Amazon and Audible are horrible for a number of reasons. Not only are they’re anti-competitive practices shady, they wrap all the audiobooks you buy from them in DRM so you can only use them on their app. You bought the book, you should own the book. They’re also notoriously terrible to their authors and they’re going out of their way to destroy small businesses. Get the same great books at the same prices at libro.fm without supporting terrible companies.

Click here to sign up for nordVPN. I get a little kickback if you sign up.
Hypothetically, if you wanted to safely sail the seas and grab some loot without leaking your ip address, then you could sign up for this service, turn it on, go to ipleak[dot]net to confirm you’re not exposed and then raise your black flag.
Paying artists and writers directly is awesome and you should do it.

I drink one of these a day. A nutrient dense (yes it also has protein) smoothie made from “super foods” and whatnot. I’m not sure how much the term super food is marketing or not, but this is a low calorie meal replacement that tastes like chocolate not chalk and I’m not hungry for a few hours after. I’ve lost some weight and have kept it off for quite a while.
My go to is whole milk with a bit of Adams peanut butter and a handful of spinach.
I get a kickback if you sign up, but it’s also a fantastic company that is trying to stick it to the monopolists.
