Why Is This So Hard? - 24 May 2021 - Plague Journal Day 438

Micah 6:8
Matthew 7:7-11
Yes, your life matters.

We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?

What's wrong with the BBC? They make some wonderful television (and some stinkers too), but they make it so hard for us to watch on this side of the pond.

Sure, there's BBC America, with a smattering of the real stuff and then reruns of our stuff too.


There's some content available on Netflix - at least for a while, then it goes away.

There are even DVDs of the programmes available on Amazon - but only Region 2, so we'd have to buy separate players or rip the DVDs on a computer to watch them. (By the way, thanks to the industry for setting those regions, it certainly makes your customers happier to do business with you. Jerks.)

Why don't they just let us pay a license fee as their locals do and then stream the programmes. There are a lot of us who would gladly pay to be able to do this simply and legally. It can't be that hard to figure out.

grr.

Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
The mental health issues related to our lockdown and the pandemic are especially hard for people with depression. NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, has a 24 hour helpline: 800-950-6264.
