lol. Cybertrucks are looking like my sink.

They should invest heavily in Barkeepers Friend. Works pretty well on the sink.

I just used my regular credit card. But I know you can get a prepaid card for international purposes like this. I don’t remember what that’s called. I think it’s green, lol.

There’s a lot whole subreddit about getting YouTube premium for affordable prices with good info.

That is exactly what I did. If you Google it, you can find a list of the cheapest countries. Some of the cheaper options didn’t work for some reason related to how payments are processed in those places but I found one that went worked on the 3rd or 4th try.

If I remember right, I was able to use Ukraine. I think Argentina is the cheapest around $1 a month.

I’m happy to pay for product and services I use at reasonable prices. It makes me angry that they can offer this service for much less and still make.

I’ll be honest. I did. With a VPN. It costs me $2.50 a month.

I can’t remember where it was, but I used to work at a title company. We processed a refinance on “Whiskey Dick Ln”.

I use it to get around website article limits when they try to force me to sign up.

I don’t know why your Spotify was pausing! Just thought I’d share my experience, in case it helped you or someone else researching this in the future.

I can’t tell you how many times I have been saved by finding a 2 year old forum post with the same issue that I was having.

This kept happening to me. Then, I realized my account was compromised. Someone in China was also using it to listen to music. It kept pausing every time they started playing a song.

Why would they think this is okay?

Audible replaced a version of a book my boyfriend bought with a completely different version of the same book. I mean a different narrator and everything. He had purchased the book a few years earlier but he didn’t manage to get a refund from them.

Also, I really want malls to be turned into mixed use facilities. Like all the small stores are apartments and the big anchoring spaces on the ends of the mall would be grocery stores and shopping. Imagine you forgot to pick up milk after work so you just walk to the other end of the mall and buy it. I love that idea.

This. I work in commercial real estate and it’s kind of hard to turn into house. It’s cheaper for them to just knock it down and start over.

The issue is the electricity and plumbing. In a commercial building these tend to run up and down the middle or just one side of the building. Apartments need to equally have access to utilities so they’d had to do a ton of construction to move plumbing and wiring into the correct places.
