athos77, to piracy in E-Books, best places to get them?

The nice thing with MAM is that you can grab a torrent of groups of books, instead of downloading them individually.

athos77, to piracy in E-Books, best places to get them?

getting in is not very easy

Dafuq? They run interviews twice a week, and the questions are dead easy.

many torrents are behind a VIP-wall

Which you just have to wait a few weeks to get past the account age restriction and hand over a few bonus points, which are trivial to get. Just bookmark anything you can't get and have a little patience.

athos77, to piracy in Is there a place with the complete Doctor Who collection (Classic, Modern, AND spin-offs)?

I'll see if I can't put together a small collection of things for you to grab.

athos77, to newcommunities in 3D Print 4 Good - Mutual Aid Community

When covid came, the local 3D print clubs/maker communities got together and mass-printer a variety of ear savers for the full range of local healthcare workers and first responders, then expanded to essential workers like drug store and grocery workers, mail carriers and delivery persons. [It was a variety of styles for the ear savers, because different styles worked better for different people.] It was a great effort, and we remember and remain appreciative of the help and support our community gave us.

No, because (like so many other 1950's advertisements) this image is from the male viewpoint: he's relaxed in his lounger, perfectly content smoking a pipe and having a drink, while his wife is literally on display in front of him, cheerfully smiling and happy while she does the work and he stretches out watching her. In images like this, the male is assumed to be perfectly comfortable, and the comfort of the woman isn't considered much at all. [Why, yes, honey, I was perfectly happy wrangling the kids and their homework this afternoon, getting them and the house pristine for you coming home from work. I even had time to cook a full dinner from scratch, clean the kitchen, take a shower, do my hair and makeup and put on jewelry! Here, have a drink while I take your coat and briefcase and help you on with your slippers!]

I don’t think that person is ‘under-dressed’

He's sitting there in the full heat of the day, wearing a long sleeved shirt and full-length trousers and tall socks, perfectly comfortable in the sun.

She's sitting in an air conditioned bubble, wearing mid-arm sleeves, and mid-thigh shorts, at a time when Capri pants were considered fashionable yet still a bit scandalous.

If he's comfortable with full-length everything in the sun, she's definitely under-dressed in her air-conditioned bubble.

Nah, both posts came through in public. I've applied for an aussie.zone account. It's getting late here anyway, so I'll head to bed soon and come back tomorrow to see if it's approved.

If not (maybe your admin takes weekends off to enjoy the weather!) - I see that your account is five months old, maybe we could PM on reddit? We'll sort it out tomorrow, anyway :)

Can you try DMing me? (Not sure if you can, kbin had some issues with it earlier.)

athos77, to piracy in Is there a place with the complete Doctor Who collection (Classic, Modern, AND spin-offs)?

There are fan reconstructions of all the missing episodes, where they used the surviving audio recordings and laid in surviving video clips and John Cura's telesnaps - various scene, set, and costume photos that were taken for continuity. Some reconstructions also use animations or small home-filmed segments.

athos77, to piracy in Ways to pirate albums?

You can use mp3tag to rename/title/number/tag/whatever, the stuff you've already downloaded.

athos77, to piracy in Do you prefer private or public trackers?

Do they forbid sharing the content, or do they forbid sharing the torrents? If it's just the torrents, you can just create a public torrent with a different piece size and cross seed.

athos77, to piracy in Do you prefer private or public trackers?

The newbie blues for each private tracker are a definite thing, but once you get past that it's great. It also depends on which trackers you're on: the general trackers tend to have similar content as publics, but it's the specialty and niche trackers where privates really shine.

athos77, to asklemmy in How do you work full-time and stay awake all shift?

When I was working three jobs, I'd go take a nap in my car instead of eating lunch; a thirty-minute nap kept me going for the rest of my shift. I'd have a granola bar for lunch while walking to/from the car.

athos77, to piracy in Ways to pirate albums?

Have you tried freedb? It's had the majority of albums I've needed to tag, even stuff like female blues artists of the 1920's. I tagged and renamed the files on about 300 albums in a couple hours, so for me, yeah, it was a manual process but it was still quicker and easier than searching for and re-downloading a similar number of albums. But you do you - it's your music!

There's some interesting information on early radiophones here.
