Are most of you using Torrents or Usenet?
I use torrents almost exclusively because of the price (free) and convenience. That is, I can get them easily where I live for no additional cost beyond my low speed internet. I have no extra money at all, at this time in my life, unfortunately.

To anyone who thinks music piracy is dead
Reply in thread
I mostly listen to jazz, blues and classical. I use rutracker which has everything I want and in lossless formats. Mp3s too but I'm more interested in lossless.

Newsgroups?
Interesting. Newsgroups are literally what i used last century for my piracy. But back then you got newsgroups (and other services) included with your internet.

Where is this from that there were just these six options for plates? Stores had dozens of plate varieties and they changed from year to year.

Well unless their ideology is baked into the programming I'm not sure why it would matter. It certainly doesn't matter to me.

Canada clamps down on cruise liners dumping sewage, green groups want more | Reuters
It's ridiculous that they're even allowed to dump untreated/poorly treated sewage and other effluent into the ocean within the 200 nautical miles which is Canada's jurisdiction.

how many uncles speak like that?
I have no idea what uncles have to do with this especially but I've heard lots of people, young, old, male, female say these kinds of things.

I use a free VPN (Windscribe's free 15 GB) from time to time if I'm torrenting something very new. Otherwise I don't use one.

Regina top spot to retire in Canada, report says
It's strictly about cost of living. Nothing else. Most people's retirement locations have more to do with where their children/family are than anything else.
