The pricing increases listed pertain to the United States, but prices will be going up in most countries.

You know what sounds more and more affordable with each passing day?

CDs and DVDs.

You can thank me because I subscribed to Apple One a month ago. But, we're sharing it with 4 people so it's still a pretty good deal.

The wife and I like to go to garage sales to buy DVDs. I won’t pay more than $1/movie or $0.50 per CD. Sometimes I get a good deal, like $15 for over 50 movies in really nice sealed containers. Sure, I already had some of the movies, but I’ll just sell them when we have a garage sale.

So, we have Apple One, which is going up. We mostly need it for iCloud storage, Apple Music, and AppleTV+. We can get AppleTV+ through T-mobile, so I may unbundle it and just subscribe to the other two. It will only save me $6/month, but that still counts for something.

I scored a two month trial of Apple TV+. I was pretty psyched, but after watching a few shows I was excited to try and a couple that have been getting great buzz, I haven’t been back to it after that. I’ve watched three days tops.

I’ve been shocked how unengaging everything has been. See, Ted Lasso, Severance, Foundation, nothing has grabbed me in the least.

I’m not calling it a failure or disappointment. It’s just crazily clear I’m just on a different page in what I’m looking for than they are conceptually. A complete disconnect. It’s kind of fascinating actually.

National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
As of July 16, 2022, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is now available by simply dialing 988. The previous number, 1-800-273-8255, will remain active.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
