You really think one of the stars of The Avengers is lacking in resources to get a response from police? What is ICE supposed to do in this hypothetical scenario anyway? Deport her based on the word of a single individual who happens to be a celebrity?

But Immigration enforcement against non-citizens actively committing crimes is what every other country in the world does.

So in every other country in the world, immigration enforcement officers get to play judge, jury, and executioner and kick people out of the country based on their personal feelings and personal take on a situation? What nonsense.

I don’t know how much of these allegations is true but I’ve always gotten weird vibes from the guy and had a strong dislike of him and his roles. Another actor like this for me was Kevin Spacey and we all see how that turned out.

The same thing George W Bush did at the end of his term too.

He’s just doing what Republican administrations have had to do over the past 20 years and bribing people with cash payments right near the end of their term after wrecking the economy.

$100 is actually a great deal. I had a bunch of shucked 8TB WD EasyStore in my media server previously, bought between 2018-2023, and I think the best deal I ever saw during that time was around that price. Around $12/TB was always my benchmark for a great deal on some drives.

I’ve been buying refurbished drives from ServerPartDeals and looking at my invoice from March versus now the price of the same drive has gone up 10% from $180 to $198 (Ultrastar HC530 14TB)

After ensuring that it would pass without him needing to publicly support it.

And lets be honest, it’s not going to change the elections either since nobody is willing to use their vote for anything but more garbage from both of these parties.

Happiness seems to be the overarching theme for these introductory episodes but I feel like we’re just waiting for the other shoe to drop. I can’t see this continuing on for too long as is.

Same here! I intentionally went in blind but enjoyed the heck out of it.

No the lazy take is the one that utters a thought-terminating cliche like “bOtH sIdEs” and then leaves the discussion.

Those of us that are willing to look past team-sport, tribalistic politics can clearly see the path our supposed leaders have been walking for decades that brought things to the point we’re at now and aren’t afraid to hold people accountable for it whether they’re on “our team” or not. To do otherwise is just sticking your head in the sand and giving these people a pass.

When I sorted my childhood Lego out 20 years later, I bought a stack of Tupperware containers and sorted everything by piece type (plate, tile, brick, etc) then from there was able to pull out the parts I needed to reconstruct my old sets (with the help of bricklink for the missing pieces).

Anything they can do to lower taxes for people with more money than God.

Music

Prevention of theft might be a reason to mark as private, although this is a very niche use case.

What a hilarious point of view considering the circumstances

Structured folders also helps since you can download whatever folder a specific song is in so typically the folder would be the album title with the artist one level higher.

Its not a big thing with trackers anymore unless you get into one of the exclusive private trackers dedicated to music, but this requires previous history with other trackers, good upload speeds, etc. I would just stick with slsk for now.

I’m sure there is some CTE going on here too.

For sure. The details sound so similar to what Ive heard about Aaron Hernandez’s story.

there is a reason that comcast et al basically have like a 1 gig upload on a 100 gig down connection.

Because they’re limited on channels and allocate more of them for increased download speed because most people upload very little data comparatively.

The bandwidth cap is just a pure money grab as they removed the caps during covid when everyone was video calling and sitting around online at home and ‘somehow’ their network handled it just fine.

None of this has anything to do with piracy.

I was initially upset about this news but you’re totally right on this. I’d much rather have a new in-world story than see my legacy besmirched on screen.
