i always look for the ‘guest’ checkout option. some merchants have it, and i’ll choose them over somewhere like azn if the price is reasonably close.

sub for a month with a prepaid gift card (so no potential issues cancelling). binge for a week, run out of stuff to watch, the rest of the sub goes unused and wasted. been down that road once every year or two here.

four-day work weeks are great. guaranteed one day off M-F to get to appointments and other stuff that has to be done ‘during the day, during the week’… but the biggest bonus, perhaps, is one less day commuting each week; that’s 20% less time and expense traveling to-and-from work.
