No one should be basing their “how to do it right” on a single forum comment. Talk about scope-creep for the offering of advice.

“… and God said, let us make man in our own image.”

Maybe, but starting with sanctified ground is planning to fail. I pity the necromancer whose army or love or whatever is burried here.

… or forced to take-on un-related work and afraid of discouraging newbies.

I almost clarified “in external form”, but you’ve really hit the nail on the head.

Joke’s on you; Almost all of the personalized links whatever app/sites generate for me to share are invalid until I delete massive chunks of them!

As a result, I anonymize all of them just so I can share stories about random bullshit.

I’m in this comment, and I don’t like it. I still fix “computers” for a living, but when I get home, most days, the last tech I want to interact with is anything more complex than my phone.

Let’s hope you’re right.

It does seem like some out-of-left-field weaksauce to me, but the absurdity is part of the populist newspeak playbook that has been disturbingly successful over the last decade or so.

… are you somehow under the impression that I need to be convinced?

Narrative-wise, they become no longer Palastenians, but Saudis who are disobeying their King/Prince. It does NOT change anything for the better.

Yes, and that’s why those in power are using this moment to try to sell us on this story, and it’s chances of success.

Social Credit is real, yo. Particularly, networking with people who have the discretionary funds to spend on expensive equipment.

No one has mentioned the idea of having double-decked stations to make it so you don’t have to worry about moving to the right floor in advance of your stop.

I would posit this as a given if we bothered to make taller tunnels for taller train-cars, but based on other comments here, I’m not sure this idea actually makes the concept of double-decker subways any more sensible or useful.

It looks like those metros that have a use for the idea have made it work in their own way and places that haven’t tend to have significant reasons of their own for not going this route. Enlarging existing tunnels vertically seems to be a non-starter in most places, for instance.

Only problems I’ve ever had on TPB were not finding things that I could find on other sites. Then again, I don’t use Windows for either downloading or media consumption, I check torrent file lists as I’m downloading to make sure I’m not downloading anything suspect, and I’ve so far managed to catch wind of things like certain trusted uploaders getting hacked, spoofed, or just plain trying to cash-in, in-time to avoid getting worked over.

Those same users post to most of the other public sites as well, so I’m not getting where TPB is somehow particularly un-trustworthy. IME, other public sites seem to have MANY more torrents for a given search, often by orders of magnitude, so which one is really less moderated?

The REAL encouraged/discouraged is Private vs Public sites and trackers, and I’m not pretending that for all my caveats I haven’t been just plain lucky. If you download regularly at all, Private is the way to go.

Trump isn’t in jail due to his sabotaging the judicial aparatus while in office and the clear threat his voters demonstrate. They have shown themselves to be a credible threat to democracy. I was very wrong, while you and apparently nine others misread my comment

Seriously, do you expect me to lay Trump’s on-going freedom, and the January 6th bullshit, at Biden’s feet? Biden isn’t even running now.

I voted for Howie Hawkins last time, certain in the knowlege that Biden would win, Trump would go to jail, and we could hold Biden’s feet to the fire.

January 6th, and all the related bullshit that’s followed, showed me that I had made a huge mistake and just got lucky when it comes to the MAGA-crowd’s coup competence. I will not make that mistake again, not in this election anyways.

“Abandon Harris” is a shit campaign name. Self-aware guilt, right in the name.

Also phone number and address, none of which is being exposed like so, save name and maybe birthdate.

I think you meant “consistent”, but you know what? That title looks consistent enough to me, and I’m saving your comment for copy-pasta. Just beautiful.

Even back when I was in the laptop-repair game, this is the kinda stuff people would expect me to know about their stuff that I hated. I saw too many features come and go over the years to keep track of even half of it on behalf of others.
