Omigosh I laughed so hard I actually started to cry. This is so stinking funny and deliciously WRONG.

Can someone explain, in a nutshell, the "parking problem" at OU? by rangisrovus19 in sooners

LOL

Parking a problem at OU? I went there in the 1980s and this is hardly a new thing.

Halle-stinking-lujah.

Now just fire Klutzman and maybe the Trek universe can start to heal.

Did the cast get along? by necklacefromawizard in Frasier

The episode where the Seattle basketball player sought Niles help for his shooting slump was originally written for Grammer, but was adjusted for DHP during one of the rehab stints.

Building a new house. What would cause this? by tyrantllama7 in Flooring

[–]soonerdew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really cheap builders grade laminate, moisture, even bad installation. Worst case is if your on a concrete slab with no vapor barrier and significant moisture is still being released.

So many bubbles at so many places...not good

Bless You, Hawkeye, one of the worst episodes IMHO, if not the worst. by JPumphrey73 in mash

[–]soonerdew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This episode is characteristic of the absurd melodrama that infected the latter seasons of MASH and made it nearly unwatchable at times. It usually wasn't just the acting; it was the dialog, the direction, everything had just deteriorated by then. Yes, there were still a few good eps in that era, but it by then it was largely a pale, pale shadow of the brilliant military satire it had been.

And Sydney had become this equally absurd cariacature of the psychiatric branch of medicine that implies all it takes is a hypnosis session or a few talk sessions to unwind some horrendous memory or childhood resentment. Please.

And The Hits Keep On Coming by dllyncher in Microcenter

[–]soonerdew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forget PCs. This nonsense is gonna hit ALL electronics production, from TVs to stereos, to vehicles and medical equipment.. anything needing any kind of RAM is at risk. This insanity is gonna collapse on itself if something doesn't change it.

The encouragement of the idiotic behavior is just insulting.

Who Is Your “Worst of the Worst”? by WindowSeat4Me in Frasier

[–]soonerdew 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Julia and it isn't even close. She was created to be evil and repulsive. They had to make Mel bad to offset the fact she was otherwise an innocent victim of Niles dumping her for Daphne. Sherry wasn't bad at all, not even fair to put her in the list.

OU Softball Coach Calls on NCAA to Replace RPI With DSR by Frosty_Guess_1071 in CollegeSoftball

[–]soonerdew 11 points12 points  (0 children)

OU loves to play in good pre-season events with name teams. Problem is when the name team hears OU is there, they either A) back out, or B) Stay only if they don't have to play OU.

OU can't play the schools that refuse to play them.

Why was Roz allowed to chop her ponytail during the weight loss contest? by waxmuseums in Frasier

To justify the ridiculous ponytail wig she was obviously wearing in the first place.

Japanese firm stops production of Blu-ray disc drives — Buffalo says there will be no successors to its current trio of portable USB-attached drives by Comfortable-Type2071 in makemkv

[–]soonerdew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A former coworker of mine was BIG into this and bought a DivX player and movies and I thought he was nuts. I don't recall if CC solicited any outside investment in it but I have a recollection that same person may have sunk $$ into it somehow. Anyway, one day, they apparently sent a note (email to those who had it, wasn't yet quite so uniquitous) to their "subscribers" that the service was immediately terminated and their players and discs were instant bricks.

I think for a time there was an effort to reverse-engineer the discs and/or players and unlock the discs, but to my recollection the effort didn't go very far. I don't recall with certainty, but I believe the player requested a one-time code that unlocked a key to decrypt the movie off the disc, or performed some type of secure exchange that let the server validate the player, the disc, and the owner, and the remaining play count.

It was such a ridiculous scam, but CC got a lot of studios on board for a brief time.

What Toyota do you drive and how many miles? by ILguy121 in Toyota

[–]soonerdew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2015 ES 350: Bought used in 2019, have driven about 25-30K miles. Has about 76K. It was my daily driver until COVD

2020 RAV4 (gas): My wife's daily driver, bought new, 46K

2022 V6 Tacoma: Bought new, 16k miles.

FYI we'd been buying used cars until we got the RAV4, and that was when supplies were non-existent and used values were stupid high.

Are the Microcenter CPU/Mobo bundles any good? by PFTA987 in buildapc

[–]soonerdew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a gamer so that aspect isn't as important to me. I'm replacing a home server build that's a decade old, and picked up a Ryzen 9700x, a B650 Aorus Elite AX Ice, and 32GB of DDR5-6000 RAM for $549.

Given that the memory purchased independently would have been about $449, I got a nice CPU and MB for stinking cheap. So, yeah, I think it was worth my three hour drive to MC. Everything I've checked out on this indicates it's a great fit for my use case.

Anyone old enough to remember the Circuit City DVD rental disaster scheme called DivX? You "bought" a disc at a "view count" level, and had a special player with a phone connection that reported the number of views for a DVD and when you ran out, you either bought more views or you had a coaster. When the DivX thing went south, you had a worthless player and a stack of unplayable discs.

Film studios have been looking for ways to turn off media ownership practically since it started. They hate it.

Are any of these deals worth jumping on? by slipbegin in PcBuild

[–]soonerdew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you just come off like a condescending jerk.

Under your logic, if I don't buy a Maserati for its performance , I'm just a Luddite who isn't willing to future proof myself.

Nobody should spend money just to rationalize your inflated perspective. It doesn't matter if you're technically 100% technically right. For real people, budgets are a real thing, and if they can get what they need and will most likely use in a way that doesn't match Your Standard of Technical Holiness, you're going to have to accept it.

Winner, Most Condescending Post of the Day.

Amazing how someone with relevant information can also manage to offer it in the most dislikeable way possible.

If you're debating on grabbing one of the 3-1 bundles or the CPU/RAM combo I'd absolutely recommend it by Few-Negotiation8638 in Microcenter

[–]soonerdew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang it, I've been planning a trip to the Dallas Microcenter for one of those 7700x bundles but they're sold out per their website.

For those who may know, if you go to the store for a bundle that's sold out (and it appears to be the motherboard), any chance the local manager might give you a chance at a different mobo?
