Funny that Hollywood hasn't come up with an alternative. Like how they use a 555 number.

I would hope if Fox repeatedly ignored this warning that harsher penalties would arise.

Reply to comment by RSomnambulist in ‘Poker Face’ is an absolute gem of a show. Would be blowing up if it was on a larger streaming service by mattyhegs826
Yeah they're doing a lot of specials lately, probably because they need subscriber numbers. Might be tempted to pick it up.

There's a twitch stream every Thursday with a 90s Simpsons episode with commercials. It's cool, this Twitter feed runs it.

Reply to comment by mikeyHustle in If PA can't work out a deal to fund transit when COVID relief runs out, there could be massive service cuts to transit again. Does anyone remember when something similar happened in 2007-2011 and how it affected things? I live in Philly but this could happen to us too and I'm curious what it's like by MrATLien
Yeah wasn't there a Transit Development Plan around then that pretty much went out the window? Get ready for the BRT plan to be even more scaled back.

I mean, who knows how much longer linear cable channels will be around. But something will be lost if TCM just becomes a category with an A-Z sorted list of old movies on DiscoveryBO Plus or whatever.

>TCM, for example, intends to make use of popular personalities from Food Network, HGTV and other venues to create discussions related to classic movies.
TCM is like the only pure entertainment cable channel left. Still has hosts, a curated schedule, is still showing what the channel set out to show when it launched. And I know Zaslav is going to screw it up. It'll probably be showing 6 hour blocks of Guys Grocery Games in a couple years.

Reply to comment by koshergoy in TIL In the 1980s, an obscene image was snuck into one of the ice cubes in a Coca-Cola ad in South Australia. The company recalled and destroyed all of the posters, and the artist responsible for the image was fired and sued. by 54_actual
Wilson Bryan Key also thought Nabisco stamped the word "sex" on Ritz crackers.

Reply to comment by ninjas_in_my_pants in TIL: The final night of women's figure skating in 1994's Winter Olympics is the 6th highest rated TV broadcast in US history. Remembered for the Kerrigan-Harding subplot, 48.5% of all households with a TV watched the final. Since then, no other broadcast has matched that rating. by theotherbogart
Yeah I assume this is comparing viewer share not total viewers.

Agreed. The card doesn't work on flights. I don't think it's worth the cost, just get a regular passport.

Get a passport like others are saying.
But I'll also add looking into NEXUS. It's the US/Canada trusted traveler program and is awesome. $50 for 5 years gets you TSA Pre, Global Entry, and NEXUS which is Canada's version of both. You skip airport security lines in the US and Canada, and lines at US and Canada customs at airports and border bridges. There's even a NEXUS only bridge in Buffalo. You save a lot of time and you get TSA Pre and Global Entry both for cheaper than the cost of one of them.
Only caveat? It requires an interview, and they are only done at the border. So you might have to schedule an appointment and run up to Buffalo. Also not sure what the current wait-list is after COVID really screwed up the process. And you need your passport first, so get that.

I remember the yellow pages had a section with codes to call PG Link, an automated phone service. Maybe there was one from Channel 11 too in the Donnelly Directory, the competitor to the yellow pages?
Or you just waited <10 minutes for the local forecast on the Weather Channel.
