[_delirium]

This was actually one of the biggest reasons I cancelled my paper subscription too: far too much paper was piling up in my apartment relative to how much reading it provided me. It didn't help that my apartment complex's recycling area was somewhat awkward to get to, and I felt bad throwing the paper in the trash, so it became this perennial TODO item of "clear out huge piles of newspaper clogging the entryway".

Now I subscribe to The Economist, which delivers one, ~100-page magazine a week, which is closer to the amount of in-depth, on-paper news analysis I'll actually read in a given week. It also has a lot less filler that I'd never read, like the pages of sports scores or stock quotes that the local paper liked to include. Somehow in 2010, the idea of printing out thousands of stock prices on a piece of paper every 24 hours seems absurd, like some kind of syslog that logs to a line printer.
