- A seed box (Whatbox). I'm paying USD 15/month, and they've actually upgraded my storage and bandwidth twice now without any price increases. I think I've been using that for roughly 10 years now. At this point, it's cheaper than any single streaming service, while allowing me access to basically every TV show and movie ever produced, and I can easily share my library with friends via Plex. Now that I have *aars, it's very little effort to keep up with my favorite shows.
- Whatever the YouTube music thing is called now. I signed up when it was brand new, and while I occasionally consider going back to piracy for music, it's just not worth the effort for me these days, but I am extremely opposed to ads.
- Amazon Prime. I should probably cancel, but I don't have a car and definitely utilize the same day delivery quite often.
- Housing. Do mortgage payments & HOA fees count as subscriptions? Lol. I definitely get a lot of value out of housing, and appreciate the fact that I don't have to wonder if my landlord is going to renew my lease each year.

But the comment says it would apply to buildings with over 10 units. So, for a building with 11 units, that gives 132 unit-months per year. With a maximum unoccupied rate, that's 6.6 unit-months per year.
As the renter, I'd really appreciate my landlord wait until I've actually moved out to start showing my unit, although they don't always do that. Assume all 11 units decide to move at the end of their leases, that means the owner has a little about 3 weeks per unit to clean, do any maintenance and repairs, and find a new tenant. If the unit needs extensive repairs/cleaning, the owner probably doesn't want to even start showing it until the repairs are completed. Hopefully most tenants renew their leases and stay longer than 1 year, but the owner can't count on that. Even on a larger building, the numbers still average out to 3 weeks per unit, but at least the effect of a few extra non-renewals is smaller.
I think a 90% occupancy rate would be a little more realistic, but would probably still need some room for exceptions.
Sorry, lol, that was definitely not my intention! I've definitely heard about the "no tattoos" thing before, especially for those following Judaism, but I'd never read the relevant text before, so it definitely surprised me. I may have to ask my sister about it, since that's definitely her area of study.
Reading through various translations, the first part seems to say "don't cut/gash your body in honor/memory/mourning of the dead, but most of the translations leave it somewhat ambiguous (at least to me) as to whether it means "don't tattoo yourself in honor/memory/mourning of the dead" or just, "don't tattoo yourself at all". Also, it sounds as though cutting/gashing yourself for other reasons is isn't breaking any rules.
Figured out how to DM you.
Edit: figured out how to DM OP
its why you want a headboard behind your bed.
I don't understand... possibly because I've skipped the headboard for many, many years of my life. Could you please explain?
- I do often wear them with nothing playing, but even that impacts my situational awareness, which is even more impacted if I put music on.
- I don't want to be listening to music, a podcast, etc., right now, I just want to hear the low, white noise of the environment. This is especially applicable when out in nature.
I'm pretty sure we have blackberry jam, but I'm not much of a jam person, so I can't say so from personal experience. Although if we have the berries, I can't see why we wouldn't also have the jam. Looks like blackcurrants is probably what you were thinking of, although they're technically available in the US now.

That sounds quite terrifying! I'm in a pretty urban environment, so I don't think there's any bears hanging out on my usual routes, only coyotes, but I will keep that in mind whenever I venture out of the city.
We absolutely have blackberries. In my neck of the woods, there's apparently 2 species of blackberries, one of which is highly invasive. I was going for walks about a month ago, specifically routed to pass by as many wild blackberries as possible, and they were very delicious!
Whoa! Checking out street view, I'm so impressed by the bike/scooter shares all being parked relatively neatly in designated areas at either end of the block where they aren't blocking the pedestrian paths!
