    I haven't had cable in about 8 years now. I do Netflix, Amazon Prime, and torrents. My total media expenditure is about $20/mo and I can watch literally anything, on any of my devices. A bunch of us from my work run a Plex server that we share access to. So far we have about 20TB of content on there.

    Bandwidth is also stupidly expensive here for no good reason...

    I have 8 - 10 hours a day at work where I can watch stuff while I'm working, so I pretty much just kill TV shows and movies

    Well if it makes you feel any better, I won't be getting it here any time soon either. Turns out that when you're Arizona's second biggest city, no one gives a f**k about you, lol

    My brain will always see that word as porn at first. There's nothing I can do about it, lol.

    And nope, is that some crazy Australian thing?
