They don't have a repo as far as I know. Hence the manual .deb install.

Uh, or you're still cooking after getting back from work?

Conversely, healthy people have (mandated) health insurance at minimal cost to the insurance companies.

Not sure your location, but in the us at least most banks have a bill pay service where they will send a paper check for you at no cost.

I know a lot of it is nostalgia speaking but I still hold that Jeff Buckley's version is the best. I think he captures the emotion I feel perfectly in his voice.

Sure but that doesn't change the lack of competition. For my address, I have two non wireless providers, and one of them is copper only and capped at 50 down. So not a lot of choice if an ISP is screwing you.

Ah yes, I will just go to another ISP. Wait, there's only one.

What's challenging about paywalls and not wanting to spend money is not necessarily not wanting to spend, but convenience and cost. If it costs me 10 cents for each blog or tutorial or github page I look at while working on a project, or 1 cent for every funny video, that adds up. And do I have to put my credit card in for every site? Hope that every site has good enough security to prevent payment information leaks?

And I don't think anyone is interested in a Netflix-style internet that fractures into 6 different subscriptions to get every site you need on the web.

I think they meant two party consent free as in free from the requirement for two party consent.

Yeah but night time and IMC (clouds) is when ATC is needed the most.

We've investigated ourselves and concluded there was no wrong doing.

One is a job and the other's a mental sickness!
