GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•U.S. fully bans asbestos, which kills 40,000 a yearEnglish1·1 year agoThis is correct. The only thing that is regulated is the disposal (at least in WA) - otherwise home owners are legally allowed to remove it themselves as they see fit. Not that I recommend it if you don’t know what you’re doing, but you won’t get a fine.
Source: am homeowner who (with saftey precautions such as a tent of 3 mil plastic, negative airflow, HEPA shopvac, soap and water, and a proper respirator) removed asbestos tape from my duct work.
GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.worldto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•DMCA takedown requests - how responsive?English3·1 year agoIt’s understandable, sure. It’s also a little more complex up front. For me personally, the pros outweigh the cons and I’d much rather use Usenet over torrenting, even with the cost.
I definitely think it’s DMCA, unfortunately.
GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.worldto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•DMCA takedown requests - how responsive?English141·1 year agoFor indexers, I have DrunkenSlug, nzbgeek, and nzbplanet. My backbone providers are UsenetExpress, FrugalUsenet, and Giganews. You can use https://whatsmyuse.net to make sure you don’t have overlapping backbones.
GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.worldto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•DMCA takedown requests - how responsive?English10·1 year agoThe main benefit is that you don’t need to use a VPN, so you get full download speeds. Also the availability and download speed isn’t dependent on seeders, so more obscure content tends to survive longer on Usenet.

GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.worldto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•DMCA takedown requests - how responsive?English6·1 year agoThat’s not the problem here unfortunately. This is usually a complete take down on the server side, and has nothing to do with their location.
GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.worldto Star Trek @lemmy.world•Walter Koenig on the Lean Years After Star Trek: TOS – ‘The Phone Didn't Ring’English19·1 year ago$10,000 in 1967 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $92,911.98 today, an increase of $82,911.98 over 57 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 3.99% per year between 1967 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 829.12%.
While not A list pay, that’s still not bad and a livable wage, unless I’m missing something obvious.
GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.worldto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•DMCA takedown requests - how responsive?English151·1 year agoUsenet, while way better than torrenting, still requires multiple indexers and providers for this reason. I have 3 of each and rarely ever run into this issue except for very niche releases.

GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.worldto homeassistant@lemmy.world•Critical notifications in Home AssistantEnglish1·1 year agoAt least on Android, you can make TTS go through your alarm channel on your phone at max volume, to really make sure you don’t miss it. I do this for my alarm and doorbell (only when I’m at home).
GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.worldOPto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Looking to move up from Neptune 2English1·1 year agoI probably won’t be going for commercial use, just hobby stuff mainly. It would be neat to do some nylon stuff but that’s probably as crazy as I’d get.
But yes, ideally my budget is $450-1200 (wide I know, but I’d like to explore my options).

GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How to auto-reboot if CPU load too high?English9·1 year agoCrontab to just auto reboot daily is probably better - if your PC becomes unresponsive I doubt it would be able to execute another script on top of everything. Ideally though, you’d do some log diving and figure out the cause.
GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.worldto Plex@lemmy.ml•Why did the ability to Watch Playlists Together go away?English5·1 year agoThis probably doesn’t help, but I use watch together by going to the individual episode and clicking it there. Of course, for a playlist or TV show that means you have to click it for every individual episode.

GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•China could use TikTok to influence US elections, spy chief saysEnglish21·1 year agoI’ve got bad news for you, the CCP is happy to use American social media to manipulate the populous, it doesn’t matter if it’s US owned or not.
It really does depend, so I mainly was speaking from my personal experience. But this is also why using both is recommended for *aar, because then you get the best of both worlds.
