Yeah, Readarr is unfortunately the black sheep of the Arr stack. Ebook torrents are notorious for failing/stalling, and the Readarr team has had some major issues with their metadata server in the past year or so, meaning adding new authors/books is often impossible.

It can be nice for tracking what you’re missing, but I end up using manual searches for most of my ebooks. Ebooks tend to work best with direct downloads, (Z-Library, Anna’s Archive, etc) so an Arr service reliant on torrents is spotty, at best. It isn’t even actively being developed, and the devs still attached to the project have even said that it will likely stagnate and fall into disrepair unless a serious dev is willing to take over the project.

If anything, this is why allies are so important. It’s the ally’s job to be angry and loud when the victims can’t.

My father was frustratingly difficult to watch movies with, because of this exact thing. He would pause the movie to explain that the actor on screen had been in some other obscure movie a decade ago. It was especially bad if two actors had previously worked in the same project, because then he would start listing off other cast and crew they had worked with in the past.

Okay, great, please press Play. I just want to watch the goddamned movie.

He’d need to be in a country willing to do that. And thus far, he has only visited countries that have refused to arrest him, because they want to keep Israel as an ally.

They can’t just invade another country to arrest the leader. That’s the kind of shit that starts nuclear wars.

It also helps filter out all of the people who simply sort by “Free” and shotgun requests to every single post. Best case scenario, they show up, are chill, and you have the opportunity to go “eh ya know what, just take it for free.” But at least that way it’s not listed as “free” and deters all of the people dedicated to spamming the free posts.

This is extremely common as a sort of all-or-nothing negotiation tactic. They’re hoping that you’ll just go “ah well, I don’t want to bother with getting someone else out here. Just go ahead and take it for $300.” Basically, they’re hoping you’ll fall for the Sunk Cost fallacy, and let them have it for cheap.

I was actually going to suggest Red Dead Redemption 2. The English you learn may be a little bit dated (and have a heavy southern drawl) but you’ll learn a lot.

He didn’t do the crime, but he is ~~a hero~~ going to be martyred for it anyway.

FTFY. His heroism isn’t due to the fact that he did it; It’s due to the fact that he’s obviously being railroaded, and has decided to fight like hell instead of simply accepting it.

Also worth noting that breaker ratings are for instantaneous usage. A 15A 120v breaker can only actually support 12A of continuous usage. But it says 15, because most things use a little extra power when they first turn on. AC system spinning up the fans and compressor, for instance. Spinning things up takes more power than keeping it moving. If you put a 15A device on a 15A breaker, it would likely trip as soon as that device turned on. In that instance, you’d likely use a 20A breaker to support the 15A device instead. But that 20A breaker would also call for upgraded wiring and outlets which could support 20A.

This is caused by Imgur blocking your VPN or region, not Lemmy. Try switching VPN servers.

Yeah, this is the system working exactly as intended.

Alternate take: Billionaires are entitled and get grumpy when they get back exactly what they gave.

Imagine if the servant had invested the talent and failed to produce a profit. How angry would the billionaire have been? The servant took no risk, and protected the billionaire’s money. And instead of being happy that their money was protected, they got angry that the servant didn’t go out of their way to make the billionaire more.
