This one gets weirder the more you look. There’s the guy typing on an imaginary keyboard (or using an invisible mouse), the fact that no-one really has any eyes, or that dark character who’s got some device suspended in front of his face?

I’m guessing the chairs and mechanical bits were scavenged, but the outer shell was taken off first which is what we’re seeing.

A tiny fraction of their users paying upfront (remember opportunity cost of money) is hardly going to doom them to insolvency.

Look at this way - investors give money to a company now to receive money later. They risk capital now in exchange for future rewards. Lifetime subscribers pay a large fixed amount now to receive free service later. Same thing.

I do miss that really detailed block download page, but that’s only cos I’d watch it instead of doing something useful with my life.

(You posted this 10 hours ago!? How did I miss it?)

Love to see some more OC here!

So this is on Prince Patrick Island? I can’t imagine how cold it is up there at 76° latitude (not that it looks too cold in your picture).

I love Art Deco too. I’ve been to the Atlas Bar in Singapore which is amazing.

That link 404s for me, is it all there?

Ah, it’s at https://www.amsterdamsights.com/nightlife/tuschinski.html

Thanks! I’d originally found this under the name “Special k” but I discovered it’s Kelenföld and edited in some other links in as you were posting.

Perhaps some Youtube’s done a video on it… I feel like I’ve seen a headline or link saying something like “Why Paul is underrated” recently.

I didn’t know there was an extended version, do the extra 6 minutes add anything? Maybe not

I’d guess Germany, since it’s a VW and the artist is German, but I couldn’t find anything authoritative saying the location.

This should be be a local link for most: !opencracks@lemmy.dbzer0.com

catch and release

Brilliant phrase! I’m an archiver myself partly because it takes me ages to watch things, and partly because some things get returned to again and again. I could definitely do with a cull, but it’s easier to commit to more storage.

Yeah, it’s not very clear, sorry. I’ve edited.

It was $2 million in supplies and materials for the city, but the total venture lost him ten times that.

To be honest, that’s an AI summary of the Portuguese post. I clearly didn’t check it properly before posting and I don’t know much about Ford himself.

Remember Hanlon’s Razor.

e: The Portuguese post seems to be largely based on this Guardian article, that also describes it as utopian:

Ford believed fair treatment would make his workers more responsible citizens and, in the process, solidify a client base for manufacturers. The Rev Samuel Marquis, one the heads of Ford’s employee relations office, once proclaimed that Ford’s cars were “the by-products of his real business, which is the making of men”.

But some of Ford’s social ideas were highly sinister – most notoriously his anti-semitism, which featured prominently in a newspaper he himself printed, the Dearborn Independent.

Good question. I assume it’s DHT delivering peers that aren’t in the tracker(s), or maybe a problem with the tracker(s).

The format’s “# connected (# total)” in every client I’ve seen.

I’m out of the loop here, what’s this about?

Handbrake isn’t recommended any more? That’s what I’d used for my ripping. By original quality, you mean extracting the the mpeg-2 or just that Handbrake did bad transcoding?

Unless you want engagement! 90% of these comments are about the missing comma.

If you have all the original, unedited files you downloaded (this might mean multi-part rar archives) can either point your BT client at the location or move/copy them to where your client expects them.
I tend to add the torrent making sure it doesn’t start, do a manual recheck to check it’s working as expected, then start the torrent.

If you have main file(s) only e.g. .mkv but not the .nfo and there are other seeders you can do the same as above and it’ll re-download - so in my example the block that contains the .nfo along with some of the .mkv will be downloaded. I tend to copy the files over, just in case but I don’t think that’s actually ever been necessary for me.

Another option is to have the file you care about and have the SRR file to restore the files to the downloaded state - adding .nfo files but it can also put the files back into those annoying rar archives. This way you can be the only seeder without having too many extra files hanging around. These are quite rare though.

Yup, this is me with scp. Well, it would be if I didn’t just use asterisks to avoid that PITA.
