  • U.S. fully bans asbestos, which kills 40,000 a year

    Jump

  • This is correct. The only thing that is regulated is the disposal (at least in WA) - otherwise home owners are legally allowed to remove it themselves as they see fit. Not that I recommend it if you don't know what you're doing, but you won't get a fine.

    Source: am homeowner who (with saftey precautions such as a tent of 3 mil plastic, negative airflow, HEPA shopvac, soap and water, and a proper respirator) removed asbestos tape from my duct work.

  • DMCA takedown requests - how responsive?

  • It's understandable, sure. It's also a little more complex up front. For me personally, the pros outweigh the cons and I'd much rather use Usenet over torrenting, even with the cost.

    I definitely think it's DMCA, unfortunately.

  • For indexers, I have DrunkenSlug, nzbgeek, and nzbplanet. My backbone providers are UsenetExpress, FrugalUsenet, and Giganews. You can use https://whatsmyuse.net to make sure you don't have overlapping backbones.

  • The main benefit is that you don't need to use a VPN, so you get full download speeds. Also the availability and download speed isn't dependent on seeders, so more obscure content tends to survive longer on Usenet.

  • DMCA takedown requests - how responsive?

    Jump

  • That's not the problem here unfortunately. This is usually a complete take down on the server side, and has nothing to do with their location.

  • DMCA takedown requests - how responsive?

    Jump

  • Usenet, while way better than torrenting, still requires multiple indexers and providers for this reason. I have 3 of each and rarely ever run into this issue except for very niche releases.

  • That's not specific (or true) though, there are plenty of active niche communities, especially those for localities. Which communities would you like to be more active?

  • Really happy this is the focus of our highest chambers of government and not passing actual regulations for all social media companies, or you know, giving citizens healthcare.

  • China could use TikTok to influence US elections, spy chief says

  • I've got bad news for you, the CCP is happy to use American social media to manipulate the populous, it doesn't matter if it's US owned or not.

  • China could use TikTok to influence US elections, spy chief says

  • Do you think that wealthy citizens can't be bought off by hostile foreign governments? Neither is better - we need actual regulation rather than worrying about a single company.

  • China could use TikTok to influence US elections, spy chief says

    Jump

  • You're gunna turn into dust by the time the government regulates Meta. The only reason they care about TikTok so much is optics and the fact that a foreign company is abusing the system in the same way as the domestic social media companies. The fix isn't to divest ByteDance, the fix is to pass actual regulation with teeth that applies to domestic and foreign companies alike.

  • What Happened When a Man Got 217 COVID-19 Vaccines

    Jump

  • The researchers concluded that overall, while the man's excessive vaccination history increased his antibody levels and apparently protected him from infection, hyper-activating his immune system did not seem to have a negative effect on his ability to mount an adequate response. At the same time, his extreme measures did not seem to afford him a level of super-immunity that distinguished his response dramatically from others who followed the recommended vaccination schedule. “His immune system was neither positively nor negatively affected," says Schober.
