People like Todd have become so convinced of their importance; they forget what is they're supposed to do. Reporters and news anchors have the duty to report the news. They need to gather the info, check facts, ask questions and then provide the information to the public who digest and make decisions based upon what they have seen or read. Chuck Todd's tweet is indicative of the condition he and other journalists suffer. They are no longer content to report. They believe it is their mission to tell people what to think.Mosquito Repellent Well, Spring is right around the corner. Probably. Want to ward off mosquitoes? Candles and bracelets are worthless.

Yoko has the broad, flat face of a 1949 Packard. She wears a braless white suit to go with her Terry-Thomas gapped smile. And the voice: sounds like one of those hellish Oriental instruments, all bamboo slats and scrap metal.

so our dishwasher is fairly loud (not too bad, can't hear it upstairs) - I run it at night after we sleep
it just occurred to me that it might scare a puppy to hear the noises suddenly at night
should I plan on running it while ppl are awake instead?

Vet did a bunch of tests and all came back negative, including Giardia and Parvo (thank God!) Put him on
an IV for a bit because he was somewhat dehydrated. Also gave him
something for upset tummy as well as an antibiotic--just in case.
Vet
thinks it's probably due to eating a holly berry or leaf and is feeling
positive about full recovery because Whiskey's condition seems to have stabilized and he
was able to get him to eat a little of that Hill's Prescription Diet.
He's been eating a lot more today and is definitely a whole lot better. Things are looking great. So relieved.

Screw Netflix, HULU. and Amazon video.
They all blocked VPN's by choice. THey didn't have to. But they did.
Kind of like if UPS demanded that you leave your front door and bedroom door unlocked and your underwear drawer open so that they can deliver your packages there.
Ain't nothin on Netflix that I need to see.

The content makers demand it. They all have separate deals for distribution in different countries. VPN lets users obfuscate what country they are in and get product that they aren't supposed to be getting.
Of course, as the end user, your only recourse is to withhold your business. If enough people do, it still goes up the line. If Netflix has less subscribers, they are turning over less money to the producers, so maybe they will motivated to change the rules.

How much is anyone willing to bet that the next Star Wars movies suddenly involves the Empire being opposed to alien "immigrants"?
----------------------
Immigrate from where? The Empire already controls the known parts of the galaxy.
In any case, Lucas's shortsightedness in casting has already been used to claim that the Emperor was biased against non-humans. And people have since expanded it to say that he was also biased against non-whites.
As for Marvel, the films are separate and distinct from the comic books. The people doing the comic books have no say over the films. So the stupidity that the printed stuff has been up to lately hasn't leaked over yet. And the people doing the films have, so far, kept a fairly close eye on ensuring that the content isn't overly controversial.
Consider - Captain America: The First Avenger was a non-ironic patriotic film.
I'm not saying they won't screw it up in the future. But they've been smart about it so far.

Most of Europe is lucky if they get a third.
There's a reason why there were literally dozens of VPN companies explicitly advertising their services as a means to circumvent regional licensing restrictions.
Netflix turned a blind eye for years, but eventually, VPN traffic reached a point that content providers and distributors began threatening to pull the plug.

Couple a things:
1. With a VPN, they can't tell what country you are in. You could be in US or Europe or anyplace else as far as Netflix can tell.
2. No, there is no legal requirement for Netflix to deny VPN traffic, except perhaps licensing agreements. But, the content producers - Hollywood - have no legal requirement to license their product to Netflix. Whether it is a written agreement, or merely an understanding, If Hollywood tells Netflix that they are not going to get the licensing deals unless they do something about VPN traffic, then Netflix doesn't have much of a choice. They don't have enough of their own content to be able to tell Hollywood to go pound sand. If they did do that, they would lose a lot more subscribers than just the VPN users. Since they can't say no to Hollywood, they say no to VPN.

Deet is the best, of course, but other than that a great mosquito repellent is smoking a cigarette. This is another reason why anti-smokers are so angry and pissed off ... they're dying from being endlessly harassed by swarms of nasty mosquitoes while they see the smokers all puffing away and laughing it up.

Yeah that can ONLY happen on a VPN. *eyeroll* "
No, I mean like Nextflix getting paid once for several different users. Let's say you never watch from 9am to 5 pm because you are at work. Your buddy works night sift and lives in another state, so you share your password and VPN address with him. You both can stream whatever you want, just not at the same time. Yes, this was happening and it is different from DVD burning, and more like simple theft.
I am not calling YOU a crook, but crooks exist, and things like Netflix wouldn't exist if they could be ripped off easily. Yes, VPNs are legal, yes they are secure, and yes I understand why you use them and won't compromise. But I am willing to trade a little privacy for content and I don't harbor a grudge against someone wanting to protect their cash box.

Lawyers have nothing to do with it. If streamers want to stream Moana, and Disney wants to put contractual limits on who the streamers can stream it to, that's between Disney and the streamers.
Lawyers are only involved in making sure that the agreed upon terms end up in the contract that everyone signs.

No.
It's not.
HULU then Netflix had payment records from me . With a US address. They decided to cave in to pressure that MIGHT come from content providers.
MIGHT.
No one took any legal action, they just pussed out.
They cut me me off mid-subscription. And when I complained they told me that I was using " criminal tools" and that they had "caught" me. That went over really well with me.

