The irony is 3 of those pictured as Gen X are, in reality, boomers.

Judd Nelson b. 1959
Emilio Estavez b. 1962
Ally Sheedy b. 1962

The older brother of a college buddy of mine dated Ringwald off and on for a number of years. I like to mention this sometimes to seem cool by association.

By current demographic definitions he would be called a boomer, but back in the day Gen-X was anybody born after 1960. The date range was redefined at some point, but the term Gen-X comes from a book and in that book it applied to 1960+.

Some folks call those born between 1954 - 1965 Generation Jones. They are kinda too young to be lumped in with the older boomers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Jones

Boomer cutoff has been 1964 since I was born.

Moving the goalpost like Joe Biden's inflation calculator isn't going to work. 1960 cutoff is fucking bullshit.

TITTT, I know

Sling sucks compared to YouTubeTV.

I had a few issues with what I’d describe as buffering and I’m on fiber. I think that’s more to do with live sports for some reason vs a non- live broadcast.

What pissed me off the most with Sling is the commercials I couldn’t fast forward through. Total fucking bullshit.

I’ve got it for the month and I read something that each team is obligated to be on the Pac12 network 3 tims so UW likely gets 1 of ASU/Stanford and if I want to watch that abortion, I’m set.

Otherwise, fuck Sling. I’m sticking with YouTubeTV

I’d invite you over to watch it but last time I did that it was assumed I drive a rapist type windowless van which isn’t that far from the truth but still.

We could meet up in Knoxville. It’s about the halfway point.

Knoxville, cool fucking place man.

YouTube TV is really good. Their auto recording is a bit wonky at times, but other than that no complaints.

I was Fubo for quite a while until they got greedy.

I’ve only ever stopped for a beer or lunch in Knoxville so I don’t have much to say about it but the one tim I stopped was the funniest. Driving back to Lex and we find a pizza place. A methy homeless lady walks up to us as we’re getting g out the truck and asks for food and money. I tell her to fuck off.

My catholic guilt kicks in so when we’re done eating, I take the leftover pizza and see her right out front and offer her the pizza. She replied by saying she can’t eat cheese. I thought to myself that she picked a great fucking spot to beg for food.

I did the free trial of Fubo to watch yesterday. Was really pleased with the quality. I'll still cancel, since if we beat Oregon we won't be on P12 networks again and if we lose then it won't matter.

the interface and recording is better than YouTube. They were way ahead of YT with the multigame viewing (via Apple TV). I loved it... until they decided to up their prices like $25 a month like there are no other options... and right before NFL Sunday Ticket started on YouTube. Blockbuster greed level stupid....

I am sure you figured out she didn't actually want food yeah?!

I've had it happen quite a few times before, also trying to be charitable offering my leftovers to people asking for "food" only to be turned down.

Oh yeah, I knew that.

Boomer cutoff has been 1964 since I was born.

I'll be sure to give your opinion the consideration it merits

Moving the goalpost

It isn't as if any official agency publishes the cutoff years. They are all made up. And the original made up years for Gen X started at 1960

like Joe Biden's inflation calculator isn't going to work.

Take it to the tug

Ublock works on chrome as well, streamseast doesn’t give me aids when I have it running.

I'm a month in with Fubo. Their channel lineup is good. It's far from cheap though. They don't give you a choice on Root Sports. If you live in an area with a local team that Root televises (like the Mariners) then Fubo doesn't give you a choice. They charge $11.99 for the local sports package. Add tax and another addon for $7.99 so I can have P12 network and it's $100.

Cheaper than Dish by quite a bit but the app is absolute shit compared to the smooth humming dish interface. I already miss the ability to seamlessly bounce between games and shows and between recorded and live.

Thought this would be about getting a bigger tv. Yes, yes you should.

Fyi for you boomers if you can't watch the game on your cable telly, use streameast.io

Kids suck fudgie. Nobody with a brain and 3+ decades of life experience wants to do anything the way the kids do it. You're all dead eyed, muttering, socially retarded fucksticks...even (especially?) the smart ones.

Sure, but we can find a way to watch sports for free.

I'm glad you didn't overreact. I was just having old man fun. I have a 24 year old that, once in a while, isn't a total fucktard and contributes or says something useful. I don't hate him.
