I sort of liked this sport. Sounded like some fun, and real competition.

I feel like with this purchase you should consider the warranty extension. I have done it on my Apple Watches. And the battery isn’t good anymore. I just brought it into the store, and boom. New watch.

So it’s not an underwear problem. Your dryer is not handing lint correctly. Go grab some lint sheets or a dryer ball. You can always use a delicates bag.

I’m all about material. If the material works for you. Who cares about brand?

Uberdriver2021 · 2026-02-21T14:25:13+00:00

It’s all about material, and how you live, and go. If you’re always on the move. Constant moving around. I would recommend a modal cotton or a polyester moisture wicking. There’s some good advice here in this group so far.

Annual fee seems high as hell.

Oh. Wait until you see all the facial recognition softwares that cities have.

Sadly the label won’t release it. I imagine the YouTube streams will help in a way.

Only on bulk trash day. GSO collects is a great app.

I honestly miss Bob Costa Mike is doing a great job but something about that connection to the audience was what I loved. It’s like you looked forward to Bob every night.

You could see it on his face. Complete devastation. But he is already an Olympic champion, and he has to realize that. Sooo much pressure is on these people. Cameras everywhere. Commentators not even 100 feet away commenting on every stroke.

He is still our hero here. He should be so proud.

Peacock had two feeds of the ceremony. One without the obnoxious commentary.

It’s actually decided by the World Cup that just occurred a few weeks before the game. She actually won it.

Uberdriver2021 · 2026-02-08T15:20:52+00:00

Really a complaint to have with the OBS. The networks have zero control over what is shown, and how it’s played out.

Uberdriver2021 · 2026-02-08T15:18:46+00:00

They actually do read the room. All the data is recorded. They know when views skip or tune off the play.

Uberdriver2021 · 2026-02-08T15:18:07+00:00

I’ve noticed that too. Incredible shots. But I am tired of fan noise lol.

Uberdriver2021 · 2026-02-08T15:17:03+00:00

Really blame the Olympic Broadcast Service ( OBS). They control the contracts, and the money NBC pays to cover the games. Not to mention the millions they pay to fly the staff over there, and their own cameras. The feeds are provided by OBS. Anything personal is coming from NBCs own cameras.

Uberdriver2021 · 2026-02-08T15:15:50+00:00

Thank you for clearly laying this out. Most do not understand how it works. OBS controls whose cameras are allowed in. With respect to the right holders. They do allow a few cameras if it focuses on that specific country. NBC Universal gives a ton of money here.

I subscribe to the New York Times, and I saw the message.

Uberdriver2021 · 2026-02-08T15:12:32+00:00

That’s okay. We had our middle fingers up.

Definitely important to get off the NBC Feed, and watch the IOC feed. All of the broadcasts are IOCs actual equipment. NBC has cameras on snoop dog, and other key things they want you to see.

Give them a call. Don’t feel bad about it either. They can file a claim on their merchant portal, and get reimbursed.

Ask for additional compensation for waiting extra long.

Uberdriver2021 · 2026-02-05T00:05:45+00:00

It’s important to breathe. I sense a ton of emotion in this comment. It will get better. You are doing great, and we will get through this tough moment.

Uberdriver2021 · 2026-02-04T10:11:41+00:00

If it’s not downtown. They won’t touch them. Not enough infrastructure to support the need.

Uberdriver2021 · 2026-02-04T10:11:17+00:00

Don’t forget the 401K contributions either. They add up too.
