Highly disagree with their Colorado choice. Best Fried chicken IMHO in Colorado is the pan fried chicken at Castle Cafe in Castle Rock cafe. Be prepared for a wait, as they take up to 20 minutes to prepare some of the best pan fried chicken you have ever allowed to pass your lips.
Housed in an historic 1800's building. Where the Cowboys who came into town on payday, would ride their horses through what was then a bar and hotel.
Sadly, I've never been there either.😥

And now the best Hole-in-the-Wall Fried Chicken joint in every State! Still have not been to a single resteraunt in any of these lists! If I ever find it possible to retire I might have to make an epic bucket list road trip to visit them all!!😁

Why is it that I have never had the pleasure of visiting ANY of the resteraunt s on any of these lists???? I need to live a better life!

And in honor of "French Fry" day

Went to Five Guys today with the team in an early celebration!

Don't currently have one, unless you count the two stray cats that have taken up residence in the crawl space. I think they steal food from the neighbor cats? Not going to chase them away they help keep the mice, rats and snakes away!
Question for all, I've had several cat's and dog's over the years, but it seems to me that as loving as all of them have been the strays have been just a notch more so than the ones you raised up. Anyone else experience that?

Crap, should have gone through the list BEFORE posting Bloomington's Farm listed as best burger in Indiana! Who's eaten there?

I don't know that I have ever watched Law and Order. My son loves Comedy Central.
Here's an evil thought. As the 80 year old guy who gets there first. And ask him what tv shows he hates. Then get there first one day. And play his least favorite tv show. LOL
mile, never thought of you as being vindictive. That being said, I can't say I didn't have the same thought!

People who back into parking spaces. If I ever run for president, my entire platform will be centered on making it a felony to back into parking spaces. I realize there could potentially be a benefit to it, but I'm sorry to the 5% that can successfully do it, but the other 95% that try to and can't are ruining it for you. No more!!!!
I guess I fall in the 5%! Don't do it a lot, but when it makes sense I do, and almost always get it the first time! Thank God, we hardly ever see parallel parking anymore!
Have to tell the story, my last visit to my best friend in Russia, we came up behind a guy trying to parallel park in a tight space, there is only one lane past the parked cars, so we have to wait! After about his 6th time I commented, " he must be practicing his parallel parking". After about 10, he finally stopped, a little later my friend was trying to put her car in an equally small spot. After about her third attempt, I commented that she was practicing as well! Thankfully, we have a GREAT understanding of each other, and she took it for the joke it was intended!!!

Love Pizza, but trying to stay somewhat Keto. Definitely going to have to try this recipe with chicken as the crust!

Where I currently work Peachtree City Ga airport is practically right across the street. Every year they have a major airshow and during the week before The Blue Angels come in and practice. Needless to say productivity goes down considerably as large portions of the plant spend a bit too much time outside watching! They are awesome!

Gigantic chunk of some titanium alloy, I'm assuming.
Titanium yes, gigantic no! Very delicate almost, in order to save weight. Also had about half again more piston cups than the others! We are talking the 80's but we had exotic manufacturing capabilities even to this day like laser welding and electron beam welding. What got me was our brazing was done with silver and gold brazing rod! Something about the extremes of the environments, like 140 on the deck in Arizona to minus 80 or more at altitude let alone the pressure change.

My dad was a USAF hydraulic technician during the Vietnam. Spent many hours crawling around landing gears of F111s and F4IIs. And while this wasn't his primary assignment, he did hold both the clearance and the certifications needed, and on two occasions, worked on the SR71 Blackbird. Keep in mind, this was the late 60s and there weren't 5000 people on the planet that knew that plane existed, let alone been able to see the schematics and then the actual aircraft.
One of, if not the greatest achievements in modern engineering. An aircraft that could fly more than 3 times the speed of sound, keep a crew of 2 alive and return to be reused, remarkable on its own. The fact it was designed in the 1950s largely by hand....unbelievable.
Worked for a company that made Fuel Controls (carburetors on MEGA steroids) for F14, F15 and F16's, we also made brake and wheel components for the same planes as well as several Boeing commercial. One day we had a service order for SR71 brake caliper bodies, needless to say it was quite a step above the F14,15,16 brake calipers!

