I respect the devotion to always collecting information from both sides, but if you think hexbear isn’t 100% echo chamber and logical fallacies, then I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you

like, do you wear it while you’re sleeping even? or just on a charger pedestal

I do have an old samsung Gear 2 that I don’t use anymore. Could use that and skip pairing to my phone. I just don’t wear smart watches, because I never wear a watch at all (blue collar industry habits, can’t wear any bands that might get caught in moving machinery)

notifications do bother, i usually have DnD mode set up to turn on automatically. i’m not quite tin-hat enough to blame the 5g signal waves tho lol

…no?

I have some big red LCD shit from the 90s that i got out of a box at my parents house lol

Of course theyll pull the first season, how else would the network drive people to go sign up for their separate shitty streaming site that barely works for an additional $9/mo?

Meanwhile your friendly neighborhood pirate has the first, second, third AND fourth seasons, as well as all the extras and the Christmas special, always available all the time…

mine has a backup- it’s a coin cell to keep the time saved, not to run the alarm.

i’m sure true rechargeable battery clocks exist that would further solve this problem if I bought one; but that would both require effort to find a good one, and also run against my other boomer habit: being a fucking tightwad lmao

Just keeps me from using the damn thing. Whenever you’re in bed you should be sleeping, your brain gets accustomed to that habit of lay down = sleep.

If you have your phone there while laying in bed and decide to pick it up to scroll lemmy/instagram/youtube/whatever, the stimulation and blue light will make you want to not sleep. Plus you might end up burning two hours of your sleep tine and not realize it…

Yeah. A clock with a full backup battery (not judt time keeping) is on my list of things I should get but can’t be assed to go look for.

then you find out the power went out, and your boomer habit of using a normal AC powered alarm clock (so you can keep your phone away from your bed to improve sleep quality) just bit you in the fucking ass

He doesn’t have a chance in the popular vote. He already lost it once (twice, technically). And with how polarizing he’s become, only the more extreme fringe actors are outright supporting him, and those with real money want a “safe” candidate that allows them to keep grifting behind the scenes without causing such a big ruckus. He’ll lose a lot of big donor support, and people are growing tired of the constant outrage news that he generates.
We’ve seen how he performs a symphony of a clusterfuck in a 4 year term, and not even the GOP itself is jumping right at the idea of embracing another 4 years of that struggle- they’re waffling at the idea, and a lot of the extremist upstarts that got a foothold under Trump now want to knock him out of it so they can have their own moment of glory. But Trump was a one-time shot. He was THE face of “The Big Businessman, doing a Business” that appealed to the older, more bootstrapy kind of crowd that still unfortunately dominates the actively voting public. All the younger extremists are trying to parrot him and can’t quite get away with the same level of “crazy” energy without looking actually crazy, since they don’t have the gold-plated toilet of “American Success” to back them up.

But regardless of that, will every hard-right extremist fight tooth and nail to ensure he still wins, including but not limited to high treason, rushed gerrrymandering, voter intimidation (or outright slaughter) and the active dismantling of every aspect of democracy down to the local voter box level? You bet your ass they’re gonna try here.

That’s why the non-parentheses number is zero for all seeded torrents. In parentheses number is “hey I’m here”. Out of parentheses number is “hey I’m here. Let me in.”

For actively downloading torrents they’re an indication of connection health. If there’s 150 announced seeders but you only open a connection to one or two of them, you might have a network problem.

Damn guess I’ll just never buy it till the inevitable port then.

lol

It would be OK to be Carter though since the dude’s almost 100 and has done enough good in his life to deserve a final rest. Man’s absolutely based.

Considering TPB is garbage and shouldn’t be used anymore, I see this as an absolute win

Oh yeah that’s a good idea too. Sure any one client device will be limited to 1g but your NAS could use a super cheap multi-port ethernet card to get 2 or 4g bonded link speeds so it can serve multiple devices at full speed.

Yup. Same age, same design, same failures… and array rebuilds are super intense workloads that often force a lot of random reads and run the drive at 100% load for many hours.

Yeah. They got sold once around 1996 and then again to Hasbro in 1998 after they were failing IIRC. So they were kind of an amalgamation of a bunch of different companies

And Roller Coaster Tycoon! (although it was technically under Hasbro at that point)
