Not all home internet is unlimited. In many US rural areas, home internet connections have a monthly cap just like mobile networks do. A higher cap costs more, if it's available at all.

This hits like a cyberpunk dystopia
Any kind of surge pricing ~~by for profit companies providing basic needs~~ should be illegal full stop
Fixed that for you
Mobile players do it on the go. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The key to understanding is finishing the sentence.
"I hate small talk... with people I have no reason to talk to and don't care about."
I love my partner, and even when it's small talk I can listen all day, just to hear their voice and learn a little more about them, to feel closer to the person I married in many small ways.
But I don't care about what Jim at the laundry mat did last weekend, or which machine he thinks makes socks dry faster.
Read Era is technically free, but I paid for premium years ago and have never regretted it. I can open any kind of uncorrupted book file, from the Amazon reader format to PDF to epub, and everything else I've ever come across. It has a great search function, and the ability to file a book into a custom 'Collection'. You can edit the details of a book, like adding Author or pusblisher info, add your own personal notes to a page or highlighted quote, see an aggregate of all your highlights in a particular file, and adjust the font, background color, and contrast to your hearts content.
I make my whole family use it now, cause I love it so much and Premium works on Family share.
Also expect some stringing, a little bit during printing is ok. Use a heat gun if you have one, or a blow dryer can work well as a replacement. The heat causes the thin strings to contact and they practically disappear as you watch. It's pretty fun to do, and satisfying.
I always head-canon that the transporter pad auto adds .02mm to the Z-Axis of anything that beams in. Just far enough enough that a person won't really feel it, and objects don't rattle or tip from the tiny drop, but not too far so it's not as jarring. Of course a good transport operator can override this, to make an even "smoother" landing. If the tech can reassemble molecules, then why not have an accuracy of microns rather then millimeters? No chance of interphasing matter, if it never overlaps.
You know I still don't understand the issue people have with this. Every bathroom I've been in either has stalls to use with urinals on the side and dividers between those for some privacy, or is only designed for one person at a time anyway. I can't imagine having any issue with anyone of any gender in those types of bathroom, unless they where being clear creeps and trying to press an eye to a gap in a divide or something. Which isn't solved by limiting the genders who can enter, it's solved by building better dividers and not leaving gaps.
This isn't Rome my dude, we're not all sitting in one room and having a face to face while we clart.
Watching me while I'm browsing the net?
Sounds like that pedo got what they deserved. 20+ with a 15?
