    What are you binge watching?

    Should've been better, but definitely worth the watch. Some good ideas and production, but I found myself yelling at the characters to do something else that seemed obvious on a number of occasions. I like the Cobb character. My wife and I just kept saying "This poor guy. What else can...

    OT: Minimalist Wallets

    I've bought 3 wallets over the past 30+ years. I like a thin front pocket leather wallet that can fit 2 credit cards, license and insurance card with enough room to throw in a hotel key-card. I like the kind that has a built-in money clip. I had two coach wallets, and now have a Tumi wallet...

    Peacock Question

    I have no issue rewinding, pausing, etc. Only issue is that it's not as easy to rewind/fast forward with control so you can blow through things, or have to go slowly. I just a firestick or my ipad.

    Lantern Flies: How bad you got them?

    I was on a tour of UConn with my kids a couple years ago and a few lantern flies hopped into our vicinity. I went out of my way to squish them while the tour guide was telling us about some building. Many on the tour looked at me like I was crazy. One woman gave me a nod of respect...

    February General CBB Discussion Thread

    Rick was respectful, but if you read between the lines, he's calling out certain Big East programs. He said that the status of the Big East would be a factor in his decision whether to keep coaching at St. John's. He said that every school should commit to $9-$11mm in NIL. He also called out...

    February General CBB Discussion Thread

    Just came to this thread to see if Wagler was being talked about. He's my favorite non-UConn player right now. Reminds me a bit of freshman Jeremy Lamb. I love the kids game, but I think it's also because he looks like a college freshman. I have a college sophomore and Wagler looks like he...

    Big East January '26 Thread - Take Two

    DePaul throwing the game away, but the refs helping. Big East officials are not good. DePaul has missed at least 5 easy layups. Like point shaving bad (but I don’t think they are shaving).

    Providence Post Game Thread

    This may be one of the most confusing UConn teams ever. I'd go further and say it's one of the most confusing #2 ranked, 20-1 teams ever. We've looked pedestrian in just about every game other than the true cupcakes. And the issues could be different in every game. We can't shoot, ball...

    Why is the Big East terrible for UConn and where should UConn go instead?

    I honestly can't read through all of this, so I don't know if this was already addressed. Assuming that something happens in the next couple years that realistically closes the door to UConn getting into a P4 conference, what does UConn do next? I personally don't see UConn doing a UMass and...

    Death Storm, Jan 2026

    Definitely conflicting forecasts. Weather.com is saying snow showers up to 1" while Apple is saying 8" or so in NJ, Accuweather saying "chance of snow" (35%) but they have a story saying it could move offshore. Hoping Apple is wrong.

    Death Storm, Jan 2026

    It definitely depended on whether and when it switched (and switched back). I estimate around 19" in Northern NJ. First run with the snowblower was easy. All fluff. Second run around 10 was still not too bad except for the sidewalks from the plows. Finished off with an easy couple inches...

    Bourbon & Rye

    I'm going to be in Louisville in mid June with a few other couples for a wedding. I like bourbon but I'm not super sophisticated on the nuances and don't really have a big interest in becoming a true connoisseur. I've already booked a little driver + tours outside Louisville for 4 couples...

    What are you binge watching?

    We're through the 6 episodes now. I agree that it jumps to lots of fronts. I like some more than others, but I'm intrigued by all. I'm confused with some stuff about Bud's Buds, but don't want to add too many spoilers. I'm least interested in the Brotherhood story, but I'm ok with it...

    OT: Snow Removal From Your Car Before Driving

    I learned the 1 car length for every 10mph rule in driver's ed. Doesn't mean it's still the standard because that was 35 years ago, but I looked it up and it's still used. I absolutely love the adaptive cruise control. That, the lane correction tech and blind spot warnings are life changing.

    OT: Snow Removal From Your Car Before Driving

    This is an odd thread. Here are my 2 cents: Clean your roof. It's the law in my state (NJ) and it's dangerous if it turns to ice. Being 5 car lengths back at 50mph is totally reasonable, but you can still get hit with flying ice. That's not using math... it's happened to me and it's scary...
