iPod compatible head units with CD players - still a thing?

Man, that sucks.

Non sequiter: I found three Apple Airport Time Capsule units yesterday, priced at $15 each. Didn’t buy them but am thinking that an external Time Machine backup might be a good way to divest from iCloud.

And US takes down Australia in a very physical 2-0 win.

I wish BenightedBastard were here. I know he prefers cricket and isn’t much of a soccer guy, but still a good dude and fun to banter with.

Thanks. I, unfortunately, did not make sufficient preparation to attend a match for the World Cup on US soil. That will probably haunt me for a long time. :sad:

Somebody needs to put together a Zlatan commentating highlight reel.

Equally the best thing about this World Cup is Zlatan Ibrahimovic as commentator. Fun stuff.

World Cup 2026!

So far, the favored teams are not dominating their first game, first round opponents.

With the exception of Germany's 7-1 win over Curacao and Sweden 5-1 Tunisia (really, to be expected), most of the usual favorites are getting off to slows starts. Even France looked shaky in its 3-1 defeat of ...

World Cup 2026!

Total stunner of an opener for US vs Paraguay. USMNT came out strong to force Paraguay into an own-goal error and didn’t let up. A lot of good play that will benefit from tightening up as the group stage progresses. Paraguay may be ranked 41 in the world, but it is no slouch of a team with world ...

Almost forgot to get this started.

World Cup started yesterday with a tense game between Mexico and South Africa. S. Korea came from behind to beat Czechia. Canada tied with Bosnia today. US versus Paraguay tonight.

Fuck yeah, this is what work from home is made for.

I'm kind of interested in the whole 3D2A thing. I bought some printed handguard covers from a guy. They're just as good as the premium-priced tacticool crap.

Maul - Shadow Lord

Was looking forward to watching this after all the teasers and previews. Seeing the first two episodes pleases and disappoints me in all the same ways — good premise, shaky execution of a storyline, corny as hell.

Physical exertion, or the things you do to stay alive these days

I still play soccer a few times a week. I’ve been playing since I was 8. The high impact running is taking a toll. Too many games in one day and my knees and ankles hurt for days. I started playing goalkeeper for some teams. It’s a different set of skills, it’s less cardio, and it requires more ...

Any votes for the ceramic or the hex clad, etc?

Hex Clad is overrated. Henckel has a knockoff that you can find at Costco in a 3-pan set for $99 when it’s on sale or clearance.

I love my set of Calphalon commercial anodized aluminum collected over 30 years. Last year we switched from gas to induction because kids are dumb. Now I’m trying to sell off a good set while building a new one.
