I'm not sure how far we can get into this, but there are standalone devices that make it easy. Costly up front for convenience. I've used one and the UI sucks though, you're right.

We've used it on and off for a couple of years: iptv in the winter, netflix in the summer.

Fixed it for you.
Our Chipotles are fine for a quick bite. I have no idea what the hell you guys do for Mexican food, but it was bad.

We went to a Mexican restaurant, can't remember the name and it had PREGO SAUCE FOR THEIR SAUCE.

Your city traumatized my wife.

Did you go to Frog Town? If not, you probably went to some generic "Mexican" restaurant.

So, a Texan travels to Minnesota, which is farther north than parts of Canada, and is surprised that the Mexican food is not good?

The Vietnamese food might be pretty good. I know a lot of them moved down to the Gulf after emigrating, and got into the shrimp fishery.

There is good Mexican food in the north. It's globalization! I've had good Mexican food north of the Mason-Dixon line before! I'm just surprised at how bad this place was.

Hit me up when you are in Faulkton. I’m about 45 minutes from there. I’d buzz over and have a beverage at Dot Ts with ya. Our schools are in same conference, not a stranger to that town.

What’s the last name of landowner, I may know them….. :)


Yup, you know the deal then……

Hunt went OK, better than last year thats for sure. Bird count aside, my pup did awesome. Just a completely different dog from the MN public and game farm hunts we've done this year (her first season) I'm so pleased.

A buddy and I are thinking of maybe coming up for an early Dec hunt. If so, will hit you up and we can go get a beer or two!

Severance is an absolute mind f***. I've never had Apple TV and I've only kind of heard about this show. Adam Scott stars, set in an workplace... figured it was a run of the mill The Office sitcom wannabe.

Couldn't be further from the truth. The Office, meets Lost, meets Maniac, meets Black Mirror, meets.... I don't know... Twin Peaks.

Adam Scott is great. John Turturro and Christopher Walken are also fantastic.

It's swell

Severance is fantastic.

Other great AppleTV shows:
The Foundation
Masters of the Air
Silo
Mystic Quest (pretty good comedy)
Ted Lasso (HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend)
Slow Horses
For All Mankind (What if the Soviets won the space race?)

Yeah, Ted Lasso is great... been slowly getting thru that with a lady friend. Silo is definitely up next for me

Yup, love it. Season 2 comes out in January.

I also loved S1 of Silo and am aware that S2 E1 came out today. Can't decide if I'll watch weekly or batch a bunch together.

Slow Horses is fantastic. As is Silo. Shrinking also a good watch. Apple has put out a lot of quality even beyond Lasso.

So... I'm reluctantly going to watch this Tyson/Paul fight tonight even though my gut tells me it's scripted "sports entertainment." But ive been thinking about the demographics of this. Paul fans (arguably the majority) only know Mike Tyson as the lovable,sometime, comedic cameo in movies with the stupid face tattoo. They have no idea that when "baddest man on the planet" is mentioned... he was just that. I grew up watching boxing and Tyson, my dad paid for HBO and PPVs specifically to watch Tyson. He even got the illegal cable box for him. He was a force. (And also a real piece of shit, that's probably lost on the Paul demographics as well). I hope this "match" doesn't tarnish his (boxing) legacy...

I'm not sure their standards are all that high.

Saw brief moments of the fight. Scripted. Boring. Can't believe people watched that shit.
