That’s a good book
 
I found it particularly helpful when Jurgen Klinsmann relied so heavily on finding German born US players to fit his system, and failed to utilize much of the home grown, especially hispanic players in the US.
 
Since they're using more of their own delivery vehicles (and presumably drivers) I think the deliver service is lower quality.

Twice in the last 2-3 weeks their drivers have driven over my WET lawn as they carelessly careened into my double wide circle driveway. No excuse.

If this keeps up, I'll be ordering a lot less frequently from them.

Wow, you managed a #humblebrag and #getoffmylawn two-for-one special. Bravo. Someone's gotta be getting close to OGBoards bingo today.
 
lol

Nah, just trying to point out that there's plenty of room in my driveway and no excuse for the terrible driving.


Some talk in the last week of the two guys named chris show that the Amazon drivers were pretty bad...my experience so far supports this. I'm sorry to say.

At one point, I owned three copies of Strange Brew. The VHS since high school ($29.95 at Suncoast in the New Mall by JCP), bought the DVD when it came out, and then about 5 years later, my in-laws gave a DVD to all three branches of their family tree.

Now I just have the Blu-ray I got off Amazon for ten bucks. Still watch it every year or so.
 
Strange Brew is awesome. It took a long ass time for it to come out on dvd.

I recently dumped probably 80% of my DVD collection by going disc to digital on vudu. Most of what I had just didn’t require the best audio and video possible. Digital improves more and more all the time. The surround sound surprises me sometimes. But for some movies and some that I couldn’t convert, I kept a hard copy. Saving Private Ryan would be one example. Star Wars trilogy in its original form on DVD is another. Can’t get that on blu ray or 4K.

It's hilarious that a decent number of these purchases are DVDs. Does anyone still actually buy movies to own anymore? I think the last one I bought was The Dark Knight.

During the internet boom it seemed like every new shopping site, in order to up their customer count to appeal to bigger investors, had either crazy deals or things like $25 off a $25 order, and the selection of products wasn't so extensive, so DVDs were a very common item you could cash in on.
 
Someone recently gave us a CD of baby lullabies and it's like where the fuck do they think I'm going to play it? I think our cars have CD players but have never used them.

the rare 10 year delay re-gift?
Click to expand...

it was an old (friend of the in-laws) so not sure if a regift or something they genuinely bought for us. but even then, in this day and age seems like the only place you could get that would be Amazon, or, I guess a Goodwill. but this person would probably never step foot in one.
 
My history is only going back until 2014, but 100% positive I ordered before then. Am I missing something?
