1. 10-15 dollars a month is not exorbitant and quite worth it with a media server.

2. sabnzbbd or nzgget are hardly poorly documented or undiscoverable.

3. you need to get an indexer which handles all those files over 2 million posts. the software in 2 will put them together for you with minimal effort.

i would recommend a premium indexer as they are quite cheap but there are free available.

i would also like to note that since you're not using a torrent you can't be done for distribution of copywritten material to the same scale as you can for a torrent.

i think the argument goes that all human culture is remixed from human culture. if you write a book it's safe to say you have borrowed from other works of culture. you might have put a new spin on it but that isn't to say you have created something wholly new. how could you possibly claim to have crated a new artistic work uninfluenced by previously created artistic works? thus how much of this work do you truly own?

when you look at the Disney animation classic's back catalogue you see an awful lot of work from the commons. does this not display the value of having these works in the commons?

yes but if you flip the numbers is gets weird. a third of expats in Italy wanted the UK to leave the EU? that doesn't mean it would be hard to find someone to interview for "entertainment". Every third group should have someone.

i totally agree. in Ireland we had a lot of grumbling about it at the time but the impact on plastic pollution in the streets and fields and roads has been massive.

plastic straw ban has little impact mostly because people tend to leave their drinks in the fast food restaurant rather than take them home. it't not as obvious that it's helping and aren't the cups coated in plastic?

so it's womens fault? maybe if pay and conditions were better and they had more stability they would want families earlier.

you're right! lets just let the free market decide! /s

in reality though these are private institutions run with private money. how can you blame the government when it seems they have little interest in acknowledging there is a problem in the first case.

While a home-birth can be quite safe i'm astonished to hear about a community that would ignore the need for a midwife. midwifery is probably the second oldest profession and every community and culture around the world has an equivalent. I cannot see any benefit for not having at least this much.

naive question but could we resolve this with asteroid mining?

is it beyond them to supply their own DoT or DoH services (maintaining the info they have) and then using that as a selling point?

the only issue i can think of in tech is protecting tech employee's from being fired for refusing to work on unethical software.

what's unique is that juul goes at 50mg of nic, where most small operators would stop at 20mg. with step downs all the way to 0mg. juul only offers 50mg. (20mg in Europe as that is the legal max)

i have to disagree. you're both wrong. the most common in all coils is Kanthal A1. If your building your own coils then NI200 is quite popular atm, but most tank and coil systems use Kanthal.
