I picked them up a few months ago so I could watch Clerks 3 and Ghostbusters Afterlife. Then I ended up watching Spartacus, Ash vs Evil Dead, and Outlander. There’s a few other things on there I’d like to see, but I don’t think it’s enough to justify a yearly subscription considering how little TV I watch. Once they have John Wick 4 and I get through that, then I’ll probably cancel.

There were tons of issues with earlier DRM models. SecuROM not working with certain disc drives, SafeDisc driver vulnerabilities, StarForce allegedly bricking some hardware, Tages eating up online activations for simple hardware swaps. Everyone hated them, but the Sony rootkit was probably the biggest one at the time. From what I remember there was no mention of it anywhere on the CDs or in the EULA, and when they did get caught their “fix” basically just hid the files while collecting info on you and sending it back to Sony.

I smoked for over 20 years, and spent probably 15 of those years trying to quit. When I switched over to a vape pen in 2014 I had to be very cautious about which cartridges I bought because of the obscene nicotine levels in some of them. I can’t remember the name of the brand, but there was one that helped me quit because they had a lineup that had a really low level of nicotine in them. After a year I quit without a problem. Just over 8 years now since my last cigarette and almost 8 years since I threw out the vape pen!

It can help, but you have to be very careful which vape juice you use.

Do I have to pick only one? I wasn’t a very bright kid.

• Willingly let someone taze my testicles in exchange for a beer
• Chased black bears off the trail behind our house for no reason, usually with nothing more than a nearby stick
• Skinny dipping in a river known to be filled with leeches
• Got in a drunk argument with a raccoon, which led to my first underage drinking ticket because I refused to be spoken to in that tone
• Became friends with said raccoon and even met its kits once over stale day old bread I brought home from my high school job at Jimmy John’s
• Made a potato gun and accidentally fired it backwards, breaking the glass window in the garage
• Threw M80’s into the water to go fishing Crocodile Dundee style
• Believed a girl I barely knew when she said she was on the pill

I did when I was losing weight as a tertiary measurement of improvement behind weight and blood pressure improvements.

Deezer for music, then I rotate monthly between HBO Max, Hulu, Netflix, Paramount, Peacock, and Starz. I’ll be damned if I’m going to pay all them at once, so all they get is 2 months a year each.
