@LadyCrimson Believe it or not, fan-made 1080p and even 4K transfers of the original theatrical cuts (i.e. non-Special Edition) are already out there, taken from stolen "recovered" 35mm prints. From images I've seen of it, Disney could probably improve on it, but it's obviously miles ahead of anything official.

@Keyrock It's actually really simple - the head to head would be 1-1, the next thing checked would be divisional record where Cowboys are currently 4-0 while Eagles are 1-1. ...Wait a moment, the Eagles are 1-1 in their division? The Eagles finish the season @Dolphins, vs. Giants, @Redskins, vs. Cowboys, @Giants. The Cowboys finish the season @Bears, vs. Rams, @Eagles, vs. Redskins. ...In other words, the Cowboys are screwed.

@Keyrock Fun fact: if the Cowboys lose out while the Eagles only notch one win against the Cowboys, the Cowboys would still make the playoffs at 6-10, .

@Keyrock "The Dolphins have more wins against winning teams than the Cowboys: Dolphins defeated the 6-5 Colts in week 10, Cowboys have defeated teams with a 16-50-1 record, including zero winning teams"

@Hulk'O'Saurus That's...odd. Never heard of something like that, though I have significantly less experience with laptops than I do desktops. What about being plugged in would cause the PSU to act abnormally? You'd think it'd be the other way around if anything, that it might not be able to fully deliver power if it's running off of battery...

@Antonio Brown: Rumor has it that the NFL has told a few teams that he would be immediately place him on the Commissioner's Exempt List if he signed with a team, but that he cannot be placed on it until he does, hence the weirdness. That's "the" rumor, anyways. I don't think it's completely black and white - I think if you're genuinely starter quality, you can get away with a lot more than if you're not, or at least that seems to be the trend with other controversial cases. If Kaepernick was very good, I think teams would be more willing to overlook the perception/media issues. But since he's not likely to be a franchise QB but merely a good backup...even good backups are not worth that kind of trouble, not when a not insignifcant percentage of the general NFL fanbase seems to despise the man and he most likely wouldn't even play.

@Hulk'O'Saurus Memtest86 from the Memtest86 website. You use the included imageusb.exe to burn the image to a USB flash drive (or you can use something like Rufus if you need to do it to a CD/DVD instead), then boot the flash drive (let me know if you need help on figuring that out), start the test after it successfully boots the Rufus interface. If there are any errors at all, the RAM is the problem (and should be re-seated and re-tested one RAM stick at a time and maybe in a different motherboard RAM slot just to rule out any possible interferences).

How did you determine it was the motherboard? I would probably memtest86 as my first step to check the RAM.

I've always wanted to try deep fried turkey, but I've never had the opportunity. I'll get around to it one day. Happy Thanksgiving!

Reminds me of when I had an absolute bloodbath on my back patio when I lived in (coincidentally) California. Coyotes had climbed up our hill chasing something, probably rabbits seeing as there were a lot around that frequently visited, and just started destroying everything and physically attacking the house in the middle of the night. They repeatedly charged (and struck with their entire bodies) the back glass sliding door I had that went to the living room (it was a weird house - California...), but weren't able to get through luckily. Left carnage everywhere - looked like somebody had been murdered on my patio. I'll take the raccoons, thanks.

Trump Wonders Why the 100th Anniversary of Women's Suffrage Wasn't Celebrated 'A Long Time Ago' this guy lmao

*fraud detected*

No doubt, but you may have vaguely heard in the news recently about a certain Giuliani being a part of a slightly illegal scheme to dig up dirt on a certain Biden. It might make a little bit of more sense to go with the "40 years of blackmail that I already have on the guy" rather than unnecessarily opening up the risk of going to prison on a separate-but-the-same-exact-idea scheme...if you actually have anything, which he probably doesn't. Not because there isn't any, but more likely because he's an inane blustering hack fraud.

Yeah, the lack of the normal BBCode mode makes editing BBCode in any real manner a terrifying nightmare from which we will never awaken. ...But hey, at least images you copy+paste automatically get embedded tags. That was worth the trade, .

One Cut of the Dead (2017). Recommended by RLM's Jay (his second favorite movie of the year), very unique and entertaining and bizarre film on multiple levels. Pretty masterfully made. The premise is simply that a Japanese film director has been tasked with making a live, one-cut zombie short film. Wasn't sure if I was enjoying it at first, but it all worked out (note: don't watch the trailer as the movie will be very much spoiled). 100% on Rotten Tomatoes if that means anything.

Pretty powerful speech from House Majority Leader Adam Schiff on the closing of the impeachment hearings yesterday.

hwinfo64 is great, though it's a little overkill. Video of its sensors in action: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/prf7fw0bm6dmzdo/2019-11-20_22-48-09.mp4

I won't lie: I took a perverse pleasure in seeing this picture.

Packers were like that for a lot of this decade with Aaron Rodgers. Hoping they get bounced much the same way we did (...although preferably with less winning in the Wild Card/Divisional rounds).

Earlier in the season, I thought the Seahawks would falter and be replaced by the Rams, but they just keep barely winning games, whether it's against great or terrible teams. Bah.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/470861-biden-says-he-wont-legalize-marijuana-because-it-may-be-a-gateway-drug Biden's officially against legalizing marijuana due to it possibly being a "gateway drug". Well, I'm glad he said it out loud, because the Democratic voter base is pretty overwhelmingly in favor of it, so hopefully it hurts him. (e): Also, Trump tying a gubernatorial election to himself and saying that the Republican candidate losing would be a personal loss to him backfires once again, with both Kentucky and Louisiana electing Democratic governors this month. Fun stuff.

@KaineParker & @213374U: I know there's something to be said about fighting the good fight - really, I do...but there's a big difference between discussing with someone who is simply frequently on the opposite side of you vs. a hack fraud ideologue who consistently displays zero good faith any time you engage with them on any issue. Stop giving the latter the platform to spew their bull****...or at least any bigger of one than they're unfortunately currently afforded, .

@213374U: Hey, I just made a handy little how-to guide for you and everyone else that you may find helpful: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/n8glwp45o75cwyv/2019-11-16_18-59-27.mp4
