I mean that's pretty excessive. I'm in the US and I get 5GB of high speed data in Morocco and unlimited throttled, and it's only $25 for another 5GB. 11k for 3.8GB is ridiculous.

Because it's an excuse.

I think everyone has it.

There was a series of three tweets and no follow-up. I wouldn't necessarily assert it so strongly.

The main issue with Usenet is retention. I don't mean that you should worry too much about retention on your particular providers, but just as a general concept the idea that after 10-15 years files go away means that it can be tough to find older media, especially media that is not popular enough for people to reupload.

People always talk about needing multiple servers but I just use Astraweb and I have been fine. I have a block plan on another server somewhere but I honestly didn't even set it up when I reconfigured nzbget.

Movies and TV shows have been super easy to find on Usenet, but even with a couple private indexers I have found music and books to be hit or miss. I use Tidal with Plex and the $10 per month has been worth it to me simply because I listen to a ton of different music. That said, probably 80% of what I listen to has been available on Usenet.

I read a lot of nerdy books (fantasy and sci-fi) and that's been easy enough to find, but my wife's more mainstream tastes have actually been trickier.

Wait a second, what does a front loader have to do with it?

Breaking news: some metals conduct electricity

Okay.

Jewish communties have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.

I'm deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest shit now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don't exactly like them too much.

You want truth said to your face, there it is.

Yeah I was still on the plane and it was in airplane mode.

For me it's basically the same reason I don't drink soda. And yet no one questions me when I have an iced tea instead of a soda, but not drinking alcohol requires an explanation.

I recently stopped drinking, just kind of organically. I cut down to help cut some calories and ended up stopping altogether.

The pressure is weird at any sort of event. I declined some champagne that was being passed around and the response was "why not? It's free!"

For-profit health insurance just makes no sense. This is the expected behavior of a for-profit insurance system.

You don't even need to go the screen share route, Plex has Watch Together built in.

I downloaded this stuff hours before I went to the airport.

I mean not streaming at all back with the DRM issues but I guess that's fair.

Their support site literally says "when you don't have an internet connection" so if it's working the way you describe then it's not working as designed.

I'm glad it worked for you. My problem is that if I can't trust it to work reliably I'm just going to use something else.

I was on airplane mode on my tablet.

Dude no. Don't be ridiculous.

Well yeah I use VLC for the stuff I've downloaded.
