Only ships to United States. So disappointing steroids :)

Ok, full disclosure. I'm such a whimp.

40 years old and still buckle under the slightest peer pressure.

Showed it to a friend of mine and he was instantly enthousiastic and said "let's both do it and have a monthly nerd session!"

So you go two subscriptions from Amsterdam the Netherlands half an hour ago :)

Noticed that. Very interested. Just need a bit more convincing as I commented elsewhere.

At the moment I'm in the "bookmarked will be a late adopter if it takes of" camp.

So good luck, hope that I'll be able to throw money at you at a later point! :)
