Can you help a brother out? My Samsung TV is connected to my Yamaha AVR RX-A3070 (HDMI 1 to AV2) from my set-top box and it works perfectly fine. But if I access Amazon Prime/Disney/Paramount/etc. on the TV, I'm not getting any audio output. What am I missing? Do I have to connect another...

I thought I'd start a thread about songs you would like played at your own funeral/wake/etc. I've tasked my daughter with handing out USB sticks at my funeral with my favorite songs of all time. I'm already up to 4-CD's worth of music. :D Here's one of the tracks. Feel free to post your...

Well this didn't take long.

If there is a god I highly doubt Phil Spector will be ‘resting in peace’. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/17/arts/music/phil-spector-dead.html While his contributions and influence on pop/rock are too numerous to mention, as a producer, songwriter, etc., sadly so were his sins as an...

Or specifically, the Turtle, by allowing Senator Liz Cheney to announce she’s ready to vote for impeachment of the president. Is Moscow Mitch [aka the Republicans] ready to forgo 28% of the Trumpista’s base votes and space the president? Impeachment: Republicans begin to turn on Trump If so...

Here’s an interesting documentary about an issue that is getting twisted by the utility companies vs. solar power and by politicians vs. the people. https://www.pbs.org/independentlens/videos/jonathan-scotts-power-trip/?utm_campaign=PowerTrip%2BFullFilm&utm_medium=il%2Bsocial&utm_source=Social...

Interesting video about some general misconception about the US Postal Service. Especially after Mr. DeJoy's blatant attempt to hobble the USPS, to mitigate mail-in voting, never mind the previous laws passed to deregulate the USPS.

Fascinating history/geography of the said Pan-American Highway or the Auto-Piste Americana. Has anyone on the site here traveled this highway? I had always daydreamed of one day doing a section of the road.

I found this article very interesting about robots and AI (artificial intelligence) and the growing fear that many of us may be out of jobs or obsolete [gulp] very soon, especially after this pandemic is over and the collateral damage surely to follow...

Fascinating read. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/explosive-hazard-hiding-african-lake-180976024/?utm_source=smithsoniandaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20201014-daily-responsive&spMailingID=43683728&spUserID=OTA1OTU5NzUzNTU2S0&spJobID=1861201045&spReportId=MTg2MTIwMTA0NQS2

... how we got here.

Another problem that's flying under the radar is the issue of evictions for the elderly, etc. in various states during this pandemic. Only 1/3 of Americans own their homes, mostly with a mortgage. I want to make clear; I AM NOT DEMONIZING LANDLORDS. I have family & good friends who own rental...

Since I turn into a pumpkin after 8 at night (health issues), can anybody give me a synopsis of what happened last night? Don't worry I'll watch it on the intergoogle later on today and make up my own mind. Just trying to get an idea of what you guys thought.

This appeal goes out to the very few on this site who believe it’s a waste of time to cast your ballot in the upcoming presidential election and future elections. It’s been my pleasure to discuss civilly the difficult issues that face our great country at this time on this site with almost...
