My “narrow use case” is the only thing I give two shits about watching is NBA basketball, so any streaming-TV service that offers me ESPN, TNT, and NBA TV (I have League Pass for Pacers games) is worth more to me than a cable subscription.

With the $10 tier you only get ads with live broadcast because it is just a retransmission of TV broadcast. The ad breaks are already in it. If you only watch the library it’s ad free.

Hey, don’t forget the episodes of Murder She Wrote, PGA golf, and Matlock.
Do you know how hard it is to get to sleep these days? $10 is worth a good night’s rest!

I thought Hulu was created for this purpose?  A giant streaming service coop with the broadcast corps.

It’s all about a good, new flagship show and a price low enough for me to forget I even subscribe to it when the monthly payment hits.

I will say this until I’m blue in the face but the Master should’ve been the Timeless Child.

No, but the vision of what sounds like a frankly disgusting number of fruit flies in a small space adds a nice little frisson of terror.

So, next steps in the experiment:

Well, research like this tells us a lot about how spiders go about doing what they do, which has potential benefits for everything from biology to architecture. The interesting part of this (for me at least) is that animal physiology and behavior often informs our own scientific progress when it comes to all sorts of…

Spiders in zero gravity is like a nightmare come to life man. All the nopes!

Every time I hear “The show should have ended after season 5" I think of some of their best episodes happening after that. So many great characters added. Yes, it’s not all perfect, but it’s definitely a bonus overall. After watching “Baby” in season 11, all I could think was “How many shows can be putting out some of…

I try to keep in mind these are the economic geniuses that thought lending Donald Trump hundreds of millions of dollars was a good idea. 

This might be the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever heard. Maybe you can tax the companies who employ those who work from home, since they are saving money by not having to provide as much office space, office supplies, technology (network bandwidth), etc.

Or she’s in the middle of filming in a wig and was on a break

She is acting in a role where she has to wear a wig (see her Instagram post from 10/28/2020).  The wig needs to fit to her head tightly and braiding your hair close to your head is one of the best ways to do that.  

You should get your eyes checked then.

I know I’m Biased towards the GTI, but FUCK ME is this thing ugly.

I just got rid of my VW sportwagen with 138,000 miles on it. I just couldn’t take the stress of knowing that while sure, it’s been basically rock solid for 8 years, at any moment it could just kerplode in some exotically weird and unnatural way.

Oh sure, with that many miles you KNOW a subaru will need X, or a toyota…

Garbage is the wrong word! Ruinous, yes, I agree with you. But when they work, they’re great!

Dang, I did not need to read this story today. Let’s see, my wife’s van hasn’t had a transmission flush ever. My daughter keeps forgetting to do oil changes and I snapped off a nipple on the radiator and fixed it with epoxy and hope. The washing machine has a broken spring and seems to be made of razor blades when I…
