  1. Mile, not far behind you!☺️. The last time I did any programming, was on punch cards in Fortran! But keep on learning! That's what keeps us young!!!
  2. Since as I have stated elsewhere my cell connection is several times faster than what I had available with DSL. I've got some serious bandwidth envy!
  3. Like this one, or better. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MTGM5I9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  4. Like Mile, I'm not quite sure what you are asking and since I do not have a ROKU, couldn't answer anyway. However, if you are looking into watching HULU and Netflix with your cell, they both have adequate APPS you can use on your cell. Personally, I have an adapter that I plug my cell into that then plugs into an HDMI cable going to my TV. The adapter also has a plug end so you can plug the cell phone charger in as well and charge your phone while watching TV. This is the one I bought. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009WHV3BM/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  5. There are lot's of ways to access, but both HULU and Netflix are subscription services. The services come with monthly billings, unless you get access through a different service like your cell phone contract. There is of course the multiple email sign up for free trials trick.
  6. In England I was on my laptop, tried two different VPN services ExpressVPN and TORVPN, every US location I tried was blocked. Even a couple of the somewhat secret servers. But like I said when I went to the ESPN site they let me sign on using my HULU account and I was able to watch the game on ESPN.
  7. Not sure about YouTube but I know HULU is VERY aggressive about blocking VPN servers. Found that out much to my dismay when I tried to connect while I was in England. Luckily ESPN was not so aggressive!
  8. Sorry, but Android is also Google! Not going there!
  9. It all depends on your particular situation and what is available to you. For Zline cutting the cord makes no sense, for me where the ONLY DSL was actually slower than my cell service, going cellular makes sense. In terms of streaming, again it depends on your needs and inclinations, for instance I refuse to use YouTube because it is owned by Google. I actually read the Google Terms and Conditions and avoid them like the plague!! Short answer there is no one size fits all answer!
  10. So was experimenting this weekend, started out with scratch olive oil mayo. 1st egg had too much lemon juice for my taste so made a second egg without and combined. Turned out well but a little salty, so I will reduce salt next time. https://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/olive-oil-mayonnaise-379245 Next I made some scratch sweet chili sauce, https://inquiringchef.com/thai-sweet-chili-sauce/ Since I'm trying to watch carb's, I substituted Stevia for the sugar, unfortunately still needed some sweet and since Stevia is so concentrated I ended up adding some sugar. Turned out well but not spectacular, will have to experiment some more. However, the ultimate goal was Bang Bang chicken salad. Boiled some chicken in chicken broth until fork tender, layered a bed of baby spinach mixed the shredded chicken with chopped scallions and chopped celery. Added in equal parts of the mayo and sweet chili, mixed all together and OMG!!! If you like spicier just add some Siracha sauce! You can of course just use store bought mayo and chili sauce but then you get all of those extra ingredients!
  11. Awesome! Bacon, cream cheese and jalapeno's are going to make anything taste great! And thanks to Julie!
  12. And not to be one of those people, I would share the homemade Bratwurst recipe I tried this weekend, but it had too much caraway for my tastes, so next time perhaps.
  13. Since this thread now includes recipes, ( courtesy of mile) I'm still waiting for the Rico Deer Bites and Zlinedavid vermouth recipes!! ☺️
  14. While I’m on the thought of tasting experiences, seems like the one that stands out the best for me was in Thailand! Visiting a vendor plant outside of Bangkok we went to an open air restaurant with no walls and a thatched roof! I noticed that the table had several tissue boxes on it and thought that odd! As we were eating some exceptional food the locals started using the tissues to wipe the sweat off their foreheads, yes the food was hot! I loved it! The food was great, the atmosphere was great, and the experience was great, can’t hardly beat it!
  15. Dang, this thread is messing with me as there are so many tasty treats out there in the world and living in rural Georgia the specialty is deep fried everything! At least they know how to do barbecue right!
  16. Living several years in Michigan a couple of specialties were smelt and morel mushrooms, especially the morels! and no I never heard of anyone putting them together
  17. I remember explicitly listening to the draft lottery numbers on the radio with several friends! While I was happy with 256 a good friend in the room came up number 3. There was no celebration that night!
  18. Truth be told in the animal house posting about strange food I was looking for a recipe and found a card my Mother left about a recipe that used a special implement that she had from her Grandmother. I still have it, and it must be WAY more than 100 years old. I'm just feeling old tonight!
  19. Crap, even worse, as I responded here I was RSVP'ing about a good friends retirement party. He's younger than me and retirement is nowhere in sight for me! now I am REALLY depressed! Good thing I have HSN to lift my spirits!
  20. Sorry but you just Made me feel really old as I was draft eligible during the Vietnam War (my number was 256, still remember it) and you referenced your grandpa.☹️ Hope it makes you feel young and viral though!
  21. Looked for a recipe of Reindeer Pasta, and this is all I came up with?
