I made dinner last week, this is a solved problem. I have to make dinner again???

CAD software is very overpriced and deserves to be pirated, more so than other digital stuff

This is an indicator of severe dopamine deficit. Maybe try with a few more games

Public transport is not the worst in Australia, but so many jobs require a car even if you can make it to work. I think people also judge you negatively if you don’t drive even if the job doesn’t require it.

Yeah, welfare here is mostly app/phone based. You can technically get around it, but it requires visiting a dwindling number of centres very regularly and waiting in long queues.

My highest share ratio is 278 for a 1 GB rip of death bed lol

TSA sounds nightmarish to me

What did they say?

Mid-hundreds. idk, way higher than I was getting for forgetting to delete random game of thrones episodes

I am keeping some torrents alive and have mad seed ratios on some of them. If it goes under five seeds and I’ve downloaded it.

To OP, the more seeds a torrent has, the easier it is for everyone to download it, and the less each seeder has to contribute. Think of it as a sort of giving back to the community.

Obviously, the latest episode of popular TV show doesn’t need your help, but obscure bits of media can actually die out. Or stuck at the same 40% for months.

Since the files are just kept on everyone’s computer, if no one has that file while online, no one can download it. No central file repository.

Read the instructions, but also sometimes windows defender or whatever helpfully deletes suspicious files that you need.

Unrelated program, but cracking solidworks required removing every trace of the student copy I had installed (well, registries and program files at least)

I’ve had quite a few people say I’ve been brainwashed by Chinese or soviet propaganda, a thing I do not encounter often, and then slowly explain the most bog standard white Australian nationalist narrative to me. I wish I was better at confrontational social situations

I hop on to TOR, but it’s pretty much the only thing I go onto TOR for. I got some soviet industrial manuals

I have to ration disk space and internet here is typically not amazing

I actually had a decent amount of fun with this one.

For me, it was binging all of House and Stargate

Having no money and deciding that shouldn’t stand between me and media I wouldn’t pay for anyway. Also my local college’s DC++ network, where someone had about 20 TB back in 2006 (which was a bit of a culture shock after having been banned from watching most TV during childhood).

I remember I downloaded the FFG Rogue Trader in 2008, and it was just Twilight with the troll face watermarked on each page. That was a long road trip.

But also yes
