Don’t think you can email an app. I did try to “share” it but the link just says the app doesn’t exist anymore when I tried it.

I will continue the good fight for you. Lol

Re: Off-Topic

Are you on iOS or Android? If iOS, then it would be more difficult to send the app. If Android, every app should have an “.APK” file on your phone. Plug it into your PC if you cannot find it through standard search then search for common names for it, which would be “OS.apk”, “OperationSports.apk”, or something along those lines.

Once you find it, COPY it (and its entire directory) then paste it into another folder. You can then ZIP that folder and send it all as one zipped file.

I would assist, but I am on iOS and use Tapatalk. I have used it with other boards for awhile now. The OS app was really nice, though.

Steve, if you read this, how much would it cost to get the app back up and running for iOS and Android? I could likely help out with that soon.

Re: Off-Topic

It’s been removed for a while now. I think I’m the last one who still has it and uses it. Still functions somehow.

$5 and I’ll let ya in lol

I still have the android one.

I use it to post pictures on OS. I didn't know it was no longer available.

Re: Off-Topic

Yeah, the license for the app expired a while ago and Steve had said they weren't going to renew it since OS is going to a completely different forum package. Of course, who knows when that switchover to new forum software will occur a it has been talked about for years now.

Re: Off-Topic

This is probably the most interesting thing I've seen:

Bulldog Basto (A-) was personally touting how good his fantasy football draft grade was in a group chat, and I responded by saying "Historically, in my experience, it has provided no strong correlation with respect to the final outcome." I wasn't just saying that because of my D+ grade, it's true.

And oh, how true it has been so far this year.





The bottom four by draft grade are also the top four in playoff contention right now.

All this being said, I'm facing Bulldog Basto this week, and he'll outscore me in a tie-breaker. 2 & 4 are also facing each other, and I'm virtually identical in points this year to them. If I lose in Week 15, to win I must outscore the loser of that other matchup. If I win, the playoff picture stays as is (unless some seeding changes). I actually hope I win more just to keep that draft grade thing intact than anything else, haha.

Re: Off-Topic

My league goes nuts for the draft grades and I’ve never cared either. I was 12th out of 12 in my top league, finished 4th this year. Actually having a fantasy renaissance, made/making playoffs in all 3 leagues (of varying levels of competitiveness) and atop my fantasy hockey league too after knocking off the top dog this past week.

Maybe I’ll make back the last 4 years of dues, lol.

Re: Off-Topic

Yeah, those draft grades are about as meaningful and predictive as the NFL preseason.

One year me and another guy were predicted to finish 1st and 2nd in our league and we did end up meeting in the playoffs ... in the consolation bracket ... for 11th place

Re: Off-Topic

Good news: Sounds like there's at least talks to eventually end time changing once the new presidency happens

Bad news: THIS is the time that would be kept (standard time)

I like the daylight savings (the time we see from March-November) more.

Under this current standard time if it were to stick, peak sunrise in a place like NYC in June would be 4:25am and sunset would be 7:30pm. Who wants that?!

If daylight savings time became the norm, then December in somewhere like NYC would currently have sunrise around 8:10am and sunset around 5:30pm.

I'd much rather that than sunrises before 5am. What are we, farmers? Isn't that why this time change happened to begin with?

Later sunrises in winter in exchange for a later sunset is more worth it than making it sunnier during a time where majority of people are still sleeping.

It would suck having it darker early in the morning, but given that 8-10 is considered peak morning rush hour and 4-6 is considered peak evening rush hour, wouldn't it make more sense for it to be sunny for more of those hours than it being sunny by 7:30am in the winter and dark by 4:30pm?


Businesses I'd imagine would prefer that too. If it gets dark later in the evening, people are more likely to shop/go out places a bit later than just wanting to go home because it's already dark before they even leave work.

Re: Off-Topic

Outside of the couple days where your body adjusts to the time change I can't say I ever gave it much thought. Keep it, scrap it, whatever.

Re: Off-Topic

I would rather have dark in the morning than earlier in the evening but ultimately I'm like Smashman, keep it, scrap it, whatever. In my opinion too many people make a bigger deal out of it than it is.

Re: Off-Topic

Keep it as it is.

Re: Off-Topic

I feel that, brand awareness aside, most perfume TV ads are such a waste. 15 seconds of a lady running through a savanna or whatever is supposed to make me buy that? Oh look, Channing Tatum grabbing an arrow, great, guess I got to buy Eros by Versace?

Now, I understand that these 15 seconds, 30 seconds ads are usually clips of 1 minute or 2 minute "short films", but I'm not seeing the short films in those 15/30 seconds, so what's the point!

You can't smell through an ad, so instead perfume ads try to describe what the fragrance is trying to "achieve" through movement/action, but so many of them seem to fall short.

That said, this one is a thing of beauty.
