IMO if your survival depends on doing a ‘job’ (especially if you’re employed by someone else), then it’s better to look for fulfilment in your personal life and realize the job is a means to survive and hopefully also fund what you really want to do for yourself and your loved ones.

Work to live, not live to work.

It’s open source - literally the opposite of black box.

It might also be from oxidation. There are a lot of ways that can happen, even directly through the walls of the tubing between the kegs and faucets if it’s the cheap kind.

Also be cognizant that in that scenario you would have benefitted greatly from a system which does immense harm to a subset of the population by exploiting addiction.

You gotta love how getting suggested content they don’t like from the recommendation engine means they’re a victim.

In reality it’s supposed to be even more strict. They’re trying to get around this by having a private company own the cameras. If the government owned the cameras, they would need to get a warrant with a sufficiently narrow target from a judge before initiating electronic surveillance to track the targets’ location.

If something is really going on which justifies it, getting a warrant is trivial and probable cause is a low bar.

All the posts advocating for combining baking soda and vinegar for cleaning.

Such a shame that so few people know how to ride a horse these days. You still see them across the countryside and in many cities, but most people choose not to learn.

Which brands are acceptable to be associated with?

(I don’t own one, and I’m not familiar with what other brands are available these days.)

Agreed. I’ve made a day trip to the neighboring state to buy a used car from a CL listing, but I probably wouldn’t travel to the other side of the country for it.

Similarly, for many things I wouldn’t travel more than an hour to get them.

The distance radius really needs to be adjustable per search to be useful outside of densely populated areas.

It seems like on CL the city labels are mostly for human readable convenience and behind the scenes it’s by distance. You can set a distance from any point:

One thing I would find valuable is mechanisms to dissuade the listings with obviously false prices. So many things on CL that aren’t really free or $1.

My use of eBay is closer to my use of Craigslist instead of being like an auction. I don’t like to wait for the long bidding windows used online. I also don’t like haggling on prices. In this case, people post what they’re selling, and if I decide to buy it a third party payment platform is used to transfer funds.

The differences are that CL is usually items I pick up personally instead of being shipped (but not always), and some CL sellers only accept cash. I have also picked up eBay purchases locally.

Couldn’t they also have not voted?

Thanks for the pointer! I took the opportunity to learn a bit about more recent NNTP by reading the standard: RFC 3977. It looks like nntp v2 circa 2006 added MIME encoding, so I would guess that may be how a service provider would differentiate.

I haven’t used Usenet since the turn of the century. Back then it was all text (including every article under alt.binaries), and even pirated media needed to be split into a multi-part format (often rar) then each part uuencoded so it could be included in an article.

Does your ISP not give your router a public (even if dynamic) IP? If not, then after your router you’d be double-natted right? Yuck!

What do you consider large files? Isn’t the article size usually limited to something like 1mb (it’s been a while since I used Usenet)?

So it would technically be about the number of articles rather than the eventual size of the combined archive? At the core it’s all still text right?

My dialup ISP in the 90s included Usenet.

But they are just as directly related.

It doesn’t matter how these units were originally defined. They have all been redefined as science progressed. As long as you relate the arbitrary unit to a constant it can be translated.
