Ah damn, and it looks like almonds are grown mostly in California. Adding insult to injury.
California-grown almonds account for 80 per cent of the world’s commercial almond production.

In my rural area’s 50 mile radius, there are just gas stations with to-go bags. The gas stations are, at best, convenience stores.
I uninstalled the app after seeing it was just an advertising opportunity for those gas stations.
Alternatively, if they are happy with their pro-grums, familiar with the interface, and not getting gouged worse than the next cable subscriber — consider letting it rest.
From things like being able to punch in a channel number to having the cable company to call for issues, folks in that generation might really prefer paying.
I’m basing this on my years of experience with a now 60-something and now 80-something. YMMV
I asked Tidal to expand on the why. Not the most satisfying answer, but I thought this was a fun sentence:
We can confirm that since your account was activated with TIDAL Direct billing, you can still use the Plex app, and since the partnership will be concluded at some point, it won’t work any more.
🤦♂️
I tried it, and it’s a real nice way to discover stuff. I’m coming off the Tidal 2 month trial, and part of me wishes I hadn’t tried this functionality (because I will miss it).
It was probably Aspen Dental.
It’s not so much the motivation, but the just doing it. Shia has a great video on the subject:
Similar - I signed up for my Spotify account with a VPN, as it was only available in Europe / UK / something like that. Have been paying for as long as I can remember.
With our family account, we had a house account, wife, mother, grandmother, and myself. In reality, only 2 of those accounts really got used.
The family verification emails were definitely annoying. But the yearly price hike with few important feature improvements, combined with things like audiobooks being for the primary account only, caused me to re-eval.
Now, my wife is on a student plan on Spotify, and I’m trialing Tidal. I expect to stick with Tidal based on lossless and higher pay for artists. If I don’t, I’ll likely swing over to Apple Music. Switching and migrating playlists is pretty painless, overall.
In any case, I’m glad I’m out of that abusive relationship with Spotify.
I just switched from Spotify to Tidal, and am enjoying lossless audio. We’ll see if I stay or go here.
It’s fun to try a new algorithm, too. I used SongShift to transfer my tracks and playlists (have been using that app for 5 years or so now).

I have a Soda Stream and use powders. The trick is to turn your powder into a “syrup” first.
Mix your powder with 1-2 oz of water, stir it well (I use a hand held milk frother), and then put that into your bubbly water.
Classic, “what the fuck did I do here and why did I think this was a good idea,” material.
Hey thanks for your work. QBT and Jackett are super stable and well done.
Electric toothbrush.
Invest in your teeth. Trust me.
I’m right there with you.
As a guy who doesn’t buy many pillows in life, but has bought some nice curtains, I guess I’m not necessarily surprised.
On the other hand, the older I get, the more excited I am to greet the next day.
I also enjoy an earlier bed time than I used to, usually.
