The U.S. Navy is Firing Missiles in the Middle East Faster Than They Can be Replaced
The concern is the rate at which SM-3 missiles and other ordnances, including the SM-2 and SM-6, are now being fired. The U.S. is now depleting its stockpiles faster than the missiles can be replaced, and that has raised alarms.Peter Suciu (The National Interest)
The last leg of my "finding a provider" journey... for now
I was kicked off Medicaid at the start of this year and subsequently lost access to my ADHD and depression medication. In February, I moved to a new area and got a new job, but had to wait several months until I qualified for health insurance through it.
After that point, I had to wait for a weekday when I wasn't working and when I had the mental capacity to tolerate back-to-back disappointing phone calls... all without medication that would make the process significantly easier to tolerate. These are only the calls I've made today.
Finally, FINALLY, I have an intake appointment scheduled.
It's absolutely shameful how much a struggling person is expected to do in order to access basic mental health care.

Yup. They went full OG AdBlock and got WaPo and other major publications to prevent them from working.
You can mimic what they did by adding the Google Crawler user agent to your browser but I just use archive.is
Yeah, unfortunately 12ft.io didn't keep up with the paywall arms race. It's too bad because it was one of those things that a lot of people knew about, many of whom may now just give up when it doesn't work even though there are other options out there.
As one example, there's now also the 13ft ladder: github.com/wasi-master/13ft It's like 12ft but self hosted. Sounds really good but I can't vouch for it yet.
I mostly would just archive a paywallrd page with archive.is (aka archive.today, archive.ph, etc.) and that worked great and also helped take traffic away from asshole sites that paywall content. Unfortunately, archive started requiring a cloud flare captcha when archiving a page. This is a deal breaker for me since captcha totally deanonymizes you and is used for tracking purposes and even to train AI. So it defeats a good chunk of the purpose of using an archive site.
Still, there's a good chance that someone else already archived the page you want to see, so putting the url in archive.is search can be enough to bypass the paywall.
I have been using inspect element to manually remove ads and other annoying things
Thanks for reminding me that i can just use useblock origin!
Yeah the article stub doesn't link to the article. It links to a login flow with the article id. If you go directly to the article you get redirected if you don't have a session.
It's incredibly easy to make an impossible to get around paywall. Porn has done it since the Internet existed.
In this very particular situation I'm glad most companies are lazy and stupid.
I don't particularly care if a company does pay only content. I think its legitimately ok. I hate companies that don't make you pay enough for the service to cover their costs thus leading to complete enshitifaction.

Sure, but the easily-bypassed js method makes sure it’s still crawlable by search engines, which is a trade well worth making where I work. Doesn’t matter as much for porn sites since the title and description aren’t the content most people are there for, so you can expose them on the paywall page.
Very true. I don't disagree at all. I think once google finally becomes totally useless. It won't matter.
I mean Google is already just Yellow Pages AdWords edition with AI content
If you insert yourself as a side of a war and also imply that people doing this should be on the front lines, then apparently you are?
And I don't.
Brave browser has a filter to bypass paywalls. Works on desktop and mobile versions. Definitely works on NYT as I just read something there today. And of course has built in adblock. You can also add additional filters and adblock lists.
Bonus: print to PDF in Brave to share an article with someone else. It retains all the graphics relevant to the article and cuts all the junk and ads out too.
If you just want to be aware, you could often read the headlines for free or follow news sites like Reuters, AFP, or AP.
They are primarily wire news companies and are a great way to get reliable, truthful and often free news.
If you want to read longer articles, you should pay if you want to have articles to read in the future.

