Coco, er Conan O'Brian and the interwebs - he gets it more than most - “I only want people to experience me at 11, on TBS” — those days are over. The audience is too fragmented, they’re too distracted, and a whole generation is growing up that doesn’t watch television that way." (allthingsd.com)

Hey r/Television! Sunday Night Wars: Am I the only person who is enjoying this season of "Mad Men" more than "Game of thrones"? Which one do you watch first and enjoy more? by RobotsScareMein television

[–]menevets 1 point2 points ago

I enjoy actually watching GoT more and listening to podcasts, but enjoy reading the reviews of Mad Men more.

Paul Kingsey reminded me of Varys on the last episode, with the yellow robe and almost bald head.

If Breaking Bad has an amazing 5th season, could you see it being placed above The Wire in Best TV Show lists? by syktonin television

[–]menevets 2 points3 points ago

They're totally different shows. It's like comparing Lord of the Rings to Game of Thrones. They're not meant to be compared head to head.

Any redditors watch Veep? by CAPTJTKin television

[–]menevets -3 points-2 points ago

I loved the movie "In the Loop" and obviously Veep based on the 1st episode, but don't have cable, so I'll have to wait till I can buy it digitally.

Meanwhile, there's Battleground, a Hulu series that is similar, but on the campaign trail, and no cussing.

so I'm not really enjoying The Walking Dead. Is there something wrong with me? by ajaxanonin television

[–]menevets 1 point2 points ago

The quality is inconsistent, there are spots where it just lingers.

There are some great parts to it though - the first season, the CDC, the tail-end of the 2nd season.

Totally escaped me - Captain Picard was Karla in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy by menevetsin television

[–]menevets[S] 0 points1 point ago

Plus the live theatre.

In my defense, I skipped the opening credits and Karla never said a word.

Learning App by ZestyNuggetsin ChineseLanguage

[–]menevets 1 point2 points ago

I tag team between Pleco and Nciku too. My thinking was instead of buying the stroke order add-on on Pleco, I get Nciku instead, which includes stroke order and has a good related words section at the bottom of a look up and also good sample sentences.

I prefer using Anki for flashca... err SRS.

Cable companies advising FCC to prevent changing laws to give online video sites more access to content by menevetsin cordcutters

[–]menevets[S] 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, I like your version better.

I never figured out a way to change the title without deleting and recreating the post though.

FCC asking whether the rules of multichannel distributors (TWC, Comcast, DirecTV) — like the right to carry certain popular channels and the responsibility to carry some less popular ones — should apply to new online distributors like Hulu and YouTube (nytimes.com)

I know this sounds yuppie-ish, but I love getting to use my MoMA umbrella when it rains by danwinin nyc

I loved my Slate.com umbrella, but some thief stole it.

Good short game guides? by bouncing_bear89in golf

[–]menevets 0 points1 point ago

Stan Utley - Art of the Short Game.

I read Pelz, he's okay, I prefer Utley: more succinct, more margin for error, no pushing gadgets to buy, no need to buy that extra wedge. Utley was a tour player.

Here's a chipping video

Here's a pitching video

Just search for Utley on YouTube, plenty of clips.

For putting, Geoff Mangum is pretty good too.

Why Can't We Play Golf Faster? by mustang6560in golf

[–]menevets 0 points1 point ago

People don't give a cr@p, that's why.

Observe people playing in the UK for the most part - they know how to keep pace although our habits are starting to seep in over there.

How accurate is Google Translate? by that___dudein ChineseLanguage

[–]menevets 0 points1 point ago

It's another tool in the toolbox. Google Translate says that if there is a word/phrase with a translation on a page that is indexable, that goes into its "brain".

Some things it does decently:

  • Names, places, basically proper nouns pretty well.

  • Colloquialisms, idioms, etc...

  • Words mdbg or Nciku won't have.

Notice the above are short and sweet: 1-4 characters.

This man does not get enough credit.. by valefor91in gameofthrones

[–]menevets 10 points11 points ago

More shows should use an appropriate ending piece. A fixed ending piece kills the mood when it doesn't match the ending.

Michael Phelps just wants to play golf by thepastafarianin golf

[–]menevets 0 points1 point ago

Lets leave aside all that stuff about the book, personal relationships, etc... Even if he is the opposite of a douche, he still can't teach. He's awful.

[–]menevets 1 point2 points ago

Phelps - a word of advice - stay away from Haney. You can do much better.

The 100 best courses - he'll get to play them given he's a famous Olympian, but most of us will have a hard time getting on as they're pretty much all private.

Can we all show some love to an amazing actor right now instead of when they kick the bucket? James Hong, ladies and gentlemen. This guy is awesome. by vectormessiahin movies

[–]menevets 1 point2 points ago

Hong was in a West Wing episode and used the word "shibboleth".

He's sort of the Asian Samuel Jackson in terms of getting work everywhere.

With DVRs and the Internet, Is the ‘TV Schedule’ Outdated Today? by OliverQueen187in television

[–]menevets 1 point2 points ago

Once full seasons of tv shows were released on dvd - that was a harbinger of things to come. Watch when you want no commercials.

I pretty much stopped watching live tv w/exception of sports a long time ago, probably 5 years ago? I'd rather wait to buy digital or dvr episodes just to skip the commercials.

It is fun watching a show live and commenting on it on reddit, Twitter or some live blog.

Meanwhile at hole #10 ... by da5idblacksunin golf

[–]menevets 0 points1 point ago

I was once teeing off and a turkey called out right before I was about to swing. Thought I was hearing things. Turns out there actually were turkeys on the course.

I've seen: foxes, deer, aggressive bees, dogs, cats, hawks, gophers, raccoons, gators.

Took a quick picture of today's sunset as I was putting away carts at the course I work at. I wish my phone could have captured how beautiful it was in person. by onegiantleapin golf

Lightning - dangerous beauty. Don't mess w/Mother.
