And then you have Terry Pratchett who gave us Mister Teatime.

Look into Sawyer water filters. Much easier to use than lifestraws, last longer. Pressure instead of suction.

So mad at them for cancelling that. It was a bright spot in a bleak landscape at the time.

Sure, but that's a backhoe used on a shovel problem.

Paper tubes like Pringles, maybe.

I'm hoping that Nebula, being run as a coop, will avoid much of that 'growth at any cost' mindset.

I didn't say it was. I watch Youtube as well. Do not put words in my mouth.

This is a perfect example of someone saying "I like beans" and someone responding "WELL YOU MUST HATE TOMATOES THEN YOU NAZI LOVER" or something. :P

It can work out financially - I don't know how they do it specifically, but suppose they put all the lifetime subs into one investment pool and used the interest on that to fund operations.

$300 can generate $20 per year for them. So I benefit by only having to pay once, and they benefit by getting a chunk up front instead of having it drip out over time.

Up front cash can also mean the ability to invest in larger things. They can put it into infra budget instead of ops budget.

Nebula is really good. I just bought a lifetime sub. Expensive but pays itself back in only a few years. Plus the creators there run it as a coop that has a takeover poison pill of some kind.
