    Plenty of anime-watchers here. Just no topic allowed because some idiots think it's ok to watch (and then post) the creepy side of NSFW anime and post screenies of it on the forum.

    Maybe I'm wording it wrong: The ardent anti-vaxxers apparently have nothing better to worry about than a vague correlation between autism and vaccination.

    You know what, I'd rather have a kid with autism than a kid with a coffin. I'm careful of expressing this belief however, in case it sounds like I agree with their central premise.

    Anti vaxxers are horrible people who should have their children taken away for child abuse.

    Or you know, kids should have to get vaccines regardless of the homeopathic bullshit their parents buy into.

    Oh dear. We're fantasizing about Big Government breaking families up and making children wards of the State. Yep, it's a Monday on the PA boards.

    Do you understand how herd immunity works? Or how we had almost eliminated a bunch of childhood diseases but now they're coming back because morons don't inoculate their kids?

    It's a simple fix for me, ban home schooling and require all students to get immunizations to attend school. Two birds with one stone.

    Well, "rage media" is something I'm generally coasting down from. It began with me cutting myself off - as effectively as possible - from Fairfax media and "serious" political commentary shows, but it's progressed to losing general interest in The Daily Show and Colbert, which is kind of a loss.

    I'm less and less convinced that being "engaged" with politics is actually helpful.

    I also want to add that interoperability between media center software and drivers is never a given, either. Sometimes something *should* work on paper or according to an internet howto, but it just doesn't work in execution for whatever reason.

    So there's also a question of how you feel about experimenting for sometimes months on end before you reach a solution that actually works?

    I think it's going to be expensive whichever way I do it. I have to buy an antenna and a tv tuner card both of which can be pretty expensive if you get good ones. Then you have to find an unknown configuration of software that will accept the tuner input and stream it to an app on my iPad that supports it.

    I made one myself and it outperforms a powered Radio Shack antenna purchased from a store. Although if you live in a rural or suburban area far from the nearest towers, then you will need to mount a big-ass antenna in your attic or on your roof. DIY options can't help you there, but reception maps on the web and nearby home improvement stores can.
