Losses, per the site's analysis, include destroyed, damaged, and captured vehicles.

How about "ran out of fuel so ditched it on the side of the road and a farmer towed it away" ones? Unless that's just considered "captured"

I'm neither a cop nor a secret service agent, but I would expect that they cooperate to some degree at least on these events. Doesn't even need to be much, just stand a cop with a radio next to an agent with a radio somewhere so they can immediately pass on information to each other and relay it to their respective colleagues. Armed shooter sighted on roof seems like a worthy bit of intel to wanna pass along.

If they don't have the means to relay information to each other.. that seems rather shortsighted on both sides.

It doesn't eliminate the smell, but air purifiers can reduce it significantly. We have a decent one in the room where the litters are that turns on on a schedule. It's a bit annoying that if the cats use the litter just when it's turning off then it's kinda no use.

My long term plan if I ever get around to it is to build a cupboard type thing to put their litter in with an extractor fan to the outside.

Litter robots could help, but all the people I know who have them said they just replace some issues and chores with other issues and chores in the end.

I could see them let it go on after a report - I'd expect they get a lot of threats and possibly fake reports too.

But for the rest.. yea.. as soon as he was sighted the security detail should have been on the move to cover trump.

Considering how people get shot for looking like they are thinking of a weapon when near the cops, it's shocking that the counter snipers didn't immediately shoot him once he aimed the gun at the officer.

Scary read, honestly. I'm shocked she's only got 8 years so far considering she started grooming a 14 year old for essentially slavery. The summary of their interview with her in the end absolutely paints an unhinged psychopath - as if her actions weren't enough already.

I can't imagine the state of mind her victims had to be in to hand over 10s of thousands of dollars a month and somehow still not consider that they have the means to escape.

Kudos to the lady who managed to get away early and pursued the issue so the others could be rescued in the end, but ffs if only the law enforcement believed her earlier so much suffering could have been avoided...

Yeah, I know that now but none of us knew how to handle the situation then. I've learned since then to read up on the rights i will have in countries I plan on visiting.

It's a shame that we pay our taxes only to have to invest even more energy into protecting ourselves from the system that's built with our money (I've found this to be true to different degrees in most countries unfortunately).

When we pulled over he came over and asked for license and reg, we immediately asked why we got stopped and he said routine check, then proceeded to ask us a bunch of questions about where we are driving from, where to, why etc. I would not answer those now, but we didn't know about how things go in the US then so we did. He didn't get anything out of it luckily.

It's such a contrast from Europe. I had the cops called on me once in the UK (and they also don't have a great reputation) as I drank too much and somehow got stuck in someone's garden knocking on their window at like 3am to let me out.

Cops came, ID'd me, asked what I was doing there and helped me climb out/half pulled me out then gave me a ride home. I remember them just having a laugh at me being stupid due to being drunk. I asked them if they could cuff me cuz I wanted to know what it's like and they said no because they didn't want me to hurt myself by falling over or something. I also asked if we could go through the McDonald's drive through when we went by one on the way and offered to bribe them with a happy meal but they just chuckled and told me they can't do that unfortunately. One of them walked me up to my flat and made sure I got in safe before leaving. Granted I wasn't arrested or anything, but it felt like a positive experience and I woke up feeling thankful for them having been there the night before.

To contrast, I've once been pulled over in the US with friends and even though the cop didn't do or say anything wrong, I distinctly remember feeling like his tone and demeanor was challenging (as if he wanted us to argue with him or something). We were let go without a ticket or anything in the end, all he said when we asked why we were pulled over is that it's a routine check. It felt like a very negative experience and from what it sounds like, it's as good as it could have gone in the US.

While I understand the content on medium is different per author, I associate it with poor quality content. It may pop up in search results, but I actively avoid the results because of the association. Point being, the exposure you get may not be the type you want.

Also don't forget your content will be subject to the user experience medium decides to provide. I think it's already subpar with it being full of popups and prompts to register and pay for an account, but consider how companies constantly enshittfy. You are giving away the control of how you are represented.

So they filled reddit with bot generated content, and now they're selling back the same stuff likely to the company who generated most of it.

At what point can we call an AI inbred?

[-] [email protected] 51 points 3 months ago

Agree that it's misleading, but to add there is another significant concern given how glassdoor is already "pay to win" from the companies perspective: they could just offer identifying the users as a paid service.

It would be digging their own grave if that starts happening, but that doesn't seem to be stopping many companies..

Maybe it's me but the tone of the article reads to me like "the issue is solar pumps, they're depleting groundwater reserves" whereas the point seems to be more that pumping groundwater is ungoverned and access to it is now easier than ever, thanks to solar powered pumps.

Unfortunately, doesn't change that the issue exists.

I currently have a very comfortable lil home server with the arrs and plex (would like jellyfin but it's not there yet for me, currently fielding emby given how Plex is going), basically all sources are usenet.

I'm nearing a point where I either have to delete some stuff or expand space, which is not cheap, and some of my older drives are likely due for some failures too. So after seeing the popularity of debrid I've been wondering if it'd be worth to instead spend the money on it, but would like to ask some questions. I spend maybe around $70/year on the various bits for Usenet and I expect I'd have to spend around an average of $80/year on drives for just expanding storage (obviously assuming I don't just delete stuff). And that's with avoiding 4k just for storage reasons (my internet could take the streaming tho)

Even just the price of Usenet seems to be more than the price of a debrid subscription though and from what I understand I'd not need new disks with it either.

From what I understand debrid is a shared download space for Torrents/direct downloads where if someone adds something it's available for everyone (presumably it gets deleted if noone accessed it for some time and would have to be re-downloaded?). It's possible to mount the content via WebDAV to make it accessible to clients/media servers to stream directly from debrid.

My questions are..

  1. Is there still a point to sonarr/radarr with debrid?
  2. How is the quality? (both in terms of media quality and in terms of file organisation so things are discoverable and accurate, e.g. chances of things explicitly named wrong so you think you're about to watch Brooklyn 99 and instead get porn)
  3. I would likely go the path of using zurg and keeping with Plex/emby - any experience with how well does this work (any recommendations for or against)? What's the mechanism for picking what is available in the mounts to the media server.. or is it just.. everything on debrid?
  4. I don't really use any torrents at the moment, from what I understand that's primarily how you get things on debrid. Would I have to start looking for good trackers to get content or is there no need because chances are someone will have downloaded/shared most things?
  5. I guess, am I assuming this works very differently to how it actually does? Any experience from people who did the swap from Usenet/arrs to some debrid + media server?

Many questions in a wall of text, I'd be grateful for any answers to any of them! Thanks!
