Lyc. Overthinking where to allocate ~$50 in my household budget spreadsheets is very on brand for me. - znufrii May 20, 10:12 4

    - Yeah, I'm of two minds... - Mop May 20, 10:42

  - That's a joke, right? -- nm - Mop May 20, 09:56 1

      - It's owned by Comcast but pwned by...? -- nm - spamlet May 20, 09:47 3
        
        I think Comcast shut it and then realized it may have some value, so they're relaunching it. It's an ad-supported streaming service like Pluto TV. -- nm - Mop May 20, 10:03 2
        
        They announced a JV with Charter a couple of weeks ago and it will be contributed to that. -- nm - spamlet May 20, 10:37 1
        
        Yeah, that's the crux of it. There's something more going on, and I think it involves the future of Peacock and maybe NBCU as a whole. -- nm - Mop May 20, 10:38
- not for me -- nm - prayformojo May 20, 09:32

  - Haha, I can't imagine. I've been lucky on the allergy front -- nm - ty97 May 20, 09:30
OK, that settles it! Today's the day I learn the difference between a pony and a miniature horse! -- nm - Mop May 20, 09:07 10
