It was a surprisingly competitive game, which indicates that Ham hasn't completely lost the locker room. I thought this was one of Ham's better coached games with the exception of putting Cam Reddish back in during the middle of the 4th quarter, which quickly dissipated our 10 point lead.

Welcome!

The first thing you need to consider is that he exploded from just inside the free throw line (which is 15' from the hoop), which is insane to begin with. Two, he finished with contact over a strong and lengthy Paul George (although he didn't contest), which is even more impressive. Three, he elevated even higher than necessary, making him float longer in the air for aesthetics. Fourth, and I can't stress this point enough, he did this at the ripe old age of 39 years old. Paul George is 6 years his junior. Most 39 professional athletes are sitting on the bench, cheering on their decade(s)-younger teammates, ready to cash in their league pensions.

Paul George also sidestepped at the very last second, preventing this poster dunk from being even more embarrassing for him.

Ugh, I was so excited for the adaptation, since TWOT is one of my favorite fantasy series. I made it 17 minutes into the show before I turned it off on disgust. Poor casting, poor acting, and they couldn't even get the damn premise right!?

Nope, CA doesn't recognize non-competes.

Only to start off with the main quest and follow their instruction to start. It leads to you interest points, and you can gradually explore on your own from there. Talk to all the named characters you come across and check out everything you can. The scenic story telling is absolutely fantastic, especially once you soak in all the little details!

Speaking for my favorite game of all time, New Vegas, you need to push through until you find something that captures your attention. There's nothing you can really reach in the first 2 hours (for a first play through) that will pop out at you. But once you get that first "whoa" moment, you're completely immersed. But you definitely need to be a patient gamer in the beginning, because a vast desert provides a lot of empty, forlorn landscape (a lot of people hate this, but I love the desolate atmosphere).

Thanks for the tip, but I was referring to the battery drain while using the wireless device. Not sure if native wireless Android Auto drains as much battery, but using these 3rd party dongles drains about 15% every 30 mins on my phone, even when not actively using navigation.

I don't think the additional IST game would've mattered too much anyways. Our schedule is absolutely brutal right now, and I wouldn't have been surprised if we had some load management losses on the books.

And lately, we've lost more due to poor coaching, schemes, and rotations than health. We're getting bodies back slowly, but we haven't been using them correctly.

Great device, with long term support. Occasionally buggy for periods of time, but somehow fixes itself randomly. I only wish it didn't use up as much of my phone's battery.

Another year holding onto my Note 20 Ultra, I guess. God, I hate what Samsung has become.

Amen! The only thing keeping me from upgrading from my Note 20 Ultra is the lack of options for SD card slots! The idea of having to pay a premium for storage each time I upgrade my device is insulting and terrible for personal finances. And with all the recent headlines about cloud storage being hacked, or how it was inaccessible, I wouldn't trust it even if I always had access to an internet connection (which I don't always have, especially when out and about).

Hell, they could upcharge this "feature" and have it available only on the Ultra models to help justify the exhorbitant cost and I would pay it.
