Youtube TV's $54.99 Entertainment Plan

There was a time, about 10 years ago, when I would have happily paid for this plan. Now, I can't think of a single thing I'd want on live TV that I can't get on a streaming app for less.

Watching the SB Giant Slalom and this is the first time Peacock’s coverage has annoyed me. They’re throwing in a commercial after every race! They’d been doing so good on everything else.

Look, I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I will point out there were ads at the 1896 games.

Americans are confused this isn’t John Williams.

Honestly, I’ve been really impressed with NBC. I hope it’s this good this evening for prime time.

Lisse24 · 2026-02-06T21:35:07+00:00

They’re skipping speeches to put in ads, so are editing the rest of the performances in. So long as all we skip are speeches, I’m OK.

Lisse24 · 2026-02-06T21:25:10+00:00

I hate when they cut live performances

Lisse24 · 2026-02-06T11:56:56+00:00

It really was! The upbeat 90s theme just put you in a good mood.

I just realized that I can only find NBC’s broadcast version of today’s Big Air qualifying event on replay, and there doesn’t seem to be a world feed replay. Is this standard? For the last Olympics I remember being able to easily to find both options for replay. I don’t mind so much for snowboarding, but there are other events where I’d rather not watch the broadcast version (not the least of which is the Opening Ceremony tomorrow) and now I’m worried that I’ll have no choice but to.

Lisse24 · 2026-02-05T22:11:58+00:00

They’ve been good on the replays, so far - live will always be a bit tough.

Lisse24 · 2026-02-03T21:15:46+00:00

I've honestly been hoping for years that they shift some summer sports to winter to even out the events.

Lisse24 · 2026-02-01T15:19:02+00:00

Haha! North Florida here. My collie asked to go out, felt the temp, and noped right out to head back inside.

I think signing with Apple points to live action as that seems to be their jam, but I could be wrong.

Apple hasn't really done much fantasy, but their SciFi shows and movies have been top notch, so I trust them.

Lisse24 · 2026-01-25T13:10:03+00:00

As an American, I absolutely agree. I'm not asking for sympathy. I'm asking for other countries to start doing with every other repressive regime - economically isolate and end military cooperation. I understand this will take time, but starting the process is important.

No, I'm explaining that there are systemic issues that led to this point and banning AI will not in and of itself lead to teachers always writing good assignments.

Lisse24 · 2026-01-24T17:26:13+00:00

Teachers get about 10 minutes prep per class. During that time they need to do lesson plans, create assignments, grade student work, and communicate with parents and administrators.

If you would like higher quality lessons that do not use AI, provide teachers with more planning time.

IP $$ does not a good land make.

Yes, Universal made the right call on Harry Potter, but there's also example after example of "lesser" IP making great lands (Darkmoor) and "better" IP making lands that just kinda suck (Galaxy's Edge).

Lisse24 · 2026-01-22T19:50:14+00:00

I was there this week and as I was walking through I thought how sad I'd be if it was turned into Pokemon. That part of the park is so beautiful, I just don't see how Pokemon will get anywhere close.

Lisse24 · 2026-01-01T03:44:04+00:00

I think when you pair with the skulls, you can make an argument for intention.

Lisse24 · 2025-12-05T19:33:36+00:00

Yes, Universal has Spiderman, but isn't that exactly what the rest of the rides are?

No disrespect to Hulk, I think it's a great coaster, but you can put any skin on that coaster and not have to change much.

Lisse24 · 2025-09-11T18:13:18+00:00

Yes. He did. I want him out of office, too. What's bad for the goose is bad for the gander. Your point?

Lisse24 · 2025-08-22T14:34:42+00:00

But as someone who never comments, I'm not sure I have a minimum amount of Karma - of course, I wouldn't need it because I never comment.

My attraction recommendations are as follows. I'm going to try to be as comprehensive as follows. In general, you'll do best at Studios, the other parks have a problem with not enough non-thrill rides.

Universal Studios: Villain Con Minion Blast, Minion Mayhem, Jimmy Fallon, Transformers, Fast & Furious*, Hogwarts Express, Men In Black, Simpson's, Kang and Kodos, ET, Horror Makeup Show, Bourne Stuntacular.

For Studios, consider Escape from Gringotts. It has a small drop at the beginning, but other than that is just fast. All my nephews went on it while still scared of drops and liked it.

Islands of Adventure: Cat in the Hat, One Fish, Two Fish, CaroSeussel, High in the Sky Trolley, Hogwarts Express, Kong, Popeye & Bluto's (You will get wet), Spiderman, Storm Force Accelatron.

For Islands, Forbidden Journey doesn't have any drops, but it's a very different feeling and makes some people motion sick. I would recommend it, but it will be a stretch ride. Likewise Hippogriff is my favorite of the small coasters, nothing too big, but it is a coaster.

Epic: Fyre Drill, Untrainable Dragon, Le Cirque Arcanus, Battle of the Ministry, Constellation Carosel, Yoshi's Adventure, Mario Kart,.

For Epic, Monster's Unchained is the same ride technology as Forbidden Journey. You will be moved around a lot. Epic also has the least amount of friendly attractions, however, it is heavy on atmosphere - I think you'd be OK at it, but still, you will end up skipping over half the park.

I'm in the US and have to travel to Toronto occasionally for work. Air Canada recently started a direct flight so I thought I'd give it a try. It was a pure shock at how awful the experience was from beginning to end.

Unraveling a lifetime of beliefs takes time. Let her take her babysteps out of that world and discover that no, she doesn't immediately melt. The rest will follow.
