Man, those Germans are something else 😲 🙏🙏🙏

They played like absolute garbage and still managed to walk away with 4 points 🙏🙏

Sweden is getting absolutely crushed, trailing 12-7 against Germany halfway through the first half🤦

Won 😍

Playing:

FC Barcelona
LA Clippers
Clippers Fans less
Dirk Nowitzki less

Canadians 😠 🙂

I mean, honestly, my folks $27 😠

The Icelanders got exactly what was coming to them after how they played against us 🙂

Iceland 🙂

Iceland 😠

Honestly, I’m kind of feeling X too 😠

It’s been a total wash with an equal amount of Icelanders and Norwegians up until now, but honestly, it looks like the Icelanders are finally starting to take charge and run the show 🤷

Anthony Brooks8 said:Honestly, the Sixers could probably just steamroll Denver today based on pure grit and youth alone—I mean, Denver's stuck in a back-to-back grind while Philly’s had three days to rest up... 1.45 is actually a pretty sweet line to grab if you're looking at it that way...

Look, I love the Sixers as much as the next guy, but if I were actually putting money down on this matchup, I’d probably play it safe and take the opposite side—you know, go with the underdog instead of chasing the favorite😬 if I were playing this specific leg😉🤷

Honestly, I’m thinking we should probably just take a shot at the Warriors today, since Pierce and Parker aren't really bringing much to the table lately.

Post an enlarged version of your avatar already🙂

The rivalry is about to start, basically the pre-game for the big one—USA vs. Mexico☕

Spain 👋 🎉

Roger Allen3 said:I mean, seriously, how on earth did these geniuses end up putting together groups like this? 🙏

Honestly, I’m just as lost as you are—does anyone actually have a clue what kind of twisted logic they used to draw up these groups?😕

cosmiclynx57 said:And here I was thinking the Germans were the heavy hitters! 😲 What’s the word on Sweden? And who do you think is actually the top dog in Group B?

To be totally real with you guys, I don't follow handball that closely, so I'm kind of flying blind on which teams are actually elite. I caught the Czech Republic playing during that four-nation tournament recently, and they actually looked pretty solid.

In Group B, my money is on Sweden taking the top spot, mostly because that painful generational shift they went through is finally behind them and you can tell they're back in the mix, though if you ask me, they'll probably just be scrapping for 5th or 6th place by the end—unless, of course, everyone in the group wins their matches and carries over a ton of points, and if the math from Group A works out in their favor, they might even sneak into the semifinals, but realistically, I think we're looking at a three-way tiebreaker for 2nd place in the next round between Poland, Sweden, and the US hosts who will almost certainly get some favorable calls from the refs to keep them moving.😳

@ Benjamin King2

So here’s what they actually sold me 🤷

I specifically told them I needed a case for a PATA setup, and I even went out of my way to emphasize that I was talking about an OLDER model drive, so is this actually what I asked for or did they just totally screw me over? 🤷

I honestly have zero clue how anyone is supposed to make this work😕

Benjamin King2 said:PATA is basically old-school tech—you know, the kind with that massive 40-pin connector. You plug the drive directly into the motherboard inside the case, and then the case itself provides an external USB port so you can actually hook it up to your computer..

so yeah, that's what I was wondering about🙂.

thanks a ton 🙂.

one more thing though 😁.
how big is this enclosure actually? like, can I just hold it in my hand, or is it some massive beast? 😬
and is it even something I can pick up at Chipotles? 🤷

Benjamin King2 said:Look, if you want to turn an internal drive into an external one, all you really need is an enclosure, and you just gotta make sure you pick either PATA or SATA depending on what kind of drive you're dealing with:

http://www.amazon.com/2TB-hard-drive

And hey, if you’re trying to plug a drive into a case but you've already run out of ports, you can just grab a PCI card like this one and plug the drive right into that—it works exactly like plugging it straight into the motherboard: http://www.amazon.com/2TB-hard-drive

if I'm following your logic here🤷, you're basically saying that I take this---->
.... and shove it into one of those enclosures you were talking about

The drive I'm planning to toss into the enclosure is SATA (that's the older style, while the newer ones are PATA, right? Or am I totally tripping?)

So how does that actually hook up to the computer, like, does it use USB or what? 🤷

Benjamin King2 said:Since we're talking external drives here, are you planning on slapping this thing inside a PC case or are you looking to just toss it in an external enclosure and carry it around like a portable? You can totally wipe the drive; just format it if there’s only one partition, but if it’s got multiple partitions, you'll need to clear all of them out and just set up one fresh new one.

Honestly, I don't really care, because what am I even supposed to do with an internal drive once it's gone external anyway?😕

And man, any idea how much the cables are gonna run me?🤷

What can I actually get for $67, like, is there anything decent at Chipotles for that kind of cash?

So, I’ve got this ancient 80GB hard drive lying around the house 😁, but it’s SATA, and my PC uses PATA—or wait, maybe it's the other way around 😁, the computer has the newer one. Are there actual cables I can just buy to hook this old relic up to the motherboard? How much would those cables even run me, and more importantly, can I totally wipe everything off this old drive (it’s got Windows, music, games, and all that other random junk)

Don't let them feed you that garbage about this being some unimportant warm-up for the World Cup.

Last time they played in an "unimportant" Euro tournament, they walked away with silver, and then at the World Cup? They couldn't find their asses with both hands and a flashlight.

Seriously though, why on earth would they even need three goalkeepers😲 🤷
