Not your new one I hope.
Maybe try oiling it? Could work for a little while.
This could be bad… lol
Nah. That one is working very nicely. Taking a little getting used to, but awesome.
Oh no. It promptly went kaput, complete with electrical smoke upon startup this year. The bearings and lash on the arbor got wonky last year, so not unexpected.
It’s like our 11th year in this house so it seems like all of the things are going kaput.
The machine is actually like really old. It has definitely lasted at least as long as it was supposed to, so I can’t complain about that.

I’m with @strongmangoals on this one. Most shows that were previously 30 minutes are 21 when commercials are taken out. I’m always looking for quick and dirty comedy’s that are this length. I think of them as the bag of chips of programming.
I also don’t care if it says anything about my mental abilities or attention span. I’ve gotten over the fact that I’m getting dumber every day. I’m just leaning into it now.

People who use the word “bugie” (pronounced bu-gee apparently)
I don’t use it, but I think it’d be “bougie”, as in bourgeois.

You’re probably correct. Above is the first time I ever tried to spell it out.
It’s okay - I’m feeling a deep sense of shame at having corrected the spelling of one of those terrible abbreviations - it’s not like it’s a word, haha.

I’d say @cyclonengineer’s spelling better captures the obnoxious voice often used when saying that “word”
Apricots. How have they not been eliminated from our society? Fresh apricot? Awful. Dried, awful. On pastry, awful. In cereal, terrible. Cake? Just no!
The key is to eat them juuuust before ripeness, like most stone fruits, so they’re still satisfyingly firm.

My post came across as more serious/outraged than I felt - I was getting ready for work. I meant to accuse him of ruining my life, really, not of having poor taste. But I rushed through and didn’t complete the thought. Which was, basically, to keep his filthy viewing preferences out of my television. That goes for you too!

We seem to have got all mixed up here. All I am saying is there should be a filter that lets you remove shows that one deems too long from their search/browse. This means less time searching and more time to watch the great shows we all love.
In time it, each show will have a ‘Play’ button that plays for a sensible amount of time. It also has a ‘Play’ button which runs the show in a longer format, for those with a bit more time. Let’s call them the sullied. In this way, everybody gets to watch the shows everyone is talking about in the way that best suits them. It’s about more choice for everyone and who wouldn’t want that? Probably a commie.
Eventually, the sullied get hardwired into the Netflix/Amazon/HBO/etc services. They can watch shows in the longest format you can get - 24 hours. We sustain this by drawing on power from brain activity of the sullied which we cleverly spike with long arcs and dramatic twists. With a nutritious slurry of mashed up insects and beyond meat continuously fed directly into their stomachs they’ll never have another worry in the world.
The rest of us will live our days enjoying a cleaner, slower paced life, that doesn’t hurt the planet - free from the wicked influence of the sullied. Now everyone has exactly what they always wanted. The only downside is that it’s not already here.
Can you not just watch the previews and call it done? (Speaking of things that piss you off…having to mute the auto-starting previews while I look for something I’m willing to watch 90 seconds of.) This way, you’d have time for 2-3 shows before work.
very annoying
Like some second class citizen, not worthy of a full show 
Auto preview blows.
Non-fat Greek Yogurt. They take out the good stuff (fats and some of the protein) and put back in sugar and sugar alcohol.

I’ve tried every flavor of that triple zero, and have determined that the stuff just sucks.
It’s protein content is cool, but that can be gotten so many other enjoyable ways.
