  1. TBH the only shows on Disney + I care about are Andor and Mandalorian. Probably could drop and wait for them to return.
  2. OMG. I’ve had this bundle since it was first offered. And then yesterday everything got totally fucked when I tried to add live TV because my Hulu was being billed through Apple. Have been on multiple calls with all 3 providers (not ESPN) FI hours over the last two days. total shit show. About ready to drop it all.
  3. @sidis, you see, here, unlike with @Lidig8r, you have an authentic troller. If you're wanting to blast someone, by all means please feel free. FWIW I've never met lidig8r but I know who he is based largely on him having revealed himself during the course of the tragic loss of his daughter (who my daughter, DDD [no pics], knew as a contemporary). I gave him a pass on his comments, with which I completely disagreed and assumed were uninformed, because he has not shown himself to troll on this board or Shaggy, and because professionally his reputation is solid. Carry on.
  4. Watched a segment last night on PBS News Hour about complicated black lung (and now silicosis due to modern mining methods). WV really is a depressing place, and Joe Manchin is a big reason why lots of those people continue to suffer terribly both physically and economically. It's apparently estimated that mining-related lung damage reduces average life expectancy by 12 years.
  5. Somehow we never watched the original. Started on it last week. Finished Season 1 last night. Very entertaining.
  6. I dunno. I’m gonna give lidig8r a pass knowing his personal and professional history.
  7. Honestly I have no idea how a panel would deal with this. You've got their traditional pro-employer history clashing with Jesus. I wouldn't want to lay money on either outcome.
  8. According to the judge, he viewed the changing of the wording from the court's injunction to what it said in its memo to employees as willful disobedience. It was a poor call on their part; they should have just taken the language from the order verbatim. The second memo regarding "don't be a dick" and telling its employees that SW disagreed with the decision and would be appealing in my view shouldn't have been sanctionable; court' s order could be viewed as unconstitutional violation of SW and its lawyers' free speech rights. Of course the mandated religious re-education/indoctrination appears to me to be absolutely unconstitutional. I guess we'll see how that moderate, careful thinking Fifth Circuit views it.
  9. I dunno about that. Judges often telegraph their thoughts/leanings. Sometimes more obviously than others. It doesn’t mean they’ve chosen a side necessarily; it usually just offers a window into what’s on their minds.
  10. I just looked over my DirecTV bill. Holy hell I'm paying way too much for this stuff. $170 for channel lineup (all the sports stuff plus HBO/Showtime/Starz), and then another $100 or so for equipment and other BS charges. Just going to Hulu or YTTV will save me at least $150 a month even with add-ons. No brainer.
  11. According to the chart in the article I linked above it has ESPN and ESPN2 but ESPNU costs extra.
  12. Just read a recent CNET article. For my needs it seems like Hulu might be the best option, but I'm going to need to keep digging to compare against YTTV. My living room TV is 4K so YTTV's 4K option (which is nice for some sporting events on DirecTV like the Masters, a lot of bowl games, and the Women's World Cup) is intriguing. Wondering if/when Hulu will offer something similar.
  13. Actually you started it. And to all, sorry for the brief thread drift and longcat. Also, you say "I never said Trump winning is impossible. I've repeatedly said that it is. But anyone who thinks it's "likely" is living in La-la land." Yet you stated, unequivocally, "He will win no more elections. Not in the popular vote, and not in the Electoral College." When South Austin pushed back, you moved the goalposts to say "Possible, yes. Likely? Very much no." So, maybe take a break.
