It can actually work, you just have to be good at picking a matchup and have a bit of luck. See for example the cactoblastis moth vs Australia’s prickly pear infestation.

Pity that its very easy to get wrong and you’re more likely to end up with a cane toad or Indian mynah situation.

With an audio track I feel like a well timed bleep can actually make a scene funnier. Doesn’t work as well if you’re trying to play it serious though.

When it comes to text censoring isn’t worth it IMO, at least the type where you blank out part of the word or use a derivative. Everyone can still tell what word you meant so if it was important enough to include then use the actual word. If it wasn’t that important then you don’t need to write the word you’re worried about in the first place - there are other words that can be used for insults or emphasis.

I paid $12 (USD) for a .in and $32 for a .nu with Namecheap, $20 (AUD) for a .au and $59 for a .email with VentraIP.

I can’t really recommend Namecheap though because you can’t count on getting support if you need it. A couple of years back I needed to change my account email with them due to Google being an arse and locking me out of my primary gmail account (namecheap required an email code to log in to the domain dashboard but I couldn’t view the email), put a support ticket in while logged into the same account in their support portal and they ignored me for close on a month. At that point I managed to get back into the gmail account so didn’t need their help anymore, I sent Namecheap back a message saying I was unhappy with their lack of help. About six months later they sent their one and only reply to my ticket, basically saying they were sorry I was unhappy but they didn’t see a problem with the time they took.

I must admit I still have domains with Namecheap because sometimes it’s just hard to get around to changing things, but I was reminded of their lack of competence literally this morning. They sent me an email saying I needed to update my domain contact info so I logged in and went to change it only to find their contact update form is broken and won’t submit…

VentraIP hasn’t given me any issues so far with either their domain or email hosting but I haven’t had to rely on their support so I can’t say how good they are with that.
