I am living testament to this.. i have blagged my way into several jobs (had some knowledge but not the qualifications required) and have done pretty well for myself learning as I go. I always say "Just treat me as if i know nothing, I won't be offended, i want to learn the way you do things here" and employers/managers seem to love that..

However i must stress the fundamental knowledge was essential. along with an interest and desire to learn.

Me neither. I just like that its something slightly different. Looks like the owner put their own influence on the design. I'd happily live there!

But does it really count when you're asleep by 5pm?

Just start with freeleech torrents until you build your ratio. On my tracker, any torrent over 10gb does not count towards your download so everything uploaded from it is a bonus. For example, if you' downloaded starfield today, by the end of the week you would probably have a decent amount of upload credit (its 90gb and people leeching constantly).

Pair this with a few of the most popular TV seasons and you're set. Just leave those torrents seeding forever and you have little to worry about. If any slow down, replace them with something fresh. After a couple weeks you will probably be at the point where you never need to consider your upload/download ratio again.!

Add your torrent client to windows startup so you have to remember to stop seeding, not to start seeding.

Buy a cheap 2TB HDD and seed forever.

Download things when you need them not just because you can Be smart, not greedy. Share back. It's really not that hard you just need self control.

Its also important to set up your torrent client properly, any good tracker will have a guide for this. Your upload won't count if it's not set up correctly, this is where a lot of people fall.

But be aware that most of these sites will ban you if you don't keep your ratio, but most will let you "donate" to get back in.

I'm not an expert but i'm happy to answer any questions.

Good luck!

Not always effective in a nightclub. I've had the door opened a few times by a bouncer assuming I'm doing drugs in there. They see you queuing for the stall for the 6th time that night they tend to get suspicious! Fair enough though because sometimes I was.

Or pull out your phone and use it as a distraction. 60% of the time, it works every time.

I suffered with this most of my life. Anxiety was the cause for me. My anxiety was diagnosed only recently for unrelated reasons but the treatment has had the fortunate side effect of fixing my shy bladder!

You can't pee if you aren't relaxed. You can't relax with debilitating anxiety.
