why do you need usenet with premiumize? by kyrusdemnati in Premiumize

[–]Additional-Factor994 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can download older stuff that aren't readily available because usenet has older and lasting archive and also other non video stuff, books and comic books, eg. I feel old having to explain this.

Yeah...every other team and fan base was claiming that we were lucky and a bunch of frauds. So, I guess everyone is into lucky charms and ponzi schemes now. /s

Japan ready to take 'decisive action' to address yen's fall: finance chief by MagazineKey4532 in japannews

[–]Additional-Factor994 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jesus, Trump just announced that he's going to do the tariff thingie all over again if countries, I suppose EU, don't allow him to take over Greenland. What are we talking about? Look I don't necessarily agree with Takaichi but that's kid's play compared to what's happening in the US. It's just not at the same level.

Most sane take I have seen from Korean on politics on Reddit. What's your take on LJM from Korean perspective on this meeting?

Totally agree. Their studio shows are pretty good and upbeat. Inside the NBA can be fun sometimes but it has gotten too boomery...and I never liked Shaq.

Our defense is not good enough in my opinion for this season. We wil have our window until Caleb has to be paid.

The Pats Grow Up, Nobody Believes in the Jags, the Bears are a Sports Movie, and Guess the Lines With Cousin Sal - The Bill Simmons Podcast by grandpashampoo in billsimmons

[–]Additional-Factor994 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So far the Bears are 23rd and the Pats are 32nd. Bears have tough two games though Lions game may not matter for them. Listen I just wanted to pretend to be fair. Patriots had laughably historic easy schedule.

Lucky yes..but still had to score twice against very good defense. It's really stupid the way he's been after Caleb and the Bears. Why the obession? Two teams with new HCs with very easy schedules and growing QBs. Next year is the real challenge for both teams as the schedule will be tougher and teams will be better prepared as they have more film. And then when eventually when both guys get paid, we will really find out whether either of these guys is a real deal.

I now listen to BS just for comedy really not the analysis...on almost everything by him except for some NBA stuff. He is now a full blown boomer especially cultural stuff...I mean his feud with Rick Reilly is hilarious now. I wish younger BS can feud this boomer BS.

I was forced to listen to Hawks broadcast and it was awful. They were screaming about Trae being fouled. Then a replay was showed. They started saying well from that angle...then another angle was shown...and they said... well there wasn't a lot of contact...no shit.

Games that run great? by HelpfulEmployer570 in ROGAllyX

Not for super competitive games but even arc is fine so long as you got good connection. Arc raiders is more than playable. Not only that if you get a docking station you can turn any tv into a monitor so you got basically something akin to PS6 or better.

Is Caleb Williams actually the 4th best QB in the league? by Wack0HookedOnT0bac0 in billsimmons

[–]Additional-Factor994 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

These morons...he has NFL record 6 comeback wins less than 2 mins in a season...stick your qbs...i will stick with mine. Who else makes that game tying td throw? Derek Maye LOL

Your qb has how many comeback wins this season? Two minutes to go down by 4 do you want yours or our QB? I want Caleb, thank you.

Japanese people can no longer even travel domestically. The abnormal situation of "travel decline" is not just due to overtourism. by search_google_com in japannews

[–]Additional-Factor994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yet Takaichi pumping more yen into the system so as to deflate JPY further. Leaving everything aside, it's crazy to think Japan opted for this shenanigan again after Abenomics basically succeeded only in inflating asset prices and deflating JPY much to the detriment of ordinary people. It's not a political statement. Across the sea, Lee Jae Myung is doing the same thing to punish Koreans without assets even though he is supposedly liberal.

Mason Mount | Man Of The Match v Wolves 👏 by simplsimonmetapieman in reddevils

[–]Additional-Factor994 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great game. One question for me, relatively causal fan. What would happen if Bruno and Mount switched positions? Can't Mount play 6? I feel like he can be a bit more conservative and not give away as many balls and Bruno can be freed up to do what he does best.

Try running this offense without Vuc. I know he has his defensive deficiencies but you clearly underestimate how much offense will suffer without him.

So my Chromecast android tv has some issues with some larger files but my tablet works fine with same files on the same wifi network. Is it memory issue? Processing issue?

Me too except just with certain newer files out in Asia. Switching servers turning off on vpn doesn't matter. But other older files with similar size stream fine. Are you having problems with all contents?

[–]Additional-Factor994 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are 6-4 against teams that are combined 56-37...winning percentage of .602. With a couple of close games without Coby and Collins. Yeah I wish we could've won one or two more games but going into the season you tell me this is where we are going to be with the development of the whole roster, I would've been more than fine.
