Amen, my friend, amen. But so far, it beats the alternative.

You realize how stupid AI can be when you are watching Monday Night Football and ask your phone for the names of the starting quarterbacks - and hear "There are no NFL games scheduled for tonight Nov 24"

Hmmm... I tried that. An AI enhanced search gave me a list of all collegiate quarterbacks by division, a list of all NFL quarterbacks sorted by team name and what seemed to be a random link to the Springboks (South African rugby team). Perhaps the search mistook a scrum-half for a quarterback?

A dumb search came up a link to the 49ers vs Panthers playing tonight, the Cowboys vs. Raiders who played last Monday and a link to a random MNF schedule. Slightly more useful.

OTOH, I am watching NHL (Golden Knights vs. Mammoths) with updates from the other games though will be switching to the Senators/Kings game. In French but doesn't take much to understand. The games in Punjabi are more fun though since one of the announcers gets very excited.

One has to love the range of languages that Hockey games are broadcast in.

In the last couple of weeks I discovered that one of the few stores that still sold dvds and blurays in their stores up until recently has decided to stop doing so. So now the only store that still sells new movies is a bookstore chain, which has a small section of dvds and blurays, which doesn't get added to very often. It's also mostly newer B/C/D/etc movies.

I've been curating my movie collection lately. Adding my favourites I don't already have and replacing others when bluray or 4k is available.

Sure, online I can find everything I want. But I still love to just browse through rows and rows of movies. That's the reason why I buy most of my vinyl and cds in stores and vinyl markets.

A lot of thrift stores have a healthy movie section, but it's mostly dvds, whilst I now shifted my focus to bluray and 4k.

Bluray never sold as well as DVD did and streaming has basically killed both.

There are so many different streaming service, all who are slowly raising the price and some adding ads unless you pay for a premium subscription. Movies and series moving from one streaming service to another and disappearing altogether from streaming. I like to have my favourites on physical media so I can always watch them when I want to.

You see with music there is also a bit of a comeback for physical media, especially vinyl.
