Put it on the curb, post the ad. It's how I got rid of my son's old bed
my old town had a service where you could drag whatever to the curb and they'd pick it up, but you had to schedule/pay for it.

I scheduled it while I was moving out and took all my junk to the curb. a few hours later, before the town truck ever showed up, almost all of it was gone.

made me so annoyed that I wasted money when I could have just relied on people taking it.

When I've had a day off from work on trash day, there's a parade. Starting at dawn until the city truck arrives, there's a steady stream of scavengers.

Most appear to be harvesting metal. There's a scrap yard nearby and there's always a line on Saturday morning.

is it on NBC?

I'm watching a show about people lost at sea. Much more entertaining to me than the fucking Oscars

I have no idea. Not in front of tv, was just going to stream as background. Was on oscar site.

I hate that. Isn't it mostly Canadian broadcasting rules or something that prevent this though?

doubtful

The networks are so damn paranoid about their signal. NBC is finally breaking ground by streaming so many major events. Hopefully some of the others catch on with the thinking. Heck, I can't get a lot of my favorite TV channels on my computer even though I have a cable box. I only have a basic DTA in my room, so I don't get those channels in there either.

Some of the people at those networks need to find out that technology is their friend, not their enemy

I still don't understand why you'd want to listen to it. I understand watching with the sound off, just not the other way around

sound gives me more info than image. Other than the musical numbers, it's a talk show
