Netflix finally got us

we been FBmoochSC'in our way through life, using the in-laws Netflix account until they caught up to us over the weekend.
I've thought about setting up a VPN just to stick it to the man, but that would be way outside the realm of possibility w/ my in-laws.
So for now, we're just going to do without and slum it like the before times.

On a positive note, a book series I really liked reading is now a show on Apple TV. Silo is the name of the show - the first book in the series was called Wool. If you like sci-fi type stuff it's a good series to read and so far the show has done a good job translating it to TV.

in the past, but I make hardly any financial decisions based on capacity, as it isn't really a limiting factor (outside of maybe purchasing the 42' Yellowfin I want). I'm a man of principle.
It's not whether or not I can afford the $23 / month, or whatever it costs, it's that I despise giving margin to cocksucking organizations that I can't ####### stand. Working man getting a death by 1,000 cuts treatment over here.
And no, we are on our own phone plan. I've been on my own phone plan since I graduated HS.

Its not like if you don't renew you'll be missing anything.

Maybe you can, but I can't find anything on Netflix of any value to watch.
$13/month is much better spent on YouTube Premium.

the Painkillers show was good, that was the last one we watched.
If it were up to me, I'd can all of it outside of PGA Pass and live football. But it's not ha, so here we are.

Are you me? My wife and I had the same conversation.

Her: "we have to get Netflix so I can watch the shows I like."
Me: "Can you name one Netflix show that you are actually following?"
She couldn't, though she later mentioned several of those truly awful ones that are just mindless junk.

While we're speaksin of Sky-Phi books, Bradbury called this out in Fahrenheit 451 talking about the wife's addiction to the wall sized tv's and the mindless drivel pumping through them.
"Well, wasn’t there a wall between him and Mildred, when you came down to it? Literally not just one wall but, so far, three! And expensive, too."
I think about that every time I find wife of watching mindless reality tv

used to be on NBC / Peacock
now it's ESPN+
I'm not sure where it will be for 24...
It was a better product on NBC, plus it was great b/c you could get EPL + PGA with basically one subscription. And, obviously, I hate ESPN.

PS still VPN.
And, your clarity, it's not just Netflix. It's everything really. Except good live TV. Struggles with that. TapTV works sometimes, but can be blurry
Good hunting
