You Know What Really Grinds My Gears? Now with 3x more gears...

I’m pretty sure whether something is legal or not is based on your location, not the location it’s in.

But he's pretending he's in Iran using a VPN so surely that makes it OK right?

I mean, most people think Iranian law should apply in Canada...

The trick to avoiding slipping into these sorts of debates is to append any gray area activity admissions with the word "yar"(or "yar!", with enthusiasm). This way there is no confusion as to your position in the discussion.

I don't know why people who pirate to get around streaming services pretend they're not stealing. You are, it's not a huge deal. Dana White makes enough money.

It really isn’t, it’s 2 clicks to open and use my vpn and then I just go to a website and pick my game. All in I doubt I use my mouse more than 15 times to watch any game. The retro gaming setup takes a bunch of work and it isn’t very user friendly, that one I’ll agree completely.

RGMG that the College Football FBS Championship is always on a Monday night, meaning it's difficult for me to watch. I understand it would be up against the NFL on the weekend but man would it be nice if the game was Saturday afternoon like college football is supposed to be played on.

It's the libertarian yar Freeman on the Seas yar mentality.

When a company discontinues a product, and confirms they’ll never produce it again in the future, why don’t they at least provide some instructions on how to replicate it at home? I am talking about whipped peanut butter. The stuff they had was shelf-stable and delicious. There is some way to duplicating the mousse-like consistency without some ingredients that will cause it to go bad outside the fridge.

I've never messed with the illegal streaming firesticks, just figure it will be a pain in the ass and bad quality. I know a lot of people who claim the quality is reeeeealy good and you can find anything you can think of.

So a friend of mine gets set up by a coworker who supposedly knows how to do it properly, where to get the best quality streams, etc. My friend reports back to me that the quality is really pixelated and basically garbage but that doesn't matter because the buffering is so bad that it's almost useless.

I'm not sold.

I have a friend who also goes on and on about how easy it is. Then he starts listing the million steps and all the ####ing around and I'm just like, there's no way I'm doing that.

The best type of illegal firesticks are the ones your friends own.

Hit them up for events you can't get at your house and leave

Sniffling doesn’t necessarily mean someone is ill. Some have respiratory issues. Please be understanding.

That’s like sneezing. 🤧 ve never sneezed as a sick symptom but everyone is like, whoa get out of here sicky.

Also healing chest cavity means no sneezing for a month or two and I love sneezing. Sneezegasm.

I feel like I’ve missed a memo at work stating “I you’re not sick, stay home.” My wife has a surgery coming up on Friday, but if she gets sick, it will be canceled and pushed off for god knows how long. So I’m doing my best to not get sick, which basically means I have to stay home due to all the donkeys hacking and wheezing in the office… so I guess healthy people should stay home now?

“Oh, everyone gets sick this time of year. Let’s all get sick together.” #### you, #######s!

A friend of mine has been testing this stuff. The quality stinks. I’ve been spoiled by actual HD and 4K broadcasts. I don’t think I’m going to go down this road.

I still like my old fashion cable and sports package in an old school HD Box for this exact reason, it just works. I have so many friends of mine who have brag about every IPTV and illegal stream they have and they don't pay for cable.

I can't count how often I go over and try and watch a movie or a game and the feed is beyond garbage. Nobody likes paying for cable or more than they need but at the end of the day if you watch a lot of TV, news or sports, then just pay for it and be done with the nonsense headaches.

We went to sports bar the other day to watch the Flames game and the IPTV was beyond brutal where not a single person working or my friends who have a system could figure it out. Literally watched old, repeat games and couldn't change the channel past American news. The place was empty and I know partially why.

I have a buddy that has a server and every piece of media every created, it’s like a part time job managing it. I think the collecting and managing part is more interesting than the consuming and saving money aspects for some people.

My neighbor offered access to his discord server but even that was a pain in the arse for me. Sit down with popcorn with the wife and have to fata around for an hour or just just pay $4.99. Plus he had some things on that server I was clearly not meant to see so. Ow it’s all awkward.

Have you tried whipping it and just adding oil to dilute?

Peanut butter is an emulsion of fat and water. So you could slowly whip and add each until it whips correctly.

Or maybe just by whipping in air it would reach your desired consistency kind of how when you make butter cream icing if you use a paddle attachment it’s much heavier then a whipping attachment.

And if after adding oil it wouldn’t hold together you could add soy lecithin as an insulin stabilizer to help.

I have tried whipping it like that with just some oil, but the texture didn’t last. I saw some people lamenting that maybe it’s whipped with nitrous. I have a whipped cream dispenser, so I might try that.

For the two types, the only difference is the “fancy molasses”.
