Indeed, I would invite our Irish readers to weigh in!

Do you want people downloading torrents?

Because THIS is how you get people downloading torrents.

Right on! Here's another quote from the article I found:

"Carbon levels [...] are good [...] keep [...] burning [...] fossil fuels [...] dude."

Damn woke mainstream media always pushing a selective narrative!!

^Citation please.

We have punishment EVERYWHERE. And it's pretty evident it works.

Want to park wherever you want? Don't care if you get a ticket? Ever just park in the middle of the street?

Want to drive however you want? Ignore the center line, stop signs and lights?

Drive without a license? Why bother with all that nonsense?

That's just driving. Punishments do work. Maybe don't turn to the most extreme examples to prove your point. Anyone could do any of the things I mentioned above, but generally don't.

Given how we've seen how Musk really likes to behave with the Twitter shenanigans, curious if that'll spill over to his other companies?

Like what's to stop Musk from doing something ridiculous with this system?

Curious what client people are using these days?

I've been running an old version of uTorrent, but oddly Windows has started 'warning' me about it as of a couple weeks ago..

Anything newer that's light and does the trick?

As someone who rides close to 16k km a year, a high performance tire (say Conti 5000) lasts around 5000km. That's assuming there's no damage, which also occurs quite a bit. I've had tires with just a few 100 km and a slash from road debris rendered useless. This might be less of an issue with this design as well.

"But Interisle found that whatever GoDaddy was doing wasn't working."

There. Fixed that, not just this issue.

Such a scammy company, no surprise.

Wow, they just discovered it happened TWICE?!

Just imagine if Musk had as much input and issued his commands on SpaceX as he does Twitter.

Exactly. And what's particularly insidious is how people start siding with fucking FACEBOOK.

People are actually defending fucking FACEBOOK.

Give your head a shake people.

If you're siding with fucking FACEBOOK you're probably on the wrong side.

Right, which is why vegans, who typically eat lower amounts of saturated fat, and lots more carbs, have skyrocketing rates of CVD.

Not.

Funny how those who consume no cholesterol have among the lowest rates of CVD.

What is CVD? It's a bloodstream blockage made of...cholesterol. How are fats transported in the body? Through blood.

Fill your blood with fats, and they form blockages.

Reduce those fats, and you get far fewer blockages, or even reverse the condition (which has been done over and over on a low-fat vegan diet. No drugs needed.)

This is a bit over-simplified, but if you're not dumping those fats in your body, they can't be blocking your bloodstream. It's pretty much impossible to get CVD eating this way (short of some weird genetic disorder.)

And just as a side note, endurance athletes like cyclists eat a HUGE proportion of carbs, like 70%+. Again, if carbs were the problem, they'd been keeling over en masse.

"About 40% of all corn grown in the US is used for ethanol production, and nearly half is used as animal feed."

So if I'm reading this correctly, presumably only about 10% of all corn grown in the US is actually eaten by humans..?

No one ever uses Jesus's innumerable quotes on how much he liked shooting children either, Christians are so selective.

FWIW I kinda liked G+. It made it really easy to choose who to see, with different lists, etc.. It had a great browser interface, which is a big plus for me (ha!) Also overall I'm a fan of Twitter.

I'd say Threads is becoming a bit of a nuisance already, because you can't control who you see. There's just a 'timeline'. Not of who you're following, but of 'everyone'. If you're seeing something you don't want to, your only option really is to 'mute' accounts, which is a crappy way to go about this. But otherwise there's just random posts coming up in your timeline, most I have little interest in.

Another odd thing is that it's not terribly easy or intuitive to read the comments on posts/threads, which I kind of feel like should be a bigger feature of this. Due to this, I think it ends up a bunch of people commenting, but never really seeing what others have commented..so it's often just the same comment over and over.

Those are a few of the shortcomings I've encountered so far, it's got that new social media smell which is kind of fun, but I'll admit I'm starting to lose interest already.
