I think it's mostly an issue with their earlier seasons, but the show had a habit of running multiple seasons concurrently. Example - Season 8 on TheTVDB goes from Episode 1 to Episode 10, then Episode 21 to Episode 40, then picks back up with Episodes 11 through 14. Apparently they're actually two different seasons, but try telling that to the hardasses at TheTVDB.
I’ve been using Proton through Gluetun for my torrent stack and haven’t noticed any issues. I followed Dr. Frankenstein’s guide for setting everything up, and I periodically check his docs for changes since they seem to actively keep them up to date.
This isn't acceptable in the least. The very fact it seems so innocuous right now is to get opinions like yours circulating to make everyone feel comfortable with it. People have got to stop thinking in the short-term when it comes to privacy.
"Oh, it's just one more data point, what can it hurt now? All you have to do is type a number in a box. You don't even have to provide any documentation to prove you aren't lying!"
Their "age verification" method is useless for accomplishing any actual age verification. So why is it still being pushed? Because the groundwork is being laid now for the actual surveillance to be implemented later.
You'd think if you were sending a followup message to correct a typo, you'd take a second or two to make sure you had it right before you hit send. But I guess that would make too much sense.
The foods that damage our teeth the most are things that are really sugary and/or highly acidic. Things like sodas, sweets, alcohols, for a few examples. We already consider stuff like that unhealthy without considering what they do to our teeth. And unless you’re consuming stuff like that excessively, they’re not likely to cause you too many problems as long as you’re practicing good dental hygiene.
Oof. I ran this for a bit but ended up removing it because, in addition to searching for missing media, it also kept trying to “upgrade” my existing media. Not sure what quality reference it was using though - I sync Radarr/Sonarr with the Trash Guides and most of what Huntarr pulled for download got stalled at import because it had a lower quality score than what was already in my library.
My roommate got one left on his windshield that was printed to look like a folded $50 bill on one side, and then said, "You park like an asshole," when you flipped it over. To be fair to the person who left it, my roommate totally did park like an asshole that day, so I thought it was hilarious.
The Palantíri were indeed remote seeing stones, so you could still say it's a good name for a company that wants to spy on people. But someone using a palantír could not read the thoughts of others any more than you could read the thoughts of someone you're watching through a camera. At least with a camera you might get sound and be able to eavesdrop on a conversation - the palantíri were seeing stones, they didn't transmit sound. Now they could also transmit the intended thoughts of a person, so two people using the stones could converse in thought, but it was more like talking without words than reading each others minds.
I don't really have much more in the way of a wall of text for this explanation, but if you're curious to know more about the palantíri, I'd recommend checking out their entry on the LotR Wiki.
And listen, I know people harp on this a lot, but it's a company literally named after an orb that lets the most evil force in the world spy on your thoughts.
Minor nitpick from a LotR nerd - that’s not how the Palantíri work. But I suppose that’s not really all that important considering the real topic at hand here.
She's so much more beautiful without all those petty, arbitrarily drawn lines all over her continents.
