    youtube tv for me (had it for a few years now)
    Hmm.....I should consider this. I've heard of YouTube TV of course but never gave it a look to see what it is. But I see it's only like $65 per month, and it has pretty much every channel I would watch on cable. And frankly, I don't even watch cable that much anymore. Yet, I'm paying a $99 cable bill. 

    Now does YouTube TV have capabilities similar to a DVR? For example, can you pause and rewind something you're watching live? I assume you can. Can you record a program like a DVR? I assume you can't.....but also assume that once something has aired, it remains there available to watch? 

    And can you easily change channels? Sounds like a silly question. But is there like a "previous channel" option like cable boxes have?

    Yes to all your questions ledbetter. Like JP said, Youtube TV is the closest thing to cable that's not cable. I really like it. Unlimited dvr. You can customize your guide so you can just get rid of all the channels you don't watch. They do have a previous channel option too. It's a little funky but it let's you see the last 3 channels. 

    I also have Netflix, HboMax, Showtime, Prime, Disney.....fucking all of it. I'm not even sure of the total cost right now but its basically what I was paying before. lol

    Yeah I'm definitely going to try a free trial, and then will likely just get rid of the cable since I'll probably like it. Really, the only thing that was keeping me on cable was live sports. But since YTTV has all the channels I watch anyway, it seems pointless to keep paying an extra $40 a month.

    Best part of YTTV is I can block Fox News from my channel guide.

    YTTV sounds a little better but I already have Hulu and it seems easier to just upgrade that. I think it's no MLB network and DVR not as good - otherwise basically the same. And besides that you can block Fox News (not sure if this works on Hulu), they don't carry those other whacked out fringe "news" networks.

    Also get RedZone with YTTV, if that means anything.

    I saw you can get RZ with Hulu TV. Yeah it means everything. My son is obsessed with it.

    Can someone explain to me how this street makes sense? I was near my parents old house last night (didnt take pic so this is from google) and this street used to be one way. It still is...only now now there is a bike lane IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD going the opposite direction. And the left side is just for parking. So cars have to cross over the bike lane to park. I can't stop thinking about how dumb this looks. It just seems like it's some evil plan to kill some unsuspecting bicyclist. Pretty busy road right off Lancaster Ave too

    That's confusing as hell. Yeah you know when you're all happy in your bike lane some car's gonna suddenly pull out or try to park.

    I remember when it used to be against the law to ride your bicycle against the flow of traffic. Looks like that's no longer the case in some municipalities.

    May as well see the vehicle that sends you to the hospital, I guess.

    Awww hell yeah, now we're getting into the weeds of my shit. Let's keep this convo going.

    This is what happens when government tries to appease everyone without upsetting anyone. How this should work is it should be a one way lane on the right, then parking, then the bike lane.

    I hate sharrows and signs like that that say "May Use Full Lane". It's bad infrastructure. That signs infers that bikes cannot use roads that don't have that sign, same for the roads without sharrows. Bike are allowed the full use of a lane on any road not a highway in PA, with 4 feet of space on the sides and rear.

    Unrelated - this convo, YouTubeTV, that subhuman Clarence Thomas. WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU NERDS?? Take this shit to AMT with THE OTHER WEIRDOS.

    Yeah...it's downhill too. Can you imagine cruising along at a decent speed on your bike when a parked car starts pulling out on your right around the same time another one is moving towards you on your left?!

    Yeah, I've been nearly doored before. It's fucking harrowing. And probably should be a two-way bike lane all the way to the left, too.  And is that still parking on the right side of the road? This is usually why these things end up this way. None of the NIMBYs wants to lose their precious parking.

    EDIT: I'm completely leaving out the time on Pine Street, in the bike lane, a cab drove up the bike lane and ran me over. So that was fun. Can't believe I'm not leading with that.

    That SOB still hasn't resigned. They are corrupt, lawless & extreme. His pal Alito is a Phillies fan - there - we are on thread topic.

    Bike riding - the worst is on "trails". The 4 old ladies walking astride taking up the whole path, the people with the crazy dogs, the kids running every which way. It's crazy. And people wonder why we ride on the roads. And they paved those stupid yellow line rumble strips, and cars don't want to cross the yellow line to give the legally mandated 4' clearance (which nobody knows about anyway). And that edge of the road where you're supposed to ride is all torn up and hasn't been paved in 35 years. Most drivers are pretty nice but you get the random pick-up just lay on their horn and scare the hell out of you. I mean, this is all just to get some damn exercise. Or god forbid commute or use your bike to go somewhere.

    Speaking of subhuman - put a cyclist in front of someone driving a car and watch them turn into an ape hollllyy shit. Just foaming at the mouth crazy, they are one form with their car.

    West Wayne Ave....around the block from where they showed that PJ20 movie back in the day. I think I remember you seeing it there?

    My dad actually thinks one of his old nutjob neighbor was behind this idea as he relentlessly pushed for a similar lane on their street a few years back before they moved.

    Yeah there's like 5 metered spots on the bottom right of the picture where that van is. No idea what that red car think's he's doing though. 

    You got run over?! I actually got hit by a Hummer drunkingly walking out of a bar in Old City at 2 in the morning like twenty years ago. lol

    The ol' Anthony Wayne, yes, the Immagine in Cornice film it was. Yep, when I lived in Berwyn, very familiar with the area. Too many nights spent at Cabrini, even though I didn't go there, and DJing at the Great American Pub.
