My car insurance went up $1200 this year, which blows my mind. No reason given.
Kind of like jobs. If you stay with the same company for more than a couple years, you’re probably doing yourself a disservice.

Squeeze a third of the bottle into the trash, replace missing portion with Underwood ranches Sriracha, shake well and squirt on anything edible.
So, all I am suggesting is that you take some acres in a corner somewhere in every forest and make a gun range. This would keep the noise and trash in one place and would also allow the forest rangers and BLM to police the areas and enforce rules and safety.
That definitely helps. The wildlife refuge nearest me is set up like that. As soon as you enter there is a nice, free, maintained shooting range right there. It does help corral the randos that just come out to make noise.
Overly simplistic and assuming you are talking about the US: So you spent 80M making a movie but for whatever reason it never makes it out of production, you never see any return on this investment. But overall this year you made 100M from something else. When you do your taxes, you can “write off” this 80M spent as a loss, so you only have to pay taxes on the remaining 20 million. It doesn’t deduct 80M from taxes owed.
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.
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?
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.
I enjoy them, especially the surrealist stuff.
It’s under Settings -> Blocks -> then down at the bottom is the block instances option.
You can on instances running .19 or newer. Settings -> Blocks -> then at the bottom is an option for blocking instances.
Reminds me of The Love Toilet from SNL.
My cat wipes the condensation off windows so she can look out.
Yes. The same as alcohol.
Perhaps they should start a gofundme or something.
