Was gonna say I love this idea. Now I know what not to buy.

Bittorrent is a file sharing protocol, which isn’t inherently dangerous. The ‘torrent’ contains the information that’s being passed around to allow connectivity to that particular file. This is also not inherently dangerous as that information is very specific and limited… and doesn’t allow any other user to browse the rest of your computer.
What may be dangerous is downloading a file that contains malware or viruses via a torrent. Use reputable sites and keep your security software up to date. Better yet, use a different computer for this activity with a vpn.
Thank you. Even if they pass something it will be written by a bureaucratic bean counter and will be riddled with loopholes.
Simply don’t allow loans on stocks. Keep it simple.
I believe bystanders got some vid too.
I’ve always felt it was a matter of how much you were learning or experiencing new things. When you’re very young, literally every second is streaming information into your brain that you’ve never seen, touched, tasted, done…etc.
Once we get life’s patterns down, once we learn what motions we need to go through to ensure our own survival, we also find them banal and literally start blanking them out of our minds while we think of other things, dream of that next new experience that may now be months or even years coming.
What we all miss is that those very motions are our lives. Every one of those seconds we just grind through is time. You wake up at the next experience you’ve been waiting for, smile wide, and then realize you’re 5 years older.
If you want to slow down time, actively seek out new things to do, no matter how small. Sounds easy, doesn’t it? It isn’t.
Edit to say I’ve often thought about what it will be like when death is imminent. You know, people say you’ll never wish you worked harder on your deathbed? But I tell you what, I ‘may’ wish for some of those long weeks of ‘wishing my life would speed up just because I’m stuck at the office’ back.
Kinda makes every moment feel sweet for awhile, appreciating it, at least until you fall back into the old pattern.
Back in 1988 I had a school project with a few people, one of whom came from a wealthy family. The project was regarding the stock market, and each team was given a certain amount of imaginary money to invest, to see who would win out at the end of the semester. My friend with the wealthy family came back with a recommendation from his father, of course, and we won the contest easily.
The recommendation? Put all our funds into Berkshire Hathaway.
I had the golden goose egg right in front of me and never invested a dime.
I don’t think this post said anything about ‘The Game’ backfiring.
It specifically calls out that streamers spoke about exactly what they didn’t want spoken. That’s what the Streisand Effect is.
Congratulations to Game Science for a good game, but it’s business as usual for the C-Suite being completely disconnected to how the social world works.
There’s two types of oil, essentially and I don’t remember what they are called. When oil was easy to get we built refineries for that kind. When it got scarce you could only get the other kind.
The US in its infinite wisdom decided it was too expensive to build refineries for the new kind, so what we’ve been doing is sending the oil we pump to other countries who can refine it, then import the kind we can refine.
Why do you think he strongarmed Teslas shareholders into that big pay day? He’s known this was coming, y’all. Tesla’s just paying for his misadventure.
Came here to say this. If I had an AI buddy that could do all sorts of stuff for me and talk about history all day with me on long drives while making sure I was perfectly safe and secure and basically be my best artificial friend…
I’d be riding that train.
I liked the latest D&D movie a lot, but I guess that doesn’t technically count.
My father says the same thing about the slim margin of oil companies. That being said, when that slim margin is in the billions and millions of people suffer for it, there’s room for inquiry.
Sooo… is Meta going to scrub all that information from their system or did Texas just basically ‘sell’ our info to them for 1.4 billion?
I can’t really describe to you how angry I was when that shit went through. Like… I knew it was ridiculous to get so angry but, I LOVED THAT FREAKING APP.
This was way back but had a basic support call for someone who couldn’t get their mouse to work.
After speaking with them for over ten minutes and just being generally confused I cut to the chase and asked, “Ma’am, what are you doing with your mouse right now?”
The answer? She was moving the mouse around on the monitor.
I’d love to see more funny video communities. (Bad drivers, epic fails, etc) I know it’s basic, apologies. Sometimes I just need to laugh.
I think you misunderstood the comment heheh.
The added ‘a’ implies that there are many plots to sneak arms onto the island. They just happened to foil this one.
Cuba foils a plot to sneak arms onto island from U.S.
