    Another budgeting app you might be interested in is called actual budget, https://github.com/actualbudget/actual. It used to be closed source and paid but now it's fully open source and maintained by the community. I've been using it the last couple years and it has surpassed ynab and many other budgeting tools.

    My initial impression of the routine (I'm far from an expert, just a fellow nerd) is that it looks like most other hypertrophy focused routines. Depending on how far you want to go you'll be very limited with dumbbells as you'll be limited greatly on progressive overload on lower body exercises. I've been in the rabbit role for years reading/watching similar folks, but my favorite of any is Dr. Erik Helms (of 3DMJ) due to his book The Muscle and Strength Pyramids. That is the most advanced beginner friendly exercise content I continue to refer too, and I always find it funny that even cutting edge research reinforces the basic information in that book.

    I'd say the most important part of any exercise routine is that you enjoy it. Sticking with any routine is generally the most difficult part of any program, and keeping it fun is all that matters. Depending on your experience level, and goals that is likely a great routine. Doing any kind of strength training will help your longevity and quality of life, so the only real criticism I can offer is don't get too into the weeds as a beginner, nearly any lifting will get you really good results, so enjoy yourself and new gains!

    Definitely an alternative as I used to pay for chatgpt. I just enjoy putting prompts into different models without messing with any extra stuff. I generally stick with opus or 4o but used r1 a bit since it was added last week.

    I'm a longtime user and pay for the ultimate plan to get access to all the major LLMs. As others have noted, no ads has been awesome, but I also use the site down ranking/hiding feature e.g. hiding all quora.com results. It seems to do a pretty good job not return SEO/spam based sites. O occasionally use the custom lens for specific results like all Terraform registry, I use the !bangs option often to filter all !r for reddit or!w for Wikipedia. I often use the browser add-on for universal summarizer for YouTube or articles. Overall I get the value out of it and would recommend it over google or ddg.
