Sling TV update: I upgraded to get NFL Redzone. Now I don't have ESPN or any other ESPN channels, which I watch Gator football games on. I have to downgrade to get ESPN, which means I lose NFL Redzone.

Maybe I'm wrong and not reading the packages correctly though. But if I'm right this is stupid.

You get one or the other or you pay $40 for both. There are channels that don't carry over to the $25 package from the $20 one. Disney/nick jr. swap out too, only noticed because they're between cartoon network and cnn.

I've had the weathernation free preview for like, a month now. It loving sucks and looks like weather channel from the 90s, but it's better than nothing. And they have a PAC12 package preview up for me also, not that I give a poo poo.

It's not sudden. He is not on the spectrum either. It's been diagnosed as ODD and some sensory issues. The new school year could be part of the problem this weekend but it's been a smoldering fuse for about two years right now. We got a lot of family support (manly my mother in law is a retired special ed teacher and lives next door) so it's not as bad as it could be.

Also bringing coffee and wine to your kid's school teachers is almost as good as having a 504 plan but now we got both!

I guess that's still $5 less than PSVue to have both. Still lame though.

We sell sling where I work and you either went with orange or blue. You can combine both at a bundle cost that you can change whenever the gently caress you want. The best deal on new sling can be had by calling in the order to get the 7 free days plus prepaying for two months in order to get the Roku stick at no cost or taking the discount on the Roku premier plus. DO NOT GET THE AIRTV ITS poo poo.

Also you can only have one device viewing channels that are owned by Disney. I think you can have up to four on anything else.

After work today I stopped by the grocery store to get something for dinner. You know how they tend to have those cheap dumb gossip/weight loss magazines for lonely old ladies in a stand by the register? Suddenly an older dude in front of me with a dad mustache looks at me, points at the magazines, and and informs me "what they don't tell you is how many people Hillary Clinton had assassinated!". He then went on some incoherent tangent about how Obama really holds Indonesian citizenship, was actually born in Kenya, about how there were left wing antagonists in Charlottesville wearing KKK shirts trying to frame the :airquote: nazis :airquote:, all while the lady in front us in line is having some prolonged argument with the cashier about some loving coupons or some poo poo.

I think it's Amazon Fresh and Peapod for me from here on after.

Yeah I got the roku stick package. I was running into the issue this morning and only had time to poke around the website for a couple minutes and only saw the orange and blue deals. I'll take another look here shortly.

I was really looking forward to $25/mo though :(

Tell you what though since we don't get discounts since we are subcontracted (dish Network owns sling) you could sell off a share of your account similar to how a gently caress ton of us buy into Amazon prime/ Netflix accounts. Just make sure the people you sell shares to know to stay the gently caress off your channels. Also I know that the directvtv stream thing let's you get nfl Sunday ticket with an active .edu email for $80

i am going redzone only this season since i don't have enough faith in the bucs to pay money to watch them. this will be the year they make the playoffs just to spite me.

i did something similar to what i think you're talking about with chegg. costs $15/mo and i was charging kids $5/mo to use it. i was clearing $40-50 profit every month last semester.

if you're a student and you go to a big school, you could probably clear a few hundred easy.

You work at sling?

Can you get someone on fixing feed drops (xbox one, specifically)? I'll be at the end of an episode of whatever and the screen just goes black until I turn on the controller and back out to the menu or change the channel, meanwhile whatever episode was on next jumped feeds.

I think I pay like $20 a year for prime access (no tv) and my last tenant has me on Netflix. Beyond that I pay $10 a month for YouTube red just so I can have the loving cellphone screen off while crushing it.

I work for a subcontractor of dish network that has a sales contract. I only know about sling because we run it on a few big screens and we have a team dedicated to selling it over the phone. I'll ask around if anyone on that team has the same issue to see if they found a solution but we don't do customer service in house so I'm limited. I don't have a phone or email for my team it's loving weird and cool. I can sell sling bit only if my inbounds don't qualify for anything else so lol.

Anywho glad that's your only problem. I'm giving pa a kidney in a few months hence I can't enlist lol.

Buddy we talked face to face in a Walmart parking lot and then later on the bonaroo grounds you gave sage advice about how to not hate life in my 40s which as you said: kill the boozing. Then in my fortune the old guard in camp shut off the intake valve of future psychodrugs (never did them before).

Biggest bitch I have now is even though I still think workings two jobs and shoveling crippled neighbors drives builds character I still don't know what to do besides saving 90% after tax including living cost and buying a house/land outright and bringing in a vetted tenant with the purpose of covering property tax and 10% less of their technical share of the utilities as an incentive for a sweet rear end place to keep a bedroom.

Also to the other guy. Do some classic Wisconsin anticommunist poo poo with air horns and prerecorded doctrine poo poo that leads him to duck and cover/choring. It's a loving shame that he speaks in tongues while he sleeps *hint* little poo poo needs to learn the dot dot head way. I'm glad I got to drink tonight.

Wait, I gave sage advice? Was I cooking at the time and talking about seasoning?

I kid. Man, that's been a while now. I'm having a hard time painting a picture, but I know I spent a good deal of time hanging out in walmart parking lots for bonnaroo like '07-09. Glad I managed up something helpful. Most of the time I'm talking wildly out of my rear end.

Anywhere you want?

Seriously, any urge to move on, start your own thing, or play it safe and retire early?

I don't know, man. Masters of our own destinies and all. Do what feels right.

Take a vacation and relax for a bit. Might be asking the wrong person altogether. I mean, I've displayed enough trainwreck qualities here that I'm probably the last persons' advice you'd want now.

I guess my going thing (on bad dates and in worsd conversations) is that money is only going to make you so happy, find another outlet to fill the void. Maybe dial it back on the job count, but that's all you.
