Jane Street Capital lost like $100m 8 years ago assuming this would happen and it didn't.

I've started reading the somewhat expansive Cosmere universe of books by Brandon Sanderson.

I like actually reading, but there is a LOT to get through, so I'm reading the series (a couple trilogies, a series of 5 books) in actual print, and listening to the standalone novels in the universe on audio.

It's actually been a nice day to keep moving through all the different overlapping character lines. One particular character, who I'll call H, spans the various worlds and stories often. It's fun reading something about H in one book and then hearing him as the narrator or showing up as a character in the audio book I'm listening to later.

"You're too hard to hug."

I'm a muscular dude. This was a complaint from a woman I knew. It was not a compliment, she genuinely refused to hug me when we greeted each other.

SSX Tricky brought up to PS5 graphics.

This is a very odd and out of touch comment with what the game currently is and what is being produced by the devs. Have you even played it recently? All the new Varlamore region stuff is aimed at early and midgame players.

And yes, the game progresses towards grinding endgame encounters... Like every single MMO ever. If you're friend is a maxed out account farming for ultra rare drops, I don't think you can say that what he is doing is "the content the game has to offer for people". What would you prefer instead? What do you think it should be like, if not this?

This comment is the most messed up thing I've seen on the internet.

I'm done with this thread now.

Great, I guess, but this is in no way a question.

I flew into Boston from Europe three weeks ago.

I also flew into NYC from Europe earlier this year.

They use images of your face and biometrics. This is how travel works. It has nothing to do with how civilized you think you are.

Have you flown international lately? This is what it looks like to land in the international terminal in most major US airports as well.

You forgot apathy. That's what works for me.

Either is better than Nord. Definitely drop Nord.

Hulu. Best collection of shows for me, right now.

Spotify. I listen to music constantly, it's a necessity.

Libro.fm for audiobooks, and supporting my local book store.

My gym membership (lumping Zwift in there too). I exercise a lot, like 15+ hours per week. These are part of my chosen lifestyle.

Opensnow. The only phone app I pay for. It's a weather app but better if you're a skier/snowboarder.

RuneScape. I love OSRS and I enjoy playing in my downtime. I'm an adult, I can do what I want.

 

I torrent to a seedbox, and said seedbox has great access tools and you can install plenty of useful applications like Resilio Sync, Syncthing, etc.

My local server is running Fedora Server OS. I'd like to get an automated 1-way sync up and running, but I'm having a lot of trouble. I was using Syncthing in the past, but it's really not meant for one way syncs and caused some issues. I've been trying to set up Resilio Sync, but on Linux I cannot figure out how to get access to the web UI. Resilio's own documentation is frustratingly obtuse - it's great for setting up the service under systemd but then basically has nothing about how to actually get webui access from another machine on the local network, excrot for a reference to a command that doesn't actually exist.

If anyone either 1) knows how to set up Resilio Sync on a Linux machine such that I can hit the web UI from another machine on my local network or 2) had a better way to set up 1-way sync between my seedbox and my local server, I would love to learn!
