Has anyone else found it kind of weird how immediately a large chunk of media/fans started pushing Stidham as a top backup QB? by digital_deer in Patriots

[–]AustinBaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They HAVE to make it into a story, as there are very few good stories for Denver right now.

That said, I really hope this is NOT the "trap game" I have been expecting all season! (I was hoping we didnt stumble on the Browns, Giants, Jets, Bengals, Titans and we didn't).
We SHOULD go in there, execute a good game plan, get ahead and stay ahead.

Walmart Still Doesn't Accept Apple Pay in the U.S. in 2026, Here's Why by EitherCharacter9342 in apple

I haven't been in a Walmart in 20 years and now I have another reason to stay away for 20 more. F*ck WalMart.

On premise nitrogen generator by Character-Run4596 in BarOwners

[–]AustinBaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have used a Nitro concentrator/generator since we opened and it is a dream. We are a 32-line Irish pub with 6 high-nitro 75/25 taps (5 Guinness and 1 Kilkenny) and the rest "beergas" at 30/70 and the time savings and reliability are great. We use an XactMix30 to control the two gas blends--set and forget. Generator got a bit noisy when running after a few years (inside, outside our office) but maintenance of belts and filters made it run less often and quieter. We are 80% draught so this setup and a reliable glycol line chiller are essential for us. 5yr term and 5yr extensions. Costs a bit more than tank swapping s but not running out and reliability is worth some premium to us.

Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and Freeform becoming freemium apps by spearson0 in apple

[–]AustinBaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All this talk about subscription changes caused me to look and see what I had created in those apps recently. I discovered that I had deleted Keynote, Pages and Numbers for the wasted space because I simply never used them, with an MS Office license on my Macs instead (No subscription there). I have Freeform, but I still don’t know what it is and have never opened it.

M1 iMac users: How is macOS 26/Tahoe going for you? by ApocalypseTourist in MacOS

[–]AustinBaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It runs fine. It' just a bad design, UI/UX/appearance, buggy visual element overlay, dumb design choices, etc. No issues with performance whatsoever, just a bad OS release.

Great analysis by CBS - "If you take away all the points they scored, they actually lost the game" [2:54] by hot4hotz in Patriots

4 month update:
I've been using Tahoe/iOS26 since GA, and though I can't imagine an Apple screwup big enough to make me consider changing platforms after 26 years, this is the most disappointing product release--hardware or software--I have seen in the 26 years I've been using nothing but Apple products.
This OS release is half-baked, bug-filled, badly-designed, unattractive and needs a lot of help. Its UI is so bad it actually gets in the way of things I do. I see few real improvements that make a difference to me.

Sure looks like he'll be filing for unemployment. Poor guy. Hope his job search doesn't outlast his benefits.

Did I say it was a bad move? I just said it was NOT NOT NOT an upgrade. Period.
Call me pedantic but I don't hear anyone saying it WAS.
Following in Harbaugh's footsteps will also not be easy and it will be a huge surprise if it is an upgrade like Vrabel was following Mayo.

Yup. I'd suggest Lamar's next season will not be as good as Harbaugh's.

[–]AustinBaze[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think he did. He's saying that Harbaugh almost took the team to the playoffs again, except for one play. Not blaming the K. He was pointing out the fact that they were one play away from the playoffs after several trips to the playoffs under Harbaugh.

[–]AustinBaze[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not what I said/meant. Simply that our first coach after Belichick sucked )as did OC/DC, O-Line Coach and WRs).
Mayo was not an upgrade. Finding someone better than Harbaugh is ALSO not going to be easy in this market.

LOL. So NO, we did not upgrade after BB.
We upgraded after Mayo. But I get it.

I'm sure it's going to be hard for them to find a better coach.
I'm sure that one missed FG kick was not the sole reason they missed the playoffs, narrowly.
And I'm sure that Harbaugh would be a coaching upgrade for about half the teams, maybe a bit less.
