Isn't the whole problem that, since nobody openly talks about providers, nobody knows who the originals are? Of course, everyone can claim to be the guy at the top, but who knows?

I don't have a PW, but I'm looking at them. Does Airplane Mode stop you from using any tools, or is it smooth sailing?

They both appear to have 8GB. The firestick comes with a lot of bloatware, though. If the TV Box doesn't, that might work.

Want the list of the 167 banned ones. Those are obviously the ones that won't cave to the pressure.

Curious about this, too. I can't fit stremio and iptv on my firestick, so I'm hoping to find something bigger, but cheaper than a Shield.

Pour em in the pot, fill with water about an inch over the top of the beans. 40 mins, and pull em, or 30 mins with 15 min natural release (recommended, but I almost never do it).

Probably not frugal, but instant pot changed my life, in regards to soaking beans. What a time/effort saver.

I was under the impression that bread makers don't actually save money, they just make better bread for the same money.

West Virginia, or something?

Can only speak for me, and the people I talk to, but the rates are less the issue. It certainly factors in, but the high total costs with no adjustments to wages means we've fallen into a gray zone where we really don't want to rent, but are forced to. I work in a hospital, and the people over ~40 are in houses that they are deathly afraid to get out of, and those of us under ~40 are renting, hoping something changes, or an asteroid strikes. Either one would be good, now.

 

The only way I can see switching my Luddite family off of the streaming sites is by making it easier. Up until now, I've torrented the old fashioned way, but now I'm moving into plex (ik, ik, jellyfin is better) and want to start using the -arrs. As I understand it, which I'm not sure I do, the -arrs will automatically grab torrents. In my mind, this would eat up a TB pretty quickly. Do you guys all have massive SSDs (heh), or am I misunderstanding?
