Mike Tyson vs. a Great White Shark in Martial Arts & Combat Sports ·
Robert Fox78 said:😁Those big guys just love acting like they're something special. Honestly, it's no wonder Mike wanted to take one on. Maybe he was drunk, or maybe back then he actually believed he could knock out a gorilla. The media and the hype at the time basically turned him into a god.🙏
He was just trying to look tough in front of a girl—Robin Givens, back when he was courting her. It would be fascinating to see if a gorilla could actually stand up to Tyson’s prime peek-a-boo style while staying on its feet.😁...hmm, a Shark wouldn't stand a chance; they have sensitive noses, and once you hit them there, they usually check out—or so I read. As for how much power it takes to KO a gorilla? No one really knows. Mike was so close to solving that mystery...🤷😬

A gorilla doesn't have feelings. To a guy like Mike, a gorilla's head is basically a pillow. Just think about it...

Who's going to be the one to step up? Please don't ban me for posting this—I'm being serious. This isn't some joke; the news actually hit the papers...

I really hope this turns out to be false.🤣

1. unknown - one man
2. unknown - musicians who drink
3. unknown - hey how are you doing now
4. unknown - i don't want to live in block 65
5. unknown - nettle
6. unknown - the stall
7. unknown - outside
8. unknown - stay a jerk until the end
9. unknown - another lousy day
10. unknown - if that were me

Ten perfect ones for knocking them back.

Great songs, soothing vocals, and beautiful singing. It’s the perfect vibe for a Budweiser while watching the rain fall outside.

You’ve gotta drink when you're listening to Rock, man. Especially live—it's hard to find anyone sober in a crowd at a Rock musician's show, at least that's my experience (maybe I just hang out with the wrong crowd) haha. But if you're at a Jusić or Balašević concert, that's a whole different story.

If you're looking to get drunk, nothing beats some heavy punk or metal like Suicidal Tendencies. But when I'm sober? There's nothing better than a late-night drive through the backwoods and small towns, far away from the crowds and the cops.

We’ve all heard that saying about how music hits you, but anyone who spends enough time hitting the bars or clubs knows there's a specific rhythm to a night out. Everyone has that one genre they gravitate toward when they start drinking...

For me, it’s always been Rock. That said, if we're being honest, people probably get the most wasted listening to Country. But when I hear Guns N' Roses or The Beatles, I could drink an entire gallon of bourbon and still have enough energy to shake the floorboards.🤣

What kind of music or artists do you guys pair with a drink? When was the last time you went all out?
Favorite songwriters from the old South in Music ·
Frank Richardson said:Did she write it herself, or was it an adaptation of a Mexican version?

Hard to say. I haven't listened to alka or Bebek, but I noticed the song showed up on that list of alkin lyrics one of our forum members posted.

It’s fascinating how men always seem to be the superior songwriters, though I suppose that's just the way it goes everywhere in the world.
Even when it comes to novelists.

Alright ladies, go ahead and try to change my mind.😒

And then they have the nerve to claim men aren't romantic.

She wrote that little smear piece about Bebek🤣🤣🤣🤣

What on earth got into her?

🤣Haha, I didn't even catch that one. Where was he hiding? lol
His songs are definitely elementary school material, though.


Frank Richardson said:Milić Vukašinović

Hahaha, I actually forgot he existed. His tracks are textbook stuff too.

Charles Ramos4 said:I didn't even mention Arsen, for instance, among my favorites. It’s purely because I haven't listened to him enough to really consider him. (My own shortcoming, honestly.)

He recites everything slowly and quietly. When I have him on headphones, I have to crank the volume just to hear what he's singing. Every word feels heavy, almost leaden... you could put three dots after every line. But if you listen longer, you realize his songs are actually quite brilliant. He isn't tedious like Šerbedžija.

Steven Newman50 said:Before that, I used to ask: where are Rundek and Mladenović? 😁

I forgot about Rundek😵I'd put him in the top ten instead of Mandić.

1. Branimir Štulić

5. Oliver Mandić
6. Miladin Šobić
7. Jura Stublić
8. Marijan Ban
9. Boško Obradović
10. Momčilo Bajagić

The top ten.

I can already hear someone asking, "Wait, where's Bregović?"
GPU Buying Guide - (Read first post) in Desktops ·
Timothy Kim60 said:The card is fine, but honestly, an RTX 3060 would probably be a better value since it's nearly identical and usually ends up being a few dozen dollars cheaper. Still, you didn't get ripped off; $733 the price is fair for a high-end cooler like that one. A top-tier cooler on its own could easily run you that much, if not more...

He might not have had that specific model on hand, but at least he didn't scam me. I was upfront about being a total amateur when it comes to this stuff and told him I didn't really know the going rates.

So they were definitely priced higher elsewhere.🤔

For gaming, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti GAMING OC 6GB 192-bit WINDFORCE 3X, featuring 3xDP and 1xHDMI, is a solid choice. A guy at the local Best Buy recommended it while I was putting my rig together, and after browsing some YouTube reviews, it seems most gamers are pointing toward this card too.
$733.
Can't get close enough in Psychology & Therapy ·
I’ve always been somewhat off-putting, though I can’t quite put my finger on why. My contact list is huge—maybe over 200 names from past and present jobs—but it’s strictly business. Not a single one of those connections ever crossed the line into anything personal. Whether I was doing a good job or a bad one, people just didn't gravitate toward me. It’s clear I have this repellent quality, but honestly, I’ve never gone chasing after deep friendships either. I don't have enemies, and I don't have any regrets, but I don't have friends, either. I just haven't been successful at it. In group settings, I’ve always been the one in the background. People always seemed bothered by something about me, even if they never said it out loud. To be fair, I didn't always click with them, either. Even when I grab a drink with someone after work, the conversation inevitably circles right back to the office.
Lately, I’ve drifted exclusively toward metal. I've realized nothing hits quite as hard as Slipknot, Slayer, Iron Maiden, or Suicidal Tendencies.

I'm honestly getting sick of all that pathetic "Classic" stuff—the ballads and whatever else. There's just too much whining and self-pitying in those lyrics. When you listen to Angel of Death, it actually gives you a boost.
Bad Boys in Fans ·
Chelsea supporters are good people. They'll crack your skull open, then offer you a sincere apology before dropping you off at the ER—all while pleading with you via a 911 call not to press charges. As a thank you, just hand over your watch and whatever cash is in your wallet; the guys need it for their bet365 parlay, and honestly, hospital food is plenty for me.
Bad Boys in Fans ·
I’m trying to gauge who hits harder: an average BBB supporter or someone from Atlanta? I’ve got a dual jersey on right now, so the score doesn't really matter—I'm a Hajduk fan at heart. That means I’m walking into the Dynamo stadium, but if the blue side collapses, I'll just swap out of the Dynamo gear and put on my Atlanta one. Anyway, getting to the point: if things kick off between the fans, which crowd should I try to blend into to have the best chance of walking away unscathed?
Graphics glitching in games in IT Support ·
Picked up a new rig about two months ago. I'm running an NVIDIA card with 6GB of VRAM. Games like GTA V or Mafia III run fine at 60 FPS on High or Ultra settings. But there's a catch: if I play for more than two or three hours straight, the game crashes. When I relaunch, everything has defaulted to the lowest possible settings. It looks like something out of the 90s. If I manually fix the settings and restart the game again, it works normally for a bit.

Why does my graphics performance keep tanking mid-session?🤔
