Colossal TV Show thread

This was a good family show for Saturday mornings, so I'm excited about the follow-up.

Cars & Bikes, Driving & Riding

The first car I ever purchased was a 5-speed, and I learned how to drive stick on the way home - from Lancaster to Philly. I enjoyed it for a while, but it got old sitting in traffic, and now I just don't want to deal with it. I don't care that others enjoy it - awesome. Faf's annoyance on the topic...

FFS, this is why most of us can't stand the 'only manual' crowd. You enjoy stick shift, congrats, want a medal? Nobody else cares.

We had that conversation with our 11 year old this morning, just to make sure that she was aware of the dangers.

None of us are manual haters, we just don't care. That's the difference. My TL-S has paddle shifters. I think I used them for a few weeks, then got bored since it was more of a novelty.

You know what really grinds my gears...

It'd be nice if these TV manufacturers included a programmable button on the remote to launch whatever app you wanted. I get why they have Netflix, Prime, etc. buttons, because they're being paid, but it'd be a welcome benefit to everyone. I think I have only ever seen a single remote that had a You...

You know what really grinds my gears...

If I had to guess, 99% of my TV time is watching recorded shows on TiVo, with the other 1% being live TV. And even then, it's either background TV while I do something else, or if I'm waiting for my wife to start a show. A great example is when my wife and daughter read at night. That's my time to w...

You know what really grinds my gears...

When I finish work and put on the downstairs TV in the background while I do dishes, etc., it's either on Man vs. Food or My Lottery Dream Home, which I'm perfectly fine with. :lol: And that kinda goes to why I prefer not having to fiddle with anything. I just tell Alexa to turn on the TV while I'm ...

I bet I could program my Harmony One to do that with an activity, though I don't think I can control that via Alexa, which is how we power on/off the TV. Doesn't really matter for me, I was just curious.

Hopefully the winner has seen this Reddit thread.


I think about this advice a lot for somebody who never plays the lottery.

For those of you with YTTV, do you basically power on the TV to the home screen, and then launch YT? When I was trialing it, that was one pet peeve, being unable to launch directly into an app.

FYI, Dave Attell apparently has a new special on Netflix.
It pains me to write this, but this was just not good. Wife made me turn it off after 15 minutes, and I don't blame her.

Politics And Current Events

Saw an article a few weeks back that said Millenials were less likely to consider themselves religious, with numbers dropping every year. I imagine that stuff like this probably helps guide those decisions, on top of the fact that people are tired of having religious beliefs forced onto them at ever...

I'm going to see Godzilla x Kong next week, but as of right now, the only IMAX showings are at 7pm. I'm going to give it one more day to see if things change, but I have a feeling that a longer Dune run is causing this. If that's the case, I'll see it in Regal's RDX since I have never done that befo...

I would prefer a more honest answer. Would anybody really be mad if he was like “I’m not just doing this for money… I’m doing this for a **** load of money.”
