I have not had the TV on in weeks .... for ANYthing. No FOX, no sports ...

Same here. When there is a WH press conference or Trump speech, I can easily grab a feed off the web. I watch a little Netflix and AmazonPrime here and there and a lot of YouTube videos - you can really go down a rabbit hole on YouTube but at least you are only watching what you want.

I also watch all my video on my laptop or iPad. When I want to watch something with the wife, it's easy enough to project what's on my laptop to the wall-mounted big screen. But no cable, we've been off of that for three years.

Must also add that the past three months have been among the best of my life. I watch ZERO mainstream media, not even Hannity and Tucker (sorry guys) and I read a lot more books and listen to a lot more music. I have no concern whatsoever with this "chinese virus" that is said to be going around either.

Sam, I've been playing a ton of Civilization V while social distancing. LOL, it works out well because our 100 pound bundle of love (a Rotten Shepherd) blew out a knee and is confined to the first floor. All of our TVs are on the second floor. She also suffers from separation anxiety, meaning I sleep on the couch downstairs.

Why Civ 5, and not Civ 6? The modding community has produced thousands of mods to the program, including Generals and Admirals that are civilization specific. It kicks azz when I see one of those great men enter the game. It's also served as a history refresher when I see generals I don't recognize from the 18th and 19th centuries.

Civ 6 changed the dynamics of the game, which turned me off.

My TV viewing, as a result is down at least 90%. I turned off Fox News a few years back, haven't missed it a bit. And now I see how the current crop of Fox hosts are trying to outdo each other, showing us how woke they are.
