Prease…. Netflix you get the one with ads duh. Prime you can steal some kids “student accounts”. All you have to do is just use an IP address that they determine is from a school and they’ll automatically offer you student pricing.

Disney plus or Netflix you can negotiate with Shaw / Telus to throw it into your bundle. Or threaten to leave !!!

Stupid dickbags at Amazon are denying me student account for Prime despite being a full time student.

Upon research, you only get to take advantage of the offer once. I used my BCIT status and they told me to get lost after (unintentionally) abusing it for a number of years.

I mean i'm on version 7 few years ago, and now it's version 11. The processor speed does increase YOY.

China is on a diff level, I'm assuming someone post it on their server and you just access their private server. You get all the series as well... Very end user friendly.

It's a) not full high def b) you do get limited western content (due to live time zone) c) you do get disney, prime, netflix movie all together.

Lastly.. i yelled my family. Who caressss...you're only watching Global and TVB for 100 bucks a month... now you get everything... and not a single ad from netflix.

I'm still OG. While I do have a bunch of steaming services (Netflix/Disney/Prime/Crave/Paramount) those only cover certain shows/movies. For HK dramas I usually stream for free on a website. For everything else I still torrent. If I really wanted to I can get rid of more streaming services and just go back to more torrenting but for the kids it's just easier.

Tons of lag, unsync video and sound feeds are the bane of my existence, hence why I don't use them.

ya when they work they're real nice when they don't, well...

i actually got ver11 for my parents for xmas. due to unreliability (they have slower speeds than me too) i know they'll keep cable tv, but it's a nice option as a supplement, i.e. more content - movies / shows on demand.

Not sure which one but my version 11, (and older ones too); you do have to clear cache. Press down on menu and it clears and it's fast again.

Yes, it does lag at times.

Man, I haven't owned a console since PS1. The only gaming I still do is mobile (Marvel Contest of Champions) which is a freemium game. I hardly ever spend any money on it and it's kept me entertained for about 7-8 years now lol.

Your kids might not be into Lego. They might be into destroying them.

And I did tour another day care as it was brand new location and between my house and current location. Prior to the tour, they wouldn't tell me their price, but claimed it was less than what I paid. During the tour, I see a sheet posted with their prices.... SAME price! And after talking to the teacher, they offered less than my current one, space it self wasn't as good either. They had 1 room to do everything eat sleep and play, so a lot of wasted time moving things for the next activity.

I will say though, of all the things that have assfucked me financially in life, this daycare certainly has allowed me to take it with a smile. They really are spectacular.
My kid came home potty trained. We didn't do shit.
