Not an answer to your question, but in the 80s/early 90s my grandmother used to tape movies off the tv, I believe she actually copied VCR to VCR so she could make a copy without commercials. She’d then cut out the description from the TV Guide, and scotch tape it to the top of the video cassette tape.

Yeah. My grandfather (former electrician and electrical inspector) had a specific outlet he’d plug a gas generator in to back feed power into the house. This was in the 80s and 90s.

He also pointed out that he turned the main off so it did not back feed into the grid and power lines that a lineman is expecting to not be live.

I do this with my domain and it works great.
Only negative I’ve had is that people with a similar name have ended up signing up for things and misspelling theirs with it ending up on mine.

Oh we know what is going on already. The court has been stacked in a way that usually favors corporate and authoritarian interests, with justices frequently receiving gifts that aren’t always disclosed.

Yes all those people draining billions every year giving nothing any keeping the money.

You’re taking about corporate welfare too, right?

In education there are self-directed learning centers that follow agile principles with some of the features of SCRUM.

A former roommate of mine had a DVD he had gotten from a friend who got it from a film festival. I believe it was Dreamscape but I haven't been able to find a copy to confirm this actually it.
