Any sub $100 tablet suggestions? (Is the fire hd the only option)

I have a kindle fire hd8 that is hosed. Keeps turning off even after a hard reset, so it is a hardware issue.
Warranty is only 3 goddamn months, tablet is 6 months old. A bunch of bullshit.
Amazon will give me $20 off a new one, but I dunno that I want to reward bullshit again.
Use is only browsing the internet and watching netflix/hulu/amazon.

Guess I shoulda bought the extended warranty, I didn't realize this only had a 3 month warranty.

Were you in a coma or in prison? Why would you wait that long? I am generally trying to find reasons to smoke pork shoulders more than twice a month. Understand that the in between weeks are spent smoking ribs/steak/chicken.

I smoked a pot roast a few weeks ago and just thinking about the gravy makes me tear up it was that beautiful.

I took a Michigan left and my car sputtered out and died, wouldn't turn over. Got it to start after about fifteen minutes of looking at everything and I smelled a lot of petrol in the exhaust as I walked around the car letting it sit running for a second

Did it somehow get flooded and it's fine or did I bend a rod and it's about to blow up? Guess I'll have to take it to the mechanic and have him tell me

I lost all power and managed to turn it into a car park so either it misfired or flooded or something glaringly simple like that but good thing my brother is going to Mexico this week for business so I can let it sit for a while

Yes, fuel injected cars can still flood. No telling from over the internet why it cut off, its probably electrical, although during a sharp turn is a classic symptom of water in the gas tank.

If you suspect it of flooding, hold the pedal all the way to the floor and crank. Most every car has a "clear flood mode" that will shut down the injectors.

Can personally confirm that the Ion (which he also has) does have a flood clear mode - I use it every time I do an oil change to try and get the oil moving before letting it fire up (I crank it for about 15 seconds, then let go of the throttle and it starts up). But he said it wouldn't turn over at all?

I have a standard non Kindle Fire and it's held up great over the last year. Battery life could be better but it works great for all the stuff you listed and I think it was $35 during a Lightning deal.

A tablet that's Fire-branded without the "Kindle" branding.

Possible fuel filter issue? My Volvo 240 would stall taking a right at anything above a grandma pace because the fuel filter in the tank was 20 years old and clogged. I mean, unless I accelerated while turning, then it was fine :pcgaming:

Don't know how much they cost over your way but the wife and I have different variants of the Lenovo tab3 10". Both cost £100 and apart from a brightness bug which is fixed by installing an app, turning a setting off and removing the app, pretty good.

IDK really I guess i only buy pork shoulder when i see it on sale at 99c/lb

I prefer ribs TBH but these shoulders were great

i did a salt and pepper rub on one of them and it was extremely good, haven't ever done a pork butt without a full type of rub.
