Thing is, I make more than ever, but yet due to increased (mostly) energy costs, I can afford nothing.

Few years ago I was able to eat a few times a week out, but nowadays I eat at most a few times a month. Base price for döner was 6-7 euros, now they are starting off 12 euros. However my salary has not doubled. Lately, I usually just pick up take away food for the kids, not for us parents.

I was able to upgrade my phone once a year or two, now I've been using the same phone (even with screen cracked) for 3,5 years.

Best thing last, I'm a co-founder for a fabrication company. We aren't turning profit because everything is expensive. Our costs have doubled, and salary costs gone up 75%. It would be easier to just run the business down nowadays than struggle.

Wait, what.

I have to buy company merch, if I want it. Well, I did get a tote shopping bag one day..

Yeah, this happens a lot in the US. Like "it's only a few km's walk to the store, so I'll walk there" and the sidewalks are unmainted and full of thrash, there are no crosswalks, and you cant enter any malls via sidewalks. It's an absolute contrast to anywhere else in the world.

No one walks anywhere in the US apart from city centers.

This and I already missed the old reddit when they banned porn from /all. API debacle was the last straw when I called quits.

Doesn't work, I feel. I've been looking at alternatives, gonna take a look at this audiobookshelf now.

Nice.

I was paying for a family subscription for a major audiobook provider for a while. That changed after I used a 3rd party app to listen to their audiobooks and apparently broke their eula, and they were threatening to sue me and my 7 year old kid for it. Kinda killed the spirit to pay for their service.

Literally what's wrong with you? How dense can one carrot be?

I've had my fold3 over three years now. Once a year the inner screen protector has to replaced, that costs something like 25 euros. Apart that, the concept is great and I've had zero probs. As my phone is already like 4 years old overall, the camera on it not that great nowadays, especially in low light.

If this is the reason why their products are similarly priced internationally?

I really like JF.

My biggest issue with it is that subtitles appear to be messed up timing wise upon continuing playback and its impossible to reset.

But other than that, I like it a lot. Thanks JF team!
