Toms Guide suggests Prime is a general package of services with a video option that acts as a portal to other paid services. p-a-y-w-a-l-l.

I did get to binge watch The Wire at my son's house. Was it like that? If we're straying off movies that have [shone/shown] in theaters, how about Irving Finkel at the Royal Institution. He read (in cuneiform) that Noah's Ark was a big ol' coracle, so he went out and built one!

A mash-up of historical revision and maker videos. He's quite the character.

My Ma pays the Prime fees and basically makes it all back with the sheer volume of crap she orders. We get the benefit of Prime video on her account! My Pa uses it sometimes, my Ma basically not at all.

I have never watched The Wire, so I can’t comment.

I’ll hit up Finkel when I’m back in the mood for history. Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History series on WWI has basically satisfied me on history for basically a few years. He’s so good, that he did more on audio than a video doc could ever do (though IIRC it was 16 hours or so, perfect for a truck driver). If we can include podcasts here, his telling of WWI is off-the-charts amazing, I won’t even waste words trying to describe it as words are too cheap.

That said, I think that’s right up my alley, someone curious making something cool.
