No, it’s not. But thank you for sharing.

Dude, just rotate your subscriptions. We subscribed to HBO this summer, which allowed us to watch Game of Thrones and catch up on Westworld and Big Little Lies. Then we canceled HBO and subscribed to Starz, which lets us watch Outlander and catch up on Survivor’s Remorse. Outlander will end and we’ll switch to CBS to…

It’s $6/mo with commercials so, watched in real time, it will cost you $18. Or you could wait until the first 9 episodes have aired and subscribe for one month for $6 and binge the ones you missed.

“Extortion”? What extortion? They made a product and are asking people to pay for it. You’re certainly welcome to not consume it.

I mean, it’s not really going to “crash,” so much as burn up and be torn apart by the planet’s atmosphere.

That...is...literally the entire point of this article.

That’s not remotely analogous to the situation and you know that.

For about seven years, part of my job was to be the librarian who decides what donated books get added to the collection. The advice I always give to people is to ask themselves why they want to get rid of their book(s). Is it because it’s old and taking up space on your shelf and you just don’t want it anymore? …

As somebody else recommended, Better World Books will take most things, if there’s a drop box near you.

Agreed. I’ve looked into getting a Tivo, but commercial-free Hulu is $12/mo and gets me everything on NBC, ABC, and Fox without commercials. The CBS and CW apps have ads but they’re not that intrusive and are usually quite a bit shorter than broadcast ad breaks. And they’re free.

Joe Walsh had himself an entire career today. It was kind of amazing, in a horrible, racist kind of way.

I am no expert, but I can give the basic outline.

I’ve been trying to not to get all hipstery with the “You haven’t really seen an eclipse until you’ve seen the totality,” but this was my first total eclipse and it really is spectacular to see the totality.

Can somebody explain the scoring to me. Isn’t a 6-4 tiebreaker in the third set the end? Why do they play another game?

“Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, sir?”

This was always how it was going to end. Streaming utopiists never understood how the financial side of the media world works. There’s only like a dozen content-creating companies out there and it was always going to be in their best interests to create their own media universes, rather than leasing their content…

That’s stupid. This isn’t high school (or maybe it is based on this article). If you get me to my destination on time in a car that’s clean and doesn’t smell like cigarettes, you get five stars. There’s literally nothing else I could have reasonably asked for.

I’ve owned multiple versions of this game and had never seen the fifth level before today.

From a little Googling, it looks like they run on a patron-driven acquisition model rather than a true streaming model.

Because the purpose is to get a representative sample, and you would miss the increasing number of homes (about 10%) that don’t have cable/sat or the 50% of homes that don’t have DVRs.