Mile got me started with his post in the Trendon thread.
"Within miles from my house is Centennial Airport. Good for 900 flights a day. Second busiest General Aviation airport in the nation. Planes fly over Cherry Creek State Park. We can watch them coming and going on our back patio. Fun to watch. The owners of the Broncos, Rockies, Nuggets and Avalanche use Centennial for their personal jets to fly into and out of along with bringing in players. Far enough away from my house that noise is not a concern, as the personal jets are not allowed over residential areas. The few times military jets fly, is another story. There was a time when the captain of a B-1 bomber requested touch and goes. And was granted. I was outside to view all three. First two were slow and headed out towards the state park. The last was full power, right over my house. The neighbor lady across the street, ran out of her house saying she was going to report the flight to Centennial. I just laughed and told her that was a B--1 bomber that just flew over her house. I loved it. And to this day, I don't know how my windows did not get shattered.”
Love watching Aircraft doing their business. Worked for three years as a civilian driving around fort Benning, several C130's loved watching them dropping paratroopers! Remember at least twice Apache Helicopters tracking me like I was the target, was glad I could be of service! You could always tell when a President was flying in the Southeast as the KC 135's would be flying in and out! There engines literally SCREAMED! Maybe it was just coincidence but I doubt it. One time I needed to drive past the airport like every day, but there was a roadblock, they asked my business and they said Okay but be quick. Just as we had turned at the end of the runway and headed away from the strip, we heard the roar of jet engines reverse throttling, looked in the rear view mirror only to see Air Force One chasing me and then turning off onto the tarmac!

These refs are absolute trash.
Still think virtual 3D officials are a bad idea? Maybe, we need human officials just so we can feel good it wasn't because of our team's play?

Enjoy it, 5G streaming TV is at least a couple years away!

There is a new kid on the block! T-Mobile is announcing the introduction of their new TVision streaming service in limited cities to begin with.
What I find extremely interesting they seem to be setting themselves up to be the first 5G streaming service, when 5G roles out.
“TVision Home is about so much more than home TV … it’s TV built for the 5G era,” Mike Sievert, COO and President of T-Mobile said in a statement. “With New T-Mobile, we’ll bring real choice, competition, better service, lower prices and faster speeds … right into your living room."
Stay tuned 5G TV is not as far away as some think.

First things first. Understand I am a guy approaching his 73rd birthday. I am far from a computer nerd. What I learned to run HSN in the early days and the "Stuff" we are talking about now.... is purely self taught. But I love learning. I am sure there are younger people who can come to an answer quicker and better than me.
Mile, not far behind you!☺️. The last time I did any programming, was on punch cards in Fortran! But keep on learning! That's what keeps us young!!!

I have both a Roku3 and a RokuTV, sales pitch not needed...lol.
Was asking about your particular connection because wifi will degrade resolution faster (exponentially faster) than ethernet, as will the length of the cable connecting the Roku to the TV. If the Ultra directly connects, all the better.
The fact that you notice a difference in the resolution between the Roku and the internal app is interesting. Never did a side by side comparison.
I go slightly overboard when it comes to my home network (and by slightly overboard, I mean using a nuclear missile to kill a mosquito levels). 4 TVs in my house, none use wifi. I have one dedicated coax in to my modem, one directly to the living room TiVo, and one going to an amplified splitter to serve the other 3 TVs. Network wise, I have Cat6 cable drops in every room all connected back to a gigabit switch. My old router is basically reduced to being a wireless access point. Only things that connect via wifi are phones/tablets,and occasionally laptops.
I have zero bandwidth issues, needless to say.. Lol.
Since as I have stated elsewhere my cell connection is several times faster than what I had available with DSL. I've got some serious bandwidth envy!

Roku is a device, not a streaming service. Think of it as an internet-connected cable box. It plugs in to your TV, which displays the programming sent to it. Hulu is a subscription service you can access through a Roku device.
There are TVs now that have the Roku hardware integrated, so you don't need the separate device.
You could use a cell phone as a connection to the Roku if your phone was able to be used as a wifi hot spot.
That said, "smart tvs" skip the Roku step entirely and have the Hulu/Netflix/Amazon/etc software pre-loaded so you don't need a separate device, just an internet connection.
Like this one, or better.

Where I live, even though the South is known for doing fried chicken right. I'm told the best chicken in town is at the Piggly Wiggly grocery store!😩
