Wow thank you for the info, I didn't know they had such advanced lookups.

Websites don't have an actual check for a legit email... That's why they send confirmation links to click. Forms check that it ends with @something.something, sometimes they can add filters to not allow anything other than the 20 most popular domains. Or they can block addresses with less than 3 characters, because nobody real has those. But most forms you can keyboard smash anything@anything.anything. They just might make a temp account until it's confirmed or something.

But joeblow@aol.com almost certainly was/is real.

Edit: looks like I was also incorrect!

What I think is crazy: at your 1 gigabit per second speed, if you use your full speed for only 3 hours you will go over your data limit. For the month.

I had basically the same experience. I could download a 100gb game but not finish installation, just a shitty error code, support was trash too asking me to change my default windows program install location.

Did you notice that when you install games from the Xbox app on a drive, it makes special folders that you can't delete? It installs them with TrustedInstaller, and that means that the administrator isn't allowed to delete them! You have to open up the folders and change the owner back to a user, then give that user permission to delete the fucking folder. Bullshit insidious software that I won't use anymore.

I'll copy paste the bill summary from congress.gov:

This bill expands an existing anti-boycott law to include certain boycotts imposed by international governmental organizations (IGOs).

Current law prohibits various actions by U.S. persons (individuals or entities) in relation to boycotts imposed by foreign governments on a country which is friendly to the United States and that is not itself the object of a U.S. boycott. This bill applies those prohibitions to similar boycotts imposed by IGOs.

Prohibited actions include (1) refusing to do business with companies organized under the laws of the boycotted country, if the refusal is pursuant to an agreement with or request from the country or IGO imposing the boycott; (2) refusing to employ any U.S. person on the basis of race, religion, sex, or national origin; and (3) furnishing information about whether someone is associated with charitable or fraternal organizations that support the boycotted country.

The bill also requires the President to annually submit to Congress and make available to the public a report describing these boycotts and listing the foreign countries and international organizations involved in fostering or imposing them.

This is also selection bias, the furries that dont upload their art every day and make it their profile pic aren't seen, only the ones that do.

It's the killdeer! We get returning birds across the road every year. Silly little running cotton balls with rock colored eggs in gravel nests, and they just had babies.

If you like and want to buy a Tesla for reasons other than supporting Musk or his companies, I'd hear the argument. But there are better choices in vehicles for every reason I can think of, and expensive luxury electric vehicles can be had without it being a Tesla.

I'm with you in spirit if not numbers. My experience with hexbear users led me to blocking the whole instance, and I regularly block people I don't even converse with based on how they treat other users or other topics. If someone has such a bad take on topic A, I don't care about their possible opinions on topic B and C in the future.

I get the argument of echo chamber isolation, but most of the things I'm willing to block people over are also things that I won't be changing my mind about because of a forum post.

Who even cares if rumors are founded? We're just asking questions.

This article is just, "making a TV show is expensive and a lot of it goes to the place you made the show" ?

Why is it being framed as some huge charity case/economy boost? It's a TV show and they filmed it in one of the most expensive places available.

I suppose it could have all been sets and greenscreen and it would have been cheaper, and it was an intentional choice to spend more money in the city, but I didn't the why mentioned in the article at all.

I blocked the instance with Sync, yet I can still see their users comments on other threads. Is there any way to completely block it all? Other than moving instances I guess.
