Yeah alcohol works well. WD-40. too.

That is kind of just how non hall effect thumb sticks are. But I’ve had great luck with Deoxit D5. You have to take apart the controller so you can squirt it directly into the switch itself but as long as it’s not a mechanical problem like a weak spring, the Deoxit usually gets it working like new.
Perhaps they should start a gofundme or something.
My car insurance went up $1200 this year, which blows my mind. No reason given.
Kind of like jobs. If you stay with the same company for more than a couple years, you’re probably doing yourself a disservice.
Squeeze a third of the bottle into the trash, replace missing portion with Underwood ranches Sriracha, shake well and squirt on anything edible.
Overly simplistic and assuming you are talking about the US: So you spent 80M making a movie but for whatever reason it never makes it out of production, you never see any return on this investment. But overall this year you made 100M from something else. When you do your taxes, you can “write off” this 80M spent as a loss, so you only have to pay taxes on the remaining 20 million. It doesn’t deduct 80M from taxes owed.
Usenet is a decentralized network that works very much like the fediverse here. Anything uploaded to one server gets sent out to all the servers; that’s why you can log onto lemmy.world and see posts made on say lemm.ee. Likewise something posted to one usenet server gets sent out to all the others. And these servers are being operated by individual entities (again, much like lemmy). Whoever owns the server you’re downloading from is having to pay for everything it sends out. Which is why most of the free ones will let you access the text portions but not the file downloads.
A VPN isn’t necessary. But you do need a special program to connect to usenet. It’s built into a lot of older email clients (thunderbird is a good option).
There’s no one single usenet company for the same reason there’s no one single lemmy instance. (I’m sure someone has explained it better somewhere else in this post).
in the era of free services, why do you still have to pay for Usenet access?
Bandwidth costs money. And usenet isn’t collecting and selling your info to recoup those costs like most “free” services. A lot of ISPs do offer free usenet access to customers, albeit somewhat neutered. You can browse the bulletin boards but most of the file downloads are going to be filtered out. That’s the part you have to pay for.
Is it actually illegal? Has anyone in the US ever been charged for selling digital software they had legally acquired?
Authorities used a technique known as encapsulation to destroy the drug, pulverizing the seized blocks with waste before mixing the resulting fine powder with cement, sand and glass.
Someone totally took that home. “We turned that 20 tons of coke into 20 tons of concrete. Job well done pack it up.”
Once they get so crusty they can stand on their own. That’s about 8 hours in shoes, or a week next to the bed.
3rding possible botfly. The wound looks a lot like the one my cat had.

You mean hockey? I also clicked the article wondering how many Stanley cup trophies you could get for $2500.
I enjoy them, especially the surrealist stuff.
It’s under Settings -> Blocks -> then down at the bottom is the block instances option.
You can on instances running .19 or newer. Settings -> Blocks -> then at the bottom is an option for blocking instances.
Ahh, I was not aware of the demonstration clause. Thanks for clearing that up; it sounded like a dumb way to get caught otherwise.
Why skirt the law like this? It’s $500/year for a Class 1 SOT that lets you import and own all the machine guns you want. That sounds much cheaper than getting caught.
For Vickers, the felony conviction means that one of the nation’s leading gun gurus can no longer own or possess firearms. He must forfeit his gun collection to the U.S. government.
Oof, that’s gotta sting.
Edit: corrected below
It’s one of the messier options but it still works well. The switches in my logitech g604 have been bounce free for over a year now after hosing then down with WD-40. That’s longer than any of the warranty replacement mice lasted.
Deoxit leaves a residue, too, that will stain clothes. That residue is what helps the contacts from oxidizing again in the future.
