“hundredths of dollars”

Not *just* college students.

2017, they said this:

I don’t think Netflix will see a huge amount of lost paying customers but I suspect a lot of people who share passwords will not be signing up themselves. 

The dumbest part of this is doing this “crackdown” and not also offering a multi-family option. When Spotify rolled out this option a couple years ago I happily plunked down more money to let my brother get Spotify (he’s on disability). I get wanting people to pay for the service, but like other people said here,…

Hopefully they base it on device ID and not IP addresses. I switched to mobile internet last year, and it did not work with Hulu Live TV due to the variable IP address. I dropped them for a competitor and will happily do the same for Netflix if that’s the case.

I’m wondering how Netflix plans to handle the case of “households” not being defined by a physical location. After all, they don’t have Household Plans... they have Family Plans. A family is not a household. I have a daughter in her first year of college. She’s doing school full time and not working. She’s on my…

I’m paying for my son’s college tuition, room & board, car & car insurance and health insurance. Why should I need to pay for TWO accounts while he is away at college? He’s part of my family.

When every studio and publisher has created their own platform and we’re expected to buy a subscription to all of them? Yes.

This is going to be exceptionally annoying for anyone who splits time between multiple households. My parents live in two separate households I split my time between, but I’m the netflix account holder. Their TV’s are hardly portable.

The best ice scraper I’ve ever had doesn’t even have those ridges. It’s just a real thin piece of metal. REALLY good at getting under the ice. Works ten times better than any plastic-bladed scraper:

All good reasons. But it’s not easier or faster. 

“It’s easier, cheaper and no more time to make it from scratch.”

We’ve pretty much switched to Carbone for the “emergency sauce” we keep in the pantry. I’m sort of in the same boat - I’d generally prefer to make a quick Hazan style marinara almost always, but my wife doesn’t cook at all, so if I’m running late from work or otherwise unavailable, she will use the Carbone for her and…

It’s easier and faster to gather a bunch of ingredients, chop them up and/or open cans of tomatoes, and stand around and cook sauce than to open a jar? I agree that cheaper may fit, but it’s definitely not easier or no more time to make it from scratch. It takes 5 seconds to open a jar.

I went herb garden a few years back. Where I live, 28oz regular canned tomatoes are $1.39, San Marzano are $3.99. Carbone’s is $7.49, Rao’s is $8.99.

I haven’t tried or even seen Carbone’s sauce in a store.

This is kind of a side note, but the secret to my tomato soup is to pour a can of generic tomato sauce into a small pan and roast it in the oven for ~20-30 minutes. I also roast onion, carrot and red pepper, peel the peppers, chuck it all in the blender. And then stir that into a box or can of crushed tomatoes and add…

As a single 30 year old that rarely makes pasta, I wouldn’t mind spending $8 on a jar of great sauce, but I can see that being pretty pricey if you’re cooking for the whole family/meal prepping.

There are a lot of things that you can buy rather than make yourself, and some of them are worth it: I just made coleslaw the other day, paid $5 for a cabbage (!!!), plus a couple carrots and half a jar of mayonnaise (not counting the sugar and vinegar). Great, but after the time and cleanup, I would have been at the…
