Costs to continue to operate satellites and keep a network running smoothly are pretty expensive. I however do not believe theyre $300 a person expensive for just radio communications.

Id pay the same I pay for xbox. Ill give them $60 a year. But I know thats below their minimum threshold. Until then ill just keep my spotify premium.

But at $60 a year they’d likely sell more memberships which would lower that threshold. Doesn’t cost them more to have more people streaming from their satellites.

Yea, I don't understand why they don't lower the price to get more people subscribing. Is there a point of critical mass where the satellites can't stream to everyone?

$120 for two cars and streaming services and I'd probably be in.

I have an 11 year old dog that has been with me through some shit and never leaves my side. She's recently started falling down a lot. Sent her with my wife who didn't find anything about the falling but found a spot on the dogs spleen.

I told my wife to let nature run its course. We'll see how that plan goes as this progresses.

Good to hear!
Got another call this morning that he’ll be ready to pick up at 11. Implant didn’t move at all overnight, so he should be okay. Heart is enlarged so we have some questions about that, but hopefully he’ll be good to go after this and live out the rest of his life relatively normally.
:nice: to hear!

Going with Calvinballs and three of our oldest friends up to a cabin in the far upper reaches for fly fishing and whiskey drinking for a few days in September. Very excited.
That's awesome. Got a friend who is a doctor in Bath, just bought a house with private beachfront. Strongly considering a visit.
I bin to Maine b4. Go before mid August or it starts to get chilly on the coast. Excuse the over saturated HDR ness. Was all the rage 5 years ago

But you can live without a spleen, no?
Still have to open her up though to remove it or it will bleed after it gets so big.

True, just pointing out that a diseased spleen isn't necessarily a death sentence.
