Original Title: TIL former Alben Barkley, relegated to the back bench in his return to the Senate, noted in a speech, “I’m glad to sit in the back row, for I would rather be a servant in the House of the Lord than to sit in the seats of the mighty.” He then dropped dead.

I don't use cable television but have a current TV with internet and a dtv antenna because why bother. PBS hasn't worked in forever. I saw a 3 year old post on how shitty the KCTS programming is, could they be not even broadcasting? Usually I can manually find if it's a low signal, but I can't even find a signal. It's at flat 0%. I go back and check every few months and nada.

I started playing Starcraft back in 98. One of my favorite games of all time. Brood Wars was a fucking masterpiece, and the online competitive scene was fucking brutal for *years*. Beyond that, I absolutely loved the worldbuilding and story; the writing was on a level Blizzard hasn't been able to top since. WC3 was fun but frankly it was a disappointment after WC2. But I digress.

when Starcraft II first released, with only the Wings of Liberty campaign, and I started playing through said campaign, I noticed Jim Raynor was drinking a shitload of whiskey. So, I decided to match him drink for drink and I went through an *entire handle* of Jack by the time I finished the campaign, which took the better part of a weekend.

They made it too easy. I shouldn't have been able to finish the last few missions while I was totally shithoused. Also, they should have let Fenix stay dead. He was a god damned legend

Original Title: Bryan Danielson on Kenny Omega being absent from C2: I really wanted Kenny Omega in it and I don’t know. People think I do a lot more than I do. I don’t know what happened or why he’s not in the tournament. I know it was at least brought up to him.


Full quote:

I really wanted Kenny Omega in it and I don’t know. People think I do a lot more than I do. I don’t know what happened or why he’s not in the tournament. I know it was at least brought up to him and I don’t know if he didn’t want to do it or I know that he and Chris Jericho are the number one contenders for the Tag Team Championship. So maybe that’s why. Sometimes, with American TV wrestling, you don’t want to confuse stories, and maybe that’s why. But I love the field that we have, [because] we have so many great, hard-hitting wrestlers. The matches have been really, really good so far in the Continental Classic.

IC Champion Gunther is headed to Providence for Smackdown tonight.

He may just be there for meet and greets with the troops, but it is cool he could be there.

Torn Hamstring (lemmy.world)
submitted 3 minutes ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I'm scheduled for a half marathon in 5 weeks. I KNEW I probably should not have deadlifted before my sprint workout. I didn't wake up this morning to run like I should have, so I lifted weights before my running workout. During my sprints, I felt and heard a pop. I immediately felt pain and hobbles to a stop. Fortunately I was in front of my house. I couldn't bend over to untie my shoes and get them off. Luckily my wife was home.

I know this isn't a medical forum and I'm not seeking medical advice, I'm already in contact with my doctor, but I'd like some opinions and feedback (or questions) from others that have experienced the same. Chances of running in 5 weeks? 😢😢 If it was completely torn, I was feel and see a ball of muscle rolled up right?

Had my 77 LG CX for 3 years or so and thinking about upgrading.

It can't be LG G3 because the 83" doesn't have MLA. Are Sony equally good, or even better now?

Any suggestions?

Hey all, thanks for reading. My Samsung UNJS8500 is starting to go bad. I also purchased an XBoxX last week. Ive been reading a lot on this subreddit. Enough to confuse me more. I have a very bright living room, and watch the TV from some pretty steep angles at times. I was curious what this communities two cents would be between the "big three" this year. The Sony X93L or CL, the Samsung S90C, or the LG one. Im leaning Samsung due to the 4 hdmi inputs, but tbh I havent been impressed with their lifespan. I feel like I was very lucky my current one lasted as long as it did. Plus I have read here that they actually nerf your TV with updates? WTFwhy? Im willing to try the Sony, but last time i looked 6-7? Years ago, the Sony products didnt look nearly as colorful. If anyone has suggestions or experience regarding the viewing angle and screen reflection that would be awesome too. Thanks in advance.

Hello All,

I am finally ready to pull the trigger and get my screen for the home theater. I just cant decide. I had asked on AVS Forum and it was suggested to get a 0.8 Gain Screen with ALR and grey/silver colour. I am projecting using an LS11000 from about 11ft from the screen that will be ceiling mounted (See image). It can be a bright projector with 2500 lumens. I haven't been able to find such a combination. Here are some pics of the setup I have, light wals except the screen backwall which is a dark blue. white matte ceiling. See attached pics. It is a walkout basement but I am planning to get some motorized blackout curtains or rollershades. It is more light reflecting off the walls which are light coloured. I have narrowed it down to these two. Which do you think would work best or are there other screens that would be better. Budget is around 1000 CAD Note: I am in Canada so that may limit my options. Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Edit: Pictures

Edit2: The EliteScreen has 1.2 gain. Is that too high? Can't I adjust the brightness on the projector to accommodate? I don't want any "hotspots" that i'm hearing may be an issue with a high gain screen.
