home theater, cord cutting, video streaming, a/v tech, and more!

Has anyone here used one of the intel Atom Z8300 computer sticks? My old "media laptop" that I have connected to the tv/stereo is on it's last leg and this looks like a good replacement. It runs windows 10 pro so I'll be able to RDP to it, set up my vpn, etc: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MA5...

So when's the tiny pecker parade? The Salute to America, with music, military demonstrations, and flyovers by Air Force One and the Navy’s Blue Angels, along with the president’s remarks, is set to take place from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Trump told reporters there also will be tanks stationed near the me...

The truck owner hit a breaking point when he received a request to comp 300 servings of soft serve for "exposure." On the email request, also shared on Instagram, the words "HARD PASS" are scribbled in red letters. Amazing. And I can empathize with his plight. Over the 13 years I've been a photogra...

Kessel traded to the Yotes

I’m also baffled why sprong couldn’t improve his habits, with these kinds of role models. Baffled!
Did Sprong have a good year after being traded? Or did the Pens ruin him for good?

Super Genius had this to say:

Kris Letang figures to take Kessel’s spot on the left half-wall, which reduces play-making from that spot but helps with zone entry and cuts down significantly on short-handed opportunities allowed. Justin Schultz goes up top.

If it doesn't matter, why not just release the shoe or leave the status alone?

I was reading about Breitbart's traffic being down 75% since the last election so I went to see what they are pushing on the front page. Lots of outrage, and stills from, the new Miley Cyrus video.

There is an ice cream truck that patrols my neighborhood every day in the summer. And it never comes up our road.

I want treats, too, dammit.

The swastika had a certain significance in Hindi/Middle Eastern culture before the Nazis co-opted it.

Maybe it's a good thing people don't want to associate themselves with things being used by hate groups?
They probably wouldn't use the OK sign anymore either.
