Dead cover bands with a really good "Jerry" are plentiful but Dead cover bands with a really good "Bobby" or "Phil" are few and far between.

Remembering how leading up to the 2024 election, the big Dem party ace in the hole was getting Trump to shut down the immigration bill so they could post about how he doesn't love ICE enough.

there's a cadence to file structures of torrents i find really pleasing. the natural evolution of 00's closed forum culture and changing digital media standards means you get deranged, beautiful language like "Michael.Clayton.2007.1080p WEB DL - BoNe PuNiShEr Kollektiv [5 . 1][ Repak ]"

The concept of a "feels-like temperature" is fundamentally flawed, because factors like wind and humidity will impact heat transfer dynamics in ways that can't be translated directly to temperature. Sorry if this offends.

See this is why I always watch MeTV over the air.
IMPORTANT NOTICE- due to contract stipulations, MeTV cannot air “King Kong VS Godzilla” on streaming platforms- FrndlyTV,FuBo,Philo,Sling and DirecTV- or in Hawaii. We will have to replace it with “Fiend Without a Face”. We apologize for this disappointment.

Check this one fact out:
"In 2024, the total installed electricity capacity of the planet—every coal, gas, hydro, and nuclear plant and all of the renewables—was about 10 terawatts. The Chinese solar supply chain can now pump out 1 terawatt of panels every year."

This man is talking about stealing a country at gunpoint from nations the US is allied with. Of course Europeans hate us. You would feel the same way if you were in their place. American voters put this man in power, he didn’t seize it this time.

I made this simple but effective bittorrent kill switch:
- Computer 1 (not on VPN) records its public IP to a fileshare
- Computer 2 (on VPN, running torrent client) checks its public IP against Computer 1
- If they match, it means VPN on Computer 2 is down and the torrent client is force-closed
- Computer 1 (not on VPN) records its public IP to a fileshare
- Computer 2 (on VPN, running torrent client) checks its public IP against Computer 1
- If they match, it means VPN on Computer 2 is down and the torrent client is force-closed
