Yeah, the idea is that 5$ a month isn't much (~ one coffee in

you get the entire coffee machine with a warp engine :)
Sorry to derail, but I had to ask: where does 1 coffee (even
extra large) cost $5 USD? Let me know so I know to never move
there.
Have you ever been to Starbucks (or similar companies)?
Even in Germany which is among the cheapest Western European
countries they charge 5$ (~4€) for a cup of coffee:

For example, in Sweden it's even more expensive:

Anyhow, it was just an analogy. Maybe you prefer one beer as a
better analogy? (though in Germany that's often cheaper than one
cup of coffee)
