Chainweasel, (edited ) to piracy in so this might be a little embarrassing, but how do I create a torrent and upload to a tracker?

It’s the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett with original narrators (Stephen Briggs and Nigel Planer).
Audible has been replacing them with new narrators, and they switch narrators several times every few chapters in each book. There’s still some of the originals around on audible but they’re slowly replacing them one at a time. It was difficult to find a complete collection and all in good quality from torrent sites before.
I’ve ripped them directly from the CDs so it’s (mostly) great quality with the exception of a few that were converted from older tapes. And all the extras like the science of discworld books and a collection of short stories by Pratchett too.

He was also a prisoner of war at this time and was rented out by the office of Indian affairs for events, like parades and fairs.

Chainweasel, to asklemmy in Lemmy, recommend me a good budget Android phone please

Well, in my opinion the fingerprint sensor is far superior for one. Other than that it’s a little smaller than current generation phones but I think it’s a more manageable size than the current generation

Chainweasel, to asklemmy in Lemmy, recommend me a good budget Android phone please

Get a flagship phone from a generation or two ago, I’m still using my Pixel 5 and I love this phone and they’re dirt cheap at the moment, both new and refurbished, because it’s 3 generations behind

Chainweasel, to asklemmy in Do people become less of a twat as they age?

The existence of both “Boomers” and the “Me Generation” is enough evidence to prove that it’s a solid “sometimes”

Chainweasel, (edited ) to asklemmy in What event did you miss that saved your life

A similar situation myself, I was supposed to go see a concert at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio in 2004, but backed out because I was a senior in high school and my parents refused to let me skip school on a Thursday to go to a concert 2hrs away on a Wednesday night.
There was a shooting that night that killed Dimebag Darrell.

Chainweasel, to asklemmy in The new Reddits

I’ve tried it and honestly it’s just way too empty for me, and they like it that way. It feels like they’re isolationists and very slow moving. Not a bad place overall and great if you want a low energy environment that’s more fixated on community engagement than memes, but the engagement is days apart and and there’s not a ton of active users. The site layout is almost exactly the same as old Reddit and it feels familiar in that respect, but it’s not a good time waster if you check your phone a lot.

Chainweasel, to asklemmy in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

There’s a few things that I follow that do have communities here, but little to no engagement in those communities. I’ll occasionally get on to look at those subreddits for updates, but I don’t have an account anymore so I don’t log in and I don’t engage with the communities. I also use RES so they don’t get any of my advertising revenue. Someone had linked a read only Reddit client before but I can’t remember what it was, If anyone does remember let me know so I can switch to that.

Chainweasel, to asklemmy in Okay, how do I block all this meme stuff?

It’s usually in the sidebar just like it was on Reddit. Also make sure that you’re only viewing your subscribed communities instead of “All” which is the default setting I believe.

Chainweasel, to asklemmy in Okay, how do I block all this meme stuff?

Support content seems to be most of what’s posted here now. It’s mind boggling really. A huge number of us are Reddit refugees and AskReddit was always about community engagement and not about support. I really don’t know what makes people think this is any different.

Chainweasel, to asklemmy in Okay, how do I block all this meme stuff?

Unsubscribe from the community. I did it this morning myself. It’s out of control and I had to scroll 2-3 pages before I found literally any content that wasn’t just a shitpost circlejerk meme.

Chainweasel, to asklemmy in Is water denser at the bottom of the ocean?

Yes. Some things I haven't seen mentioned yet:

Although water can't be compressed there's a few other factors.

  1. Density changes with temperature, and it's a lot colder at the bottom then the top.
  2. There are air bubbles in the water, all of it. Although atmospheric air mixing by waves is unlikely to make it all the way to the bottom, biology produces gases via several different methods and gas can be compressed, which reduces the space between water molecules and increases the density.
Chainweasel, to asklemmy in You can have any superpower, but the first person to reply chooses a side effect

You conserve your angular momentum, so if you move at all in latitude the earth we'll be moving at a different speed. It would be like stepping out of a moving vehicle onto the freeway but a whole lot faster.

Chainweasel, to asklemmy in You can have any superpower, but the first person to reply chooses a side effect

Having unlimited power means you control everything. You have no time to enjoy your power because you're constantly making sure the laws of physics stay and balance so the universe doesn't dissolve.
