    Cable nostalgia persists as streaming gets more expensive, fragmented

    What about broadcast? There's no nostalgia for that?

    But then what's actually holding the post? Just this expanded foam? At least with my method, there is direct contact with tight soil. Granted my method wouldn't work where there's a lot of sand or rock. But I grew up driving fence posts with a post driver- if that's good enough to hold cattle...

    If it's streaming (firestick), it has an internet connection, no?

    It's all a racket, ESPecially the sports. They simply think they have a captive audience of sports addicts. I love to see this, people cutting the cord because they're forced to buy packages that are perpetually hiking mainly due to sports content. The cord cutting only causes providers to hike...

    I just smashed the bottom 1' flat and directly sunk with a fence post driver. Ready instantly.

    The DBS industry, between charlie & eddy et al. cooked their golden goose to death. Remember the cachet and positive buzz around satellite when DTV came out, how all the big electronics makers wanted in, how they could sell systems for $100s? And then DiSH, promising both great value AND great...

    I've only seen the consumer gap-filling foam or commercial icenene foam sprayed in basements for insulation. Never for polesetting. I would be interested in documentation for this use.

    Oh, OK...too much quantity and have to use it all at once. So I guess the larger one would be economical if you had 10 deck posts all set up for a 1-go run. So then...what actually is the stuff, chemically? As in icenene foam, polyurethane, etc.

    Don't ask, don't tell...don't tell me you didn't see that coming. Best I got was a full bottle of homemade. On looking at the two I don't see any difference other than one headlines itself as sat post "cement" and for general deck/fence/mailbox post setting. Both are 2-part expanding foam...

    I'm sure they have to maintain a policy of not accepting tips to keep workers from asking or hinting for them. It becomes effectively a policy of not asking, but not refusing either. I got 'tipped' occasionally but customers knew it was my own business. I guess the new spot worked, but simply...

    Because the like of DiSH muscled them out. Why was placement in mid-yard; were possible locations discussed, such as if a different placement would work? How do you know that your proposed preferable location gets signal?

    You can switch quickly & seamlessly between channels/programs rather than haltingly & clunkily between apps.

    Exactly, and c. systematically, er, systemically (issues were always "systemic") kicked us all in the teeth. Now he's on tv with Cantey talking about how he'll send these knuckleheads, er, technicians, to your home to switch your mobile phone service. Wonder if any local dealers are being used...
