Yesterday, I've cancelled the Amazon Prime subscription, and I feel really good about it (even though the subscription is really low in Poland, I just didn't want to have it).

I've replaced it with few other things:

  • allegro smart subscription (to save on deliveries from Polish local online marketplace allegro.pl)
  • an occasional subscription just for one month when I want to watch some specific show (or even find and purchase DVDs for things I like to rewatch often)
  • smaller online/offline relatil shops whenever applicable

For anything else I've never been using Amazon services, so it is kind of no-brainer for me ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

Why would a fridge even require filters?

If you can drink the tap water and it's for the ice then you probably don't need the filters.

It's an activated carbon fresh air filter. Fuck if I know why it NEEDS it. It does help keep the fridge smelling clean though. The fridge does not have any special features.
