How many "subscriptions" do you have these days? (retired, best)

They were some really odd magazines like Guns and Gardens, and specialty car magazines of cars we didn't own. WTH????

I subscribe to Supernatural!!!! Bestest, funnest, most effective way I've found to get cardio.

I pay for:

Amazon
Apple Music
HBO
NY Times
The New Yorker magazine
Apple cloud data storage

VPN service (allows me to access the BBC networks/iPlayer)

(Ancestry genealogy subscription just expired)
(I don't have cable tv)

None. I could say one, but that is only because
they won’t let us go. Even though we canceled

[tasmtairy]

Netflix
Prime
Paramont

I'll subscribe off and on to Showtime or HBO to see a particular show, then cancel.

Is that a library in the US, or down in South America?

Thanks for the review. I don't own any VR headset - but it sounds like I might want to give it a try.

I can answer this one.

We still use the library from our last home address in USA, which is a pretty big system (Phoenix AZ) with tons of digital books for Kindle download. We spent a couple years worrying they would ask for a reverification of physical local address but it has been over seven years since and no problems. Maybe we're lucky in the people who bought our house in AZ never registered for a library card, I don't know.

My conscience is clean in that we are Arizona residents and do pay state income taxes, which are in fact higher than our federal since state doesn't have the generous 0% dividends and capital gains tier.

I get YouTube, Netflix and Amazon Prime. I also "subscribe" (they call it "becoming a member") to PBS. I also pay for subscriptions to the Washington Post and my local paper. Back in the day, I subscribed to EVERYTHING: The New Yorker, Atlantic Monthly, High Country News, Harpers (no longer published, I think), two local papers, etc., etc. One thing about living in the Age of Internet is that so much information and content are available online that you don't need to subscribe to a bunch of papers and magazines to keep up with what's going on. Still, there's something about having actual magazines and having them laying on my coffee table so that I could pick them up and just start reading. Staring at a computer screen gets old sometimes.

If you like music, it's the way to go. I have another exercise app on oculus, and it's fine, but it doesn't have the music, and without it I don't push myself as hard. They added boxing which I like.

I don't play any games on VR, but what's nice is if you try out a game and don't like it, you can return it (less than X hours of use).

Dallas, where my U.S. address is. Never seen a library here, lol. And it'd be in Spanish, if it existed.
