers haven't wasted any assets or money on the attempt. I don't think Pickett was...

    2023-2024 NFL Season

    Pickett was traded because he was a problem in the locker room. Late last season, when healthy enough to do so, he refused to dress as Rudolph's backup for a game. Then, after initially saying he was okay with competing with Wilson for the starting job, he started to whine about the acquisition...

    ***Official 1st HTF Western Movies/TV Shows Challenge 2024***

    I was able to get in two more spaghetti westerns. These will definitely be the final two that I will be able to watch from my physical disc library. I have five more that I will not be able to get to. Anything from this point on will be streamed from my digital library. 12. Texas, Adios 1966...

    Apple TV+ Apple TV+ Ad-Supported Tier In Works

    While I agree with you, Josh, I do think you are showing your age regarding how services are added and removed by cable companies these days. It has to be rare for a company to send a technician out "to the pole" to add or remove a subscription. This is all done centrally now, except maybe by a...

    Apple TV+ Apple TV+ Ad-Supported Tier In Works

    I just canceled my ESPN+ subscription, effective on the 18th. That will leave us with just ad-supported Peacock (free with our Comcast Internet account), ad-supported Paramount+ (got for $18 for a year, and will not renew in September), and Amazon Prime (which we have for benefits other than...

    I had time for one more spaghetti western from my disc library this evening. 11. The Big Gundown (Grindhouse Releasing Blu-ray) Lee Van Cleef plays John Corbett, the best bounty hunter in the territory, and Tomas Milian plays Cuchillo, a Mexican outlaw, accused of raping and killing a 12 year...

    I haven't had time to post, so I am catching up. My time will be limited the 2nd half of the month, and I will not have access to my disc library then, either. Anything I watch from now until the end of the month will have to come from my digital library. I decided to concentrate on spaghetti...

    Finally upgraded my camera strap

    I saw those lens changing adapters for the Capture 3 when watching the video on their site. That's a clever use for the device, but probably not something I would use based on how I shoot. I bought the Capture for a few different uses: (1) For times I want to carry two bodies. I don't really...

    Finally upgraded my camera strap

    I came across this post of mine from 2018 as I was about to discuss my latest purchase, a Peak Design Capture ver 3. As I was trying out the Capture, I started looking at Peak Design's straps, as they look like they would work better with it than my current Black Rapid shoulder straps. I didn't...

    Never doubt the power of a DSLR for movies again

    That's not a feature that would get me to upgrade my existing camera bodies. It doesn't do much for what I shoot.

    General Discussion Caleb D: The cord cutting dream is officially over

    We do on some evenings. Other times there may be something on that only one of us wants to watch - - a sporting event in my case, some TV program in hers. At those times, we each do our own thing.

    General Discussion Caleb D: The cord cutting dream is officially over

    I know this wasn't directed at me, but my wife mostly watches traditional cable TV shows, including a lot of stuff on HGTV. That is one of the reasons we have YouTube TV - - with the other being that my traditional TV viewing is almost exclusively live sports. We can both do without the other...

    General Discussion Caleb D: The cord cutting dream is officially over

    A re-subscription fee just means that I will be less likely to re-subscribe to the service in the future. Like @Robert Crawford , I am becoming less and less likely to subscribe to most of these services due to the amount of purchased content in my physical disc and digital libraries. We...

    Affordable (Bose?) Center Speaker recommendation for Denon AVR 4800?

    Quite a few years ago I bought 2 pair of JBL Northridge N24 bookshelf speakers for our basement recreation room for a music-only application. Back then they cost me about $50 each, and they sound great for the money. It appears there is a matching center speaker called an N-Center. You should be...

    Affordable (Bose?) Center Speaker recommendation for Denon AVR 4800?

    Many years ago (probably 30+ years) I tried a Bose VCS 10 center speaker in an attempt to match some old Bose 601 tower speakers. The speaker sounded like it was shoved in a burlap sack -- a muddy, awful mess. I would suggest looking at another brand.

    A price of $250 per week is outrageous. We pay about $25 per cut (have about 1/3rd acre) and have been using this company for over 25 years. The lawn gets cut once per week. A lot of our neighbors use another company that is much more expensive, but still about $38 per cut. Our autumn clean up...

    DVD Profiler 4.0.0 is out.

    This probably will not help (other than as sympathy), but I have never been able to get the desktop and Android phone versions of DVD Profiler to synch properly. In my case, no matter which quality setting I use, I cannot get all the cover art images to transfer to the phone if I transfer...

    DVD Profiler 4.0.0 is out.

    I am still seeing a couple of issues, but they are not preventing me from using the application: 1. The app wanted to do a profile refresh today when I loaded it. When that starts, the process pauses, and there is an error dialog box that is buried behind the main pop-up dialog box. Pressing...
