My huband is pretty tech illiterate. I set up a serv.arr ecosystem routed through a VPN and showed him how to add a search for a movie he wants.
Man, he has been sailing harder than I ever did in my youth. The majority of our torrent traffic is now his requests and not mine.
Sure he doesn't grok how it works other than some allusions to limewire, but that doesn't really matter.
If you have an experienced sailor behind you, piracy is now orders of magnitude easier than paying for seventeen streaming services. You don't have to know or care which service has your show this week, you punch in the name and some time later a file appears in jellyfin. He's even started loading up searches before the media is released. Servarr will catch it when it's uploaded and we'll get a pleasant surprise one day when it appears in jellyfin.
It is a pretty magical experience when you have your torrents automated.
I used an RSS feed based setup for years, and my first awareness that four episodes of game of thrones and one uncensored episode of south park leaked was the notification popping up on my PC telling me that a download completed.
I've recently been using soulseek (with nicotine+) more, since a lot of unseeded or obscure things appear on there.
I see these everywhere now. They are really cool looking. I like boxy suv's that don't try to be a jeep wrangler at the same time. Saw one when I went to get my girlfriends 24 kona. Even their cheapest hyundai cars look like spaceships
I can't find any of these clean/in good condition and not slammed or rusted to shit. It's a wagon so by default it's cool. All the old basic cars like this that are in good running order are like 10k+
If youre fine with older cars look at a toyota avalon. The ones they made until like 2013ish. They are fantastic luxury cars and you get that toyota insurance cost. If you want something newer they JUST discontinued the newer gen avalon in place of the crown (there's also a crossover version of the crown)
I was expecting a lot more of this and model 3's in the comments of this post. I honestly don't know a lot about newer BMWs but I see these a lot in central florida
Model 3s and Ys are super popular here in Seattle, but my wife didn't like the design/build quality. There aren't so many BMWs in comparison, but I see a few around.
Yeah they are everywhere here. I thought they were cool but everyone who drives one is a pickme so that killed it for me. Also how elitist tesla drivers can be.
I found out the hard way that BMW drivers are seen as elitist also. Honestly, I wish Acura made a decent sedan EV. Everyone is mostly just doing crossovers, which I don’t like. So not a lot of choices for sedans.
Why do they need to drive a practical car? Some people have the $$$ to not worry about that and I'm not going to shit on them for that.
These are really cool and have more cargo room than they look like they have due to its long wheel base. Hyundai/kia went from diet coke civic to cool kid on the block. Was looking to buy one of these becuase im in the market for an EV but Im probably gonna get a used polestar 3 because I like volvo and they are a steal right now with low miles.
I'll shit on them for that. Cars, like guns, are tools, not toys. To use them like toys is harmful and disrespectful to the environment. There are healthier ways to feel powerful. To use cars as profligately as we do now is immensely harmful. For background, I grew up poor and in farming country. I used to ride along with my neighbor when he hayed our field with equipment that a blacksmith, a wheelwright, a leatherworker, and a carpenter could make, pulled by a brace of draught horses.
I didn't get my driving license until I was in my 20s, and finally did in the interest of designated driving for drunk friends.
I didn't get an automobile until I was almost 30, and I really look forward to returning to a carfree lifestyle. "Public luxury, private sufficiency" is the way forward for us billions. The more integrated out bodies and minds to meet our needs, the better.
