As the debate over whether college athletes should be paid continues, it's clear that there are strong arguments on both sides of the issue. While some argue that college athletes should receive compensation for their contributions to their schools' athletic programs, others believe that such...

Dead at 71 of cancer. I hate that she went off the deep end because I liked her in shows. https://variety.com/2022/tv/obituaries-people-news/kirstie-alley-dead-cheers-look-whos-talking-1235451006/

Today marks the 9th (!!) anniversary of Mikko’s passing. It’s sad and I miss him but it’s time to celebrate knowing him! Post your favorite thing about Mikko/North_Ranger here! (Oh, and happy anniversary, Halforums.)

Reports are coming out & it looks grim. Doctors are “very concerned”. The BBC has replaced their anchor with their top guy and he’s wearing the black tie used for royal deaths. End of an era.

Due to monetary concerns I need to make some cuts. I currently give $50 a month to two charities - Save the Children and the ASPCA. I need to give one of these up. Which one and why?

This one makes me kind of sad. She was only 31. I'm not much of an America's Got Talent watcher so I only learned about her after she left the show, but for those who don't know she was an incredibly talented and gracious contestant. Unfortunately she also had incurable cancer. She went through...

His last legacy was a brilliant Ghostbusters: Afterlife. I do love the apparent sideswipe they took at his daughter, Caroline, in Variety Magazine. It reminds me of Big Bang Theory whenever anyone disses Howard for not having a PhD.

Frank has reached out and needs our help. He's retracted his request a couple of times, but that's because he knows everyone is having issues right now. But I'm putting this up here, anyway. I know the amount is a lot but if we can give what we can every little bit will help.

Okay this one is driving me nuts and actually caused problems last week. It doesn't matter what platform, but when I play videos they sometimes just plain pause for no reason. And it's not always at the same time and it's not every time. Last week it did it when I was playing a song during a...

Probably a @PatrThom question: We got my wife a new iPhone SE to replace her dead iPhone 6. Set it up & tested it. Worked fine. This morning I tried to send her a text and she never answered. Sent her a Facebook message and she answered right away. Turns out Apple thinks we are sharing a...

Get paid Friday and Saturday or Sunday will be having a date night with the wife. But I don’t know what to do. Ideas are welcome because damn am I stumped as to what to do.

I ask this because in May there was a poll and Americans are pretty confident people. Their poll allowed for a few more animals than Xenforo does, so I did the biggest ones. Left off of MY poll were rat, house cat, goose, medium sized dog, and eagle...

Within the next week I have a few things I need to do with the boards that may or may not take it down. First, the SSL needs to be updated. I'm going to do that tomorrow. Since they aren't expiring they SHOULD have minimal impact. But who the fuck knows? Every time they tell me no impact shit...

But since I've been diagnosed with NAFLD, it's been suggested that I start drinking coffee. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24199670/ So here I am, at 55, drinking coffee in the morning for the first time. Fucking hate the taste of this shit and I guess I'm no longer staying away from...
