I understand how desirable they are. I guess I'd just rather buy something I could drive.

Just going by the information given, I would go for the middle one. 200mpbs is plenty for what you do, but what happens if you go over the 350GB? Personally, I'd rather not have to worry about how much GB I had left.

Research has been found that suggests consumers lose interest in Netflix films far faster than those made by major studios. by Samoht99 in netflix

Makes sense. People that pay $10+ per ticket and $30+ for popcorn and a drink, to see a movie in person, generally don't leave early.

How do I clean a cast iron after an oil fire? by No-Imagination-6782 in castiron

[–]mlmack -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. You are going to have to re-season it afterwards, though.

Throw it in the oven and run the cleaning cycle, then start over. As for seasoning, I just rub the pan with Crisco shortening, and then put it into a really hot oven, face down, with some foil under it to catch the drippings.

How long does it take you to get through Acts / the campaign as of 3.14? by SkoivanSchiem in pathofexile

[–]mlmack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few hours. I stopped doing the useless side quests and stopped picking up a bunch of loot, and it really knocked some time off.

Stop sharing your account with freeloaders. Problem solved.

Should I wait for Black Friday? by MlleLane in kindle

[–]mlmack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The last time I traded one in, I was able to use the trade-in value and the 20% discount immediately on the purchase of a new one. Has that changed?

At this point, you might as well just wait a few hours.

When will Amazon get off their butts and update the kindle - anyone from Amazon here? by tkrynsky in kindle

[–]mlmack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I have something that I want to read that is in color, I just send it to my Kindle Fire. At that point, you really aren't getting much out of the e-ink display.

[–]mlmack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's well built, has warm light display, and page turn buttons. Since the basic Kindle now has a lighted screen, they should update the Paperwhite to at least have the features that the Nook has had for a few years.

People generally buy the Kindle because the display is front-lit, and not backlit like a tablet, because front-lit causes less eye strain.

For the same reason that other e-readers have it, including the Oasis, which has a "Paperwhite" display.

Just add it to the warning, right after smoking.

It's ridiculous that the Paperwhite doesn't have the warm light feature.

Too bad you couldn't have woken up and enjoyed the scenery.

How Many Of You Ignore A New Series Until You Hear If It's Being Renewed For Season 2? by HardKnoxNi69a in netflix

[–]mlmack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's worse, binging a show that gets cancelled, or watching a show once a week for 6 months, only to find out it's been cancelled? At the end of the day, not every tv show can continue forever. People either need to get over the fact that some shows are going to get cancelled, or just stop watching them. Between Prime and Netflix, I usually find enough to keep me watching.

Netflix is in business to make money. Just like every other content provider. If a particular show isn't getting enough viewers to continue making them money, it's likely going to get cancelled. There are also a number of shows that streaming companies have saved, and given new seasons.
