Made the mistake of venturing into conservative “safe spaces” and it honestly makes me feel crazy because their arguments and “logic” are stretched so far. It’s like an alternate universe of absolute insanity. What would it take for these people to believe that maybe the guy who has always been a grifter is actually still a grifter? Why are people putting all their hopes and trust into someone like this man? It really hurts my head and, honestly, my heart, especially when I see some family members falling victim to this nonsense.

Wow. Now that’s a reference I have heard in a long time. More input, Number 5!

Yes. There is a legit plex app on fire stick and roku. It comes with free live TV and on Demand content, but you can also run your own server on your network with your own downloaded content. If you have an IPTV service you can stream that through plex as well.

Note that Jellyfin is a similar app/server that works the same way and is totally free. Plex is also free, but there are additional features behind the pay wall like GPU decoding, PVR service for IPTV, and others.

I actually just recently, after years of frustration, figured out a technique that works. You squeeze the box near the opening so that it bulges out. Then you can poke it with your finger and rip the top open. Feels like gutting a fish, which I assume now is what they were going for.

4 year olds, man. They’re ruthless.

dude, wtf? That literally happened to me today. I was bringing my kid a bowl of strawberries when I stepped right on top of a little toy house. Me on the floor. Strawberries all over the place. And all my kid could say was “wow, that was scary,” and then went back to playing. Savage.

Yes, true. I was specifically referring to streaming of non-live content.

To your second paragraph, that’s a good question. I work for a company that provides live linear streaming along with our non-linear service, and last I heard, the live stream still had the majority share of views. I was a little surprised by that because of the size of the VOD offering, but then I remember how people just love throwing on the TV for noise and not think of it.

Further to that, I occasionally use Pluto, and I find that it’s often easier to just throw on the South Park live channel vs. navigating to the VOD channel and picking an episode. Maybe I’m just one of those old people. Lol.

Would it blow your mind to know that streaming/VOD is also known as “Non-linear TV”? 😁
