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.

lol

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

I always make hot lemon-and-honey “tea” when it’s fuck-off cold out. It’s what my mom did for sore throats (which I did get, and still got, frequently in the winter) so it’s super comforting.

Just squeeze about 1/2 of a lemon into a mug of hot water, then drizzle in honey to taste. Best done with a highly flavored local clover honey imo. And you can use a teaspoon or two of the storebought squeeze bottle lemon concentrate if its all you have.

That would require reddit to actually be making a profit…

how do you convince someone that bitter coffee is not good coffee?

That’s the neat part; you don’t.

This is the first time I think I’ve actually seen this comic untouched.

I’ve always seen the one edited to make fun of civil engineers doing FEA.

my guy you can’t waltz into the hornet’s nest with a baseball bat and then complain when you get stung.

the only winning move is not to play. just shut up, delete your reddit account and walk away.

A modified file will not pass the original torrent file hash integrity heck, and trackers will not consider a torrent with a modified hash as “the same”. So the bittorrent protocol is actually quite resilient against an injection attack.

This is it. If you know where you downloaded from and can match up the file names, just put the movie in the downloads folder (or point your torrent client at the folder containing the movie when adding the torrent). It’ll do a piece-by-piece check then start seeding.

Licensing, probably. H.265 is very not open and you have to pay the MPEG piper to actually use it.

Ah perfect. I’ll throw some of the 300gb archives on my rig when I get home.

They are meant for long-term preservation.

This is basically a “distributed backup” of the entire database. The torrents are not actively serving files- they’re there to store multiple copies of the main database across the globe so that the entire database can be recovered (by anyone with the requisite knowledge, mind you) in the event that something happens to the original Anna’s Archive team or the main database is lost/seized by “law enforcement”.

It’s equivalent to how backup managers in ye olden days would make broken up piece files of a certain size that could fit onto a CD or DVD, so you could fit the entire contents of a large 20+GB hard drive onto multiple smaller media. The backup itself is not accessed unless your main hard drive crashes, in which case you reassemble all the individual pieces back into your complete OS environment after replacing the hard drive.

Id happily seed a tb or so of the most in-danger torrents. My internet aint much but my old pc is almost always on.
How do I know which of the piece torrents are high or low on seeders? Maybe I’m just being special or can’t see it on mobile but is there no way to check each torrent’s health without actually downloading every piece and putting it in my torrent client?

Edibles are only expensive if you’re buying them pre-made. Buy distillate and make brownies and it’s significantly cheaper plus you can control your dosage. Edible highs also last a lot longer anyway.

Alternatively just move to Oregon and the shits so cheap here that it doesn’t even matter lmfao. I ain’t a heavy smoker but $30 gets you a whole ounce if you know where the good deals are and that’ll last me like 3 months lol

Oh yeah. Having a healthy relationship with your recreational substances is important.

It’s always been kinda weird, weed for me is one of those things where I’ll get an itch and smoke a shitload every evening for a week straight, then it loses its luster a bit, I’ll go “meh” and then not touch it for three months.

I haven’t! he seems to not be on lemmy much, he’s made a few posts on Mastodon so he’s still around I just think lemmy is not his focus.

Might need to poke him sometime to get Lemmy updated because we’re falling quite a few versions behind.

I’ve been too busy to be high for weeks now. College sucks

At least I got priorities I guess.
