Hadn't thought of masking tape. A squirt of compressed air also works to get them to vacate the area temporarily.

Mo thinks he's a mechanic

Edit: In case it's not obvious, DO NOT shoot compressed air directly at your cat! Just let it make the PSHHHHH noise.

My cat cares not for PSPSPS, but if you yell "what the fuck are you doing?" he'll run over like you were waving a fresh salmon at him.

Lemmy is new. I don't inherently know what communities I want to subscribe to. How do I stumble across them without using all?

Would be nice if regional communities could be tagged by language

That option is there. It's just half-ass implemented and not enforced.

Same. I've basically turned All into my subscribed list.

If only there were tools that one could use to curate their feed.

Offhand, I know ARK released paid DLC while still in early access.

Wouldn't/shouldn't that give the US government a vector to tap in and intercept said communications?

No, it isn't about bad aim. And regardless how or why it happens, it's about not being a disgusting person and cleaning up your own mess.

All these sweet looking Skyrim mods that might get released someday. Possibly. Maybe.

Usenet is a decentralized network that works very much like the fediverse here. Anything uploaded to one server gets sent out to all the servers; that's why you can log onto lemmy.world and see posts made on say lemm.ee. Likewise something posted to one usenet server gets sent out to all the others. And these servers are being operated by individual entities (again, much like lemmy). Whoever owns the server you're downloading from is having to pay for everything it sends out. Which is why most of the free ones will let you access the text portions but not the file downloads.

A VPN isn't necessary. But you do need a special program to connect to usenet. It's built into a lot of older email clients (thunderbird is a good option).

There's no one single usenet company for the same reason there's no one single lemmy instance. (I'm sure someone has explained it better somewhere else in this post).

in the era of free services, why do you still have to pay for Usenet access?

Bandwidth costs money. And usenet isn't collecting and selling your info to recoup those costs like most "free" services. A lot of ISPs do offer free usenet access to customers, albeit somewhat neutered. You can browse the bulletin boards but most of the file downloads are going to be filtered out. That's the part you have to pay for.

Is it actually illegal? Has anyone in the US ever been charged for selling digital software they had legally acquired?

US President Joe Biden's son Hunter supposedly filmed himself smoking crack while driving a car at a speed of 172 miles per hour (around 276 kmph) as he was on his way to Las Vegas,

In the leaked photo from 2018, Hunter, now aged 53, could be seen holding a crack pipe, then lighting and smoking it as he drove through a road full of houses, which was later recognised as Arlington, Virginia.

That's a 35 hour road trip. We're going to need a LOT of crack.

But for real, we really dodged a bullet by not electing Hunter as president.

Is this how Don Jr finds out who his real dad is?

Authorities used a technique known as encapsulation to destroy the drug, pulverizing the seized blocks with waste before mixing the resulting fine powder with cement, sand and glass.

Someone totally took that home. "We turned that 20 tons of coke into 20 tons of concrete. Job well done pack it up."

Once they get so crusty they can stand on their own. That's about 8 hours in shoes, or a week next to the bed.

3rding possible botfly. The wound looks a lot like the one my cat had.

Warning: gross botfly wound

what are the Democrat voters going to do, vote 3rd party?

Sit on their hands like they did in 2016.
