Shopping for home internet can be expensive. Keep in mind the average monthly internet bill in the US is $78. However, there's nothing worse than discovering that your internet bill is increasing year over year. In some cases, your internet bill could even double or triple after a year. You might see an uptick in promotional offers from your internet provider, making it easy to fall into a web of broadband booby traps or, as I like to call them, internet pricing traps.

Last year when I first reviewed ChatGPT, the most well-known AI chatbot in the world, I felt that most people shouldn't pay for it. A year later, I still believe that casual users are fine using the free version. However, OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, has rolled out a slew of updates and improvements making it the $20 per month. That's especially true if you're increasingly using it for research or for parsing through large amounts of data. OpenAI now gives paid ChatGPT users access to the o1

Hot Octopuss Pulse Duo Review: Not for Penetration

I've heard a decent amount about sex toy brand Hot Octopuss from my male friends, but it wasn’t until the Pulse Duo arrived on my doorstep that I had my first experience with its products. I was excited to give it a try because I love penis toys that both partners can enjoy. The Pulse Duo isn’t a cock ring—at least not in the traditional sense—it does help produce longer and stronger erections.
