I've returned to the high seas, eye patch and all.

I found a seedbox provider that is fairly cheap and works well. I have a long standing rss feed for new shows so next step is going to be getting it setup to auto download for me. I can do it locally but spectrum is hard core with the dmca notices and I don't want to risk losing my account.

Feds subpoena Ticketmaster over egregious concert ticket prices — A spokesperson for Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster, said the firm doesn't “feel comfortable” sharing information with Congress

That's just the beginning. Other artists have tried to avoid livenation venues but when the artist finds a venue, livenation just goes and buys said venue. That shit right there should have been taken to court.

Funny how these legal actions against companies like this only happen under democratic presidents.

I thought this fud had been debunked.

Are you accounting for the energy used to extract the oil, the energy used to transport it to a refinery, the energy used to refine it, the energy used to transport it to the gas station and then the energy used to pump into your car?

There is no way that the carbon needed to create a battery is more over the decades of life for said battery along with the renewable used to charge it, than the ongoing carbon released to keep ice engines running.

There is also a move to power battery facilities with renewables and when we reach a point where batteries are being recycled it gets even better.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. We have to move past ice engines and right now ev is our best option.

This is not new behavior from the repubs. They went after Clinton the same way and could only get him for purgery (iirc) because he lied about something that honestly should have stayed between Bill and Hillary.

It's insane how much time and money they waste on trying to get the democrats instead of actually legislating and helping the idiots that voted them in. These morons keep voting for them though.

This isn't theft of need. A more insidious type of crime is pushing some stores to close

Who is downvoting this?

Certain items are being stolen to be resold. This isn't about someone stealing food to feed their kids or unable to afford tampons or pads. Name brand dish detergent and other stuff gets stolen and then resold as the "fell off a truck" at a discount. There are also people who steal on demand, basically personal shoppers but they don't pay for it.

I have no idea what the answer is but the comments here that say they hope everything is stolen from wmt, tgt, etc shows unfathomable ignorance as to what happens when stores close and not only do people lose their jobs, the area becomes a food desert if that was the only place to shop for those without reliable transportation.
