Just enough to feel blah, but not actually sick. Hate hate hate sinus drainage, the inability to swallow, and the raw throat that comes with it. Blargh.

Applebees Appetizer posted:All of my April Fools attempts have failed so far In response to your post in the last thread about cutting cable, I went internet only and bought a leaf antenna. It worked great for the super bowl, and I haven't used it since so I gave it away. My friends didn't use it so they gave it back and now it's in a storage bin. I'll dig it out if I want to watch broadcast again.

cable chat: In 1998 I moved out on my own and got my first apartment. I could afford either internet or television, so I went with internet. Around 2001 I moved and subsequently went with a different provider, they had the 1-year internet/tv special thing so I had tv again, but then realized how much I didn't actually miss it since I watched maybe 3-5 things the whole year, then canceled after the free period was over. Slowly over the years, I've been joining other services though like Netflix/Hulu/Prime/Spotify and we now live in a world that if you want to watch it, there's no reason for cable anyway, it's just a natural progression of services unless you live in a rural area that internet is a secondary thought.

Looks like I'm definitely going to cut the cord, but my only internet providers are Spectrum and Frontier....Which is the lesser of two evils?

Sadly, the costs and annoyance of cable is creeping in again, as every content-producer seems to have decided that they need their own service. $10/month is fine. 2 x $10/month is tolerable. But now we have, what? Netflix, HULU, Prime, CBS All Access, Disney, DC Universe (I'm surprised Marvel doesn't have its own... oh, right. Disney) and several movie services (most of which can be combined with Movies Anywhere, thankfully.)

Try having a birthday on April Fools. Re ISP chat, I have Spectrum (for now at least, they're getting kicked out of NYS for being terrible) and while yes, they're terrible we get pretty close to advertised speeds most of the time. They're also the only game in town, so woo for that.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss... I hear ya, the ones I subscribe to legit are netflix and spotify, hulu is just a nice side effect of a spotify subscription and prime video is a nice side effect of the amazon store. I only use prime maybe once a month, mostly due to its absolutely horrendous design UI choices. That said, I get the horrendous layout decision so people can look for a movie/show to watch and Amazon can sell them more rentals since selection is limited yet expanding. However, I'd absolutely love to see a Prime Video ie free content with paid Prime subscription that is separate from the Amazon rental store side. It just pisses me off going to prime video, looking for something, clicking on it, then see "rent for $3.99!!!" goddamnit, I came here for prime content, not rental content...

If those are your choices then Spectrum 100%, but they are lying thieves just like the rest of them. Just better internet and service than Frontier (weirdly those are our two choices here).

Just better internet and service than Frontier (weirdly those are our two choices here). After doing the ATT/Comcast/rural WISP shuffle, I'm super happy with Spectrum. Started back on at 60mbit 4 years ago, 2 years ago updated to 100mbit for the same price, then bumped to 250mbit for $5 more all with unlimited bandwidth. ATT had a 150GB cap before having to throw money at them, Comcast was 250GB, WISP contract was signed as unlimited, but they also had a writer at the end like every other provider that said they can modify anytime without any notifications so they imposed a 100GB bandwidth cap, which $70 for 10mbit/1mbit to begin is what made me cancel service.

I'm sure after cutting cable they are gonna want to gently caress me with internet payments if they can. I have Spectrum now with the package, cutting cable and phone, I'm sure they are gonna bag and plead for me not to do it and quote me a lovely price for just internet and be like "see? it's just better to have the package".

Well right now I am getting ripped off and I am paying about $70, but you should definitely at least for the first year get internet for around $40, $50 max. Also look into their business internet if they would install that at your house supposedly that never goes up in price.

Re: cord cutting, I've had nothing bad to say about Spectrum since they took over for TWC here in Ohio. They over doubled my down speed (went from 40 to 100 down) and reduced my monthly bill from $85 to $60/month. Plus service disruptions are fewer and when I need service they're much faster to get a tech out to me. For services we use Netflix (4k with multiple screens, $17/month), no-ad Hulu w/HBO add-on (same price/features as HBO Now but with a better UI - $29/month), Prime video ($13/month, although that's not just for video) with any remaining gaps filled by my parents' Directv credentials and the occasional  for obscure/random stuff not available via streaming services. Granted we pay about as much as a mid-tier cable or satellite package, but it's not 40% commercials like broadcast TV and we decide the schedule.

So just over a week ago my wifes aunt unexpectedly passed away. 79 years old, but was very active and healthy so quite surprised... espescially considering another aunt (her sister) is not doing well and wouldn't be a surprise at all if she passed. Anyhow, funeral was this AM. Afterwards at the gathering afterwards I chatted with a different aunt and gave my condolences to losing her sister. She said to me: "You know, she passed away over a week ago. More than a week! I expected the funeral to be last week. I mean, how long are they going to keep the body on ice? And when I found out today was the funeral, April fools day, I was almost convinced she was pulling a prank and going to come out during the service and say GOT YA to everyone. But, uh, she didn't " and her eyes got all shiny and started to well up.drat. Would have been an epic gag but I felt pretty bad for her having her hopes up until literally the last moment.

Dude is now in CA, if there would have been a police report or any actual allegations of rape anytime within the week after he was in CO and still living with other SA dude and wife and kid at their house, he would not be in CA. There's plenty of doubt on both sides of the coin and god knows the chat logs with other SA'ers to go with it, however, it is what it is. Essentially at this point, no charges filed and both parties involved and AI went their own ways.
