We should do more than block them, they need to be teergrubed.

So they should switch to element.io, or host their own forum thingie on a VPS somewhere. Why is Discord essential? (Hint: it's not)

You spread misinformation, [email protected]. Anyone who cares to do so can verify the info I give below.

Snowden stated from the start that he originally intended to go from Hong Kong to Ecuador, who had promised him asylum. He intentionally gave away all copies of his data, destroying his own, to the journalists who had met him in Hong Kong to evaluate his leaks (verify sources before believing those who claim 'he leaked info to Russia'). He fully intended to be 'clean' if he were interdicted on his way out of Hong Kong.

The US illegally (violating international law! It is illegal for a nation to render their own citizen stateless while abroad) revoked his US passport as he flew to Russia, which he meant to be a temporary stop only to obtain passage on a flight to Ecuador as Ecuadorian officials were to be there in order to receive him.

The President of Ecuador's own Presidential Plane, with the Ecuadorian President onboard was forcibly grounded over EU airspace, by fighter jets, at the USA's behest, on suspicioun that Snowden might be aboard. Snowden was trapped in a Russian airport, against his will, with no valid passport, essentially rendered Stateless -- again, a violation of international law perpetrated by the USA against one of its own citizens.

Imagine the USA's response if Airforce One were forcibly grounded to a foreign airport, by foreign fighter-jets, at the behest of another country.

Oh yes, fruit! I should have included that of course. Some peaches or berries are so good with Muesli.

It's great stirred into plain or vanilla yoghurt for breakfast. I think that's in fact the "traditional European" way it's eaten?

Or at least at nearly every Bed & Breakfast in western Canada that tries to be "Victorian" :)

I sincerely hope people are organizing to back this all up -- datahoarders unite! These days it's affordable to dedicate an 8TB disk to back up as much of these as possible.. anyone have any tips on bulk-downloading the individual 78s from archive.org?


Edit: I found this tool, get archiving, people

https://github.com/jjjake/internetarchive

Example:

ia download -a -i --format="VBR MP3" --search collection:georgeblood


EDIT #2: I've submitted a patch adding options to specify start and end item indices, so one can more easily download parts of a collection and resume later -- or coordinate with others so each can download non-overlapping parts of a huge collection, and put them together later. See this PR

Think about the ecological waste of these things going into the landfill when they could last 2-3x longer if they were just designed a bit better.

 

Marked NSFW just in case :)
