Is there a general consensus on which is better, Hulu TV or YouTube TV? It was obviously Hulu before, but now that it doesn’t have FSWI that isn’t much of a scale tipper anymore. Both are going to be the same price come next month...actually Hulu may be slightly more with DVR after the increase. Seems like YouTube TV has the better line up.
-
I doubt creating something to just air the Brewers is more lucrative than being apart of FSWI. Seems hard to believe.
-
How would a team even go to streaming services without Fox (or any other channel affiliation)? Wouldn't they essentially have to create their own TV channel and infrastructure to televise the games then?
-
They very well might. Not exactly something that gets announced. Usually it gets uncovered after the fact and the contract details are just based on rumors.
-
I wouldn’t be optimistic. Many other services lost Fox before Hulu did...none have revived it.
-
Just got an email that Hulu Live is dropping Fox Sports Wisconsin since they were unable to come up with an agreement with Sinclair. Are there any streaming services left that offer Fox Sports Wisconsin? That’s a huge bummer. I checked AT&T and (at least for me) it quoted at $70 for the first 12 months and for the second year they get you for $110. This being the price for the Choice package that is needed for regional sports (and has BTN).

I only saw the two posts above me at first and was really confused why someone was so hyped for another person getting fiber internet.

This is a baseball team, the goal should definitely be to rip the other team off. If we think a player is going to be a bust, but some team think he is a Top 50 prospect are we suppose to tell them that and offer the player as a throw in? The goal should be to gain the most perceived value while giving up the least amount of perceived value. According to our own valuations of course. Make the worst offer possible that the other team will accept. Of course at the time of a trade it probably will never look like you are ripping off a team. I doubt even Stearns expected all these guys to flop so much. And I don’t mean rip off like try to sneak them some pitcher who is about to blow out his elbow or try to trade them someone we know has serious mental/drug problems and is about to implode as a baseball player. That would be wrong.

The CC trade wasn’t even that good in the grand scheme. They gave up a pretty good player in Brantley who went on to have 3 AS appearances, a Top 3 MVP finish, and 24 WAR with the Indians before moving on to the Astros. The Brewers got CC for half a year and got booted out of the playoffs first round as a wild card team. I’m not saying any Brewers fan would go back and veto the trade from happening, but it’s hardly some kind of robbery success story. It’s not even in the same universe when it comes to how good the Yelich trade has ended up. Lewis Brinson: -3.4 WAR Isan Diaz: -0.9 WAR Jordan Yamamoto: 0.4 WAR Christian Yelich: 14.1 WAR It’s quite possible the Marlins gave up a future HOFer in their peak for a package of players that will end up giving them a negative overall WAR. So far the Marlins would have been better off just giving Yelich away. I wasn’t alive with the dinosaurs like some of you so this may be bias towards the 21st century, but after the Yelich trade the Gomez trade has to be up there. Hader looks to be one of the best relief pitchers of his generation. Houser looks to be a very good pitcher whether that be in the pen or starting. Domingo Santana was solid bat for years and his double in Game 163 is arguably one of the bigger hits in Brewers history. What did the Astros get? A negative WAR from Gomez while he was there.

Verizon is by far the best mobile carrier for coverage in Wisconsin. I have heard some people will get good coverage with ATT depending on where it is...overall the coverage isn’t as good, but sometimes it will be better in that one specific spot you really need it. It does really well for me “Up North” and other unpopulated areas. Did me pretty well on my spring vacation driving through parts of AZ/NV/CA.
-
The whole lease/loan thing really is a big scam. Pretty much locks you into a contract with no reasonable way out. The other possibility is many people get so used to the $40 a month it doesn’t seem like a big deal and simply upgrading to a new phone every two years is no big deal. It’s like a monthly subscription...a trap. Get used to the payment, forget about the payment, and sit there spending money on something you don’t really need.

Well there is a difference between a pension being good because it is actually good and a pension being good because the person is financially illiterate. The later is why social security even exists, because people cannot voluntarily make good decisions for themselves.
-
Saying 401Ks are substantially worse is really inaccurate, especially without fine details of said person. When one gets into the pension (and leaves it) is a pretty important detail and how much they contribute is a pretty big deal (which tends to be a lot more than 20+ years ago). If we are being technical one would probably want a 401K for the first half of their career and then a pension for the later half. That probably is the most beneficial.

I hate SS and I am not really a fan of pensions either. The things I would do to be able to use that SS money for retirement myself.

This thread should be locked during non lunch/dinner times so I am not craving pizza at 9am.
-
Your opinion holds no weight here, sir! Haha, it is okay...but nowhere near best frozen pizza. At the end of the day I still feel like I am eating a cheaper frozen pizza. I will say for the price (which is important in my frozen pizza tastes) it is solid. The crust just seemed forgettable to me. I remember having it for the first time and wrote it off as another thing Chicago ‘burb people think is the greatest thing on earth that is simply normal/average.
-
lol Home Run Inn? That’s the best and no room for improvement? Must have been paid off to write that.
-
Trust me, I know. I have bought Cubs tickets direct or for other entertainment things. 12% in amusement taxes. LOL
-
There is a reason that hasn't happened...those are the channels everyone wants and they include them with a bunch of trash you don't want so you can pay more. That is one of the nice things about the streaming services...a lot less garbage channels you don't even want.
-
Well...not all of us live in Chicago. So your case is not very comparable to many. Where I live, to get all the channels I would want, I would need to get the middle tier cable package. After adding dumb monthly charges for HD boxes/DVR boxes and upgrading the internet to a faster speed it is about $190. Mind you this is the special intro pricing and it tells you it will be the standard price after the one year contract. I am sure it is notably more post one year. I can not bundle and instead do: internet for about $70 and Hulu Live with DVR/unlimited screens (what I currently have) for like $70. That is a total of $140. I will likely cancel Hulu entirely eventually. I don't watch that much TV and can always go to a family members house to watch the sports...or bar I suppose. As someone else mentioned YouTube has a lot of good content. Which is what I usually watch half the time anyway.

Is it sad I read this and thought, "So like a large?"
-
Yes, that's the one I mentioned in a different thread! They are excellent!!! I bought a couple about a year ago on sale, and loved them! Couldn't remember the actual name, knew it had ZA in it though... I may try one even if not one sale. Sometimes I just stare at the box in awe. Whoever designs the box deserves a raise.
-
Has anyone ever had a Real ‘Za? It looks pretty good on the box and almost got them when my grocery store had them on sale.

At least Dominos uses fresh dough. I am pretty sure Pizza Hut uses frozen pucks these days and it kind of shows. For that reason I definitely think the quality you get at Dominos can greatly vary depending on how well ran the store is ran. Some Dominos are ran badly and it really sheds a bad light on the ones that do good. I have never had Papa Johns or Jet's for that matter. I have typically not heard good things about either. Of course the only Jet's I knew of was in a Chicago 'burb where the people think Chicago pizza is the greatest thing to ever exist. However, I don't think a single Chicago area pie would be anywhere near the Top 10 I have ever had.
-
You know to be honest I actually really like the thin crust at Pizza Hut, no shame. The outer crust is arguably some of the best I have ever eaten and I just can't go wrong getting a pepperoni lovers. Overall it may not be great, but I just have to get it occasionally for those crusty filled bites at the end of every slice. My comparable to toppers sticks is the bread bites at Dominos...they are like gold nuggets of goodness. I like to get Neapolitan pizza sometimes, but that is a type of pizza pretty void in Wisconsin.
