That's on the parents, gotta raise 'em right. My kids watched Bloodsport just a couple of years ago.

Grease is a pretty great satire of the time.

You prefer tying on a glass keyboard as opposed to a physical one? That's a rarity in my opinion for people who do a lot of typing or work on their computers.

I can't stand typing on glass personally.

I don't mind typing on the iPad, and can use the voice to text too.

It was different use tho, I was typing alot more, and requiring more functionality (O365 etc). For example, there isn't a shift button on the left side. It's both bizarre and annoying.

Sportnet+ having streaming issues and I can't restart the game. They provided an alternative live streaming link, but I don't want to watch it live!

Embarrassing that they can't get this right in 2025.

Even the live TV feed was freezing last night, at least for me.

Such a POS. After the Blue Jays game I went to watch the Flames. Yep, not recorded. I have set up a series record multiple times. ####. Then went to watch the MNF which I had not watched yet. Nope Raptors game pre-empted it. The stupid ####ing telus machine decided to dvr the football on a channel the football was not on.

My TiVo 20 years ago was so much better than what we have now. So frustrating.

I can't watch on SN+ either because you can't control when you watch well enough so I have to watch on my POS telus box, when it works.

The feed was working fine for me (I checked to see if it loaded, but didn't look at score or have audio on) but it wasn't what I was after. I had prior committments, so I had to restart from game start. That wasn't working.

I really have to work on being more selfish...I dabble in contract work on the side, got offered an awesome one recently that pays well. But the dates bled into a much smaller, lesser paying one. But it's someone I've worked with before a few times, so I passed on the good one, out of loyalty / keeping a good rep.

Got a generic email today that the smaller one I was being loyal to just cancelled last minute. Not even a call or explanation, just what I can tell is a shell email. Circled back to the good offer to say I can take it, but it's already been awarded to somebody else by now. I was just trying to do what I felt was the right thing, boooo..

Anyway all good, just RGMG and I'm single right now, so no S.O. to whine about my day to lol, and not gonna do that to my buddies while we watch game 5. So CP gets to hear about it
