Yeah that thread did seem fishy thanks ill give em a shot!

couple things:

• generally the rules prevent torrents from becoming incomplete
• usually theres a request system, which can be very useful for old or obscure stuff.
• usually much faster for all but the most popular stuff
• way more timely and consistent. Less problems where it takes a few days after a release for it to show up or for a series to stop being uploaded half way through a season.
• less chance of honeypots or other malicious behaviour (you should still use a VPN though obviously)
• more consistent quality and naming enforcement (which means it usually works better with *arr)

I can’t vouch for this particular tracker but in general (free) private trackers are very nice.

I looked up some reviews for the tracker and reddit was shitting all over it, claiming it’s pretty pay to use and the admins are tyrants. Can anyone share their experience?

Where I live you can either use those cornstarch types or paper bags (very similar to yard waste bags). I like the paper bag for the big bin that goes in the roadside, but cornstarch ones for the one in the kitchen that only sticks around a day or two. Perhaps raise the idea with your local council.

I prefer curbside system because it is able to accept many things that my at home compost can’t handle like dog shit, meats and those biodegradable “plastics” that need industrial facilities. Also apartments.

Out of 10 pro abortion state measures 7 passed (one still undecided i think), and only 1 anti abortion measure passed.

Form an in person community. Focus on fun, then slowly start integrating shared political activism. Use the experience from this to enter local government.

I don’t think you can start with prison reform.

You can’t rehabilitate someone who is stealing out of necessity or because they are mentally unwell. Have to start with providing UBI and universal Healthcare (including and especially mental health and addiction rehab). Probably also should solve homelessness and provide cheap educational options too.

Once that’s in start improving prisons, make them not slums, provide some ways to keep up with the times (an excon with no concept of the internet is not going to be functional in today’s society) and provide job programs and some way of protecting excons from excessive discrimination. The number one metric to measure the success of a prison should be the recitivism rate.

Now maybe after all this is done there’s a few people who cannot be classified as insane and are deadset on committing violent crimes. I will point out that a lot of organized crime would fall apart when there isn’t a fresh supply of disenfranchised people to exploit at the bottom and a lot of white collar crime does not need full exclusion from society more than exclusion from the system they were exploiting.thise few remaining murders and terrorists can go be in prison.

Tldr: to fix prisons you must first fix society.

It has a real ending, Season 3 ends in away that would make if difficult (but not impossible) to continue the show.

I really enjoyed “Travellers” a 3 season showcase/Netflix time travel show where time travellers possess the bodies of people right before they are going to die and try to stop the apocalypse.

I have an unusually wide neck. Shirts, especially dress shirts won’t fit both my neck and my arm length without tailoring. NGL not having to wear dress clothes was a a part of why I choose to do a computer science major and not a regular math major.

For my Wife the answer was medication because she has ADHD.

I hesitate to share my own strategy it was very effective for me, but I don’t know if it’s for everyone. What I found worked well for me was to integrate video games into my study routine. I would play CSGO, when you die in CSGO you are dead until the end of the round, and queue times are ~5-10min. Anytime I wasn’t directly paying in the game I would study, and I would play very aggressively so I would be more likely to die early. After a game I would take a 20min study break then reenter the queue and study until the game started. It’s not the most time efficient, but it didn’t feel like work for me like that so I could do it all night. great for easy but long tasks.

Sometimes I would also play single player games on a slow harddrive and play during the loading but that is probably not as effective as it once was.

I didn’t see any until I made my front yard a designated butterfly spot ( making i don’t have to follow by laws about lawn maintenance) now I see tons.

Our whole universe was in a hot, dense state Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started, wait The earth began to cool, the autotrophs began to drool Neanderthals developed tools We built a wall (we built the pyramids)

Make a plaster mould of the exact shape of the inside of the handle so it’s really annoying to take out

Does it?

user A uses their full bandwidth from 2am-4am when the network is empty then watches a 720p video at 5pm (or whenever the networks peak is).

User B watches an 8k video at 5pm and nothing at any other time.

UserB clearly contributes to congestion on the network more than user A despite user A using more data. Furthermore throttling user A does less to resolve the congestion than throttling user B.

IMO If the network needs to throttle then the people the most data at that instant in time need to be throttled and the network needs to start upgrading its infrastructure or amending its marketing materials.

Really the current internet model is a little weird, it should be pay to use with on and off peak hours the same as other utilities, and throttling should be seen as a major failure that needs immediate attention.

Outer wilds felt really good to play, optimistic nihilism and a happy lonliness. One moment that really stood out to me was when I followed a certain object out of the solar system, spent pretty much 20minutes drifting in space listening to the other astronauts play together planets apart and watching the stars

It’s one of the most peaceful times I’ve had with a game, and playing it in the middle of covid I cried happy tears. Go in as blind as you can.

I quite like influencer I think it’s good that they are called what they are being paid to do and not trying to hide. It’s surprising honestly from a very dishonest industry.

It’s pretty hard to be open and transparent when 2 men with guns and black suits are sitting at your kitchen table.

We don’t know if that happened, but given the speed this happened and the us being the us…

If it breaks that they had a long runway of knowing this had to happen, then sure bring out the pitchforks, but imo we should default to this happening under heavy pressure to act immediately.

This article is very repetitive, but they never mention what the activists allegedly tried to do. Without that information or any charges laid it’s pretty much useless information.

Spotify is trying this with their audiobook subscription service.
