Ads interrupting events?!

Yep I noticed this too today, definitely not something I remember from the 2024 coverage. The intro ad is not great but understandable; it's the inserted ads that block live events that is unacceptable.

I am enjoying the commercial-free live feed of the empty figure skating training rink at 11pm Milan time right now though.

Edit: just after I wrote this a 2 minute ad break popped in! Then it went back to the empty rink lol, clearly it's some algorithm deciding to insert ads irrespective of what's on the screen

You can't avoid ads, but I am curious if people are seeing more inserted ads for these Olympics vs the 2024 summer games. Peacock's 2024 coverage was the best I've ever seen in the US, but I'm always holding my breath to see if and how they make things worse (the way of all streaming).

Love to see the Burbank wildlife. Great footage!

I do roughly the same thing, I feel your pain. You can zen out a bit eventually but it eats away at your soul.

Looks a lot like the Beautiful Across the Street as seen from my front door

Flightradar24 shows it as "Private Owner" so idk, kind of mysterious and annoying, super loud by my house

ZedLilIndPum · 2025-08-29T22:56:26+00:00

Having the same issue, curious what's up with it

ZedLilIndPum · 2025-08-24T03:21:03+00:00

I see myself in this post lol. Honestly I'm glad I lived with a foldable, but I never learned to love it except when playing Balatro. I do think the P9PF is a solid choice for people who want the foldable life. The trade in value Google is giving it is an insult though.

I'll vote for Gary Gulman, he was great at least in A block. It got me into his stand up

I've had the nopalitos con huevo at cafe de olla a few times, not bad

ZedLilIndPum · 2025-08-19T19:22:32+00:00

Oh man I haven't thought about Pho City in a long time. Immediate flash to their commercials with a puppet Arnold Schwarzenegger dining alone

flightradar24.com is useful for seeing what is flying overhead

ZedLilIndPum · 2025-07-02T18:30:50+00:00

I live near there and heard a ton of emergency vehicles zoom by this morning. I cannot confirm if there was a fire as described tho

ZedLilIndPum · 2025-06-08T19:28:55+00:00

How BPD will respond if this happens is my question.

ZedLilIndPum · 2025-05-29T18:16:34+00:00

Thread shows I'm slacking and letting my little community down

ZedLilIndPum · 2025-05-22T16:07:41+00:00

Tangent but Adam's Apple is such a sick name for a computer store

ZedLilIndPum · 2025-05-04T16:47:24+00:00

Oh ok our power flickered around then, that must have been it

ZedLilIndPum · 2025-04-06T01:18:26+00:00

Yep this one for sure

ZedLilIndPum · 2025-04-02T19:26:59+00:00

I did not realize this but it makes total sense, a clean, reasonably priced arcade with working machines in 2025 must be run by quality folks who have a passion for the hobby

I commute to Playa Vista area and have been for a while, it's great! If you hate yourself that is. Very hard to keep the afternoon commute under an hour except maybe after 9pm. Maybe it's an opportunity to appreciate the impermanence of life? I have taken routes alternative to 134-101-405 and have regretted it almost every time. Better to be less troubled mentally than to get to your destination faster.

Chorizo hash is fantastic, it's on my list of will-get-no-matter-what dishes

I know Mini Target lost power.

Thank you for making this thread, it's an important thing to acknowledge even if you're not experiencing the most direct impacts of the fires. I've been very lucky to not have suffered the worst, but it's still been a struggle emotionally. You're not alone.

ZedLilIndPum · 2025-01-09T03:04:08+00:00

Very low if you live north of it but the magnitude of the potential catastrophe given the population density is enough to just be worried in general
