I heard that he wanted to get Officer Thomson and his lamp on the case, but the request form was incomplete.

You’re more likely to solve the problem by yelling into a pillow

You mean the Casper Original Pillow I’m buying with Klarna for 4 easy payments of $39.95 at 29.99% interest?

I hear they’re partnering with Amazon on a new version that has a tiny Alexa speaker in it that will whisper ads in your ear while you’re sleeping unless you pay them $15 to turn it off. It’s called the Casper Pillow Talk with Special Offers.

Yelling: ALEXA! HOW CAN I GET CONSUMER PROTECTION IN THE UNITED STATES?

Casper Pillow Talk with Special Offers: I’m sorry, I don’t understand. By the way, did you know that Amazon Pharmacy is now selling antidepressants at a discounted price? To order, just say “Add Xanax to my next drone delivery”. To receive the discount, say “I waive my right to sue Amazon via the justice system and agree to private corporate arbitration until the end of time!”

Lawful good at home.

Laptop and two horizontal monitors at work. Is that lawful neutral good or neutral good lawful?

Personally, I think it’s probably neutral awful - one is HDMI and the other is VGA.

Great. Now my left eye is twitching uncontrollably and I want to punch a sales drone into next quarter.

You can thank Disney and Mickey Mouse for that one.

Can’t be, I am actually you. Don’t forget to do that thing later.

I know. But it’s not illegal to look up stuff from TMDB. It only becomes a problem if the copyright holder already has your IP address, knows what you’ve downloaded, and also subpoenas a list of addresses you’ve visited, which could provide them with additional evidence that you did in fact download their IP in a court case against you.

“See, Judge? He downloaded Shrek 12: The Enshrekening AND he also downloaded movie posters and a plot synopsis from TMDB for this same movie, which proves that he was in possession of our property.”

If they don’t already have evidence that you’ve “stolen” from them, a TMDB query won’t be evidence of anything useful.

It’s pretty easy to get flagged for illegal downloads with torrents, but almost impossible to do the same with usenet downloads.

First, change your DNS servers to something like Quad 9 so your ISP can’t track you that way. Then maybe consider switching to usenet, which is more secure in that you’re downloading from a server (or servers) over an encrypted connection instead of via torrent, where you’re both uploading (distributing) and downloading, and your IP address is available to anyone else downloading.

With usenet, all copyright-holders can really do is issue a takedown request to the indexer or host, neither of which is you.

Belief in the goodness of humanity rarely survives extended contact with humanity.

The worst are the ones who give 1 star when they CLEARLY did not even bother to read the actual description of the product.

NESPRESSO COFFEE PODS: Exist and are clearly labeled as such.

Don’t forget good old Pukemark, the brand Grandma trusts!

See my vest!

Orthodox Jews aren’t allowed to interact with certain things on the Sabbath, so the temperature display is turned off and other stuff is automated so no adjustments can be made on that day.

Great, so some governments operate like a fridge in Sabbath Mode

More content and also much longer retention - many providers retain files for 4000+ days (11 years).

It doesn’t matter if that one guy in Macedonia is still seeding, if it’s on a server with good retention, you’ll get it immediately and at very fast, non-Macedonian speeds.

You need 2 indexers (in case one goes down temporarily) and two providers with different backbones - one primary and one to backfill if all portions of the file you want aren’t available on your primary.

Here’s a good overview of Usenet backbones. For example, Newsdemon with Eweka is a decent combo.

This all works best with an *arr stack + SABnzbd. *arr apps will connect to the indexers so you can find stuff to download when you search for something - for example, Sonarr for TV shows.

When a file that meets your requirements is found, Sonarr will download the nzb file and put it in a directory that SAB watches. SAB then downloads the file and puts it in “completed” directory that Sonarr watches.

Sonarr then moves the file to that TV show’s directory, which your media player (like Jellyfin) watches, and then it shows up there for you to enjoy.

If you get everything dialed right, it works perfectly and is super reliable.
