Topic | Worth it to buy a digital camera? |

Topic | Worth it to buy a digital camera? |
IdiotMachine 09/11/17 7:01:59 PM #2 | So I intend to just use my budget phone for everyday camera use, and for vacations/special events, bring a DSLR. I assume DSLRs don't need replacing every couple years, but is good for like a decade? Anyone know where I can start researching into this (before I start Googling and go down the wrong rabbit hole)? |
Topic | Worth it to buy a digital camera? |
IdiotMachine 09/11/17 6:58:56 PM #1 | I know nothing about taking pictures. I have been happily using my iPhones to take pictures. I need a new phone now, and I don't really care to spend $600+ on it. Seems like any Android phone around $2-300 is good for me................ except the camera. All these budget phones have pretty shitty cameras. So instead of spending $600+ every couple years just to get a phone with a good camera, I'm thinking of just buying an entry level DSLR camera for ~$500 and purchase budget phones every couple years. Think that's a viable option? |

Why not just keep it low in the first place... I guess me being frugal, I cannot accept "throwing away" upwards of $70/mo (from introductory $50 to current $120 cost) without a fight. |

IdiotMachine 09/09/17 2:34:31 PM #11 | RickyTheBAWSE posted... I got used to life without cable. My cable box is not even hooked up. I literally only have it because it's cheaper to bundle up than standalone internet service. |

IdiotMachine 09/09/17 2:31:36 PM #7 | Squidkids posted... Because there is no competition in the USA for cable/ net/ phone That's definitely true. My only real choice here is Comcast. I guess I should be happy that they're willing to drop down the price... |
Topic | Why do you HAVE to negotiate with Comcast? Ugh... |
IdiotMachine 09/09/17 2:26:21 PM #1 | I paid $50/mo for one year for the following: Basic Cable + HBO 25 mb/s internet This jumped to $70/mo. When I called to complain, they said they can't reduce the price, but will offer a speed boost to 100 mb/s. They also told me standalone internet will be more expensive, so might as well keep the cable + internet. I agreed. One year after that (today), the price jumped to $120/mo... I called to complain, and cited that new customers are getting $60/mo for the basic cable + HBO with 75 mb/s internet, and if I can get in on that. They said no, that's for new customers only. But what they can do is bring me back to the 2nd year introductory rate of $70/mo, and give me a speed boost to 200 mb/s for one year. Next year, the price will jump to $150/mo (with today's pricing), so they suggested I call a year later to get it back down (lol they know). Speed test confirmed that I'm getting 200 mb/s: http://beta.speedtest.net/result/6610541178 So................. why is it that I have to call in and complain to lower the price? Why not just keep it low in the first place... and why is internet-only more expensive than bundling up with TV, that I do not even watch? Bleh. TL;DR: Year 1- $50/mo. Year 2- $70/mo with 100 mb/s upgrade. Year 3- $120/mo, but negotiated down to $70/mo with 200 mb/s upgrade. Why do you HAVE to negotiate this crap? And why is internet-only more expensive than bundling up with TV? |

Topic | Do you have to pay $ when you get rescued? |
IdiotMachine 09/09/17 1:23:23 PM #6 | ArchiePeck posted... Actually, I've just googled this and it comes down to individual state law. Nomadic View posted... It's probably going to depend on if the state is contributory or comparative negligence. Even then there may be overriding factors such as rescue being an exception. Short answer; it's probably going to depend on the state. wow that sucks. I sort of expected it to be all covered under our taxes. |
Topic | Do you have to pay $ when you get rescued? |
IdiotMachine 09/09/17 1:00:56 PM #1 | Examples: You're hiking, get hurt, and seek aid. The local government sends a search and rescue team to rescue you. There's intense flooding everywhere and a search and rescue helicopter airlifts you out. You're out on a boat (in international waters) that's been commandeered. The navy comes and frees you. In all these examples, would you be liable for the cost of the rescue effort....? |

Same thing happens when your card expires. Banks will send them the new expiration date automatically. It's basically used for convenience and for you to avoid late fees. |

Topic | Any of you guys have Moviepass? |
IdiotMachine 09/03/17 7:09:30 PM #10 | AlternativeFAQS posted... Feline_Heart posted...I don't have it, but I read that you still can't watch the same movie more than once. It definitely seems worth buying though. You could potentially watch 31 movies for the price of one. Doesn't that violate the policy? |
Topic | Any of you guys have Moviepass? |
IdiotMachine 09/03/17 5:14:51 PM #1 | Can you watch a movie more than once? I have heard before the price cut, you couldn't... but now you can. Is it still one movie every 24 hours, or is it one movie per say? I have heard before, that it is one movie every 24 hours; thus if you watch a movie at night, you can't watch another movie the morning after. And lastly, do you think it's worth it? Any comments or your experience using it is welcome. |

IdiotMachine 08/28/17 7:22:56 PM #4 | Go_Totodile posted... It's a combination of both, just like weight loss. You need protein, but you also need to train your muscles. He seemed pretty adamant that skinny guys can get six packs with almost no work vs normal or fat guys, and that they'll get six packs before even getting any noticeable biceps if they start working out. |
Topic | Getting six pack abs is all in the diet. True/False? |
IdiotMachine 08/28/17 7:20:00 PM #1 | A bodybuilding friend told me this, that no matter how much you can do ab crunches, with weights added, you will never get a six pack unless you work on fixing your diet. That sounds plausible... Geez what a terrible life, if that's true. Forced to eat healthy all the time and exercise for hours on end? |
