Just a cheap Usenet provider. They're cheap for what the provide but in my opinion on par with the more expensive "premium" providers. https://frugalusenet.com/

DM me if you want invites to private indexers. They are paid but cheap. I also recommend frugal Usenet because...well...I'm cheap.

It's fucking moot.

So wait, let me get this straight, people shouldn't install Linux to avoid windows because they might make edge somehow critical to the use of major websites? Why not just use Linux anyways since that's not happening anytime soon (especially not with the market share Chrome and Firefox have)

And I would work in solar or wind if my province wasn't actively in the pocket of energy companies and purposefully dissuading renewable projects.

I work in oil and gas and I understand that it's detrimental to the future of our children and grand children. I don't hate oil specifically, I hate pollution and industries that purposefully drive humanity to the brink of extinction for profit.

From his Wikipedia:

"Murphy won a Progressive Conservative nomination in 1975. However, he abandoned it due to lack of funds. Instead, Murphy went to work as special assistant to PC leader and Premier Frank Moores.[4]

He then switched parties in the 1980s and served two years as chief researcher for the provincial Liberal caucus before running for provincial office twice, as a Liberal."

Sucks to suck.

"Murphy argued that climate change is "a sub-branch of climate politics". He criticized former American Vice President Al Gore's opposition to the Alberta oil sands and in a 2013 column, called the industry "a dazzling and profitable engineering endeavor of which all Canadians should be proud"."

Rex can absolutely get fucked, what a sellout shitbag.

Exactly this, I think many of us just are not going back. Give it time, their little share price might not feel it but their sales certainly will.

If you only ever pay for things that benefit you, the social contract starts to erode. Not helping those in need tends to reat it's ugly head one way or another. That's literally how taxes are supposed to work.

I'm here in Alberta, Canada and we are also using enormous amounts of coal and natural gas for electricity despite having almost perfect conditions for solar and wind generation. Funny that.

Listen I'm not huge fan of China but credit where credit is due, they are kicking ass at transitioning to renewables, subway and highspeed rail and EVs.

Yeah Bahn Mi isn't really Vietnamese since it uses French baguette, Tacos aren't Mexican since they use European meats and cheeses not available to Native Americans, Thai chilie is from North America, etc. Fuck outta here.
