Glad to read that someone else had another great experience with the animal shelter.

I deleted my Reddit account as well. People deleting 10-year-plus accounts will make a larger statement than a couple of days of silent subs.

Reddit has control over granting mod access to new people for rebellious subs. It doesn't have control over my use or non-use of the platform.

Can you make keto-friendly bread at a price per loaf that's lower than the $4-$8 that grocery stores charge for it?

I actually don't mind the Pluto ads. If you put Trek on in the background while working, I think you'll find that they're so repetitive yet non-annoying that you just mentally block them out.

I find the PlutoTV app to also be much more user-friendly and reliable than Paramount Plus. I would rather be able to have everything on demand and pay Paramount, but the Paramount Plus app is so buggy on my Smart TV and on Kodi that I've given up.

The last straw was when I was actually contemplating writing a script to automatically restart Kodi because of how often Paramount Plus dies on Kodi.

I agree with you that it's nice in a way not even having to think about what to watch next. If something really bad comes on, like that pretty racist TNG episode from season 1 or the Voyage lizard episode, it's a lot easier to just switch from the Star Trek to the More Trek channel, or vice versa, and be done with it.

Back pre-covid, I found the convenience of next-day and same-day shipping to be worth it. During and since Covid, though, it seems like actual delivery dates are a real crapshoot. You shop as a Prime Member, see next-day shipping, order, and the next-day shipping magically changes to 2 days from now. You then get the package 3-4 days later.

When you order the same product as non-Prime, the shipping date shows a week out but you end up actually receiving it a couple days early. So in many if not most cases the "faster" shipping is non-existent, so why bother being a prime member?

Not being a Prime member now, I find myself price-shopping more now, instead of just blindly ordering on Amazon to justify my Prime membership.
