The battery died with 20 minutes left and now I cant stop thinking about it

I know the ending probably but I dont KNOW the ending and this is worse somehow

Does anyone else get stuck on unfinished media or am I broken

I have three half watched shows from last year alone I never went back to

My travel setup: 42U rack at home, 15A circuit, the wife says I watch too much

But on planes I use 20000mah battery bank measured at 74Wh actual

Your battery management is suboptimal friend

Guys this is actually margin question

Netflix subscription vs time spent finishing = ROI on attention

Any leads on shows actually worth completing their getting rare

your margin is my opportunity

You're thinking about this wrong

Just edge the ending in your mind. Cache hit ratio on imagination is 100%, no origin server needed

I stop films early on purpose sometimes. Keeps them alive

Actually is not my circus, not my monkeys if you dont finish

XD I have 12 shows unfinished and I dont feel bad

Double negative: I dont never feel bad about this

You make too much drama brother

The real crime is airline seatback screens. 480p, scratched, and they always freeze at the good part. I bring my own tablet now but the battery anxiety is real.

This. I had the seatback screen too but it was some film I'd already seen. Switched to my laptop for the new thing and paid the price.

Glasgow to Doha is long enough that "charge before you board" is not a complete strategy apparently

Long haul is just distributed systems with worse failover. No redundancy on personal battery.

I solve this with two power banks and a phone that still has a headphone jack. Estonian budget airlines taught me this.
