Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch-Part Six

[Myrany]

Welcome before I forget. Yep, Roots started last night. Like the others I have set the DVR to record it. I missed the first half of episode one so I'm hoping they'll repeat it like normal. Anything on A&E ggroup of channels normally does. For those interested it's playing both on A&E and Lifetime. Hopefully you get one or the other.

It is on one of the History channels here

I remember someone saying something about sophias to me

Only have one. IF I can find it, it's yours'!

All I know is I gave a Heads Up on this remake of one of my favorite TV Mini Series .. Post #2577 .. .. last Friday, I believe ..

I think member complaints are the basis for censoring words, not a search of the dictionary for words that might eventually cause situations. Even thoug proponents of free speech might think otherwise.

I agree.

Episode 1 and 2 are on kodi.

Just for my own personal FYI .. is this a legal method of viewing .. ?? I have been toying with various streaming options in order to reduce the extortion exerted by my CATV provider ..

If used, would a VPN be a good idea .. ?? Is the quality audio/video stream HD .. ??

I know you like it, I know you swear by it, I know you've said the content is rich .. so, help a Brother out with some additional review ..

Yeah, I'm taking the feed off History .. and I believe Episode One is available to stream for free, at least temporarily .. I'm stacking the whole enchilada on the DVR for a binge

Lol!!! I think I'm ready. I'm officially able to order from the Senior menu. Why don't we get a Senior discount on ejuice?!?

Welcome to The Porches, Starre! Don't you know? We are too old to vape! Especially if vaping means candy, dessert, or beverage flavors! We could maybe get away with Geritol or Tapioca flavors.

I hope you'll stay awhile and let us get to know you.

I could probably vape the rest of my life with what I have already. Yet, I'm not as ready as I would like. I'm getting more and more anxious as the time approaches.

I want lots of little odds'n'ends. Spare parts, more cartos and coils, etc.

I wish I had a couple thousand cartos for my tanks!

I keep having to talk myself back to reality. This mess is just sickening.

I know that most of it will probably be overturned. But, I'm more worried about lack of credit card support and the possibility of online sales being banned by local governments. That kind of thing can happen almost instantly. It doesn't even have to wait until August 8th.

Breath . . . . breath . . . . breath . . . .

I'm hoping I'm set. I'm just working on parts & flavoring. And my Hex Ohm collection.

Anyone gonna watch/record the new Roots? Just started a tiny bit ago. I turned the tv off cuz I'm recording it. Got sumpthin else recording too, and the TV has to be on one of the stations. Will watch em later. Hard story to watch, but again, some things just need to not be forgotten

I'm not watching it, but definately recording it. I want to watch the entire thing at one time. I remember watching the first one when it came out. It made such an impact on so many people at that time. It's sad that it has not been required viewing for every High School & College student. They replay Wizard of Oz, & Harry Potter, Home Alone 1-5, & The Santa Clause 1-3 at least yearly. But Roots, The Book of Negros, the story of T Jefferson & Sally Hemmings, John Adams? Nope.

Gourmet Juice Junkies thread is my go to group here lately.
Real nice folks there.

Thanks for the warm welcome @MikeE3.[emoji294]

Ok, gotta find that one for sure!

 

[Kenna]

Is the new Roots starting tonight? Telling my husband to check now; Central time here, probably already started, too.

Another Texan on The Porches! Whoop!

 

[Kenna]

I'm in central too and jup it started at 8. Do you have a backup or start over feature with your tv service? Sometimes if we start recording after something starts, it'll still record the whole thing, but have never tried that over an hour or check to see if they'll be showing it again

ETA: just checked (and realized this is part 2 tonite) but they will be showing both again on mine, so just do a search you should be able to catch em later this week

Part 1 replays today at 3:30, followrd by Part 2, and then Part 3 follows that for the first time tonight at 8. How many parts are there? 4?

What's ironic, waaay back in my younger years, luv'd to wear tight fittin' clothes/uniforms. Nowadays, looser da better; or better yet, 'don't need no stinkin' clothes'...

Many ditto's!

Legal? Knot a klue, bro. But you aren't downloading anything. It's streaming. Never found anything about illegalities anywhere.
AFAIK, VPN doesn't matter. You could but streaming will slow down, of course.
AFAIK #2... It seems to be illegal to DL programs (in the states, not here) but you aren't downloading anything. So, gray area? Besides, some programs are 80 or 90 years old if yer into that. (And yes, the original Roots is there as well)

Quality... All kinds. From SD to HD. 480 to 1080. Depending on what and where it's coming from. Most I've seen were 720. And... I have no idea where it's coming from outside of being on the web someplace!

I very rarely have a buffering problem. And here, 16Mb is about the fastest available. But if there is a buffer problem, just pick another source. There's usually dozens of sources for the same thing.

I am considering a kodi box. But to try it out on a PC, Mac, Linux... itz free. So why not try it to see if you like it. I have two tv's with a vga connection so vga to hdmi (on the vid cards) could eliminate the need for a box. Film at 11. (just not sure which year) Our PC's run 24/7 anyway.

Just remember, kind of a learning curve adding add ons. And you need add ons. 99% of the thousands are free. But some require a subscription. But even those hold only shows that someone else has free anyway.

What I like is, when you think of that old movie or tv show you really loved. Wonder if or when it's coming on again... uh... it's on when you want it on. Like... as we speak.

As far as downloading... there is a way. Just haven't figgered it out or feel the need since it's all on line anyway. Why use up storage space for something you can watch anytime, anywhere.

Hi clnire,
I hopped on my old tablet, and off Tapatalk...WOW...it's an amazing difference, in a good way. Now I know why it looks like people are saying banana! Lol.
I think this is the Back Porch; hope so since I remarked on "Kunta Kinte's" prayer. And I do recognize you from Juice Junkies. I'm vaping some steeped Duchess, only because of that thread, and oh what a difference a steep makes! It really isTres Leches.

Ok, you 2. I need a link! Cathy's been holding out on me!
