I already have two kids. Is it too late to adopt this lifestyle?

For day to day use I generally grab anything that I am interested in and leave it seeding indefinitely, or until I need to prune to free up some space.

If I need to boost ratio I grab something that is new and hot to seed for a bit. In general though, I try to seed things that have lower seeder counts so that they remain available. Many times these are not things that I am really interested in.

If you are not using any private trackers then I suggest you get on one and just be active. If there is a particular thing you are interested in then there is probably a tracker for it.

I also seed Linux ISOs but those are public so it doesn't help when it comes to ratio or anything. It's just a thing that I do because I can.

I recently watched Twisted Metal and it was pretty darn good. Who doesn't love cars with guns?

I'm in Alberta. Our UCP overlords are still investigating the serial arsonists that are starting all these fires. FFS, how can we have even a modicum of hope that we can do anything with meatballs like that in charge?

I was thinking this as well. If people won't click past the headlines then we are truly doomed.

I do think news not being on social media might not be a bad thing. I guess we'll have to see how it plays out.

This is such a BS law. It should be framed as paying for headlines, not news.

I have no love for Meta but I have to side with them on this one. This law makes no sense. People post headlines on social media and users click on those to go to the news outlet and read the article. In the end, the news outlet still gets the advertising revenue and the visits to their site.

That is a good way to explain it. Well done.

I saw right of the bat that people were having problems with the game crashing often. I want it but for $90 I'll wait until it's patched.

Verstappen has gotten boring. He's a great driver, no doubt, with a great car. It will be interesting to see how many races they can win this year.

The real race excitement is for the other two podium spots. Norris and Piastri both had great races. It would have been nice to see Piastri get that third place finish.

All in all it was an enjoyable race and Verstappen had to work a little for it this time.
