2019-Whenever Misc. Grab Bag Thread

No idea about that, but it looks like YTTV came up with a short term agreement with Paramount that avoids an immediate shutdown.

Meh, after the latest price increase which was pushing me close to $90 a month for YTTV, I cancelled and got Sling TV Orange and Blue and added their news package. The three month subscription discount brings me to $58 per month.

If I need CBS or NBC I'll subscribe to Paramount Plus or Peacock. Can get both of those with a Cash Back offer with my credit card.

What's going on at Canes Country? Do they not have writers anymore? Did they all get laid off? They're not even doing daily posts or open threads anymore. Weird.

They still post once in a blue moon, but it does seem to be on life support

Which is odd because the comments section is still very active.

As long as my plane can land tomorrow night…

 

[NoMich]

Oh, it'll land. Somewhere and at some angle, but it *will* land.

Oh, it'll land. Somewhere and at some angle, but it *will* land.

Hopefully with the shiny side up.

As long as my departure on Thursday morning doesn't get cancelled...

I don't think we're going to get enough ice to shut down RDU*, so I think you guys will be OK. Your only real problem will be the side streets that you may need to access to get into/out of your neighborhood.

*please Heikki Lunta, do not curse us with too much ice, I beg of thee!

Yooper fist-bumps for the Heikki Lunta reference!

Should be fine. This pretty, fluffy stuff doesn't tend to stick around long enough to cause any lasting damage to normal operations ... at least, not usually. As always, we'll see how it goes.

My wife is positively giddy with her dumb bird feeder camera right now though.

Well, your strange, Finnish snow god didn't stop Air Canada from already cancelling my morning flight.

Gravity is still undefeated.

Pretty, fluffy snow brings such memories.

Damned glad it didn't kill me!

That's nuts!

I changed my flight to Friday, just to be safe.

I was going to fly to TO on Saturday for the game but swapped it to Friday just in case (weeks ago) - now I'm glad I did as Pearson appears to still be behind. I also have the 1st flight out of the day so that'll help everything but my sleep tonight.
