don't they migrate to mexico lol?

it's still near 60 and the fog lifted and now it's sunny

Wait, he joined the day before the Boxing Day Blizzard? Awesome lol

which one were you at with Giants, Green Bay? Eli -1 (vs Favre) or Eli-2 (vs Rodgers)? He didn't have any problems in either game lol.

If I wanted to go to a sporting event in that kind of weather I'd bring battery powered feet warmers.

Yeah I don't miss single degree and below zero temps. If we could get enough snow, I wouldn't mind not getting temps below the teens.

I don't lol. I scroll it on my computer (up and down on a dual screen display and each monitor is a 5:4 1280x1024 display.)

Optimum has a new thing called the "wireless cable box" which is sort of like a halfway point between streaming and an actual wired cable box, but I'm not sure how well it will sell (on the positive side, one box covers all your TVs, but I'm not sure how this works if you want to have a different show or game on each TV.) I like Sling TV I was considering them, especially since they package the same networks I get on cable.

wow 117 is pretty good, who do you get your service from at 117? for that price I might consider switching too. calling them every year is tiring... especially since I usually have to make multiple calls since the first person I talk to usually says they don't have any current "plans" to offer me.

and the birds are chirping, I even see robins outside.

phones have advanced technologically by leaps and bounds, but it seems like the people who take pictures still want to hold them vertically when you're supposed to hold them horizontally when taking a picture (unless you're trying to take a portrait.) For when you're away from home and watching a game-- there really is no substitute.

No, but they tried to get me to pay 220 lol. But at the end of every year I call and threaten to cancel and they reduce my bill back down to 160 lol. I read that on a cablevision forum, call them and tell them you'll cancel their services and they'll lower your bill back down to what it was before.

I'd get them when they are offered by Optimum (my cable provider), they said they would in the near future. These streaming services need to be regulated properly-- the government should tax them just like cable and other telecoms get taxed.

Netflix has this new ad supported cheaper service that a lot of people are signing up for. I would sign up for it (if/when) these services are offered by Optimum. They said they would do so in the near future.

or get amazon prime for a few Yankees regular season games lol

I have a smart TV it doesn't work for some reason because wifi here is bad and it doesn't detect a connection. There are major advantages to cable-- mine is packaged (phone, internet, TV), so with just one bill I get 200 channels of TV, gigabit internet and flat rate phone service for all the US and Canada

especially since it comes from NBC. they make too much money as it is.

I believe each tool as a purpose, a phone is for making phone calls, a camera is for taking pictures, a computer is for..... computing lol, a television is for watching television. This isn't old fashioned, it's called specialization. I can't tell you how many idiots I know who have no idea how to hold a camera because they hold a phone vertically. These are people of average intelligence (boring) with below average knowledge. If they had more specialized tools they'd actually learn how to use things and develop real skills. I still do math in my head (don't need electronic devices), and another reason I'm glad I grew up before cell phones is because cell phones have been proven to cause brain developmental issues... I fear we're going to have a whole generation of kids who will grow up not knowing how to think properly-- we already have people whose faces are glued to their phone as they walk (or even worse, drive.) I made a conscious decision to get rid of my cellphone and all credit cards, because I don't want to be a slave to this modern addiction.

as long as it's sunny it's good we just dont want the rain, fog, mist, crap

Imagine if there was a game at that time in Green Bay or Minneapolis lol, it would probably set the new cold record.

The last two springs have been pretty good though, dry and very warm and low humidity and not much rain-- this is why my allergies have gotten much less-- but they come back in summer when it rains lol

Yeah but people do watch Cable TV. I would rather the game was on ESPN. No one wants to watch these games on their phone or computer.

I agree-- streaming services actually cost more if you want to see the same level of different kinds of programming. also, I don't want to watch TV on my phone.

I'd rather just skip the games altogether. When I'm online I'm not thinking of watching TV lol.

What's the advantage of streaming? It actually costs more to stream than cable TV costs to get all the same networks. I'd rather have cable. Plus who watches sports on their phone?
