I did this with a japanese punk band and when I finally got on a private tracker, I redownloaded them and the quality difference was night and day. I have a huge backlog of mid-grade MP3s from TPB back in the day and I'll occasionally

They didn't have to include women in drug trials until 1993. I'm not going "science isn't always right!" but it can absolutely be a racket with major blindspots and regulatory capture that ensures cures and treatmen

Kratom is such an interesting drug. About 10 years ago, when it was less well-known, you could find better raw leaf powder and it was helping people get off actual opiates. IIRC there's an effect where the actual chemicals get stronger

I knew someone who destroyed three surface pro keyboards with chemical etcher. I've got a cat and live in a carpeted apartment. I prefer to keep most projects "dry" for that reason.

Osh makes pretty good boards but the customer service for the Chinese fabs are on another level. I got a few small simple boards made through OSH to test their services and their user portal basically left me in the dark for 1-2 weeks. I&#x

There's a lot of stuff at play here. First, despite the Millennium challenge being "debunked", it still played out in the same direction. Second, and this is a big one, after the Church committee when the CIA was put under co

Yeah lets just take the human out of the loop in regards to the DIY missile. Sure.

Sure the crank on the ratchet of fascism is bad, but have you thought about the pawl? Yes the previous admins were also bad. Obama drone striked weddings, Biden continued immigrant detention policies. This is why the actual Left denounce th

I think the commenter is alluding to writing software, as software is considered speech in some places.

I've seen multiple stories of people buying phones from Fi, the phones never arriving, google refusing a refund, and on a chargeback, their entire google account gets shut down.

I wasn't defending the sony action, more defending the take you replied to.

Whoops, not sure where I read they were state charges.

It's not the tech but who sees the benefits. The issue at play is the monopolization and concentration of power. Ie, why can one guy who is insanely wealthy due to stock valuations take loans against that to pull various levers of powe

He traveled across state lines to attend a protest with a gun he didn't personally own. If that was self defense, so was this case.

The important thing to note here, is because it's not a real organization, but treated like one, they can simply tie anyone against the admin to a "designated terrorist organization" and put them away for decades with little

IIRC these were state charges, not federal. Only chance at the zine-hider seeing actual justice is texas doing a blue flip(hell freezing over).

Political reasons =/= actual bad actors. The person you're replying to made a case that a person with outsized influence is creating media to stir resentment for attention and your conclusion is "political reasons". The

It's still in their interest to offload the responsibility to legislation so they're not held accountable for frying kids brains.

> Has it been proved in a court of law that it is a copyright violation? God I'm so tired of this. The billion dollar companies have the ability to hire an army of lawyers to DDOS the legal system. They at most pay a slap-on-the-wri

Because if you give an inch to that line of thinking, it leads to broader dehumanization and mass tragedy.

Being an ad you need to consider the purpose behind the ad, and what exaggerations may be being made for the ad. IE a Ram truck won't make you a manly cowboy with just the purchase.

I'm in a similar boat and I find it really hard to talk watches with folks who are experienced in the way of the Rolex AD. I really enjoy cheaper vintage watches that call back to when everyone had one of them on their wrist. Something

Economics isn't a science. It's a vibe check. That's why unprofitable companies make up a majority of the stock market.

I'm saying you leaving a comment taking the name "National Socialist" literally is a well trodden path of misinformation and a long standing part of the post-war revisionism, such as the "Clean Wehrmacht" myth and t

This person is either willfully ignorant, or an actual fascist attempting to blur the line. This exact line of thought has been used for decades to subvert the actual history of the Nazi party and their co-operation with corporations, under

You can point to the recent invasion of Lebanon and the image of an IDF soldier taking a sledge hammer to a statue of Jesus. Those might be the upset neighbors. Rightfully so as they were told to evacuate their homes so the homes could be l
