3 years ago I paid $6.99/month for Disney+, tax included. They offered an annual subscription for $69.99, so I switched to that.
2 years ago it increased to $79.99 plus tax, or $86.39.
Last year it increased to $109.99 plus tax, or $119.34.
This year it increased to $139.99 plus tax, or $151.89.
In the span of 3 years the cost has MORE THAN DOUBLED. Conveniently, they now offer an $7.99/mo plan—with ads. Disney knows they can make more off of you by selling ads.

"The 'ladies-only' lounge in Hobart's Museum of Old and New Art (Mona) is a place of quiet contemplation for people who identify as women, set among fine art and velvet furniture. But it's become the subject of an anti-discrimination case, brought by a male visitor – resulting in a tribunal hearing that became a scene of performance art."

First scans of Silbersalz arrived. It's motion picture film (really, it's Kodak Vision3 in different packaging) developed in ECN-2. It is impressive how fine the grain is. But their lab processing time is much slower than I expected.
