That's amazing! I remember being broke and being hit by NSF. It was downright devastating. $40 or $50 is a lot when you have no money.

"This is not the first time Musk has gone after the site. In December, he posted on X, “Stop donating to Wokepedia.” And that wasn’t even his first bad Wikipedia pun. “I will give them a billion dollars if they change their name to Dickipedia,” he wrote, in an October, 2023, post. It seemed to be an ego thing at first. Musk objected to being described on his page as an “early investor” in Tesla, rather than as a founder, which is how he prefers to be identified, and seemed frustrated that he couldn’t just buy the site. But lately Musk’s beef has merged with a general conviction on the right that Wikipedia—which, like all encyclopedias, is a tertiary source that relies on original reporting and research done by other media and scholars—is biased against conservatives."

At least 274 Kenyan workers, mostly women, have died in Saudi Arabia in the past five years — an extraordinary figure for a young work force doing jobs that, in most countries, are considered extremely safe. At least 55 Kenyan workers died last year, twice as many as the previous year.

Absolutely heartbreaking article.

Ford said the meeting was productive. What was the product of that meeting exactly? They said: "Fuck you, you owe us! And we said: "..." What happened to your backbone, Dougie?

Does VPN help, in this case, to avoid geo-fencing?

That would explain her wishy-washy stance on who is culpable for this mistreatment. Idiot.

"Canadians may have gone in for wokeness in recent years, it is true, but there is the matter of their bloody-minded DNA. It was not that long ago that they harvested baby seals—the ones with the big, sad, adorable brown eyes—with short iron clubs. They love hockey, a sport that would have pleased the emperors and blood-crazed plebeians and patricians of ancient Rome if they could only have figured out how to build an ice rink in the Colosseum." 😅

"There are three ways the U.S. government is working to cut down that deficit, Paterson added. The first is a major budget resolution that calls for billions of dollars in tax cuts"

...ah, yes, nothing balanced the budget like siphoning the federal coffers into the 1%ers' pockets.

Fruit bears? Is this company's name Haribo by chance?

So this is what bugs me: how can Netflix claim to have 4k stream when its average video bitrate is 18mbps, compared to 128mbps on a 4k disc?

Same as EMPEROR, I purchased my Sony UBP-x800m2 from them and, even though it was not cheap, I use it nearly every day (including Region B discs). So, I would say that it was worth it.

That sounds like great news! Unless of course if you're the owner of a crypto farm sucking up a limited resource. Sure glad to live in a province governed by sane people.
