You have to account for the losses too.
We’re basically the Silver Lining crew after all...

Actually, it’s me. I say that because I know we earned that gold.
I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore, but whatever. I just needed to vent somewhere.😁

So, my bad. Or should we just be "humble" and actually consider the players for once? You know, maybe factor in how many games they’ve had to grind through in a single week?

It sounds almost dismissive to call it "just" silver. In reality, it’s an incredible achievement.
We really should be celebrating... if only we could actually get ourselves to do it.😢

Exactly. We might be a relatively small nation, but when it comes to sports, we punch way above our weight—enough to make the superpowers jealous.
And taking second place is a massive win.
Is modesty just not in our DNA? Or what?

I'm trying to get a better sense of how my home theater setup actually performs. Which film would be the best benchmark to compare different systems?

Thanks.

Honestly, if there’s any decent action at all, you can usually find a compilation CD featuring clips from movies with top-tier audio.
That might be your best bet.
I have a similar DVD myself, so I can test things like Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Digital, and so on.

There's no need to panic. Hopefully, the world's militia and the supposed birthplace of democracy will step up—assuming things don't go south like they did in the old America.

When they’re ready to step up, they can sort out their own domestic issues.
It’s not our place to lecture them on how to handle their wives, especially since most of us can barely manage our own, right?😁 At least a good handful of us...
I know a few people from Turkey living here in the States, and honestly, most of those women wouldn't want—or even be able—to live any other way than they do now. Maybe the younger generation will be different, but at the end of the day, it usually ends up being the same story.
Only time will tell if they, or the women themselves, eventually realize things might actually be better handled differently.
And that’s going to take a long time.
