  • I find the PlutoTV app to also be much more user-friendly and reliable than Paramount Plus. I would rather be able to have everything on demand and pay Paramount, but the Paramount Plus app is so buggy on my Smart TV and on Kodi that I’ve given up.

    The last straw was when I was actually contemplating writing a script to automatically restart Kodi because of how often Paramount Plus dies on Kodi.

    I agree with you that it’s nice in a way not even having to think about what to watch next. If something really bad comes on, like that pretty racist TNG episode from season 1 or the Voyage lizard episode, it’s a lot easier to just switch from the Star Trek to the More Trek channel, or vice versa, and be done with it.


  • Back pre-covid, I found the convenience of next-day and same-day shipping to be worth it. During and since Covid, though, it seems like actual delivery dates are a real crapshoot. You shop as a Prime Member, see next-day shipping, order, and the next-day shipping magically changes to 2 days from now. You then get the package 3-4 days later.

    When you order the same product as non-Prime, the shipping date shows a week out but you end up actually receiving it a couple days early. So in many if not most cases the “faster” shipping is non-existent, so why bother being a prime member?

    Not being a Prime member now, I find myself price-shopping more now, instead of just blindly ordering on Amazon to justify my Prime membership.
