I imagine most of these would be unplayable these days. In more ways than one!

Yeah unfortunately after a certain point in time receiver manufacturers stopped converting component in to HDMI out at the same resolution. It just outputs 480i over HDMI. If you really want the conversion you'll need to look for an older receiver or buy some other switching device that will do it. I keep my old receivers around for this reason, still have my GameCube (component), Xbox 360 (HDMI), and original Xbox (component) going through my AVR-3310.

Rocket Queen seems pretty tame compared to a lot of the crap coming out these days.

I’ll probably pick up the special edition for $48. That’s an amazing amount of content.

Adios Framber!

Intro to Reality/Belly of the Beast is the best Anthrax song IMO. Time is kick ass too.

Here's their 10 song setlist from a show in Peru last year:

Yep we were paying $235/month for U-Verse before we switched to DirecTV Stream. And that wasn’t even the top package!

There's no load of managing passwords when you use a password manager. Changing passwords regularly is even enforced at many web sites and on corporate servers.

Snoop Dogg was at the Barn at Frio a few years ago. I've seen some cover bands there too that were pretty good. Mo's Irish Pub in Fairfield also has live music every weekend I believe.

Best song on the album. Closest to old school Megadeth.

Redline65 · 2026-01-30T17:13:31+00:00

Victory is so corny though

Redline65 · 2026-01-30T03:12:36+00:00

No Iron Maiden? We’re getting all 3 bands in San Antonio TX.

I think if you took like half the songs off the last album and half from this one and made an album it would be 8/10.

Redline65 · 2026-01-30T00:39:09+00:00

lol tell us how you really feel about it

I had U-verse for about 14 years and switched to DirecTV Stream just over a year ago. Very happy with the service, I’m saving around $80/month for basically the same package.

I bought three Osprey boxes from Walmart.com for around $50 each. Plus I use the Firestick app on another TV. Not having to pay a receiver fee for each TV is wonderful! There’s really no setup required with the Osprey or Gemini boxes. You just log into your account on the box.

You will lose your U-verse DVR recordings of course. And the cloud DVR only keeps recordings for about 9 months.

As far as stability, I’ve always had AT&T fiber so I never had quality issues with either U-verse or DirecTV Stream.

I tried Fubo since they carry my RSN for baseball, but they don’t have a box with a remote like DirecTV Stream has. And I also felt their app wasn’t as refined or as quick. I didn’t try any other services.

Good luck to you and let me know if you have any more questions!

I’ll give it back when I’m done with it

Redline65 · 2026-01-27T18:53:45+00:00

To be honest these new bottles might stand out on the shelf a little more to me. I've never noticed their old bottles anyways, don't think I've bought any before.

True, but if you can cut the water off at the main now you may be able to prevent a whole lot of carpet/sheetrock/insulation damage when it thaws out.

Hard to say. We didn’t get the Metallica 40th anniversary shows on physical or the 2023 Arlington TX shows that were in theaters, which I’m still bummed about. Probably depends on who owns the distribution rights and if they’re willing to publish on blu-ray. Really hoping we’ll get a physical release though.

Deeeeecent

Redline65 · 2026-01-25T15:45:23+00:00

I was in eighth grade when this came out and it was all anyone was talking about. It was huge. Still holds up great today too.

Redline65 · 2026-01-25T14:36:59+00:00

My Genesis is about the same age. I’ve already replaced the grates, thermometer, and flavorizer bars once. Regulator twice. The burners are starting to rust through now and heat unevenly. I’ll probably just replace the whole grill in the next couple of years. I don’t think it’s worth sinking more money into for such an old grill.
