    Heather is the writer who finally got me to appreciate speed-running culture.  I hope somebody picks up at that torch and carries it as well as she does.

    Does Plex take out or limit the commercials? Because without that Crackle SUCKS. I tried to watch Lawrence of Arabia there a couple of weeks ago (because it’s the only streaming service with the movie) and I only made it a half-hour in because what was already a three-and-a-half hour movie was getting interrupted with

    Bah! Of course, you’re right. I guess my brain wasn’t working yesterday.

    Northern Exposure aired on CBS, but it looks like it was a Universal Studios production meaning, that if it ends up anywhere, it’ll likely be on NBC’s Peacock service.

    Doesn’t it kind of depend on how much and how you would use the money otherwise?

    NBC News and the Wall Street Journal ran a poll today where they polled head-to-head matchups with Trump for each of the six major candidates except for Warren. There was no explanation for why she was excluded. 

    This! This! This! You want surgical masks, which have the wire. Then you just pinch the wire around your nose and no more fogging.

    I do think there’s something to be said about the moving goalposts on some of these runs. Getting to the end cutscene never used to be the end point of an OOT run, it was when you made the last hit on Ganon. Triggering the end cut scene is a fine-enough choice but it seems kind of weird to change the ultimate goal of

    So, what is Kinja doing? Because the first comment on this article from last week is from somebody spreading the lie that people have died of coronavirus here in the US.

    Nobody in the US has died from the coronavirus. In fact, not a single death has been recorded outside of China.  Please stop spreading misinformation.

    It’s crazy. Our baby was born prematurely and is very susceptible to respiratory infections so we’re hypervigilant about colds and illness and our pulmonologist said the number one thing you can do to prevent spreading colds is to not touch your eyes or nose unless you’ve just washed your hands.

    Seems like this would be a good use for a secured credit card. Get them a secured credit card with a really low limit (I think my first was $300). That way, they can never spend so much that it will break you and you don’t have to worry about unexpected expenses coming up on your statement.

    I’m really happy with Hulu Live, though we were already heavy Hulu users. YouTube TV has been fine the couple of times I’ve tried it. I just love the way Hulu integrates everything into their interface. I wish it had AMC and BBC America, but I can live without a few channels, since I’ll get their shows eventually

    Given that they explicitly recommend YouTube TV in their cancellation announcement, my guess is that they signed a deal to give them exclusivity on the platform, at least for a while.

    Only for new shows.  The existing shows are still going to Netflix.  New shows (like Batwoman and Nancy Drew) have their full seasons available on The CW’s site and will then go to HBO Max or CBS All Access, depending on the show.

    As a librarian, it surprises me how often I have to say something similar to this, but: A book is not the thing. A book is a physical representation of the thing. When you recycle a book (which I assume he’s doing with these eventually), you are not destroying the information inside, you are only destroying one

    I feel it’s important to note one thing: the average person does not pay $7.69/mo in bank fees. The average person pays nothing in bank fees because, according to this same survey, 73 percent of people don’t pay any bank fees.

    I would argue that what describe as “Millennial approaches to life” are an adaptation to the problems of housing cost and student debt rather than a pure choice, but then we’re getting into a “chicken and the egg” problem that I don’t think has a clear answer.
