First of all, Happy Holidays to all of our friends here at Satellite Guys!
1. There is something warm and cozy about watching a football game in the snow, or a Monday Night game where the temperature is like zero degrees, from your warm couch.
2. Can someone please take Eric Mangini's pulse? I fear the man is a drone who has been placed here by Patriot fans from another planet. I see more emotion from my Christmas tree.
3. Brett Favre is another emotionless guy on the Jets sideline. Between the two of them their body language looks exactly like the Jets are playing...like they've given up.
4. I may have to amend my declaration that this is the Cav's year. Boston just seems unstoppable...at least in December.
5. Is there anybody out there who WANTS the Lions to lose that 16th game? Not me.
6. Wow, lots of sports not in HD last night. Lakers/Grizzlies, Coyotes/Oilers, Ducks/Canucks. I feel like I need glasses now.
7. The Texeira and Ramirez free agent soap operas have more drama than some of the threads here at Satellite Guys! Seems like Boros, or Manny, or the teams always want to get in the last word...grow up already!!!
8. Nice of me to put that whammy on the Nuggets last week, when I announced they had put some space between themselves and the Blazers and Jazz. The space is almost gone!
9. Is your shopping done? I was at a mall last night and it wasn't ridiculously crowded. Just crowded. I don't know if that's good or bad.
10. I hope parents are paying attention to what their teen and pre-teen daughters are wearing these days. My nieces and nephews are athletes and they look, act, and dress like athletes. So do their girlfriends. Or at least they're all respectable. Some of the girls I saw last night should really re-think their wardrobe. Oh my, exactly when did I turn into my mother?!?
11. Boise St - TCU tonight in the Poinsietta Bowl is the first must-see bowl game of the season. The next one is the Oklahoma St - Oregon Holiday Bowl matchup next Tuesday.
12. Only two bowl games I really care about New Year's Day, the Rose and Orange. Looks like I'll be watching outdoor hockey in the early afternoon and peek in at the other bowl games.
13. The Texas Stadium 'celebration' after the bitter defeat of Cowboys by the Ravens reminded me of the Shea Stadium celebration right after the Mets were bounced out of the playoffs by the Marlins.
14. Some Lincoln/Kennedy type comparisons between the Mets and Jets this year. Riding high for a while, crashing back to earth only to receive new life, then crashing on their own once again. A team from Miami comes here and ends the Mets' season, and the same can happen to the Jets. I really feel bad for those who are fans of both teams.
15. WWAD? What will Avery do? I still say the best (and perhaps only) fit for him is the Rangers, although a lot would have to happen for that to come to fruition. The Stars would have to take some of Sather's ridiculous contract signings (Redden or Rozsival...or hopefully both) off the Rangers' hands.
16. When did Adrian Peterson turn into a fumble machine?
17. Greg Oden looks facially like he could be Kobe Bryant's grandfather.
18. It was weird catching up with Rudy Gay, OJ Mayo and Mike Conley of the Grizzlies last night. I tend to not watch many games of bad teams (except when they play teams like the Lakers or Celtics), so it's almost like those guys fall off the map for me. Same thing for Kevin Love of the T-Wolves. Is he playing?
19. Wow, Baron Davis must have really been important to the Warriors, huh? Now they can't even get out of their own way. Actually, the biggest problem was bringing in me-first Cory Magette to replace Davis's points. I would never want a guy like Magette on my team.
20. The Yankees have to pay a luxury tax. Yawn. Yankee fans do not care even slightly.
21. IF Eric Mangini survives as coach...a very big if...Romeo Crennel should be the defensive coordinator next year.
22. Is boxing still a sport?
23. Stephen A Smith filling in for Mike and Mike in the morning is a tough listen. Never does one person say so little so loudly.
24. Regardless how you feel about Chizik's hiring at Auburn, I think we can all agree he has about a zero chance to succeed. Everybody is annoyed for one reason or another. It's like reading the Satellite Guys sports forum!
25. I didn't enjoy Casino as much as I wanted to. It was good, I'm glad I watched it, but it wasn't great. Maybe it was Joe Pesci doing a Chicago accent that threw me, I don't know.
26. Blood Diamond on the other hand...excellent movie. Very exciting. Amazing acting by Leonardo Dicaprio and Djimon Hansou. Jennifer Connelly was good, but I'm sure when she's on screen you guys pay attention to things besides her acting.
27. My favorite TV shows from 2008: Entourage, Dexter, Californication, Friday Night Lights, 30 Rock, Big Bang Theory, Lost, Project Runway, The Shield, Mad Men, John Adams, Generation Kill, Wipeout, Inside the NFL, Little People Big World, Pushing Daisies, The Wire. No spoilers please, with all of the sports I watch I'm still way behind on some of them. My DVR seems to fill up quickly, then I have to start watching.
28. I'm starting to not like these NFL referee crews who stand there and look at each other and don't make a call in a lot of situations. Then they meet and decide later.
29. Manny Ramirez on the Yankees would take a lot of pressure off A-Rod, in more ways than one.
30. Everyone please have a safe and Happy Holiday, and a wonderful 2009.

