Title: Quit Streaming Video - Cold Turkey!
Post by: jonchappelle on May 17, 2016, 08:05:15 AM
I don't own a television, & grew up without ever watching cable TV. I've never paid for cable TV, but somehow streaming services stole my soul. With nearly unlimited free sources of media out there, it is a very frugal option, but I don't want this addiction to drive me blindly thru life.

Last night my network drivers crapped out. I was mindlessly searching for somethign new to watch when this happened. In a flurry of panic, I troubleshooted every point of failure. The search for a solution was more entertaining than anything I would have watched that night... So it's time to rebuild my PC, and go back to my roots, so no more Kodi. I'll have to fill my time with something else, hopefully more productive, and stay frugal. We'll see how many days I can make it. 30 days for a habit, right?
