Wiim Ultra! Well, as usual I've procrastinated on buying the Wiim Pro like Mike did (it's still sitting in my Crutchfield cart), and now an improved model with a touchscreen/album art is coming out. Has a good set of inputs on it, and a pretty decent price of $330!

Probably the best video of a tornado's destruction I've ever seen: https://petapixel.com/2024/05/10/dashcam-captures-nebraska-tornado-leveling-large-building/ And, just note, this one was "only" an EF 3! :shocked:

Sorry Pauly, didn't even think about that. :oops:

I'd been watching this show, off and on, since my OP; it's never failed to keep me entertained. Earlier this year I realized this was the last season, Sheldon was graduating and had to select a college, and the series was coming to an end in the next couple weeks; so I've been watching it...

A great article about one of my all-time favorite songs; I really enjoyed reading this: Wichita Lineman

A couple hours earlier my local server went Tango-Uniform and I lost all intranetz. I figured out how to switch my new Bravia onto my old OTA antenna, and was able to pick up a local station, and it was tuned to a very old Godzilla movie, "Godzilla: King of the Monsters", 1957. Was mostly...

Tonight, I watched the last episode of Northern Exposure, before my amazoid prime ran out. Can't say I "binge-watched" it, more like two or three episodes per night. This show impacted me, a bit. I've spent a lot of my life in northern, isolated towns (Grand Forks, Bemidji MN, Waterton CA...

This song just doesn't get played enough. Only Sir Paul could take one of the world's most hideous instruments, and make it SOAR!

Yeah, I'm on Safari/MBP, so that must be the issue. At least on my MBP screen, an HDR video on, say, ewetube's home screen stands out like a sore thumb, and your video above has that same extreme brightness/darkness; hmmm.

Odd, I tried enlarging that video and a Facebook button is right on top, can't hit it without going to FB. Nice HDR! :thumbsup:

^^^ Wow, those were great! Definitely Fountains-of-Wayne/Jellyfish vibes.

Thanks much, Tom. :toast:

Where you been, Dog? Good to see you posting.

A good question and I'd like to tack on a related question: If I play a Dolby Atmos disk (4K) in my 200-series Oppo players, thru a similar 20-yr-old 5.1 speaker system, will it play in 5.1, revert to stereo, or just not play at all? Deets: my Oppos do not feature Atmos nor 4K, nor does my...

A good followup from Caleb, with an interesting history on "how we got here" and his dystopian, "the Oligarchs win again" prediction for the near-future.

omgwtfbbq. The Man In The Brown Shorts™ should be bringing this CD to me tomorrow, but this track just came out on EweTube. It's been a long, long time since I've had tears running down my cheeks. Ho-Lee-Chit Batman! There is another video on the 'tube, 2 hours long, where Jacob...

Yup, they're out there. And I don't know if that's ewetube's decision, or the content creators. "The Late Show with Steven Colbert" also is ad-free (and I love John Oliver!) I also tried something this afternoon with a cooking channel I follow; I opened the video in a separate window...

I voted with my feet, and dropped Prime. I still get free shipping, but there's nothing I need "within two days" (and they often missed that mark anyway). And really only order things from amazoid that I can't find locally anymore. I'm also trying something with Ewetube's algorithm. If a...

Wish this had been performed by a band, rather than a single keyboardist/MIDI track, but damn they mix well together!

When I saw the news last week that wally-world bought out Vizio, I thought, "Great, soon those things will be displaying walmart-specific ads (perhaps a permanent scrolling ad banner at the bottom), with no way of disabling it", and was thinking about starting a thread about it. Caleb just sent...
