Same. We even had a music store in the UK, called Music Zone, this place would let you buy a CD and if you didn’t like it you could return it and get a refund and then rinse and repeat.

As for parents. Mine had no clue what I was doing on the computer, but even when they learned due to all the people coming to the door, they were pretty chill.

It got bad when our ISP would charge us for excessive downloads.

Yes it truly baffles me how we have fostered this society.

I was listening to Gary from Gary’s Economics on the Diary of a CEO and he was tearing into the hosts on that show. What struck me is that Daniel, the host, seemed to have this simplistic view that if you want more money become an entrepreneur. Kind of glossing over the fact most people don’t want that, they want to earn enough money doing regular work. Then I don’t think he has even considered what the world would look like with Doctors, Trash Collectors, etc if everybody becomes an entrepreneur.

Then the owner will of the show Stephen shared a story about his mate who got rich and left the UK cause of the taxes. And again I can’t comprehend getting rich in a country and then leaving cause they want me to pay my fair share. I am happy to pay tax for the greater good, I just wish everybody paid their fair share.

I agree. In the end I had to get the doctors to put a note on my account that said whatever i said don’t give me opiates.

If I recall when I was prescribed that amount he was going to give me 60 but asked if I paid for my prescription and as I said yes he doubled the dose. I guess to try save me money. Which is ironic cause I spend a fortune on the darkweb.

I’ve got another operation booked soon and I am worried they will prescribe me again.

Yeah it was sold a few years ago to a couple of brothers who made their money in petrol forecourts.

Interesting it’s people like this I really don’t understand. Like if I had a fraction of the money to be able to buy Asda, I’m going to retire and enjoy my hobbies. I don’t get how you would want to make more money.

Tesco can fuck off though. Price increases during the pandemic and the profits when up way more than that, indicating greed.

They also force you to have a club card otherwise pretty much every item in the store costs more money.

Edit: Also, why isn’t Asda on this list? It’s owned by a couple of brothers from the UK now. Not that it’s any better than Tesco.

Cold water extraction

Why shhhhh?

From the UK, had an operation and got given 10 codeine phosphate 30mg. Then went to the doctor who gave me 120 more. I was then hooked and went through a stage of CWE (Cold water extraction) with over the counter ones. Then the darkweb and eventually Xanax.

Thanks. I went for a used Grade A from the site the other person recommended, Robert’s Electronics, the reviews seemed decent it they give 5 years warranty. £118

I just need to get 4 for my initial goal but heard it’s better to spread them out for failures. Plus it’s easier on the wallet to spread them out 😂

Thanks this looks ok and reasonably priced. It does say ships from Singapore but it’s free shipping.

This is what annoys me about how trash search is these days. I’ve been searching for HHDs for days and not seen anything but the same few dozen sites.

Same when using Amazon, not to buy from but as a listing, and you put 10TB and you’ll see a few sponsored for 6TB. Like I don’t fucking want a 6TB else I woulda searched that.

I decided to go with Cloudflare. Thanks for the rec.

This is very helpful. Thanks.

Great. Thanks for this as I can now look for ones that has that option.

This has the most upvotes so far so checked it out first.

I’m at the basket stage but don’t see an option to not add my details to the public database like I did on names.co.uk. Do you know if that’s an option.

I wonder why we have to have registrars or to put it better I wonder why a person can’t buy a domain for life and own it.

Registrar. That’s the term. Thanks.

I’ll check out their pricing.

Do you know if they still have to share you details as who owns the domain? Not that I’m up to anything sinister, just will be for a home server but still nice for anonymity and places like names.co.uk charge more for hiding those details.

I really do hope we hear from him. I find it nice that he has communicated with so many of us in this thread and I hope he learns that people are a little concerned.

This looks like they provide hosting services?

I believe a domain name provider are the folk that sell domain names.

That’s a good point I used to see him all the time and chatted with him some.

Last I spoke, in public comments in here, he had completed his move to the UK (where I live too) so perhaps he’s just been busy with all the changes.

Edit: Good on you for asking.

Yes, but that’s not really why they removed him.

Plenty of horrible people ruling countries that America has no interest in removing as it doesn’t suit their needs.