I helped out bagging them and afterward he would sit at a table in the tent pulling them out, categorizing them, and drawing blood samples. Shitloads of moths and other insects flooded the tent, and when it got too much, he fired up a cigarette, and it was hilarious to see how the flying bugs would settle down.

What the content people are trying to defend are ridiculous prices. Sure, it's their right to try ... they can try to sell digital books for more than people used to pay for paper books. But, at some point, people are going to look at that and say, "Hey!! That's fucked up!"
Guess what ... it's fucked up. And they're fighting a losing battle, anyway. I mean it's really laughable.

Netflix will be required to open up its catalogues in Europe following a ruling from the European Parliament.
The online streaming service regularly uses "geo-fencing" to limit certain shows and films to certain geographical locations .
However, bosses in Europe have demanded the US-based technology company allow people to access their online media wherever they are on the continent.
It would mean that French viewers could watch their favourite French shows whether they are staying in Germany, Italy or Spain.
http://www.mirror.co.uk/tech/netflix-stop-blocking-tv-shows-9823660
Of course, this only applies to the EU, not the US. But, since there is pushback against "geo-fencing", they may eventually relent regarding VPNs.

Pretty sure a contemporary '64 Stude commercial van would have had a keystone grille, and probably have been made at the White works in Montpelier. That little factory had one hell of a history.
@355 All the regular episodes from the first ten+ years are the original run. There were several two-hour sets in there. People who comment on such things say that the re-runs are carved up to allow for commercials, so if you can find those years on a fully-licensed and permitted recorded format of the original broadcasts instead of some cheap cheating international cartel of back-alley video screenings, you'll likely enjoy them more. Bwahaha.

Yes, horseshoes were a poor analogy. Ideally films and tv shows are more like artwork, and the price for art varys wildly.
Yes, distribution costs are very low, but not zero. Yes, there is something of a monopoly now, but Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and others are changing that due to the sheer volume of content that is being produced by them and paid for by us. And the market will work out the unit pricing through competition.
The way I get to purchase content right now has some suckage, but it is getting less sucky every day. I dropped cable because I didn't want to support the liberal channels and I can't buy individual channels. Cable, Dish, Netflix, they all extract viewing data and use it to make money, so that is gonna go on no matter what.
My point was simply that shows cost money to produce, and good shows cost a lot. I don't agree with Hollywood's world view, but I do want to reward the folks that put out the few good shows that I enjoy. Movies can't change the way that the music industry changed, there is no way to see a live version of The Terminator, for example. You can see your favorite actor in a play, but it is not as close an analog as seeing your favorite band live.
Have I made a copy of a friend's CD? Sure I have.
Have I ripped a DVD for a friend? No, too time consuming and too much quality loss. Would I share my streaming connection with a neighbor? No, because the cost is low enough that they can easily get their own, and at the end of the day somebody's gotta pay for this stuff or people will stop making it.

Inasmuch that I had to, at gunpoint, disarm my only brother of a gun he had stolen from me, and then force him to pack his bags, grab his behaviorless dog, and deposit them on the side of I-10 East, I can relate to your pain as to the loss of a friend.
Still.
Run the fucker out of town on a rail, just as fast as you can.
Let my experience be a strength to you. Said brother has since enjoyed two separate terms in Club Fed for his transgressions, with many more lesser stays in local greybar hotels, for lesser offenses.

Posted by: Don Q. at February 19, 2017 12:05 AM (qf6WZ)
My dad hated cats, too. So I never had them growing up. I asked him about it, but he never gave me an explanation other than he hated them.
Fast forward to me at age 42, when I adopted a pair of kittens (loooong story). I soon discovered that I was allergic to them. Waking up in the middle of the night unable to breathe was my first clue. But I was so in love with them by that point that I would have sooner had my lungs removed than give them up.
I worked with my doctor and tried several different medications until we hit on one that worked well. I used it for years, then noticed that I needed it less and less, until I finally stopped taking it altogether.
I think I actually built up an immunity to the cats.

This and the left's insane defense of islam has been on my mind a lot lately. So much so that I've been thinking that the Rosary needs to be championed as a means of defense ( It worked at the Battle of Lepanto and I'm giving it credit for the decline in abortion rates). Then, today our beautiful FLOTUS recited the Lord's Prayer at the beginning of the rally! Maybe that's a sign we need to include a Higher Power in this battle?

The showdown with the villain was a mess, but the rest of it was pretty cool, as far as super hero thrillers go.
I'd much rather have seen Edward Norton play the lead role (Ben Affleck is an insufferable ass), but it was an interesting enough premise to make me want to believe it is remotely possible. And I was willing to watch Ben Affleck.

It survived a weeklong course of antibiotics.
So, I have been eating garlic. Cooked, uncooked, whatever.
5 heads a day. Not five cloves, five entire heads. I did that for a week.
The infection is now gone.

1-2 years, left during the writing of the first album. My influence was in a few tunes. I just wasn't liking the show they wanted to do, it wasn't fitting the music at that time. I did get to play with them again about 15 years ago when they were needing guitar players yet again, but the ones leaving ended up staying, so that was a month of prep out the window. Tell you the truth, I never really like the music all that much, was lighter than I like.
