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.

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.

That Sunshine law just states public meeting records must be publicly available not that every criminal case needs to be made public (as an example just look at any one of the thousands of cases involving police brutality where details aren’t released). This is just a myth that got repeated over and over on reddit for years to the point that everyone believes it.

This type of shit is explicitly unique to Florida.

From the grainy screenshot, he looks exactly like Farmer Fran from The Waterboy.

Two of the victims were arrested for resisting officers.

Typical Florida police state.

The US government did that via a guy who wanted a promotion at the DOJ.

What’s funny is that nobody alive today was alive and in the military for any major conflict that we were actually victorious in, so what “good old days” are these geezers even pining for? The days where we lost a bunch of soldiers in Vietnam and the ones who survived came back with PTSD and drug addictions?

Yeah what guy would complain about seeing a woman take her bra off? A guy that insecure is going to have a bad reaction in the same situation.

I can’t help but think this would only make things worse for someone insecure about their size because now it’s giving potential partners a false sense of reality that will be exposed the second they come off. It also seems weird because this isn’t the 1980s where “nut hugger” jeans are popular either.

Don’t they have UV nail polish and could that contain different chemicals that dont stink as badly? I’m out of my element here.

Until someone can do it cheaper and then they take over. This has already happened many, many times as chinese quality increased and wages and thus prices increased.

Unless some other nation finds a stockpile of rare earth minerals, slave labor, and bottomless government subsidies, I don’t see this happening with EVs. Currently nobody else on the planet is able to sell them anywhere near the price China is and that’s not because of simple cost cutting and business efficiency.

This is probably some agreement witn the Chinese government to give good press in other parts of the world in order to get benefits on vehicles sold in China. Ford’s CEO put out a nearly identical article a few months ago.

No it’s definitely their monopoly on the rare earth mineral market.

Change it to WingDings and sit back while the world burns around you.

Yeah imagine going to the hospital with a stroke and your on-call surgeon lives 1500 miles away, except in this case you’ve already paid them upfront and they’re earning 6x the amount of other surgeons because they’re “on-call.” Fuck these corrupt pigs.

The I-Team also found six sergeants in the sheriff’s office who live out of state - in Idaho, Nevada, Texas and Tennessee. Two of them work on the bomb squad where they made almost $600,000 in pay and benefits last year. They’re supposed to respond to a bomb threat within one hour – no way that’s happening if they’re in Tennessee.

Jesus christ.

In the US they only reimburse around $0.50/mile (last I knew from several years ago) so it’d have to be a killer deal to be cheaper for rentals than reimbursement. OP did reference kilometers, but I imagine the reimbursement rate is similar wherever you are.
