It's been about 20 years since I watched cable/broadcast TV in my home. But yeah way back tvs didn't have inputs for other devices, instead you had a box which you put in between the antenna or cable signal and your device which basically over wrote channel 3(why channel 3? I have no idea) with whatever your device was out putting. So if you wanted to play Nintendo you would change to channel 3 and see Mario or metroid.

I think the old aggregator you were thinking of was dogpile.com

Please tell me a single government service which is profitable... Isn't that the point of taxes and government services? Fbi, cia, fda, irs, cdc, dot, doe, library of congress aren't all of them not profitable?

Expensive but cheaper than it looks like it should cost

I preferred the no poop for 3 days thing but both are classics

True. Years ago(I think 2010 ish) I went to NYC comic con. Zombies were all the rage (pun intended) at the time. One of the panels I saw was "preparing for a zombie apocalypse" with a bunch of people from walking dead and a director at the cdc.

The cdc director basically made the point that you should be prepared. A zombie apocalypse is not likely/possible but if that makes you actually get prepared for an emergency go for it. You need access to fresh water, access to edible food, any medications for you or your family, a plan to escape, a place to meet up etc etc. You need those in a zombie apocalypse but you also need them in a hurricane, tornado, war, earthquake etc. All require the same things to survive, if pretending it's zombies helps you get prepared great, as long as you get prepared.

I think antimony is what the last CEO of Intel used /s

If you don't get it antimony kinda looks like anti-money which would be like the opposite of money and intel lost a bunch of money recently.
