LOL, well, I already have NetFlix going to my smart-.... TV from my modem ... I wonder if I really need anything else? I tried that Hulu for a while but all they have is TV re-runs ... and not even the good ones like Jackie Gleason. And for five bucks we can usually watch more current movies on Dish ...

I'm going to have to investigate this further though ... its always fun to investigate and research things.



And Happy Easter Weekend everyone! I sure hope all of you guys have a wonderful Easter!

TT

need any help with finding some movies or music just give me a hollar I can point ya in the right direction? Just another interesting network, anyone ever use soulseek?

Never heard of soulseek. Bottom line is, if a person is using P2P sharing to watch or download music, movies, tv show, etc. that would normally have to be paid for, it's still pirating :) Older music and movies are usually a safer bet than brand new, and some ISPs are more proactive than others. When I was with comcast, I got threatened several times. Since I've been with cox...never.

If you already pay for stations suck as HBO, Showtime, etc., then you can stream from their sites legally. Or like 5c mentioned about Dish. Most who are heavily into P2P use out of country proxies.

Dish Anywhere Notice it say's with Dish subscription. But you can get the channels you don't subscribe to on there. Just have to have Dish.

Any of those sites like Limewire and torrent sites are the easiest way to get a virus unless you know who put it on there. It's still a gamble. I have one PC for that kind of stuff and before anything comes off of it it is thoroughly scanned by a couple different security programs. I won't have them on my other PC's because of the danger.

Free HBO & cinemax on twc this weekend, catching true blood :)

They're not in my area. Seattle/Tacoma is still considered unworthy.:laugh:

thats what I like about soulseek though, it allows for others to share their files and folders directly from their computer so your only downloading from individuals instead large number of people. It's used to share "local bands" music. Out of almost ten years of use no viruses, they do a good job at getting rid of accounts harboring viruses, I guess they not only go the route of banning the IP but they also notify the ISP of account distributing viruses.

anyways though hitting the hay, easter bunny has to stop by for the children, ain't gonna show up with me awake. So just curious though, anyone in here zero nic vapors? Started vaping but continued smoke around my join date,I'm working myself down, started off at 24ml about two months ago now down to 6, was thinking in about another month or two trying to maybe make that last few steps down to three and zero.

something else, anyone else feel like their teeth are gonna fall out? Anyone know why? Just curious, I mentioned something to my better half about this and she said ironically she gets to feeling the same way since she started vaping as well, I've also noticed their super sensitive.

I also think it was bov that mentioned something about how the B&M down the street might not have known they was selling knock off Vivis, I talked to the owner, he actually buys all of his stuff from another vendor and he sounded extremely surprised to find out they were knock offs, I told him he should get a hold of Vision themselves and have them confirm, he said he'll defiantly do, so hopefully I'll hear back from him soon.

I vape zero nic. It took me about six months to get there, and I started at 16mg. You're phasing out fast!

HaPpY easter everyone, theres nothing better than waking up to two wonderful kids, while watching one experience the magic of Easter for his first time. Just cant wait till next year, when he can actually interact a lot more and possibly go "egg hunting". The privilege's of being a parent.

Kgj......honestly before I was 20 I quite multiple times from cold turkey, just always found my way back to stinkies. I always thought it was extremely simple for me to quit until the last few years; then it seemed impossible. Eventually want to go from daily vapor to social vapor but couldn't see me cutting out vaping as a whole because I love smoking, and just like with cigarettes, I'll eventually always come back for relief.

Awwww, what a great time in life! Two little children and a holiday. It doesn't get any better than that and the kids are what puts the Happy in Easter!

Hey 5Card, I'll go check out that thing you posted about DISH. I saw that ad but thought it was just an advertisement for basketball.

Hope everyone has a great Easter and a great day!

Biz, it's possible that your teeth feel more sensitive because you aren't hydrating enough. PG and VG both are very drying to your mouth and nasal passages. I always have a bottle of water with me so that's not a problem for me anymore, but I have problems with certain flavors making the roof of my mouth and tongue feeling raw and sore. Mostly citrus fruit flavors and minty flavors. I even have to be careful with real citrus fruits and juices for the same reason.

I'm still at 12mg nic.

Have a blessed Easter everyone!
