ATSC 3 is broadcast in the Seattle area, but there's no 4k content. Superbowl is on Fox this year, I expect their 4k channel to broadcast it 4k, but it's probably going to be unconverted from 720p. Otherwise all the main networks are broadcasting 4k signals.
Note: Bought a hdhr 4k (two 4k, two 1080p tuners) and 4k broadcasts use AC-4 for audio, which only works with their hdhr app. Apps like Kodi, Plex and VLC can't decode AC-4 so all you get is video.

League of Denial was great. About how concussions in the NFL led to a condition known as CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy). I know someone who took their kid out of peewee football because of it. Was made into a movie starring Will Smith, but it largely ignored the actual doctor who co-wrote the book on CTE.
Also Ghosts of Rwanda, about the genocide that nobody tried to stop.
Not Frontline, but worth a watch is Slavery by Another Name. PBS details how the act of peonage was banned after the civil war, but heavily used in the south and ignored by the federal government. Blacks would get arrested for petty things like loitering, get huge fibes they couldn't pay off, so they were sold to companies for labor. Slavery 2.0

Looks like I was off a tad. Mugsy was drunk when he got the dart in his head.

Claire and Sam work out roomate rules, chore wheel, etc, now that Ben left to marry Sams ex-wife.
Mugsy, the guy who abandoned 9 kids, walks into the meeting with a dart stuck in his head, everyone tries to avoid talking about it until Claire just screams out "Hes got a dart in his head!!". Doesn't remember anything, wasn't drinking, just doesn't remember (because of the dart). So the group gets him all riled up, to go back to the bar and kick some ass, only to find out the dart was an accident and theres tons of selfie pics of him an others with the dart in his skull. Just as tension calm down, New Guy (having the group behind him) starts talking tough, punches the bar and breaks his arm (it bends in a way that it normally shouldn't).
Claire goes out on a date with Felix (the young latino/native American kid) and they agree that dating isnt going to be a thing, but still hang out. Hes not pushy, so their date ends on a good note.
Episode ends with Ben showing up at Sams apartment door, already divorced from Sams ex-wife, now sorry, back to being sober, etc, etc.

Love this show, started it last week, almost done with Season3.
Reading the Wiki, this was originally made for AT&T Audience Network (a private streaming service for ATT customers only?). Netflix Amazon bought the rights to stream it internationally, now that Audience Nework failed, its now available for all Netflix Amazon markets.
I got really excited since its set in Seattle and theres lots of B shots showing you obvious parts of the city, but its shot in Vancouver BC.

Correct. After this, no more updates to x86 MacOSX. Its all ARM from this point on, or until Apple gets bored switches to Texas Instruments OMAP format to sell more desktops.

Well NBC gave him a 200 million dollar deal and that's the best idea he had.

Glad they did that, I was curious what the prisoners were making. Assumed it was parts for AT-AT or some other Imperial transport.

I was hoping for a little more action in this last episode, but it looks like shits about to go next level for season2.
When Syril saved Dedra from the mob, I couldn't help but think "now kith!!"

Its for two types of people.

People who are disabled.

People who are too lazy to lift a finger to operate the touch screen.

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Disney owns the IP for the 2005 movie, but I suspect any TV show will be based on that movie and not the actual books or radio drama. If thats the case, better off letting BBC do a proper update.
NOTE: Its been 3 years since Hulu announce this show, im pretty sure its dead. No reports of a script, casting, director, etc.

Yeah Saru has her as first officer (for a few episodes) because she inspires hope in people (which is true, but dumb), but there was probably a dozen other crew members that had way more experience.

First season was kinda meh, the end of the Klingon war was down right stupid. Second season of Discovery was significantly better, mostly thanks to Pike, Spock and Number One in it. Third season was great! They managed to conjure up some interesting future tech and we have a cat as a cast member again!

When I lived on First Hill, no way could I get all channels. In Kent East Hill, I easily get them all using a $70 antenna built for RVs. You may need to upgrade your antenna if you got a $20 leaf clone.
