RSS, is a fantastic thing, which makes it very easy to keep track of updates, news, blog posts, etc..... for hundreds of things at the same time.... in an easily consumable method.

IMO-

Feedly, is one of the better PAID apps.

FreshRSS is a great self-hosted alternative. This is what I use.

Lindsey Stirling? Not sure if this is up your alley, but, her music is pretty great.

Also, Two Cellos, and the Piano guys.

Its, not classical. It's all instrumental music, no singing.

Oh, and as a bonus- more of their songs then not, are pretty damn good. I can listen to them non-stop through an entire workday.

My supervisor wants me to take time off of work, more then I take time off of work. lol.

Although, granted, I have worked in an environment like this.... aka, the united states army.

Where, getting your vacation approved, takes no less than a full miracle.

Its ok, I ETS-d with literally close to a year of vacation. On the plus side, you can indefinitely accumulate leave. So, I sold a few months, got an extra up-front paycheck, and then, got paid for a good chunk of a year after leaving.

No, because, it does not fix the root problem.

Also, banning things isn't the way to fix things.

I would also be a hypocrite for changing to legalize pot, while also chanting to ban corn-based sugars.

You do too. It just might not be reflected on your phone bill, and is just lumped in with your normal taxes / VAT/etc....

Trust me. This is CHEAP compared to what I had a decade ago.

One Decade ago, I paid 95$ a month for "15 mbit" ADSL. Which- topped out around 8Mbit/s on a GOOD day. (Rain/moisture wrecked hell on the lines around here.)

I don't think you are helping the case here!

You are just adding another reason as to why I shouldn't be hosting lemmy from my personal infrastructure.

The root issue here, when your local police department knocks down your door with guns drawn in the US, after you were anonymously reported to the feds-

They aren't asking questions. If your children don't get a flashbang to the face during the surprise entry into your home, and your dog doesn't get shot, you are doing good.

Here in the US, you goto jail first. You get somebody putting fingers up your ass looking for drugs first. You have to post your own bail.

THEN, when you finally get a court date months later, THEN, you can make your case as to why there was CASM content, hosted at your IP.

It is NOT WORTH THE RISK!

Yea... Comcast is really bad about that. When I had them a decade back, I made sure to being my own hardware.

My ISP has no problem breaking out the fees.

And.... I am indeed, in the US.

So, not seeing the issue here.

Yup. That's basically what I was trying to say.

Yes. Learned to drive with one. Got my license with one.

Sadly, don't own one right now, but, will prob get one in the future again. Every 2nd or 3rd car I have picked up, has had a stick.

I'm from the mid-west USA.