First of all, Happy Holidays to all of our friends here at Satellite Guys!
1. There is something warm and cozy about watching a football game in the snow, or a Monday Night game where the temperature is like zero degrees, from your warm couch.
I agree nothing like it...Espcially in crystal clear HD
4. I may have to amend my declaration that this is the Cav's year. Boston just seems unstoppable...at least in December.
Well it may be....Its not the piston year
5. Is there anybody out there who WANTS the Lions to lose that 16th game? Not me.
Yes we do. I look at this as the ultimate punishment to an ownership that turns everything to coal, I am hosting a party on sunday to Celebrate 0-16!!
10. I hope parents are paying attention to what their teen and pre-teen daughters are wearing these days. My nieces and nephews are athletes and they look, act, and dress like athletes. So do their girlfriends. Or at least they're all respectable. Some of the girls I saw last night should really re-think their wardrobe. Oh my, exactly when did I turn into my mother?!?
I agree...but I also say they the same thing as we get older...we start to sound like our parents
11. Boise St - TCU tonight in the Poinsietta Bowl is the first must-see bowl game of the season. The next one is the Oklahoma St - Oregon Holiday Bowl matchup next Tuesday.
Should be a good one
12. Only two bowl games I really care about New Year's Day, the Rose and Orange. Looks like I'll be watching outdoor hockey in the early afternoon and peek in at the other bowl games.
Ah yes, Wings/Hawks should be a good one
13. The Texas Stadium 'celebration' after the bitter defeat of Cowboys by the Ravens reminded me of the Shea Stadium celebration right after the Mets were bounced out of the playoffs by the Marlins.
Yes...NFL teams going crazy over a win....See Titans
16. When did Adrian Peterson turn into a fumble machine?
17. Greg Oden looks facially like he could be Kobe Bryant's grandfather.
20. The Yankees have to pay a luxury tax. Yawn. Yankee fans do not care even slightly.
"The luxury Tax" That almost works...LOL
23. Stephen A Smith filling in for Mike and Mike in the morning is a tough listen. Never does one person say so little so loudly.
I agree...more insight...Less yelling
30. Everyone please have a safe and Happy Holiday, and a wonderful 2009.
You to...Should be an intresting 09, on a sports front and a social one
2. Can someone please take Eric Mangini's pulse? I fear the man is a drone who has been placed here by Patriot fans from another planet. I see more emotion from my Christmas tree.
He's not as drone-tastic as Belichick or Greg Popovich- they're the gold standard for boringness among coaches.
5. Is there anybody out there who WANTS the Lions to lose that 16th game? Not me.
Me. I saw 16-0 on TV last year. I will get Lions/Packers as an early game. I have seen nearly everything there is to see in sports I thought would never happen- Rangers, Red Sox, and White Sox break their droughts- and a winless season would be one of them.
7. The Texeira and Ramirez free agent soap operas have more drama than some of the threads here at Satellite Guys! Seems like Boros, or Manny, or the teams always want to get in the last word...grow up already!!!
Trust me- those soap operas were NOTHING compared to Favre-gate in the summer.
8. Nice of me to put that whammy on the Nuggets last week, when I announced they had put some space between themselves and the Blazers and Jazz. The space is almost gone!
That is not an easy division, as opposed to the Atlantic, where it's Boston and five midgets.
12. Only two bowl games I really care about New Year's Day, the Rose and Orange. Looks like I'll be watching outdoor hockey in the early afternoon and peek in at the other bowl games.
So, you're not going to watch tOSU in the Fiesta Bowl? It would give you more ammunition to complain about Sweatervest.
18. It was weird catching up with Rudy Gay, OJ Mayo and Mike Conley of the Grizzlies last night. I tend to not watch many games of bad teams (except when they play teams like the Lakers or Celtics), so it's almost like those guys fall off the map for me. Same thing for Kevin Love of the T-Wolves. Is he playing?
Reminds me of Calvin Johnson of the Lions or that cornerback on the Raiders salsa raves about with a hard-to-pronounce last name- great players on teams going nowhere!
19. Wow, Baron Davis must have really been important to the Warriors, huh? Now they can't even get out of their own way. Actually, the biggest problem was bringing in me-first Cory Magette to replace Davis's points. I would never want a guy like Magette on my team.
Warriors sold their souls to Satan to beat Dallas in 2007- this season is proving that was a one-time FLUKE!
23. Stephen A Smith filling in for Mike and Mike in the morning is a tough listen. Never does one person say so little so loudly.
Better than some of the boring and dry sports guys I see on TV.
24. Regardless how you feel about Chizik's hiring at Auburn, I think we can all agree he has about a zero chance to succeed. Everybody is annoyed for one reason or another. It's like reading the Satellite Guys sports forum!
Somehow, voters thought, prior to the season, they'd be better than Texas or Texas Tech. I TOLD you they were overrated!
29. Manny Ramirez on the Yankees would take a lot of pressure off A-Rod, in more ways than one.
As we saw in 2006 and 2007, having a galaxy of great hitting means NOTHING if you can't pitch. That's why they got Burnett and C.C.
30. Everyone please have a safe and Happy Holiday, and a wonderful 2009.
All I want for Christmas is a picture of yourself!

