Re: Cool new flicks to rent through Roxie Theater, Robert Apr 18 12:08

I couldn't figure out what devices they support at all. I guess we could just try it and see if it works. If it doesn't, then it can be considered a donation.

    I researched it some yesterday. It definitely won't work on Roku any more. (The VHX.TV channel was discontinued.) Unfortunately.

  One problem was that his death was posted as an unconfirmed rumor a day before the official announcement, so the non-rumor press may have been bending over backward.

Re: Is the Coronavirus 'Peak' a Mirage? (fwd), robert Apr 19 10:51

It will be very odd if shelter-in-place lasts months. Extraverts would especially have a difficult time. I wonder if this means that only intraverts will be left when this is all over?
