On each video in your Suggested list, there's a dropdown mark (3 dots) in the upper righthand corner. Click that and it opens up a little dialog with one choice: "Not Interested". Click that, and in my experience that's the last you see of that channel.
In Montana 4 years ago, I was quoted between $25,000 and $75,000 per mile, depending on the company and the terrain. (A local co-op was the low end, a mid-sized Edison type was the high end.) First 300 feet is free, IF it comes from a main line, not some neighbor's drop.
In California 20 years ago, I was quoted $12/foot for above-ground and $40/foot ($210k/mile) for buried cable, but Edison told me both were now functionally no-goes due to CA's goofy regulations and high costs (new above-ground is now mostly prohibited, but buried cable is taxed as improved real estate, which makes it too costly for Edison's liking.) So new lines go only to major developments that can pay suitably large b/r/i/b/e/s/ fees.
So, yeah, new rural grid ain't happening, except for high-profit "rancho" type developments.
If it was really about what advertisers want, it would be up to ADVERTISERS to decide which channels they want their ads to appear on. (Most companies use ad agencies anyway, they don't do their own ad placement.) So instead of hiring 10,000 censors, YT could have hired 100 ad agency representatives, and probably would have sold a lot more advertising as a good rep would point the agency at likely prospects (not that hard to sort out, even just based on channel keywords). Then let what creators get paid reflect their desirability to advertisers as determined BY those advertisers, not by YT (and you can bet advertisers notice which channels get enough views to matter). Might get a better class of ads, too, instead of shitty irrelevant ads that generate a new class of ad blockers.
But, nope -- exactly as you said. It's purely about politics and agenda, fuck the advertisers and double-fuck the content creators.
How about a different approach? define a "battery" as a power-storage device designed to be replaceable by the end user. Then it doesn't matter what the device is, does, or is designed like -- the battery would by definition be replaceable, and the manufacturer would need to find a way to make it so.
Probably plenty of holes in this idea too, but the object is to approach the problem from the other direction.
I thought the decision to retire it had already been made. So what's with all the outrage?
Here's an idea. Put it up for auction to the highest bidder, with the provision that the private party takes on responsibility if it makes an ungraceful re-entry (eg. a crater in civilized territory), maybe require a bond to ensure compliance. Even if it sells at scrap prices for pennies on the dollar, that's still better than nothing, and who knows, a private party may make something of it. Hell, if necessary give it away (under the same liability terms) and let someone have a go at it. No loss, potential gain.
Subscription is a tolerable argument, for some users, so long as your created files are not held hostage, and are yours to take wherever you wish whether you subscribe or not.
But as soon as your files are held hostage, it's not subscription; it's extortion.
And the reason the "South Lahontan" district has basically zero water use is because Los Angeles took all its water; that region didn't used to be entirely desert.
Stuff made from plants is renewable, but contrary to urban perception, crops don't just magically spring forth from the ground; you've still got to plant, water, fertilize, and harvest it, then process the harvest (in this case, extract the oil). What's the net energy gain there, counting everything in the chain (including the natural gas used to make roughly half the required fertilizer, and the production and fueling of more farm equipment)?? or is it actually a net energy loss? I'm guessing it hovers slightly the wrong side of break-even.
And having lived in CA when the price of gasoline hit $5/gallon (and a buck higher in Lone Pine) -- the choice you make if you've still got to get somewhere, like to work, is generally to forego something major, like heating your house or replacing your rattletrap of a car, because more-trivial savings don't offset that much of an expenses spike.
Good point, and look at the label in your clothes... chances are it was made in one of these poor countries in the first place (a good job by local standards).
I clothes-shop almost entirely at the thrift store. Lots of nearly-new clothes for pennies on the dollar (and some places just give it away). Judging by how packed the average thrift store is, the market for used clothes is a helluva lot larger than that for new clothes. Maybe this is just sour grapes from the new-clothes market.
Maybe the rag market isn't what it used to be (since now furniture, insulated coats, sleeping bags, and the like are stuffed with synthetics rather than shredded old clothes), but that's a different thing entirely.
The symptom set described in TFS screams "thyroid impact" -- at a guess, it accelerates the natural decline of thyroid production, leading to the assorted side effects (including testosterone deficiency). Meaning it should be treatable the same way you'd deal with ordinary hypothyroidism.
Anyone over 50 should have an annual thyroid profile anyway (the whole set, not just TSH test). Most of what we attribute to "aging" is actually age-related hypothyroidism. For any chronic condition, ALWAYS look at thyroid first, it affects *everything*, and fixing it will make a host of apparently-unrelated conditions go away without further treatment.
[I sound like a broken record about this, but it's really frustrating to have read reams of research and realise that almost none of it has trickled down to medical practice, let alone been considered where it may impact other research.]
I have an early P75 ready to hand (well, I could bring it up from the basement) which should be close enough to a 486 for quick test purposes... stay tooned...
My 486DX2-66 couldn't play MP3s (MIDIs and MODs were fine). My P90 could, but it was a near thing (if WinAmp was going, that was about all it could do). Both with the same Win3.1 setup, so wasn't the OS hogging the system. Decoding 'MP3s simply chewed too much CPU, so the 486 stuttered and gagged, and the P90 was pegged at 90%.
However, the 486 was just fine for the office and internet software of its day. It ran Microsoft and WordPerfect Office, Netscape 3, and assorted utilities of the era, often all at the same time.

Basically if it's open to the public, you can't (generally) discriminate. If it's membership-only, then you can.

There's PewTube, but it's new and still pretty small. But the founder has said flat out, no censorship.

Nope, they just make it so you have to use their $8000/gallon ink.

Run a VM for old OS and old software.
Or keep around old PC for when you need same.
Or do like me, become a curmudgeon and live in a cave. ;)
I'd have used the term "extortion", but, yeah.
Excellent idea. I suggest using these maps to define the split:

Where did civility go? Hillary killed it when she called half the country a "basket of deplorables".
Okay, if that's how you feel, m'lady, the gloves are off.
Not exactly. Fertilizer isn't just nitrogen. First chart I came to:

A slightly different version... let it run all the way...

I'd guess rather that this wifi thing being outside WD's field of expertise, they perforce relied on a contractor to have the required expertise.
How do you tell when someone doesn't actually know as much as they claim, when you know nothing about it at all?
And I expect they're not alone.
I was thinking of the very old ISOs that are still floating around... [looking in my archive]
Puppy_Lighthouse215SeaM_Beta5.iso (2007)
Puppy_4.2retro-k2.6.21.7-seamonkey.iso (2009)
are the oldest that I have stashed here.
