I'm a subscriber. It's like a customizable RSS feed with a source metric and a built in browser, which makes it nice to just have an exit out of a site completely if their ads are annoying and just go to the next independent source. Their 'Blind Spot' tab helps me find things I don't normally dig for, and the curated feed I have set up for local.

It's a nice service, but the subscription is really only paying for the convenience of being in their ecosystem, and a few good stories that slip past drudge/apnews/aljazeera.

That vendor story was so greasy it reminded me to take a shower.

Those were dark times.

This, Joe Piscapo and Worf's son are the top three cringe in TNG.

It was gorgeous in Fredericksburg, poking through tunnels of clouds throughout the eclipse.

I still listen to Moon Safari on the regular. What an amazing album.

They look at the TTL of the incoming packets. This can be modified in the windows registry.

Called the VA crisis line a while back, talked to a case worker and they told me they'd have someone pick me up. A little while later I get a knock on the door from a city cop with his holster unbuckled there to take me to the psych ward of our local shitty hospital.

Spent three days in what essentially was One Flew Over except my nurse Ratchet was a part time psychiatrist that didn't completely speak English, and was a total dick.

Ended up checking myself out because nothing was being accomplished there beside morning calisthenics. Later that week, I got a bill from the hospital for $1200, and the VA said they wouldn't cover it because I didn't call it in within 72 hours... Even though it was a VA rep that started the process, and it was related to a service-connected injury (PTSD).

This was over ten years ago, but it's comforting to know some things never change.
