Re: It's time to break the USPS monopoly

Zzand, the same box that is used by your USPS carrier? Impossible to answer as to why someone else is doing something, but federal law is very clear that a USPS mailbox is to be used exclusively by USPS. When your local high school football team sticks their bottle drive flyer on or in your USPS mai...

Re: Should the NFL make changes to how the 1st round draft order is determined?

Lock draft positions in the order teams are eliminated from the playoffs (by week) with the tiebreaker being the inverse of last year's draft order. So if team A and team B are both eliminated in week 14, whichever team had the lowest pick last year goes first this year.

Re: Full Audio of a Narcissist Begging for Votes from Georgia SOS

After the Electoral College votes, this is the process. It's not quite done yet. A joint session of Congress is required by the 12th Amendment to count the electoral votes and declare the winners of the presidential election. That joint session of Congress will be held on January 6, 2021 at 1 p.m. W...

Re: A Bunch Of Hippies Hijacked 60s On 6 All Time Top 300

All the SiriusXM "Listener Choice" countdowns are created by their employees, not the people that pay the subscription bills. The 60s on 6 one this week sounds like something that Lou Simon and Pat St. John cooked up together over cocktails.

Re: To use...or return

Yes. It could be used to send the VGA output to a TV set that has component input jacks (an HDTV). Look at the wire colors on the cable you bought to get them to "lineup" as in the photo below. The cable you bought has the wrong color connectors on it ... but the wires are probably correct. Typical ...

Re: "Close" Losses?

He might have meant close in terms of the team's competitiveness, not the score differential when the clock hit 0.0.

Who knows if the wholesale changes they made in the offseason will payoff, but early on they feel like a team that could be a whole lot less boring.

Send them back, that won't work for your pre-HDTV.

Pick this up instead for video: https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Composit ... 08DCNBZG2/

For audio, you'd need this (or similar): https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-105597 ... 0094A1F3S/

Re: Michigan cancels OSU game

His $10 million buyout clause. Michigan athletics is already gonna be $80 million in the hole from lost revenue due to no fans / concessions / apparel sales / etc. No way anyone would approve piling $10M more on that when they can just write this season's record off to the pandemic.
