Not really. All the services I use don't have ads, I can cancel at any time, and in total cost far less than regular old television. And then streaming, choosing what to watch when you want, is way better than watching whatever is on at the time.

People should just get two or three services for a household and switch when it's convenient.

Orrrr do what I do and run a Plex/Jellyfin server.

Paying above asking will cost a lot less than an extra 4% over 30 years.

Honestly fuck the roads.

Setting up proper zraid and dealing with Linux to get the server up was much harder than using nginx and buying a $4/yr domain.

And how to give access without setting yourself up to have the FBI raid your house or get sued to oblivion

I only use cash to buy things from people in my area.

I love Dutch Bros but they all look just like this too. Often with cars forming a line in the actual street.

Nice shout-out to Prospect.

The damage to roads from added weight is absolutely tiny, practically negligible. Even pickup trucks barely cause any damage. Semis do exponentially more damage.

Kinda big thing to not include

Smart watch. Great for notifications and telling me if I need to pull my phone out and reply or not, whether mid conversation, driving, cooking, etc. Also fitness tracker so I don't need my phone on a run.

I would never wear a dumb watch. I need my watch to do more than tell time.

Because the nerdy engineers hosting these are not great at naming things.

You often need less heat than you think. Use oil. Pretty much everything should cook better in a stainless with a little bit of learning curve, except eggs.* Yes, even fish. Keep steel wool and barkeeper's friend handy for scrubbing them back to a shiny polish.

*Cook eggs in a non stick that you use for basically nothing but eggs.

Despite the quality of the guests, there wasn't one.

Most religious holidays have already been moved people in three generations won't care. Most will appreciate the weekend adjacent scheduling. Things like the Fourth of July can just be Independence Day like it already is.

Melt is crazy good. Half sandwiches, vegan, gluten free, or full on grease and meat and dairy. I go once every time I visit Ohio. I'd go twice if I hated my body.

In Colorado, that has been my experience for over a decade. Food truck food was never cheap here. In Portland, just this year, I managed a few great and cheap meals from their food carts.

Is she still willing to acknowledge worries from people about phones and microwaves? Or is she supporting science this year?

Hey technically only 12% of the world's population lives in the southern hemisphere. Nowhere close to half.

Same day every year is definitely a feature. Make holidays on Fridays or Mondays. Celebrate your birthday on Saturday if you want.
