Hell of a conversation to have with a 7 year old isn’t it.

Concerning the apparent 7 year old seems to have a decent grasp of a lot of human concepts and feelings but doesn’t care if people die…

Yeah. Still feel its just "reciting" - like being around family & friends in uplifting moments makes it feel happy - who are your family & friends you've experienced this with might've been a good follow up question.

But **** it could explain human feeling/emotion way better than me. If ya had to turn on of us off based on a conversation I wouldn't like my chances lol

Prove to me you're sentient.

How the **** would a bona fide human being answer that?

Speaking of, someone I know is in Korea atm and waiting for negative PCR to be let out of hotel. Got served this plate of what I can only describe as ‘assorted human food’.

6 fries, 1/10 of a sandwich, single orange slice… three pickle slices… yep that seems like a balanced serve of human food

Optus have decided they're going to start charging for Optus Sports even though I pay them for my internet.

See ya.

 

[HaroldBishop]

What sports do you watch on Optus HB? The EPL?

Yep

 

[MrDravid]

They still have ESPN on Kayo?

Or can you get a season pass from the NHL? I know the NBA do one.

 

[Shortfin Mako]

So they are charging for that now? That sucks.

I had a mission trying to figure out how to watch the NHL this season. They transferred the rights to ESPN, which is owned by Optus (Fetch).

The ONLY way to subscribe to Fetch is to buy a box. You don’t actually have to use the box to watch it. There is an app for that, or you can use your PC - but you MUST own a box. The hockey itself is only $6/month, but the box was $200 and now sits in a draw collecting dust 179 out of every 180 days.

I like the Fetch box because we can record stuff or pause live TV.

Ours died recently. I just hooked up a portable hard drive to the tv, does the same thing.

Kayo shows a few games a week, and a lot of finals - but if you follow a smaller-market team like I do (Ottawa) you don't get to see them play at all.

I had the NHL streaming service (NHL TV) for several years. It was about $180/year and it was awesome. Prior to the 2021-22 season the NHL sold the streaming rights for Australia to ESPN, and made their own direct service unavailable to Australian customers. I could have used a VPN, but it makes it painful to move between different devices/TVs in my house.

I end up in front after 2 years. $200 box +$6/month across 2 seasons is ~$300, which is cheaper than $180/year. It's just funny that I have to own a $200 box to sit there and gather dust.

Optus is my Internet provider. They give people free Fetch boxes when they sign up. I asked them for one and they said 'that's only for new customers". I asked if I could cancel and sign up again, and they said "Sure - but it's a 6 week turnaround and you have to pay $200 for a new router".

Can you clarify what box you bought for the NHL, I had all sorts of trouble getting that going this year so just canned it.
