JediTalentAgent posted:Local broadcast TV. For that matter, digital antennas. Oh, yeah, the picture on over-the-air TV is fantastic now -- WHEN you can get a signal. But it's like satellite: if your antenna isn't positioned JUST RIGHT, or it's rainy, or cloudy, or windy, or overcast, or dark, or sunny, or you're standing in the wrong spot, just forget it. You might have gotten fewer channels and a shittier picture with a pair of rabbit ears, but at least you could actually get a broadcast.

AC Moore was always the better crafting store. Pissed me off a right much when Michael's bought them and then shut them all down. I used to hit AC Moore for stuff all the time. I don't go to Michael's at all. gently caress Hobby Lobby too, but that goes without saying.

For people with certain types of vision problems, dark mode can actually make things more difficult to read.
