Because only a complete moron would say the ACA did nothing.

Is it great? No but it's so, so much better than what existed before. It literally has saved many lives and if not for that shitstain Lieberman could've gone further.

Maybe everyone here is too young to realize how awful healthcare was before that.

Criticize sure but people sound like idiots when they downtalk a huge piece of legislation that actually improved things a lot, even if not obviously being the best solution.

    Living here I can tell you it feels so much more red. Maga bullshit did a number on people and extreme gerrymandering hasn't helped.

    I'd long to be purple. Sadly I feel this is an aberration but I'll take the reprieve. Voters here need to wake up permanently and not just vote every so often when it's terrible enough.

  • I think I got it going. At least just on a test channel. I think it's more that I want to know how I could organize all 4 parts (b, bg, t, tg) to put into a playout and not duplicate. Ie. some channels will have certain blocks that could be used elsewhere.

    I won't have time anytime soon to mess with it more but thanks for at least prompting me to look into it more. I do think I'd like at least a couple channels on a defined schedule like old school TV. Reminds me I should donate to this project- I use it a lot more nowadays.

    At this point I might ask you for directions, ha. I am only maybe today getting around to messing with it more. I think a redesign could make it easier (and I'm not sure why it has so many things- blocks, block groups, templates, template groups, etc.) Very customizable I suppose but a bit tough to get going.

    Glad to see you got it mostly going though.

    Ahh. I've never used blocks- just the classic scheduling. I think me not understanding it probably steered me away.

    I could tell you how I have classic scheduling. I set it up, add "schedule items" and while mine are dynamic time and in multiples of two, you can select fixed time. So you could add star trek TNG to start at 730 and play X amount of episodes.

    Really it just gets hairy if you really want to start at clean intervals I think. I agree it's very convoluted.

    Edit- didn't see your day requirements. It won't work then I don't think. Once I get some free time maybe this weekend I'll try playing around with it. Id honestly prefer one or two channels of my own to be more defined like this.

    Further edit- near as I can tell you...

    • add your blocks
    • make a template group (channel 344 maybe)
    • make templates underneath that with blocks
    • make a new play out attached to your channel
    • add template group items under that with your days/times

    I think...

    Just want to say this place and the people are really cool. Went recently with a group for an outing.

    1. Had no idea there was a curling club in the metro to begin with so that's cool.
    2. All the people there were really cool and welcoming. They walked us through how to play (and safely) and were very helpful. Didn't matter if you had issues getting going or doing any of the "jobs"- they were there to help and make sure everyone had a good time.
    3. They actually have leagues and all that too if you want to keep doing it.

    Not a part of their org but could honestly see myself doing some kind of league in the future. It's all non-profit so I think it all just goes to grow the sport and such in the region. Really nondescript location out in the middle of nowhere West Chester (reminds me of driving to Dogberry honestly) but ran by great people with a lot of enthusiasm for the project.

    Highly recommend for a fun outing with like your work people or just a group of friends. I did not set it up (only attended) so couldn't tell you about setting it up but I'm sure they're easy to call/email and get it going. Link is in the post title.
