Seriously though. Snapper has saved my bacon so many times, I don’t even know how I operated before it.

I remember being obsessed with this one when it first came out! It might be time for a replay on my Steam Deck!

Yeah…it’s quite annoying. Go to pick up my tablet off the dock, and literally every notification I’ve received since I last used it is there. Even if I’ve already acknowledged it on my phone.

Exactly this.

My mother continually defends that jackass every time I try and bring up how unhinged and nonsensical he sounds - such as when rambling about sharks, or Gettysburg.

“Oh sweetie, he’s just kidding! He likes to joke and kid around!”

No…No mom, he’s a deranged lunatic who can barely string together two coherent sentences.

Nonono, that was the National Socialist Party, duh!

Hey, at least she picked one of the most reliable cars on the market.

I’ve treated my hunting clothing with permethrin when we were going to an area that was known to have an extremely heavy tick population. We had a spray bottle of the stuff, and did a thick coating all over our outer gear, and then allowed it to dry. Permethrin is fairly low toxicity for humans & dogs, but absolutely killer for mosquitoes and ticks. Worked like a charm!

“I swear babe, I didn’t cheat on you! I just came into contact with a Brown Widow spider!!”

Alaskan here - this is what I’m most afraid of. I can’t tell you how many coworkers (who are conservative) have bitched and moaned about how “That’s the only reason Peltola [D] won!”

It’s extremely evident that they simply don’t understand the system, nor do they want to. They’ve latched onto it as “the thing that made their pick lose” and so it must die.

OpenSUSE TW KDE supremacy!

It’s probably in reference to The Hobbit movies - which were…less than great.

It’s definitely not short, but The Expanse series by James S.A. Corey is absolutely top notch.

The attention to detail that goes into a sci-fi series that lives within a realistic world, with actual physics is incredible - i.e:

• Ships need to calculate when to flip around midway through their journey to decelerate by burning the opposite direction.

• Torpedoes and tungsten slugs have travel time.

• Making hard accelerations or evasive maneuvers can and will crush you into your flight seat due to the intense G forces and the only way to not black out is a cocktail of stimulants, adrenaline, and blood thinners

• Communications take place at actual light speed, which means when you’re dealing with distances up to several hundred million kilometers, it can take anywhere from minutes to hours for your message to be received.

But fear not! This is truly a traditional sci-fi novel, packed full with ancient alien substances that seem to reprogram human cells for their own use - but to what end? Ancient feuds between those born in space, and those born on a planet. And the answer to the age old question: why not just use asteroids as weapons?

The main characters are an extremely close knit group, who it seems at times get by on sheer willpower and a touch of luck (with some excellent planning).

The story takes turns being told from different characters’ perspectives, which really helps you get to know each character intimately - how they think, and feel about the events unfolding - how their morality affects their choices.

If you’re looking for a more “realistic” take on sci-fi, this series is absolutely up your alley.

The first novel is called “Leviathan’s Wake” and there are 9 main books in the series, with a smattering of novellas between that expand on the world.

Man I miss Inbox so much. It kept me so much more organized than Gmail ever has.

Hmmmm, this coincides with the shutdown of Tachiyomi…

I just got my automated pirating machine set up!

Here’s the wiki for the *arr apps!

• Radarr for movies
• Sonarr for TV shows
• Prowlarr for index management
• Optional Doplarr Discord Bot for requests

Set up your profiles for Radarr/Sonarr to pick the quality of release you want (1080p, min/max file size, etc)

Feed Radarr/Sonarr your qbittorrent info, nzbget & Usenet info

They will automatically search the indexes (I use 1337x for torrents & nzbgeek for Usenet) for the files that fit your parameters, download it, and organize it.

All you have to do is point Plex at the output folders and BAM, automated pirating.

I even took it a step further and set up Doplarr - a Discord bot that handles requests. Now friends/family can ping the bot with their movie/show requests and it’ll sync up to Radarr/Sonarr and add their requests!
