OT: 119th Obsequious Banter Thread: April Foods Day

[Danko]

Pretty much made up for the disappointment that was masters of air.

When I finish watching a couple shows on Hulu i'll cancel Hulu and want to watch Masters of the Air and Slow Horses on Apple TV.

Are Hisense good tvs? Lg? TCL?

Our 55" LG screen has been reliable for around 5 years. Good resolution and enough connections (do we still call them ports?) for most devices.

TV Nerds: I have an old Panasonic plasma. I want to say its an ST50 (or 60?) about 10 years old. I love it and its been very good to me. How much am I missing compared to one of the new super-LEDs of various abbreviations?

In general, OLEDs will give you better color saturation and deeper blacks. The difference will be marked. Power draw will also go down and less heat produced with it if that matters to you.

Motion generally looks smoother on plasmas. The difference can also be huge here depending on which plasma you have now.

Holy shit, the Azores is an incredible place. I've been here for a day and would already absolutely recommend it. Stunning volcanic island beauty.

Shogun was legit.

Shogun was legit.

I watched the first three episodes today. Legit is the perfect way to put it. They've established a ton of good characters and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next.

So I'm in Tucson and hiking in Saguaro National Park with my cousin from Italy minding my own business checking out the amazing sights and as I'm walking I hear a rattle and hiss..look down and I was one foot away from stepping on this huge rattlesnake. Neglectful me had on shorts and forgot my snake gaiters! The snake spared me a nssty bite and trip to the ER!

I like a bit of breathing space, although I now apparently wear size 14, so my options are limited.

So I am walking to work and this lady is walking her dog who had what was the equivalent of a Hannibal Lector mask on its lower part of its mouth
.anyone know what that was?

Was it a muzzle? My sister had a velcro one she had to keep her one dog in for a while, until they put her (the dog!) on puppy prozac.

Get on its good side. Offer it some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
