I bought my Technics Direct-drive turntable Model SL-Q20 in 1981 or 1982, still working like a champ.

It’s one of my favorites

My health insurance changed in April, I’m now buying my insulin out of pocket and my experience is to use the GoodRx app to find it cheaper, I found it for $27.43 per vial at a pharmacy closer to me than my former big name pharmacy. Bernie should get the GoodRx app, it will help him save money

This reminded me of the old song by Jennifer Charles and Lovage “Stoker Ace” https://youtu.be/I6opOz3Y9-w

Stroke that shiny coat Stroking is the antidote

Yep, I’ve pirated so much that my whole crew all refer to me as Captain Jack Sparrow. My MO is to fire a warning shot over the bow of every movie studio and if they don’t quickly capitulate, I’ll raise the Jolly Roger and take them by force. That’s the only true pirate’s modus operandi.

Another issue which is connected to labeling users “pirates” is the data caps and bandwidth throttling by mobile carriers and ISPs. Users make agreements with carriers for data and bandwidth for x.x price, but YouTube “steals” data limits and bandwidth by ads. Shouldn’t we expect them to pay us for our lost bandwidth and data caps?

It can’t be a one way street for a corporation to label users as unethical reprobates or “pirates” while he steals my paid for data limits and bandwidth.

I won’t use the term “piracy”. Just because the man says “up is down” doesn’t make it so. Piracy, historically is using threat of force and/or harm to force capitulation. In history past, pirates would fire across the bow to allow the target to choose to fight/flee or capitulate and pay the pirates, which is extortion. Technically, ransomware hackers are, by the historical definition, the true pirates. Individuals watching videos without ads is, by definition, individuals watching videos without ads.
