I had a brief stint in a shit hole during COVID lockdowns. This old dude started and it turned out his wife and the lady in charge were friends. He was one of the dumbest people I've ever met. He legit had someone else's glasses on and didn't know until the other guy was trying to find his. He said he thought it was weird that he couldn't see properly. He also seen a few guys with face screens rather than masks and he wanted one. We told him you can get them from health and safety, so off he goes. Comes back and says they're awful, you can't see shit out of them. He hadn't removed the protective covering...

I've worked with some apes in my time but I've no idea how this guy got so far in life without dying or something

I used to assemble products and when someone came in for a pickup we always asked for a receipt as it was the easiest way to find what belonged to them. If they didn't have it we'd just need to look it up on the computer, no big deal

I was about 16 or 17 and guy comes in and says, "I'm here to pick up my X". I asked for the receipt. He instantly blew a gasket "I'm no thief, don't you dare accuse me of stealing, blah blah". When he settled down I said I only wanted it to find his item easier, which of course started him on another shouting rampage. I was the only one in the department and I remember him shouting a lot and then had his finger right in my face. It was my turn to lose it, I told him if he didn't get his finger out of my face and stop shouting I was going to kick seven shades of shite out of him. The commotion had caused other staff members to show up, then the manager came up. I told the manager I wasn't serving him, find someone else, theres more chance of me breaking his nose than me getting his shit. I explained what happened out in the back store and the manager said it was fine, I heard nothing more about it

I had another customer lose it at me in the same place as he said good were faulty. I said no you broke it. He said it just happened. I laughed at him. He lost his mind. I didn't GAF when I was that age. Manager replaced his product FOC. I laughed at the manager about that too

You're going from a source of an encoded x264 and reencoding (the already encoded file) as x265?? What are the results like?

Most people encode from a high quality source like a remux, rather than an encode

Little click on 2... 3's binding

I installed trusted cracks from scene groups. Not everyone who can crack will be a scene group. To get into the scene you need to be well trusted. Scene groups would NOT damage their integrity to install something malicious through a crack

As another user said, check the files you have match the direct uploads from the scene with a site like predb.me

You can search online for more info on scene groups/warez/topsites

10?! There's users out there with infinite ratio on some trackers. Numbers in the thousands are not uncommon

My parents gotba relatively new Merc and I'd to turn that auto braking off. Its far too sensitive and nearly had me rear ended driving around a bend. My guess is its picking up the retroreflective spots on the markings as there usually isn't a car on that bend but the Merc is beeping at me like I'm about to be in a collision

On a very very rare occasion I've had to use it for scene cracks as other apps didn't work. They use WinRAR to archive it so on those very rare occasions it's the only thing that unpacks it

You're downloading old and/or unpopular stuff. For you to upload content someone has to be actively downloading that content (that's how the bit torrent protocol works at the most basic level). If you choose some 5 year-old FL of a Game of Thrones pack with 7,000 seeders, that's on you

It will depend a lot on hardware and/or software but I'd bet users would see some artefacting, ghosting, and general noise when they play your x265 file

As another comment pointed out, an encode of an encode is banned on a lot of trackers... Or at least an encode of an already pretty lossy encode (x264) won't be allowed

Does the filesize change much?

I still catch myself doing this on occasion!!

If you could only be an expert in one and average at the rest, it's wrestling because of the ability you would have to control your opponent. If I could pick a second it would be Mauy Thai as striking is obviously important

Most. Water, for example, takes up more volume in spaces when frozen

I put this on every so often on a family drive. Had it on yesterday, kids love it

But what about me?

Little me, you haven't got the time to hear it

It's a typo, supposed to say "private tracker"

I'm on a few private trackers, never paid a penny towards any of them, and have high ratios in all of them

It did take me a little work and spent some time seeding stuff I didn't really want but I got there with a shitty home connection (my connection is pretty good now but I built those ratios with dog shit speeds)

I gave him a dollar

Bullshit. The world's a big place and your rules don't apply here

Don't download anything (unless there is a freeleach option) and cross seed, for infinity

Reminds me of back in the days when guys were doing stuff like that to get a better hit off their X

The mice!!!

Games would be fine too if they are Scene/Topsite cracks. You should be able to verify the files integrity with the hash, referenced to a Pre site like scnsrc.net

They didn't get the car brand new but it wasn't very old. Perhaps the previous owner turned on the setting

I have been in the settings and adjusted it but in the end it was just easier to turn the function off

Its probably awesome on the Autobahns but its a danger on windytight roads that I drive on. Probably 3 or 4 times it braked on me when there was no reason to do so. There's one bit near my approaching a roundabout and it beeps like hell at me to slow down at least 50% of the time. Fortunately I'm back in my own car now as I don't need the automatic (I injured my left leg)

No, I'm not talking about having cruise control on in any of my comments. Just driving with the pedals myself

CTRL + Shift + Home/End will select all to the start/end of a document. I use that one a lot

A torrent client may need settings in the client changed, firewall rules changed, and ports open on the router. Even with all that a VPN could still have a limited connection. Some VPNs allow you control over this but I doubt free ones do

Things are changing rapidly but asynchronous upload/download speeds are not always offered by ISPs and uploading was always slower than downloading... used to be never but I've seen more and more ISPs offer asynchronous speeds

There are a huge number of factors that we don't know that could account for your slower speeds

It was a company vehicle and if it was crashed, we'd have known about it