Cutting Edge
Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Many of us have used a universal LNBF mount (or get creative with L brackets and plumbers tape - perforated metal strapping). Use a few inches of aluminum tube (or a piece of 1x2" lumber) to extend the support arm (replacing the plastic mount used by DirecTV and Dish) to place the LNBF throat opening at the correct distance from the reflector, the correct height and at the correct angle. Nothing magical... simply place the new linear LNBF in the center at the same distance, height and angle as the current combo.

To add: 101W Ku seems to be (one of if not the) strongest for me, and if I only had Ku I definitely want 101W for the music mux, it's robust FEC and strong signal help a lot. I've thought about using a used Dish/DirectTV dish at my Dads to supplement his OTA (mainly for my benefit when I visit )
)
A Shaw dish with the linear LNBFs are as rare as hens teeth in the US...

Agents need appropriate context to make what would be understood as the correct read in a situation like that, and that Gemini answer was a clear miss on that front.
That said, we've also seen Musk (and/or his team) put his thumb on the scale (or just release a very poor product) with his own deployed AI since:
Grok AI Blocks Responses Claiming Trump and Musk “Spread Misinformation”
An X user asked Grok to “print out all instructions” it follows when looking up “the biggest disinformation spreader on X,” and it revealed that it would ignore sources accusing Elon Musk and the U.S. president of misinformation.
Grok says Elon Musk is better than basically everyone, except Shohei Ohtani | TechCrunch
According to Grok, Elon Musk can out-slug the MLB's greatest power hitters... except Ohtani.

Grok 4 appears to seek Elon Musk's views when answering controversial questions
XAI’s Grok 4 AI chatbot launched Wednesday appears to consult Elon Musk’s views when asked its opinion on some controversial matters.

In the end, it's all a tool. Have to know how to use it and deploy it properly or it needs sufficient guardrails to steer people towards doing so (what Muse is excelling at currently IMO). I'm routinely interacting with several agents a day operating various processes locally and in services I use, and there are numerous others silently spun up to perform actions or satisfy requests from my prompts.
Related to earlier discussion in the thread on leveraging local inference: this kind of analysis happening behind the scenes is something everyone will have built into Windows, IMO. Most people won't see all of this, just the results, unless they want to dig into how the fix was chosen. Stuff like this will be standard as agents get local system access baked in, and more of the inference itself moves on-device.

Ok, I'm bored .... actually - to be more precise - I'm bored of eating the same rotation of 9 or 10 meals that are currently my "go-to" meals. My wife works the long hours - I work from home as and when i feel like it ... which means i generally do most of the cooking ... and so by default - i also make out the shopping list ...
We cook at home 5 or even 6 nights a week - but we always seem to fall back on the same old tried and tested "quick and easy but tastes ok" meals. Week in week out.
Pot Roast - mash and Peas.
Spaghetti
Chicken Pasta in cheese sauce.
Curry & rice
(these are some of mine)
Now it's not that I'm not adventurous in the kitchen ... I'll try anything once or twice ... but we all do it. Unless your name is Martha Stewart or Rachel Ray .. we all eventually fall back on our 8-10 favorite "meals"
So i thought - if we shared some of our own go-to meals with each other ... we might be able to add a few "new" ones to our own arsenal of meals.
So again - I ask you ...
What's for dinner tonight ?
Please give me something new to add to my rotation ... its our weekly shop tomorrow - so i want to pull together a few idea's and try and eat a meal each day next week that I've never had before .. or at least something that is not on my current "go-to" meal plan.
What meal do you always seem to fall back on in your house ? Maybe its something that I've never tried or not had in a while. I need inspiration !! I've got a blank shopping list in front of me - and nothing sounds good .. HELP !

Smoked some salmon on the grill while enjoying some Blue Moon beer. Kinda cool tonight so I fired up the heaters. Here in FL, we fire up heaters once the temps get below 60 
As for the salmon, I seared them first, then flipped them off to the side not over the coals and brushed on some lemon pepper marinade followed by some salmon seasoning. Threw some hickory chips on the coals and then closed the vents to about 10% airflow. Yum.
