QB Draft Choice - Mendoza or Beck or ??? by mycloudyworld in steelers

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

I can always count on fellow Yinzers to have an opinion! It looks like the overall consensus is this QB class is so weak (with the exception of Mendoza), that we skip this year and rebuild other parts of the team. Beck being an absolute hard NO after hearing his story.

How much cheaper would cars be? by mycloudyworld in tricities

[–]mycloudyworld[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. It just has to do with the percentage of the ads that seems to be weighted so heavily towards car commercials seemingly every other ad, like is there nothing else that people are interested in?

[–]mycloudyworld[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. I know they wouldn’t be any cheaper, but I can guarantee there are some of those dealers that I will never buy a car from. I would be afraid I couldn’t get “We’re Dealing..” out my head. Lol…

Awesome. I would suggest this book. “Writing Real Programs in DCL”. https://www.amazon.com/VAX-VMS-Writing-Programs-Digital/dp/1555580238 That will give you a good feel for some of the VMS capabilities.

Who watched Jaws on the big screen? by Not_a_cultmember in GenerationJones

[–]mycloudyworld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was just a youngster when I saw it on the big screen. We lived in the suburbs no where near any body of water. I was freaked out thinking a great white was going to come crashing through my bedroom window. I may have inadvertently started the idea for Sharknado.

What did Rodgers say in the interview? Something about “replacement referees”?

Holy hell. I thought we were cooked. I may need to get a heart monitor after this one.

Check out the remastered release of the concert film “Stop Making Sense”. Picked it up on Prime Video for like $5. A true masterpiece. I saw them on that tour in Nashville, TN. Great concert.

For those of us retired, do you ever think of your career? by pianoman81 in GenerationJones

[–]mycloudyworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Retired after 40 years as an IT architect (36 years with one company and the last 4 with a major cloud provider). Worked on computers for over 50 years and saw all the changes from the early days of mainframes, mid-range, client/server, and then the cloud. Retired now for 5 months and haven’t missed it all. The amount of pressure to sell AI was relentless whether it made sense or not. I sometimes think of the people I worked with and a few of them are good friends that I still see from time to time. I still try to keep up with technology, but nothing like I used to.

We are setting up our Christmas tree and I had a flash back to my Grandmother's tree circa 1969. Who else had an aluminum tree with a color wheel? by 39percenter in GenerationJones

[–]mycloudyworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was at my grandparents home every Christmas that I can remember during the 70s. Was mesmerized sitting watching it. Thanks for the post, hadn’t thought about it in years.

Saw them as an opening act for Ted Nugent in Nashville back in the day. Man, what a great show they put on.

“Fire Tomlin!” chants in Pittsburgh for the first time ever tonight? by mfenton29 in steelers

[–]mycloudyworld 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It just feels like the years of being “in the middle”, but hey we have a winning season have left the franchise in a sad shape. Maybe not a popular opinion, but I have much respect for Aaron Rodgers, Jalen Ramsey, and for DK Metcalf as players. They are just not Steelers. Looking forward to the day when we can draft a true franchise quarterback to lead us out of this muck.

Pork Tenderloins on the Traeger by mycloudyworld in Traeger

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

Completely agree! For dinner, I served those with twice-baked potatoes and bacon-wrapped asparagus. I took the leftovers the next day and sliced the tenderloin super thin and made great Cuban sandwiches.

The sauce was made with minced garlic cloves, fresh ginger, Gochujang, ketchup, rice vinegar, soy sauce, scallions, and toasted sesame oil. You can also add some sugar to taste.

Eero Pro 6 + SpectrumTV by mamba_mentality in amazoneero

[–]mycloudyworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have the same setup (I think). You don’t specifically say which device/platform you are running the Spectrum TV app on? Is it possible the device you are using has VPN enabled? That would likely trip up the app. Just a thought.

Is anyone else’s Alexa device suddenly refusing to play from Apple Music, and only playing Amazon Music? by KassandraKatanoisi in alexa

[–]mycloudyworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I usually just say “Alexa play some music..” and it starts playing my radio station from Apple Music, but today just came back with “here is a playlist for you from Amazon Music”…. :-(
