  • Would you support a mandatory retirement age of 75 for US House, US Senate & US Supreme Court Justices and if not why?
  • My parents are close to 65 and completely out of touch. If you turn 65 during your next term you should be ineligible.

  • How long is one obligated to keep a kid’s gift?

    If you buy someone’s kid a toy for their birthday or a holiday, how long before you’re not offended to find out it’s been chucked?

  • Lidl Announces Huge Increase In Plant-Based Food Sales
  • This is how my family is. I ate meat for every meal for every day of my life for damn near 30 years before I switched to vegetarian. The thought of eating meat makes me sick to my stomach after a few years as a vegetarian but sometimes I just feel like a breaded chicken patty and the plant based option scratches that itch.

  • Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is "underperforming", says industry analyst
  • Release it on PC then. Enough with the console exclusivity just to bitch that the game isn’t selling well.

  • Another GameBoy Bluetooth Controller
  • I want several of these.

  • Microsoft starts testing ads in the Windows 11 Start menu
  • I think it’s the same reason games offer a cash shop for things you can get in-game. Sure they’re making billions but why not billions plus ad revenue? I don’t agree with the practice but the answer always comes back to money.

  • EA Play Subscription Price Being Hiked By 80% in Some Regions
  • 180% of $0 is still $0. Sorry EA fans.

  • Thank you Chase Bank
  • It’s wild considering it was one of the most popular names for a while. There were 3 other Christophe’s in my class at one point.

  • Thank you Chase Bank
  • Every substitute teacher I ever had called me Christophe thanks to the school district’s character limit.

  • Employers added 303,000 jobs in March, soaring past expectations | The unemployment rate fell to 3.8 percent.
  • I’ve been applying for jobs since December and have received nothing but “Unfortunately,…” emails. My guess is the latter.

  • What is the stupidest school rule you've ever had to deal with?

    Switched to Linux and I think I'm going back to Windows.
  • I hopped between distros for a long time. Before writing Linux off I suggest giving MX-Linux a shot. I’ve been loving it. It’s super solid. My only issue with it is that I can’t seem to get the right power settings set for closing my laptop but it’s probably something I’m doing wrong.

  • Netease announce Marvel Rivals, a free-to-play 6v6 shooter that desperately wants to be superhero Team Fortress
  • Isn’t another word for “super hero Team Fortress” just “Overwatch”?

  • Upload is at 0. Losing my mind.

    To whom it may yoho:

    So I’ve got a linux server with Docker installed a a container with Deluge in it. I have 98 torrents currently in Active or Seeding status. My download and upload speeds are set according to my calculated rates for my speed test. Ports are set for incoming connections, that port is included in the Docker container config, allowed through the firewall on the server itself and forwarding set up on my router. I have 3 private trackers I’m testing with those 98 torrents and the torrents are a mix of high seeding demand torrents and just whatever I had sitting around. The only torrent out of 98 that are uploading anything is the Ubuntu torrent I’ve been using to see if it could be the private trackers.

    Speed test:

    Download speed is 347Mbps Upload speed is 23Mbps

    DNS settings are set to use 75.75.75.75 and 76.76.76.76 and 8.8.8.8 on my router. My server is set to use the router as the DNS.

    The 63430 port I’m using has been confirmed as open from external port checkers.

    I have tried using qbitorrent on a separate machine and have been running into the same problems so it sounds like it’s a network-wide issue.

    I am not behind a VPN (yet… though it sounds like it could be a requirement)

    This is my home network and I own the Gateway so any ISP shenanigans would be from outside the home.

    Does anyone have any suggestions? And is this the right place to ask?

    Thank you in advance! I’m running out of hair to tear out!

    Way late edit: In case anyone finds this in the future, my permissions were set incorrectly. The user that was running the torrent app didn’t have folder access…

    Stripped Screw Hole in Ceiling Advice

    I was hanging a ceiling fan in this room when I discovered that the mounting screw holes in the electrical box are stripped. My dad has suggested using JB Weld putty, letting it cure, drilling it out with a small bit and then using wood screws. First time homeowner and have neither the confidence nor the expertise to completely replace the box. Is my dad’s route the best course of action or is it a waste of time and/or dangerous to go that route?
