How should a news article website financially sustain itself?
So I get ads are terrible, obviously. I run ad-blockers all the time. But people also get angry at paywalls. So that leaves me wondering, if not through ads or subscriptions, how is a news publisher supposed to sustain itself?

From what I can tell Apple's otherwise awful mouse is the only one that allows for 360° scrolling with two finger swipe motion. (Their previous gen mouse had 360° scrolling with a small trackball on top but it constantly clogged up with dirt.) It's really nice for scrolling over wide spreadsheets and other sorts of documents that take up a lot of horizontal space. (You can do two finger pinch to zoom also but it's not as easy as it is on a trackpad where you have more surface area.)
I currently use a Logitech MS Master 3S which has a separate horizontal scroll. I don't like x and y scrolling mapped to separate controls (it makes diagonal scrolling tedious) so I mapped that scroll wheel to zoom, and instead do 360° scrolling by pressing down the vertical scroll wheel and moving the mouse around; it works but it's a bit clunky.
How do you communicate "sorry, my bad" when you make a mistake while driving?
Like, if you accidentally cut someone off, and they get mad and honk, how do you apologize?
