I’m not sure why people downvoted instead of educating. To answer your question: no, it isn’t. It has been awhile since I’ve used torrents, so this may be a little out of date, but typically, within your P2P client you’ll have active “seeds,” including while you’re downloading. Some people immediately delete files from “active” after their download is complete. It is generally considered proper etiquette to leave the torrent active (at least) until it you have uploaded approximately 2x what you have downloaded. This helps keep torrents active and relatively quick, while not placing the bulk of the bandwidth burden on a few seeders.

Every region will have renewable/clean energy that is better suited to it. Investing in many approaches and deploying them where they’re most effective is definitely the right approach. Alaska would be terrible for solar, but I imagine this solution wouldn’t have anywhere near the amount of seasonal fluctuation. My only concern would be the potential effects on marine life, though I’m sure it would be far less than the heating and accidification of the oceans due to emissions.

While this is welcome news, I refuse to utilize their service until they stop bringing exclusivity to the PC market. It is asinine on consoles and even more so on PC.

Reporters tend to work certain beats and often wear credentials. It wouldn’t surprise me if she recognized him. Additionally, the staff from these far-right rags tend to make themselves “memorable.”

HOAs are just another example of institutional racism and should be abolished.

I certainly will! Thank you for the recommendation! I’m actually not far from their roaster, so it should be within the ideal range on arrival.

I have little faith that the increase will find its way to the people on the ground. I say this as a “coffee snob” that doesn’t buy beans from my favored region because the workers aren’t fairly compensated.

Interesting that they’ve been carrying on about having an “affordable” option with their console that has devalued both offerings, yet they’re going to increase the price of the hardware and games.

I had to argue with a driver to give me my package once after watching him walk up with the note filled out in his hand. Very infuriating.

That’s a good point! There are already issues with their “a.i.” implementation, including violations of contracts with celebrities.

I hope so! Back then, they had their collaboration with HTC. Unfortunately, the performance just didn’t justify the cost. I’ve been interested in VR and AR for quite some time, so I look forward to when the tech is both worth the cost and offered by a company I can at least justify giving my money.

Hopefully they sell off quest so we can maybe get a company not so dead set on invading privacy in the VR market. I swore off Facebook in 2007 due to privacy concerns, and it is unfortunate that they purchased Oculus in 2014 and became the leader in the space. This literally happened just as I had come into a position where I actually had disposable income and was interested in VR.

Agreed! While I’ve never wanted children, I had to wait a considerable time before a doctor would perform a vasectomy on me. I think that there should be continued research into temporary male birth control for those who may want children. There have been several promising non-hormonal methods that I would like to either see approved or have wider adoption. I also believe that we need continued education on condom use, as STIs disproportionately affect women.

Oh, ok. I just assumed a human study, but mice makes more sense. It certainly sounds like an interesting study. I find nutrition to be an engaging topic, especially considering the availability of choices that many have now. Thank you for answering my questions!

That’s interesting. Was compliance difficult? I work with dieticians, and they have all mentioned difficulty with compliance. Americans and food. 🤷‍♂️

Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. At a time when military recruitment is critically low, why would you turn away qualified people? While I have my own opinions about our military and the way they are used, if they can make the cut, then they should be able to serve. Only incompetent leadership would refuse to fully utilize all personnel and tools at their disposal.

Out of curiosity, how did you decide to define it and why?

I made the same mistake without noticing the community. It is unfortunately on the forefront of my mind.

Respect to those women. It isn’t easy to put yourself in the line of fire when you’re not the target. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for any crowd funding of their defense of this goes forward.

That makes sense. I definitely could see a use case for developers, but I don’t see many average pc users having a need for or even being aware of this service.
