  - the NYTimes already said they had these emails, I am sure someone thought that releasing them would get ahead of the story -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 11, 08:39

Prime Day spoils so far: $5 credit for reloading $25 onto my balance, $9 for AmazonBasics 2-pack of HDMI cables, and recreating S&S items. - Shaun Jul 11, 07:38 45
- That $90 8-quart Instant Pot is tempting me. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 11, 07:57 3

  - KRUSTY ALERT!!! -- nm - Spawn Jul 11, 07:59 1
    - Heh. :-) We already have one. I paid slightly more than that for the 6 quart. -- nm - Krusty Jul 11, 08:02

  - Did you do the $5 reload offer? That's a no brainer. -- nm - Shaun Jul 11, 07:44 8
    - i would need an existing card to add it to though, right? -- nm - Andie Jul 11, 07:45 5
      - Damn it. The "card" on mine is actually Logan's. So if the deal pops up I would be reloading *him* with cash. -- nm - Spawn Jul 11, 07:46 2
        
        He's going to get that money one way or the other. - Will Hunting Jul 11, 07:48 1
        
        Yeah, but he has had the $50 gift card since X-mas. I think he has used $10 of it so far. - Spawn Jul 11, 07:50
      - No, there's a 'Reload Your Balance' option. -- nm* - Shaun Jul 11, 07:46 1

      - amazon.ca -- nm - Andie Jul 11, 07:44

  - get one so you can make dresses -- nm - decline Jul 11, 07:45
  - And I went to bed instead of finishing the shopping page I was going to make. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 11, 07:40 3

  - 3D print a boat. Duh. -- nm - Shaun Jul 11, 07:40 3
    - At 4.7" inches cubed, that would be tough. I'd be better off fiberglassing a wooden frame. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 11, 07:41 2
      - But where is the fun in that? - Spawn Jul 11, 07:42 1

        sounds good - I also want to try Farpoint :) -- nm* - decline Jul 11, 07:57 7
        
        I myself refuse to get the game/system. - Spawn Jul 11, 07:58 6
        
        You are too anti-PS to even consider having one, but I suppose you could get it on Rift/Vive. -- nm - Shaun Jul 11, 08:00 5
        
        I used the good system the library has. Played a cool Star Wars one. Being able to put my hand on top of R2 was pretty cool. -- nm* - Spawn Jul 11, 08:05 4
        
        That was not Batman. -- nm - Shaun Jul 11, 08:21 3

  - Yup. Sure, you don't need it today but you will or might in the future. Or, it's just something you want to try out. -- nm - Krusty Jul 11, 07:33 5
    - a lot of what I buy from things like this is for changes I plan on making/projects over the next few months - tRuMaN Jul 11, 07:38 4
      - Those are reasonable purchases and not just random crap you hope you'll use or like. I'm looking for a new power strip as well but it needs to have a - Krusty Jul 11, 07:42 3

- et mor chiken -- nm - Cow Jul 11, 07:18
Wait, there is a woot off, too? Isn't Prime Day supposed to be Amazon's woot off? -- nm - Spawn Jul 11, 07:16 3
- well since amazon owns woot, it sorta makes sense. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 11, 07:18 2
  - plus only the vanilla woot is have the woot-off, the rest of the woots arent. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 11, 07:19 1

        That looks like a very nice board. -- nm - Krusty Jul 11, 07:46 2
        
        i think it was the 170 version since it just an i5, but yeah everything has been perfectly stable so far. - tRuMaN Jul 11, 07:49 1
