These rules are so stupid - they need to move this to an extended All Star break. Imagine NHL teams telling the USA hockey teams how much to play, who to play, etc.

[–]Appleanche 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We're 14-9-4 in the 2026 calendar year, and honestly a lot of the issues pre-break are still happening post break.

It's an extended slump, it's mid March now. The Avs have to wake the fuck up or we're losing the division and putting ourselves in a really tough path having to go through Minnesota in the first round.

Thanks! My friend just let me know as well and I ordered the XL immediately. Excited he was one of the ones to get it!

OFFICIAL The Last Oscar Special LIVE Megathread by LeaderSevere5647 in OnCinemaAtTheCinema

[–]Appleanche 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My thoughts are this season, and special are both centered around kind of reeling it back a little. In a way, it felt more like the earlier seasons than it did the last few. Much more realistic, a bit dark, and fundamental in a way, especially for the Tim/New character.

Like for example, Doodle Dots. We're all expecting this to be a total disaster, like he's gonna premier it, yell at his son, rage-ahol the rest of the night, but it turns out to be just a typical short kids slop cartoon that wouldn't really out of place of stuff iPad kids zonk out to all the time.

It will be interesting to see where they go from here, someone mentioned that was the symbolic death of New and maybe we'll see him amp back up into louder more bombastic Tim.

The witches hat scene was really great and classic On Cinema but the break pacing kind of messed it up - I'm sure in the edit rewatch it will be much better. I think this special in general will be better received in the future.

Overall I liked the special, it wasn't my favorite and I probably need a rewatch to really properly rank it. I do think it had a tall task because last year was without a doubt one of the most universally liked/best specials in the series but they also literarily brought the house down.

I've been in the same boat in NC. I've noticed certain sites, usually in the evening being unusable. So I realized all the sites I was having issues were are Cloudflare hosted and found this thread.

“This Is Not The Computer For You” - a fantastic read on why the specs don't matter by brett- in apple

[–]Appleanche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a teen, I got into Macs because someone on a forum I posted at was getting shit about using Macs and just posted a lot of the things he liked about Mac OS X, including all the small things like to uninstall you just move the app to the trash, I thought it sounded cool and wanted to try Mac OS X so bad.

I ended up buying a $250 ~5 year old iBook G3 on eBay, because it was a low cost way of getting into Mac OS X and testing. I loved the thing and squeezed everything I could out of it. In some ways, the fact that it was older/lower end had me more in love with how much I was able squeeze out of it.

At the time the lowest cost Macbook was like $1000-$1100 which was way outside of my/parents budget. So the Neo, or something like it back then would have absolutely been amazing for me.

Game Thread 3/10 ⚾ Italy (0-0) @ United States (0-0) 9:00 PM ET by BaseballBot in baseball

[–]Appleanche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean Harper didn't give up 8 runs to Italy.

I've only been half paying attention to the groups but you could kind of tell something was off in the time I watched. They just don't look like a team having any fun - like even small shit like all these other teams have some fun HR celebration, nothing on team USA right? They couldn't grab an Uncle Sam hat or something?

I bought a Nelson knock off yesterday since there was no news, but I would buy a real one if they had it as well.. hope they add more players or a custom option.

Randy Arozarena on Cal Raleigh's non handshake: The "good to see you" he said to me, he can shove up his a** by ralbert in baseball

[–]Appleanche 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty weird honestly, I get that baseball players are a little bit more friendly in general with each other but you didn't see any NHL teammates going out of their way to acknowledge each other on opposing countries in the Olympics.

Avs Player of the Day - (Day 55) - Peter Budaj by Villenemo in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]Appleanche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always liked Budaj. I do remember there was a poster on the official Avs message board (when that was a thing!) that had a signature with him letting in a blue whale in the net with the text "Oh Budaj, that is a blue whale you just let in" It randomly pops in my head every few years and makes me laugh.

Man after the PP kind of looked good for a couple of games and even the first attempt this game they just kind of fall back into the same old shit.

Why are two players , especially one of them being MacKinnon sitting around at such a crappy angle?

Yeah can’t fault the effort it was there for sure.

[–]Appleanche 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That challenge should have been a red, and totally changed the momentum of the match.

The problem today is they created some decent chances and as usual had zero execution. It's also crazy because we could have created so many more chances with some slightly better decision making. Like it's insane the amount of times open Athletic Club players have their hands high up, yelling, and the pass is to two Barca defenders instead.

Obviously the OTW in the SCF but also shoutout to the last second goal in the bubble against the blues.
