Same here with Thunderbird but I use these guys; https://Usenet-News.net

They are not free but they have a nice payment system; "A "Block Quota Account", or just "Block Account" instead means a pay-per-gigabyte account with no time limit;"

I do not use it much. I keep the alt.privacy subscription for the occasional jewel.

Thank you for the link!

If you do not have some sort of big problem in relation to suspected ADHD, then it might only help you to know yourself better. ADHD is only a handicap in certain situations.

Please stop scaring me. In 1975, at 4 billions we were not going to be able to feed 8 billions. Now we do. I want to respect the food chain. Let the birds eat the bugs. Let us eat the birds.



I hate acronyms. I hate them even more when I found them in articles with no reference about what they stand for. Just one reference at the beginning of the text would suffice. That should be a rule in writing articles. Without it, it makes it more difficult to learn something new and it makes the whole text losing intellectual integrity.


You are reading a news site run by a Venture Capital company. I feel like you should know what VC means.


He is probably referring to GP and LP, which are not explained in the text. I found that annoying as well.


VC means Venture Capitalist


A little exercise, a little relaxation/meditation will make you feel a lot better.
