What does the pluribus once the unum proves deaf?

Fun fact, facebook was originally only for college students, requiring an email address that ended in ".edu"...

Then our parents showed up on facebook, and we noped out. Then facebook sold all of our parents' facebook data to Donald Trump. Then Donald Trump parroted our parents' facebook data back at them through Twitter. Then our parents' thought, "Hey he really gets us"....

We should not have noped out.

I'd be willing to bet his entire administration is run by an AI chatbot.

Wait til you hear about radio astronomy:

The brightest discrete radio source is the Sun (Figure 1.10), but the Sun is much less dominant than it is in visible light. The radio sky is dark even when the Sun is up because atmospheric molecules and dust particles don’t scatter radio waves whose wavelengths are much larger than these particles. Most radio observations can be made day or night. Clouds are also nearly transparent at wavelengths λ>2λ>2 cm, so long-wavelength radio observations can be made even when the sky is overcast.

No, smoking cocaine (aka cocaine hydrochloride) does not do much unless you first chemically "free the base" (aka crack cocaine).

First, unless you redistribute the video (esp. for profit), you should have nothing to worry about.

Now, for the educational portion of our program:

Unless your ISP censors internet traffic, it is absolutely possible to pirate without a VPN. Barring censorship, your ISP usually doesn't give two shits about what your traffic is as long as your bill is paid. Those letters they send are in response to a lawyer notifying them that an IP address was found to be distributing copyrighted material.

Companies obtain these IP addresses by "pirating" their own material and recording the IP addresses of any seeders they find. If this IP address belongs to a VPN service that doesn't keep logs, they cannot be in possession of said material. Additionally, they have no way of knowing what traffic went to which customer after the fact. So, any letters sent by lawyers to the VPN service are pointless. Which is why, if you have a good VPN, they can't trace it back to you.
