The "What's on your mind?" thread - Page 1282 - Blu-ray Forum

Internet was out for a while this morning. As was the communication between my PC and CyberPower UPS, which is over USB. As soon as the internet came back on, my PC and UPS communicated again. What kind of crap is that? UPS is the last thing you would want accessing a cloud for functionality. The UPS needs to be able to tell the computer to turn off when power is running low, and how can a cloud-based UPS software do that if the power of the building and therefore the internet is out?

It works now even after removing the ethernet cable. So apparently it needs internet after waking the computer but can be disrupted after it's already on. Not really good.

I now realize just how good looking Kendall Jenner is. I had thought of Kylie as being the more attractive of the two.
Mom and I were visiting Savannah today and we stopped by the JW Marriot hotel as they have some nice artifacts in the lobby. See this young woman taking pics of a bride who I'm assuming was her mom. Once I got a better look, I realized that she reminded me of Kendall. She was absolutely stunning. California has no shortage of bombshells but this one had me impressed

This is some older news from earlier this year but i was already waiting for when the woke group would start complaining about sixties songs (or some other 60s video's in general)

Apparently Delilah from Tom Jones is banned by some groups (domestic violence) this was not banned by utube etc but i hope they don't start censoring overthere and on the other streaming sources (i already see too many suspicious blanks in my utube and spot sixties playlists)

Today/tonight is the first time I’ve been alone during an entire day and night in quite some time, at least 8 or 9 months or more. Everyone is away for the night, or longer. Well, I kind of forgot about everyone leaving, and it wasn’t until just after 11pm tonight that I realized that no one was coming home tonight. I had been waiting for someone to arrive for a few hours at that point.
It feels very strange to not have 100% faith in your own judgment, but that feeling is creeping into my mind more and more these days. I’m thinking I probably have less than five years left to be able to drive a car. Trying to sort out/sort through all of my physical property, and sell off the majority.
I no longer speak to any of my former bandmates, nor any of the people that we employed or contracted with for shows. Everyone has moved on; I was the last torch bearer, and I have finally given up the dream, and the much harder fight to maintain my dream’s viability. It’s actually been very freeing, mentally and emotionally, to say nothing of the physical work involved. I’m going to keep my music gear, I’m hoping that the grandkids/great grandkids will want to play the instruments.

I can't get my Keurig machine to properly foam the milk for my lattes when I use whole milk. Only seems to work with Lactaid. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be?

If this dog lived on people food for so long and cats Creme Puff and Grandpa Rex Allen (same owner) lived to 38 and 34 on people food, why does everybody feed them dog and cat food? I want to know what people food the dog ate. The cats' consisted partly of red wine. I need to start drinking a glass a day.

I'm happy with every celebrity's success but one. Justin Bieber, good for him. Kardashians, good for them. Jake Paul, good for him. But Drake...I just don't get it. I haven't really given his music a try so that's on me but I just don't...I don't know...

But I do know that I ****ing love Amarillo By Morning by George Strait and could listen to it all day long.

LordoftheRings · 08-04-2023, 12:15 AM

I was looking @ this and thinking that still today there are people with big egos doing stupid stunts.

Is the bear real or just a dude in a costume?

mcrowell415 · 08-04-2023, 02:57 PM

My untrained eye sees a costume. Body looks off. Fur on head doesnt match or flow with the rest of the body. Heads looks oddly shaped.

Bigdog · 08-04-2023, 03:40 PM

Lol bears don't have beer guts. Also the tan fabric around the neck area makes it pretty clear this is not real animal.

It's real. The "tan fabric" is the classic marking of a sun bear.

That's right; it's a real bear...a Sun Bear.
