OT: General OT Thread #44 - The World is Still Turning

[Wabit]

I can't watch any tv with commercials anymore. It's just a waste of time, time that is better spent elsewhere. Video games is also more fun than boring tv shows.
Luckily we have some public service channels here with no commercials whatsoever.

I don't miss commercials at all. Especially this time of year with all the political ads.

Get off your wallets and give to help these poor souls affected by this hurricane.

You're spoiled.
I remember when it took roughly five years to go through Lost.

What a great show though!

The next Fiala? 18 year old swiss kid Jamiro Reber scores his first SHL goal for HV71 vs Färjestad in today's game. FBK had won 6 straight games to start the season, HV71 has had a rough start with 4 of six games on the road and lots of injuries, 8 players gone. Every game a couple of players has been sent to the hospital with broken ribs, hands, noses, teeths knocked out, etc and now they play with 5 junior players. Only won 1 of 6 games to start this season.
Today they crushed Färjestad on home ice.

Hyped D-man Stian Solberg looked confused and didn't know where he was at times. Not impressed at all.

Rings of Power season 2 finale dropped yesterday. Wondering what people are thinking so far. Season 1 was kind of a drag, IMO, but I thought season 2 was much better.

Love both seasons, very much looking forward to the next!

He's doing just fine, +1 rating in a game where they allowed 6. But you know it's all about his physical play, this big hit was the real highlight in Swedish media...

Seems like he picked on a pretty big, tough customer, also. I always roll my eyes when I see a big hit on a 5'10" skill player and it gets showcased.

Yeah Solberg is only 18, the guy he picked is 29, 6'3 200 lbs. I can understand why he was a bit grumpy after being smoked by a teenager.

Want to go to the game tomorrow but I don't think I have time.

Want to go to the game tomorrow but I don't think I have time.

It's the last home game this month.

It's the last home game this month.

I know! But I don't think my wife wants to go.

 

[Wabit]

I know! But I don't think my wife wants to go.

I'm not seeing a downside there.

 

[thestonedkoala]

I'm not seeing a downside there.

What is my wife going to do with a five year old?

Well she's with you so I'm sure she's well prepared to entertain a young child.

I tried for a whole 7 secs to not walk though that wide open door.

Your thoughts on "Succession" - is it worth watching?

I’ve heard good things, from family and friends, about it but haven’t watched it myself

It's a fun show about rich people being assholes but also a great show if you're interested in business at all. Top notch cast.

I loved it.

 

[GordieGallant]

Absolutely Succession was very good. Whole lotta backstabbing going on.

Your Chipotles suck.

That's nifty. Now I have a new rabbit hole to go down this afternoon.

TBH I can't wait to see what the meme/gif does with this.
