4 long and sufferable years.  I actually had a decent looking gf for my last 2 years.  She wanted to move to Oregon with me after she graduated, but I didn't think it would be a good move for her.  She's a southern gal through and through and I was travelling all the time.  She would have been miserable here.  She ended up marrying a good friend of mine and they have two kids together living in Ft. Worth.

Unlimited Naan is the name of my all-Indian tribute to the 4 Naan Blondes, a 4 Non Blondes cover band.

:lmao:   I think this is my favorite "cover band" post ever.  No B game here.

It's stealing plain and simple once you use Kodi to access content that is only available via a subscription elsewhere.

Well OK then.  Guess I should have specified legality in my initial inquiry.

Hawk's declaration is somewhat in dispute amongst the Streaming Public (TM), but I doubt I'll ever use Kodi just because I don't watch all that much TV and don't have to see the most recent movies, any of 'em before they are "legal". Hell, I have access to more stuff NOW than I need.

 
I was going to just post something that ultimately seemed self-congratulatory about the Trump thread, and then realized I was starting with "It's weird posting something in the Trump thread" and that that was enough in and of itself. 

 
So far, while sitting at my desk, I have been offered breakfast tacos, cinnamon rolls, chocolate-covered strawberries, and orange slices. Glad I'm only here once a week. :porked:

 
Regarding Kodi's legality, it depends. Like others have pointed out, it can be used to "steal" content, such as PPV UFC fights, movies, tv etc, but that part is still a gray area. It is undoubtedly illegal to be the provider, but the consumers are so far untouched. There have been rumblings in the U.K. from internet service providers, but the worst anyone have seen is their internet speed throttled. VPN services is a good way around that for those worried.

There are however many other uses for Kodi, such as streaming free content, or content you pay for, to devices not able to receive a normal signal. 

Another area could be streaming content not available to subscribe to in your current area. As an example, I don't have any way to subscribe to and pay for Racing UK (English horse racing channel), TSN, Eurosport, etc. if I could I would. I stream these without a second thought.

I also stream content from the BBC, which they provide for free on their website, on YouTube and other means, but I don't want to watch on my computer. (They have a ton of documentaries). I usually stream the olympics, because I think NBC's coverage is horrific, but they also have it all online, untouched for free if you have a cable subscription.

:shrug:  as with everything it can be abused, but just because it is possible to abuse doesn't mean that is the only use. K4 mentioned wanting to see PBS, that is free, and if OTA isn't possible, Kodi can be an option.

ETA: stupid autocorrect

ETA2: I am watching a documentary on the Bradford City stadium fire right now. No way that is ever making it to any US channel, but BT Sports stream it for free.

Can I watch the darts I'm gambling on?  (+ 3u so far, degenerates)

 
On ferry from Seattle and there is a lady and her mom... and lady is EXPLAINING TO HER MOM HOW TO EAT NAAN.  Looks like they picked up Indian on the Edmonds side and are making an evening of it.

I feel like the good Lord put me on this planet just to help out here.

This seems self explanatory to me.

Was the mom trying to absorb it through her pores or something?
