I use Scaleway to host a personal Nextcloud [1] instance. I haven't had any issues with them thus far and their instances are pretty darn cheap.

Some people do, I believe generally the most acceptable (and humane) method is to spike the brain of the lobster before boiling it.

Yeah and it turned out that they were delusional and people just wanted caviar to eat it

>Most of the men were buying female paddlefish, processing knockoff caviar and just … eating it. Illegal, yes. But the plot of a Russian mafia thriller? Hardly.

>If the government did not realize its miscalculation, at least some officers must have on March 13, 2013, at 7 a.m. Central time, when 125 state and federal agents descended on poachers across four time zones to make arrests.

>During an interrogation, one poacher was confused. The caviar was for his family to give guests when they came over.

>“Why would I want to sell it?” he asked.

>“To make money,” an agent suggested.

>“Heck, no!”

>Of the 112 defendants tagged with state or federal violations, investigators observed only Petr Babenko, the owner of a gourmet store in Vineland, New Jersey, intending to sell the stuff. He was prosecuted, convicted, and given probation. The government seized his Mercedes van.

>To Hitchings, it doesn’t matter. Other men were undoubtedly selling, he said

>like lobster going from "inedible" to haut cuisine due to scarcity.

Lobster didn't go from inedible to highly desirable because of scarcity. It's because we learned that when you kill the lobster and let it sit around for days it very quickly decomposes and releases ammonia, which tends to taste like cat piss. If you cook it immediately after killing it it actually tastes good.

I asked myself this a while back when I was feeding my tarantulas their weekly crickets and from my brief searches it seems like there isn't a general consensus on if inverts do or do not feel pain, but most people lean towards no. One big indicator for this was the fact that various insects have been observed to not react or notice at all when they are being eaten. I've anecdotal observed this myself sometimes where crickets do not seem to realize they are currently being eaten by a giant tarantula.

It's easy to understand when you realize they aren't throwing you in jail to protect you, it's to make money off of you.

In this case climate change denial and conspiracy theories are a mainstream opposition.

From TFA:

>The stuff sinks to the seafloor and wreaks havoc on ecosystems, cratering oxygen levels and spiking salt content.

>Because this stuff is denser than typical seawater, it sinks to the seafloor and disrupts vibrant communities of life, which find themselves wanting far less salt and far more oxygen.

>But brine is more than just hypersaline water—it can be loaded with heavy metals and chemicals that keep the feedwater from gunking up the complicated and expensive facility. “The antifoulants used in the process, particularly in the pretreatment process of the source water, accumulate and discharge to the environment in concentrations that can potentially have damaging effects on the ecosystems,” says Jones.

>Back in 2015, though, GitHub was still an up-and-coming, independent company whose success came from making it considerably easier for other people to create computer software.

GitHub was an "up-and-coming" company just three years ago in 2015? They were founded in 2008 and immediately exploded in popularity. I can't take the rest of the article seriously after reading just three paragraphs.

My favorite example:

>In one case, West claimed to have matched the bite marks in a half-eaten bologna sandwich to the defendant. The jury convicted. (The conviction was overturned on appeal when defense lawyers discovered that the autopsy report recorded a partial bologna sandwich in the stomach of the victim.)

They did not use data from guitar tabs:

>Guitar tab websites have tons of information about the chord progressions that songs use, but the quality is not very high.

>So, over the past 2 years we’ve been slowly and painstakingly building up a database of songs taken mainly from the billboard 100 and analyzing them 1 at a time.

>A satellite constellation is a group of artificial satellites working in concert. Such a constellation can be considered to be a number of satellites with coordinated ground coverage, operating together under shared control, synchronized so that they overlap well in coverage, the period in which a satellite or other spacecraft is visible above the local horizon.

Many people can't with regards to ISPs. I only have one provider that goes to my address.

From TFA:

>The Exos 16 TB hard drive using HAMR technology is now the world’s biggest HDD in terms of capacity overtaking the 14 TB Barracuda Pro.

>HAMR, which is the acronym for heat-assisted magnetic recording, to be precise. This replaces the regular PMR, perpendicular magnetic recording, found in most HDDs. To the average consumer, this doesn’t mean much at all. However, Seagate believes that HAMR is the key to making significantly larger capacities readily available shortly.

I agree that it sounds uncomfortable for a child to make just a permanent life-changing decision like that, but the counter point is that transitioning is significantly easier on the body and mind before puberty happens.

>Police say Best was found "unresponsive" near the garage door exit of an apartment building

A non-conspiracy possibility is he used the garage door to commit suicide, and the bouncing door is what caused the blunt force injuries

Do they actually know that though?

>From their perspective, they are defending their land and people from invaders.

In this case that is what it looks like from my perspective as well

>those claims demonstrate the ignorance of the left regarding how right-leaning voters (who are overwhelmingly pro-israel due to their religious beliefs) think

Those right-leaning voters are not pro-Israel because they like jews, they believe that if jews return to Israel it will bring about the apocalypse and they will be saved [1]

That isn't enough information, what is the cost of living?

Strange that this guy's business was bankrupted by the anti-competitive practices of the company he loves so much yet he doesn't seem to be that upset about it.

Those people should feel hurt by the managers not paying them enough not customers who chose not to pity pay them

Does this mean companies with no women on their board need to fire a current board member on the sole basis of their gender? Isn't that discrimination based on a protected class?

Constitutional crisis is an appropriate term for the UK, it has happened twice before:

>Doc slipped his finger up my bum

Is this a standard way to diagnose appendicitis?

Unless they can verify it some other way, I highly doubt any reputable journalist would publish something like that. When a journalists publishes something based on a source that wishes to stay anonymous they are putting their career and reputation on the line.

Aren't they supposed to be judging whether the prosecution has presented enough evidence for there to be no reasonable doubt that the defendant did commit the crime?

I wouldn't call the Inca Empire a "tiny fiefdom", at its height they had 10 million citizens and covered 2 million km2

The Inca Civilization had no money was was pretty darn successful

>Communism is a society without money, no such thing existed on a state level anywhere.

While it might not be something you can compare to communism, the Inca Civilization had a centrally planned economy with no form of money at all and was HUGELY successful [1]
