- The Bluray drive on the PS3 kickstarted the Bluray explosion - at considerable expense to Sony. I wonder if switching to digital only will do the same -- nm - Mop🧹 Sep 10, 08:37 4

- N, my activities tonight do not include a TV or it shouldn't - Epiphany Sep 10, 08:46
- Nope. My daughter has a gig tonight and I'm playing roadie. But I will record it and at least watch some later. -- nm - pmb Sep 10, 08:43
- If you care, I think there is value in actually watching. All highlights, left or right are spun with a take. - Volnelk Sep 10, 08:34 3
  - If it were actually expected to be a meaningful exchange of ideas instead of prescripted sound bites and unmediated bullshit, maybe. -- (edited) - znufrii Sep 10, 08:45

    - Same. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 08:21 1
      - (It's not just him, I find it true of most politicians - but especially him.) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 08:28

  - How can you watch Trump come after Harris with a pitchfork if you are just reading? -- nm - Spawn Sep 10, 08:26 2

- Sub-poll: If this was Earth 1 (DT is in prison or in the ground) and the debate was between Harris and Haley, would you watch? -- nm - Jovian Sep 10, 07:59 4
  - Probably not. They're meaningless to me as it won't change my vote. -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 08:15

  - I'm more interested to see if he calls her a bitch or drops the N word or something insane like that -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Sep 10, 07:58 1
    - ok -- nm - prayformojo Sep 10, 08:04
- nah. I'll catch the clips tomorrow -- nm - decline Sep 10, 07:56
