Nobody today is not coming to my house. However the world has not always changed in ways I like. If the media companies want to make an example of somebody they might randomly pick me. If I have physical media they will not be able to convince the general public I'm a dishonest thief and so even though I might be legally in the wrong for ripping DVDs they will stay away: they are going to look for someone who they can make look like a dishonest thief in the court of public opinion. They are not looking to take me to court and win whatever damaged they are owned from my activity (it will cost them about 100 times as much $$$ in lawyers fees - they would probably win but it isn't worth it), what they would be looking for is to make an example in the news about how much someone loses and if I have physical media they instead look like jerks for enforcing a law on something that the generally public wouldn't even call a crime.

I store the discs because while ripping is of questional legallity by having the discs I have the morals right.
firefox works great. You don't need an app for everything.
Peertube exists. Use it.
now I will admit that peertube is lacking content, but when you make something put it there. When you want something search there first and check out youtube last. This rewards those who publish there with your eyeballs
if she will go for it get a 100 pack of rubber or silicon rings (dollor store) they look nice from the distance strangers should look and no worry about lost rings and no safety worries.
true, but you still have to ask only for relakant qualifications. The law isn't as clear but you still have a case in court.
Wow, I'd expect it to last longer than that, even a cheap one. You might want some weter treatment, get the water tested to see if it is destroying parts.
If the valve (as opposed to flap) is gone that far, then a good modern water savings toilet isn't that expensive and will probably flush better than the old one (good is key - there are many cheap toilets that don't flush well!). Consider replacing the whole toilet instead. You can also get a toilet style you like (I personally hate high toilets, but some prefer them). I strongly recommend a bidet while you are doing this as well.
I won't say you should always replace the toilet vs just the valve, but it is something to consider - the effort is similar and the cost isn't that much more. So if there is any reason to replace the toilet do it.
Step one, get an accountant, and lawyer. Things will get complex, and mistakes can result in spending more than you have which isn't the goal. Thus an accountant to watch those numbers and keep me in the black. The big issue is taxes need to be paid so there needs to be enough left over to do that along with pay the accountant, but there will also be weird legal issues that come up.
Second, the money goes to charity. How it gets there will be tricky though.
The IRS looks at large donations and starts to assume I'm trying to dodge taxes by hiring a charity for something I'd do anyway - so my accountant will work with them to figure out what donation levels work for each that I care about. There are also some causes that I consider charity that do not meet the legal definition (often because they are political) and so the donation to them is still taxable (not that I'm trying to dodge taxes, but I'll take advantage of anything that will help causes I care about)
I will set aside some money as a fund for me. However I'll only allow myself to withdraw from it as payment for work done for charity. projects like KDE or FreeBSD can always use more help. There is a summer camp I'll volunteer for once in a while. Habitat for Humanity needs help... The important part is I need to put in 35 hours a week or I don't get money from the fund (I will allow 2 months of vacation and that summer camp will get 80 hours/week when in session which I will bank for more vacation). The important part here is I need to stay busy - doctors tell me sitting around doing nothing when you retire is deadly so I'm not going to do that.
Likely a lot of money will remain after I'm dead, so a trust fund will remain. However the instructions will be to drain the money as fast as possible. I know of several funds remaining from people who died 100+ years ago and the fund is now doing things I'm sure the original would oppose.
Many cities try that. However it is very hard to pull that off when you have two way traffic, and busy cross streets make it worth. Two way traffic often means one direction has no cars, but the other does because the distance between lights is not something in control of the traffic engineers. And cross traffic means you need to handle the whole grid at once.
The exceptions you list make sense. However in the general sense if someone requires a drivers license and you are not operating equipment you likely have a law suite against them for unreasonable requirements.
Shotguns have a useful range of about 50 meters while these are short range, is that long enough?
