    Check out his playlist. I know the OL has a video, and it's pretty well done. This draft has three very good tackles and a couple of guys who will make decent tackles, but outstanding guards. In fact, one of the top seven or eight linemen is a 5-technique guy ( a guy who has played all five OL positions in college). The Saints love guys like that.

    Maybe the Bengals could use some versatility. In a 17-game season, guys are going to get hurt.

    @Horace, it’s wave-particle duality; it has no mass when traveling as a wave.

    please give them the benefit of the doubt and allow them more time to work out the issues.

    Isn't this what they have been doing for hundreds of years?

    Yes, but that not enough time, they need just a little more.

    If the hunter can't use his big brain to make killing tools, then the tiger can't use it's claws and muscle.

    The fittest will win, that's the rule.

    @Axtremus said in Why *not* to use a SSD for Time Machine Backup:

    Yes, mostly affect write speed, not so much on read speed

    I would think that's not a major issue in backup, particularly if incremental, such as Time Machine.

    Hybrid drive with smaller SSD + bigger HDD … for a while that’s the standard for iMacs. Even Apple stopped doing that now. I guess people just don’t want to deal with the mechanical failures of HDD’s moving parts.

    My 2014 iMac has such a drive. It failed after about 3 years. I had it replaced. But, I'm currently booting from an external SSD and it works great. My Time Machine backup is to a 4TB RDHD.

    @George-K said in RIP CNN+:

    People who preach about kindness to others inevitably bear claws and fangs as soon as they feel righteous to do so. It’s not that kind people don’t exist, it’s that kind people who condescendingly preach about kindness don’t exist. Most of those idiots can’t pass a first simple test of kindness, for instance viewing charitably the opinions of a political other.

    A Cooper SK20 - genuine leather circa 1970

    I was too lazy to go dig it out of my hockey bag so I could take a picture, it's amazing that you can "Google Blue Cooper SK20" and get several pictures.