Many sites don't work like that and don't even load the content from the server before the paywall check.
But I have a trick that work 100% of the time. Just don't read those sites.
I get that journalism and entertainment magazines have workers and need to be paid BUT:
They were getting paid when I could pay a cheap physical newspaper if I want to read it and usually had those for free anyway. As you'll get newspapers on most public places and one single newspaper would serve a whole family. In my house we didn't really paid more than 4€ a month and got physical things that you could just keep. Now with digital distribution you own nothing and it is far more expensive. So... No. Also they get a ton of public money through institutional advertisement, so I'm already basically paying for them without getting access to their content.
So unless they are willing to change their model I'll just refuse to read them. I'm happier without their clickbaits anyway.
So unless they are willing to change their model I’ll just refuse to live.
Wait what
Saddest typo ever.
I just won't tell this to my psychologist, just in case.
Are you also aware how few have a newspaper subscription or buy them at a stand?
Yeah, sure, keep reading your "free" news. Just remember to ask yourself who do you think is paying for it and why.
Ad companies with biases and normies/boomers who pay for it without any second guess.
In case anyone wanted to know.
do not right click inspect element on the paywall window and then delete the code & re-enable scrolling (i always forget how to, but don't google it)
the downside is that sometimes half the article is neutered anyway
Wow, I feel like the most upvoted solutions here don't work, and meanwhile some obvious and widely known alternatives are being completely overlooked.
❌ Inspect Element - many modern sites don't even include the full article in the paywalled html, so this wouldn't work. Also sitting there and mousing over elements and deleting them one by one, is tedious, it's easy to accidentally delete an element that encloses the content you intended to keep, or to drive yourself crazy trying to figure out how elements are nested.
❌ Ublock Zapper - a similar to the above, won't work on stub articles, and just janky because you're manually zapping things
❌ Disabled JavaScript - Similar to the above, same problem because many articles are stubs anyway. And the HTML layers that block your view don't have to be done with JavaScript.
❌ Rapid copy and paste of the article to notepad or rapidly printing the screen - similar problem to the above, lots of places just post the stub of an article, and besides nobody should live their life this way rapidly trying to print screen or copy everything. If you're trying to do a quick copy you're going to grab all kinds of gobbledygunk from the page and probably have to manually filter it out.
❌ Reader Mode - Your browsers reader mode will be hit and miss because, again, many sites post stub articles, and it's possible the pay wall stuff will just get formatted into the reader mode along with an incomplete article.
✅ Archive.is - works!
✅ Pocket and Instapaper - amazingly, nobody has mentioned these even though they're probably the longest running (dating back to 2007-2008), possibly most widely known, and most consistent solutions that still work to this day. They keep their own local caches of articles, so it's not depending on the full content being visible on the page.
✅ Other dedicated extensions - Dedicated browser extensions seem to work, but be careful what you're signing yourself up for.
🤷♀️ Brave - It works, but, it's a Chromium supported browser, so ultimately Google controls the destiny and can drive Chromium to incorporate fundamental frameworks supporting DRM and pushing their preferred web standards.

I love that part of the internet.
Kinda like "guy code"
"Was said he was with you last night"
"Yep, all night. Cleaned the spark plugs in my car and drained the blinker fluid. Couldn't have done it without him "
But instead it's "parent code"
"Yeah fortnight is closed. They close it so everyone can get a good night's sleep and be ready for the morning!"
I was going to tell a personal story about telling my son McDonald's was closed when I was broke or in a hurry but it reminded me of another cute store.
My son broke his arm in a McDonald's once. Hyper extended his elbow. Got a couple pins.
Anyway a year or so later they completely remodeled that McDonald's.
We drove by the demolished building during the remodel and my son shouted "that's what you get for breaking my arm! Who's broken now!"
Adorable vengeance served adorably cold.
Sure wink and oddly enough spark plug cleaner smells a lot like perfume wink
I got you bro.
This reminds me when my mom told my dad Netflix didn't serve their area because she didn't want another bill.
He told me that and I was like "Well..." and my mom just yelled from the other room "I JUST CALLED THEY'RE TRYING FOR NEXT YEAR." so I shut up.
This is why we trust but verify. Thanks mom for teaching me that cruel lesson of unplugging the phone cord to get me to bed (dial up days). It lasted about a week before I caught on you always came up from the basement before bed.
I'm so glad you never noticed I swapped my line with the guest bedroom. Also glad that ancient block in the basement could be hand wired.
That's "parent" not "adult"
I with no kids at home have excellent sleep
Teens are the ones (after new mothers) who suffer the most, with natural sleep cycles starting around midnight or in the early morning and wake times in the late morning or early afternoon, but school schedules that force them to be active at school from 9am
My sister got told off regularly for reading after lights out
As adults my mother told me that after they found books for me I liked they pretended to never notice the light leaking through my doona, they were just happy to see I was reading
Easiest way to do this: Turn the modem off after bed time (you will also lose internet)
Most expensive but still easy way to do this: Buy a "smart router" with time-based parental controls (lets you use the internet at night).
Nerd way to do this: Pihole with a script that enables and disables certain blocklists at certain times (free and open source, because fuck "smart" products)
Yeah, but as a true nerd i wont be using my old pi 3 to do that.
The poor bastard is strugling to keep home assintant alive. Better buy a new router WRT compatible.
