Upside: Won't have problem of too much newsprint around the house.
Downside: I'm Jonesing!
Glancing at topics on these forums I am having regrets.
I was getting the SF Chronicle Wednesday through Sunday, but they jacked up the rate (triple! Was paying $15/6 months, they want ~$48 now) so I said "cancel."
Is it possible to be "informed" without subscribing to a newspaper? What do you do? Where do you get your information? I tend to watch an hour or so of TV news, but they bug me a lot of the time, I get the feeling I'm wasting my time watching that a lot of the time, am tempted to fast forward through a lot of it (I timeshift), am appalled that most of the commercials are for medications (almost all!), and TV news very often only serves to make me sleepy! I'm in Berkeley, CA.
I know that the Chronicle sucks except for a few articles and a lot of the syndicated articles, but it seems like the best local paper. I do live ~2 minutes from the library, so I could scoot over there on my bike and read their papers.
