Yep, after a day of drinking in the sun on the beach, I wanna shoot pool and drink Single Malt.

I'm on vacation!!!!

Where's nice to play pool around Destin. We went to Hurricane Lanes, and that was not right. then we went to the "Starcade Billiards" in Fort Walton - which had good tables and lots of 'em.

But, I'm looking for someplace with a good bar, newer tables maybe, full kitchen -- Single Malt Scotch available while we play.

Surely someplace in Miramar/Grayton Beach has some nice pool tables and a full bar?

Where to go?

re: Shin splints healing time?

Really easy to re-injure if you don't heal completely too.

I’m not sure if what I had was exactly “shin splints”. Mine was some damn painful shin area pain, muscle-bone interface area perfectly describes it. So …. Yea, I had it before.

From jumping rope.

And this “easy to reinjure” point is crucial. I had it, pain would go away in a week or two , I’d go back to jumping, and it’d come right back.

So, rest longer than you want to. And ramp up volume/intensity of activity a lot slower than you want to.

I don’t think so. Pretty damn inexpensive for a school to field a basketball or baseball team.

And many schools still field football teams (expensive sport) even though they don’t get any notoriety from it. Or much revenue.

University isn’t like a private company. They have other priorities than profit.

re: Analyst predicts LSU firing Tigers head football coach Brian Kelly after 2025 season

Kelly isn't a bad coach.

He’s not a great one, either. If LSU wants to win titles, then the coach will need to do better than 8/9 win seasons.

That’s the point of the article.

It’s been 3 years, the “rebuild from Ed O” narrative won’t fly anymore.

Revenue and publicity should not be the goal of a college sports program.

Pro sports does that.

9-3 is a B/B+ with our schedule. No way you fire a coach that wins 9 games a year.

OK, I'll play.....

No way you go hire a 9 win coach for $10 Mil a year.

I wouldn't fire a 9 win coach at UL. Or USM. Or Tulane.

But, if I really needed my football team to get into CFP every year, maybe win a Natty every 4-6 years, and be competitive in the SEC..... I'd fire a 9 win coach.

Nah. They just drug a bunch social/political crap into it. They can straighten out NFL in a couple weeks and it’ll be good again.

Bud Light is slowly recovering, NFL same thing.

damn. bad look for kelly.

What infuriates me about this is CBK could have said NOTHING. He should have said “no comment”, “can’t discuss it”. Which he did when asked, then started adding shite.

He brought this on himself, now he’s in a public dispute with a plaintiff’s attorney that he will NEVER win.

All downside, and no upside, for CBK and the program to respond to this.

But he couldn’t shut up.

He’s dealt with media for decades, but he still has trouble with it.

re: Commercials - why can’t I skip them Anymore?

If you are paying for ad free, I'd bitch to them.

I have Hulu live ad-free. I’m watching CNBC live right now. I want to FF through the commercial. It says “video will continue from this point after the commercial”.

It forces me to watch the commercial. After the commercial is over, and it goes back to live content from CNBC, if I scroll back to the commercial, it makes me watch it again - can’t scroll out of the commercial.

“ad free” is misleading. Live tv on Hulu is not ad-free at all.

I’m gonna record a show off live TV see how that does with ads.

You don’t understand TiVo. You’d watch a live show, it would buffer it. So you’d pause it, go make a drink, come back and watch the show. Commercial come on, you’d FF through the commercial.

As long as you had buffer, you could FF through commercials on live broadcasts.

Hulu, puts a yellow shade on the commercial buffer bar, marks the commercial, so you can’t FF through it.

There’s a difference.

I was hoping someone would tell me I just had missed out on some new development, that there’s some bullshite tech thing you pay a few bucks a month for (like everything else now) to have this capability.

Aggravates me. In this area, I have LESS technical capability than I had 20 years ago.

I already pay for the Internet that brings the content into the TV in my house. Then I pay for the streaming service. Then they try to make me “rent” shows and movies. And then they make me watch lots of commercials…,that companies pay them to show.

Posted by p226 on 1/29/25 at 8:38 pm

I remember when TiVo would let you FasrForward through the commercials. Hulu Live won’t let you do that.

I want a streaming service that lets me buffer live TV and skip through the commercials - like I USED to have before the technology I liked was deprecated.

Does YouTube TV do that? Directv still let you do that maybe?
