---------------------------------------------
The Starlink monthly service for residential customers is changing as
follows:

$10 increase in areas with limited capacity. New price will be
$120/month.
$20 decrease in areas with excess capacity. New price will be
$90/month.

As a current customer in an area with limited capacity, your monthly
service price will increase to $120/month beginning April 24, 2023.
For new customers in your area, the price increase is effective
immediately.
-----------------------------------------------

First, eggs, and now this..............wait.......all I have to do is
cancel Netflix, and at the end of the day going forward I'll even be
ahead. Might even be able to save up enough for a space balloon ride.

Anybody know how hard it might be to cancel Netflix? I hope it's
easier than canceling DirecTV was.

That from a guy who says, "I just saved a bunch of money on my
insurance by switching to reverse and leaving the scene." If did
that, I'd front end somebody who magically appeared behind me. Murphy
literally follows me wherever I am.

For example, I went to the dentist yesterday to get a hole drilled for
an implant. She broke her drill twice, and blamed me. I allege that it
was Murphy. Then she had trouble screwing in the implant post because
the hole was too small and she had to drill some more. Luckily, the
damdrill didn't break again. Murphy must've been taking a coffee break.

I allege you should quit worrying about Murphy and get a new dentist who's better at screwing.

Enjoy the day!

I have to keep worrying about Murphy. If I didn't keep all the tools
in my toolbox on the table and maintain my situational awareness at a
high and efficacious state, Murphy would do me wrong more often than
just frequently transitorily. You have to live it and experience it in
a significant passage of time to understand it.

It is! I canceled Netflix about 4 days ago. Go to account in Netflix app
and "cancel service" is right there.

Thanks. I thought that would be too easy, so I didn't even look for it

They were supposed to group up and help with the drilling. It remains
to be seen if they have enough science to bond bone to the titanium screw.

Well, I decided to try to find out how things were coming along.
First, I went to their web site and found this:
-----------------------------------------------------
Welcome back, William!
Registration ID: 0336a5f2-0619
Be sure to save this for future reference!
You signed up on 8/11/2022. Your requested service location appears
to be off-system. If you are eligible for service, one of our customer
service representatives will be in touch.
---------------------------------------------------

Then I emailed them:
---------------------------------------------------
What does "appears to be off-system" mean?
--------------------------------------------------

They answered:
--------------------------------------------------
Hello William, That address shows as over 5000 ft from the closest
feeder which means it is off system and not servicable.

Thank you,
Jason
--------------------------------------------------

Then I asked:
------------------------------------------------
Does that mean that I'll never get Fiber To The Home?
-------------------------------------------------

They answered:
------------------------------------------------
Hello William,
Thank you again at this point yes , but if that was to change you will
be contacted.
Thank you,
Jason
------------------------------------------------

sigh. The whole point of this FTTH was to work with my EMC to get fast
broadband to underserved rural areas. I guess I'm a little too rural
to be served.

So hey Elon - forget my little dig, keep sticking those sats up there,
and I'm literally looking forward enthusiastically to the next price
rise if it'll help you to, like, efficaciously straighten up Twattle
in the passage of time.

Long live mission creep. Maybe as a certified and qualified
underserved affordable fastbroadbandless person, the government will
send me a monthly check to keep me off the street? And it doesn't have
to $1K/mo - just $50 will be enough..........as long as it's indexed
to inflation and mission creep as we go forward at the end of the day.

Jesus Jumpin' Christ! You already got a $20 a month break from Elon.
