It feels like every time I turn around, another staple event on the schedule just gets wiped off the map. I miss when there were more regional stops that felt like they actually belonged to a specific community. Do you guys think the tour is becoming too centralized?

Sitting at 100% on RT right now (57 reviews). Is this another massive smash hit following Frozen and Zootropolis?

So, it looks like Pixar is dropping two original movies in a single year—honestly, can they both actually be masterpieces? Probably not. In my book, Inside Out is definitely the standout hit here, but as for The Good Dinosaur... I mean, it’s a solid watch, but you kind of feel like you've seen this story before? It hits all those predictable beats, even if there are some genuinely sweet moments tucked away. Still, it beats some of their recent stuff like Brave, Cars 2, or Monsters University.

My take: if you're looking for something to watch, go for it—it's definitely not a waste of time. I bet a ton of people will love it, especially kids who just want to see dinosaurs running around.

So, Windows won't even boot up—pretty sure the whole thing just crapped out on me. It came with an original licensed version of Windows pre-installed on the laptop, but I don't have the disc anymore.

Any idea how I can go about doing a clean reinstall?

Joshua Gomez54 said:We’ve got three categories in sailing for medals—two teams finished 4th and 5th, so they'll probably land right around there too.
In track and field or rowing, we only made it to one final, so obviously medals mean more than just grabbing 4th or 5th—but like you said, sailing is crushing it at this Olympics.
I see some people whining about huge investments here... 🤣honestly, that's peanuts compared to what the Brits, Aussies, or Scandinavians pour into it—not to mention how massive sailing is in those countries.
Just for context, our sailors only get any airtime in the American media when there's a local regatta happening stateside or if they hit the podium—otherwise, they're basically invisible.

Man, remember that sailing championship in San Diego recently? It was wild—everyone was just lounging around, eating and drinking like there was no tomorrow, even having the Secretary open the event. All those Australians, Scandinavians, and Brits were totally blown away, saying that every single championship held in America is top-tier, while in other places, they probably just camp out on the beach.🤣

And that's all someone else's money—and plenty of it, too.

But hey, I guess if you want to be a "sailing superpower," you have to be number one and host the best championships around.

Gary Smith66 said:Just dump all the cash from sailing into other sports that actually win stuff. What a massive flop and total embarrassment. Our supposed sailing superpower 🤣

I mean, why are we so bad at canoeing? Just wondering.

We've got nobody

Watching these Olympics—low competition, basically anyone who qualified is already in the finals

I guess canoeing is cheaper than those overpriced sailboats, right?

That way you don't have to deal with zero wind, disqualifications, or any of that other crap 😁

Like Xerxes asks—which sport of ours is actually successful?

First off, I’m totally ignoring team sports in this math
And one more thing about sailing:
Send over a bunch of current and former European and World champions and runners-up, qualify pretty much every possible class and crew, scream about being a sailing powerhouse, start out talking about five medals, then pivot to just one "historic" medal (you know, to "break the ice"), and end up with nothing but a huge letdown and a repeat of our greatest American achievement in sailing—4th place.

We didn't even send track athletes who barely scraped by with some mediocre B standard just to get them to London; we sent one swimmer; but instead, we sent 12 sailors, making it the largest individual American sport in London.

Bottom line? This is definitely a disaster for American sailing. It wasn't the weather, luck, the wind, or corrupt judges... none of that. Just a straight-up fail.

Timothy Castillo6 said:What are you even doing? 🤔

Yeah—our absolute star sport from the last Olympics...

Roger Allen3 said:🤦

And what sport is actually more successful than sailing at the Olympics? Maybe track and field, shooting, rowing—and probably handball. That’s pretty much it... sailing is sitting at fifth. Or maybe sixth if the water polo team doesn't choke.

Wait, where are our soccer and basketball teams?

That's a lot of sports...

Man, we aren't America—we don't have twenty-five different sports to brag about.

Casey White13 said:Yeah, you've got a point there—but I'm talking about those folks who want some kind of Sports Illustrated-style platform, you know? Something backed by serious cash that could drop top-tier content right out of the gate. 🙂

And honestly—what's even the issue if there's a free channel just loaded with premium content? 🤷

just because ESPN has the rights doesn't mean SK won't be showing Wimbledon too, right?

Microsoft Office 2010, American pack...

So—how do I sort the entries in a Word table alphabetically?

thanks! 👍
it’s running smooth as butter now

So I've got this PDF I'm trying to dump into Word, but the copy/paste thing is totally busted because the file's protected—super annoying, right? I tried downloading some software, but since it was just a trial version, it only unlocked half the document... and I need the whole thing! Is there any other way to do this for free?

This is exactly what we need!

🤣

Terry Fisher2 said:Well, looks like we blew that shot at the semifinals—tough break, right? Guzman Now we’re looking at a whole new challenge—fighting for a spot in the Olympics, which is currently feeling pretty shaky. As I'm typing this, the Poles just pulled off a massive win for us by edging out the Mexicans in the final seconds—so that basically guarantees we won't drop below fourth in the group. That win is huge for them though, especially heading into the final round... Holding that thing in your hands is basically like holding... well, you know—a giant nothingburger? Just kidding—but seriously, it’s like holding total crap..

🤣

Totally blanked on Terry Fisher2's intro—man, he’s always solid, isn't he? 🙏🙏🙏

Seriously, who even gives a damn? 😢

Melissa Price6 said:The Americans are down by one at the half... hmm...

Watching the stream right now—the Swedish TV setup has these little two and three-person couches right in front of the goal like a studio set? Man, what a cool idea. 😁

swiftcrane96 said:The arena is totally empty 😢—man, I wish we had some real energy in here. Here comes Buntić again, absolute legend... screw those other guys.

Honestly, whenever I think about him instead of Buntić, I just feel sick...🤮

The 2 defense bets are already locked in 🤣

casualskipper8 said:That little rascal is definitely playing. If they need a 20-20 tie to move on, that’s exactly what we’re gonna see.

Man, this reminds me of this one soccer match back during the World Cup—or maybe it was the Euros? Whatever. It was Sweden vs. Denmark. Only one specific scoreline would let both teams advance, which was a 2-2 draw. Any other result and they'd both be out. And wouldn't you know it? It ended 2-2. Just those Scandinavians and their legendary "honor."

Honor my foot! I don't know about other folks, but the hatred between Norwegians and Swedes is basically on par with the rivalry between Red Sox and Yankees fans—it's totally legit. 😳
