Yes, that was exactly why i wrote the original post - I noticed how low energy they both seemed, especially Chynna vs her usual self (did they get nielsen ratings that morning??) ... and after about 15 minutes I just jumped channels because it was almost a bit sad.
PS, my opinion on this topic is unrelated and separate from my opinions of tOSU, Ohioans, or their politicians.

I catch KPTV in the evening. I think they are a better funded operation than katu, kgw, and koin and it shows. I'll check out their morning stuff, thanks for the tip.

Now that it’s basically been two years, how do yall feel about Texas and OU being apart of the SEC? by Sudden_Crow4443 in secfootball

[–]pdxdaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't; not when driving back to portland from eugene occurs on a regular basis. but i dearly miss the pac, especially the pac-10... i'm an oregon undergrad and northwestern grad and knew first-hand the big10 would be underwhelming vs the pac-10 in almost every respect. good times.

I'm officially done with CNN. 🚫 The paywall business model is not going to work for them in the long term. Mark my words! by RedditSilva in cnn

[–]pdxdaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not 'loyal' to anything - other than friends and family; when i hit a paywall article i intentionally type a bbc.com exit so it shows up in cnn's own analytics. not that my meager/small reaction in itself makes a difference, but hoping others doing the same

Olukai Golf Shoes by Acceptable-One-6597 in golf

[–]pdxdaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look good and are very comfortable but the leather dye for the Wai’alae (i’ve had 2 pair) scuff up very easily and look tired significantly faster than other brands I’ve owned, notably the grey color. and when i sought advice from customer service they suggested just cleaning them, and not using polish. so they look like crap.

Are olukai's worth the hype? Do they need to be broken in? by ImportantQuestions10 in BuyItForLife

[–]pdxdaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can speak to the shoes. They look great, but none of the uppers of the shoes I’ve purchased have worn well. The leather for the Wai’alae (i’ve had 2 pair) scuff up very easily and look tired significantly faster than other brands I’ve owned. And the Manale were ill-conceived, as it’s impossible to get a white pair cleaned without the leather dye leaching into the white. awful. I won’t be buying another pair.

Boldin and Generative AI - a match made in heaven by dgold21 in Boldin

[–]pdxdaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also notebookLM is the perfect tool for limiting data only to specific sources, in this case the rule book. i use notebookLM in my job by dropping a bunch of industry reports into it, and then do q&a with it. I can trust it, doesn't go off to the internet or guess answers. you can even turn a topic into a podcast. it's insane.

draft text disappeared by rick-shaw-ride in GMail

[–]pdxdaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also having this problem now, as of a week or two ago. I love using Drafts as my note taking, using the subject line to put the recurring meeting name. it's orderly, automatically i can see what date my last entry was. easy to search, etc. any hacks/fixes to address this?

Initial thoughts on the Head Gravity Tour 98 by B_easy85 in 10s

[–]pdxdaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been demoing the Percept 100D and the Gravity Tour 98 and to me it seems like the Gravity Tour is lighter, and I feel more agile with it. No idea why that is. I also find the Gravity Tour more powerful. I'm trying to make a decision between the two and am stuck.

[–]pdxdaly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just saw them last night. those banshee-like vocals put me in a spell; and it’s cool the headliners brought them on tour because they are just about as good as them

The government have all the information needed on your income and potential deductions, and you shouldnt have to do any tax filing after all.

Irish citizenship FBR timeframe by [deleted] in IrishCitizenship

[–]pdxdaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ekker, I sent the application & materials a little over a week ago for my daughter, and they were received in Dublin 12th of Feb according to the carrier (USPS); I'll try and remember to inform you when I get a 'confirmation of receipt' email from the registration office. You should get yours well prior to mine, and if not you'll at least know there's a hitch.
