I read once that if you’re trying to get some creativity juices flowing, removing unnecessary details will allow for more abstract thought. Like “write a story about an ogre” would lead to very different stories than “write a story about an ogre doing pushups”, even if the latter is probably arguably more funny.

So that was my thinking here about being a bit vague, I was specifically talking about tankless water heaters which got us on the subject though.

Thank you, I love the internet. Was discussing this with my roommate and didn’t know where else to ask!

Everything today was pretty simple except the top left corner, just could not get a toehold there

The discount in price is the only benefit of the two year plan from what I saw. They can offer this discount because they can get the lump sum of money in one go. This is the idea of the time value of money, a lump sum now is greater than an equal amount later.

It makes little sense to offer a month to month plan at the same price with a contract in place, because now there’s the overhead of the contract on top of everything else.

So your best option is likely to stick with the month to month price, unfortunately.

Yeah it is ersatztv, you basically need a gpu for the ffmpeg encodings though. It’s fun if you get it to work, I have my face appear every hour at the bottom of the screen like a network logo.

I host my own iptv service to mimic a real channel but with my content. It’s amazing and we all love it.

It’s usenet, everything is zipped into hundreds of RAR files

It's hard to say since it's all RAIDed out but they're not SSD's, I just didn't have the space on the drive. But looks like I'm in the market for a new cpu, motherboard and NVMe drive now. Thanks for your input!
