YouTube red is way worse, but by then I started getting into watching adfree YouTube on TV.
I now have a separate like creator profile on my YouTube for music, so all the recommendations are for music I like. I also have another for cocomelon that I can change to when I'm in the car and the kids stuff will not pollute my main feed.

If you save 15 minutes and hour of ad watching divided by how often you watch per month you get to a reasonable calculation. Unless you can easily implement a system that can block out the ads on the devices you and your family consume the content through, the monthly price may be reasonable.

I'm in my 40s and watch a decent chunk of YouTube on the Google TV, my wife likes to cast her shows from her country that are uploaded to YouTube, my toddler watches cocomelon on the TV. Trying to set up a pi hole was too much of a hastle for me. I don't like seeing ads and all I did was invited her to the family link and she does not see ads. I should probably ask chatgpt for a better step by step solution though

There is no juicer where you stuff veggies or fruit and out comes juice, it's slurry that you have to wait to cool down and squish. They automate the cooking and blending.

We have a Gaggia anima deluxe, I would not recommend it though as it can't use french roast beans without wasting half of them.

I also pre warm it when I pull it out by pressure cooking some water so the whole inside is hot and primed before I put the food in. This way the cooking time is lower. I don't simmer in it or anything. My wife uses it to create bone broths for our toddler.
One useless thing we got was a soymilk maker. We used that thing maybe 5 times, pain in the ass to strain the milk and clean the thing.

That makes sense. Actually, getting drunk and driving around in golf carts doing anything would be fun. But WATCHING golf, sober people golfing just makes no sense to me.

I never see anyone walking around with a naked phone. 90% of the internal battery issue relates to people being more likely to just buy a new phone than paying $175 to replace the battery.
