  A couple of notes on COBRA, the cost is because you’re (usually) losing the amount your employer pays toward health insurance, plus the administrator charges a percent on top to administer the program. So the cost will definitely depend on which plan you already have and how much the employer pays.

  With COBRA you’ll be locked into your current plan, but should have the opportunity to change plans when the employer goes through annual/open enrollment.

  Another thing to note is that you’ll keep access to any HSA accounts you have (this is money you and/or your employer has put in an account.). You will lose access to any FSA balance you have, unless you elect it while electing COBRA.

  I do this with my domain and it works great.
  Only negative I’ve had is that people with a similar name have ended up signing up for things and misspelling theirs with it ending up on mine.

  Not the movie that caused it, but during either the first or second Tobey McGuire Spider Man movie there is a scene where Peter tells Aunt May he is responsible for Uncle Ben’s death. Right during this dramatic scene in the theater a kid said pretty loudly (but not quite yelling) “I have to go poop!” Quite of a few of us burst out laughing during this heavy scene.

  Since this is in nostupidquesrions and a piracy community I’ll offer a different take:

  Try your local library for physical copies. Depending on your library system, it may be free (or low cost) to have copies sent from other branches. Again depending on your system it may be possible to get copies from libraries outside of the system through Inter Library Loans (ILL) if your library participates.

  Also library systems may have access to some streaming content, depends on your system. Some large cities, like NYC, offer library cards to everyone in t the state.

  Tangentially related, the Internet Archive also hosts tons of material you might not find anywhere else. Probably not what you’re looking for, but I’ve found things like Mister Rogers episodes there that aren’t available on Amazon or DVDs. Quality of content may vary and you’re more likely to find older content there.
