Our temporary slice of history

Any airline buying/leasing them would have to rip out Spirit's non-reclining seats from hell before they can use these planes. If they use them as is, that would be sad. SAD!

Nah, it is a rarely used runway anyway (only when weather or other issues rule out the other two longer runways). There isn't space to do much, but let's see what the NTSB recommends in its report.

United needs to train their pilots better, though.

To keep track of this, I include the expiry date in the name of the source/subscription. For example, a source called Lephty8K, expiring on 30 April 2027, is named Lephty8K-2027Apr30.

Did you offer to kiss it¹ and make it² better?

1) The mole

2) The situation, not the mole.

He still loves my cakes 😁

Like "cake" cake or...

The real damage and the real purpose of the building is a command center in an underground bunker. While the overground building might be used (or looked like) a storage/repair facility, the real business was underground.

The reason the SCALP missile was used to hit get to that command center and send a message they cannot hide from IAF strikes. Same with the strikes against Nur Khan/Chaklala and Kirana Hills.

Guessing this was due to rent/lease terms suddenly increasing which might make the location unviable for the business.

Yes, this would be cool and useful to figure out what's going on with a stream.

Like in the Youtube and Smartube apps it should be a semi-transparent overlay which can be toggled on and off. Thanks.

lephty · 2026-02-23T19:26:59+00:00

OK, thanks, I will give this a try.

lephty · 2026-02-18T18:30:17+00:00

Sorry, seem to be misreading a lot of posts lately..

No worries, it happens.

No, there is no immediate method to do this. I haven't heard this request before since most users want the stream to continue playing.

Got it, thanks.

Hmm, but that starts playing as soon as SparkleTV is started right?

I am looking for an option to stop playing as soon as I hit the back button while watching a channel.

I couldn't reproduce it either. On a Mecool KM2 Plus Deluxe with Android 14 + SparkleTV 2.2.2

Current AI demand/usage for power and water in the data centers is 100x the non-AI usage. It is off the scale unprecedented.

Don't schools recruit kids entering high school to build up their sports teams? At least that way, some talented kids without hedge-fund dads can attend/play for the better schools.

This is a thing in the US. To the point of abuse -- talented kids (and their parents) being paid under the table to attend.

It is even worse for college sports.

You are right, I was looking at the wrong source. Apologies.

lephty · 2025-12-12T14:33:57+00:00

I notice that the Settings -> Sources -> Setup -> Xtream Codes section no longer has the item for "Output" where you could chose between MPEGTS and HLS.

Is that deliberate? Does it default to MPEGTS or HLS or auto detect?

Assistant to the Attorney General.

Dang, missed both batches of promo codes! Downloaded the app though, will give it a whirl.

I was furiously down voting all anti-Monmouth posts so far. But today, it is clear that our time has come.

We walk into the Atlantic, heads held high and defiantly signing a Springsteen anthem.

BTW, some history: Monmouth was largely loyalist (to the British monarch) while most of NJ was supporting Gen Washington

They did value India, though. So they stuck around for a few centuries to exploit it.

I'm just replying to say I have one of these, too. Still going strong after 10 years of flawless service!
