home theater, cord cutting, video streaming, a/v tech, and more!

Finally took my comcrap equipment back and canceled cable and downgraded my internet (I don't really need 800mbps). Bill went from $250 to $80. They are such a rip off but it's my own fault for keeping it as long as I did.

I heard a house member saying this new antisemitism law will penalize (not sure how) anyone calling for the end of Israel as a state.

Huh? Not that I agree with the sentiment, but that seems crazy.

I'd like to know the % of the student population that's involved in these protests.

My guess it's very low and some of these protestors are not students.

@count2infinity, any of this going on at PSU?

And it's never the executives (the ones who came up with those projections) who go when those numbers aren't met, it's the front line workers.

You know what really grinds my gears...

Where is all that sweet electricity you've been storing away from the panels?!?
It's in concrete storage for off peak hours.

Jews have continuously lived in the Levant for millennia, long before Islam was even a religion. By contrast, there has never been a Palestinian state at any point in history.

Vanderbilt I think was about a divestiture vote or something.

Yeah this would only be for in-market fans. Out of market fans have ESPN+.
I can't get either.

At PSU in 1986 there was a "shantytown" in between the two walkways from the Allen Street entrance up to Willard building demanding that PSU divest from South Africa. Much less involvement than today's protests and most people ignored them.
PSU did divest, though, right?
I don't know.

Yeah, 60K with all that experience ain't happening.
