Wanted a game, back then wasn’t available in my country unless I travelled 3 hours to a city that had one store that had the game, also was too expensive and no way I would’ve convinced parents to spend it on game. Shores of high sea are always at your doorstep.
At least for games, I check how big is the dev team, anything bigger than 30 then pirate Then I check if owner of the development studio is public company, if yes then pirate Then I check if owner owns more than one development studio, if yes then pirate Then I check how many games studio has released, if more than 10, pirate Then I check how many copies have been sold on steam, more than 1m, pirate
If a game dev team fails all above checks, I will still pirate first, but if i enjoy pirated copy, I’ll buy the game to support the dev.
Agreed, also the .part file can be played in VLC as well, it’s the same thing as copy pasting the link in VLC though, but this way you can keep the file.
To answer your question in short , is it safely possible? No.
From your replies it seems your ISP is active against piracy. If budget is tight I recommend, use seedr.cc it gives you 2gb free and it torrents on your behalf, so you’re legally safe. Also you can extend seedr.cc to 4gb as WELL without paying. Dm me if you want to know how.
I know it’s not enough for big games and stuff, but most TV shows and movies you can find decent 1080p rips within that.
Anything else will require some investment/cost.
Amen
Why is this funny, why am I laughing
Yes but no copies is an error. So better to support the ones we have left.
Profits. Revenue was close to 200b
Considering how strict he is, doubt they’re getting out of prison soon.
Yeah i dont understand some things. I support gender transition and LGBTQ community with all my heart, but I myself supporting it for adults, 10-11yo kids are stupid af. Unless there is a scientific way to objectively determine gender (which I don’t think is possible) we shouldn’t allow children or stupid parents that think they know their child from fucking up their future.
Would we take opportunity from a genuine trans person to transition relatively easily, sure. But i can’t see myself supporting it if it also comes with a massive chance of messing up straight kids that are figuring their shit out that about their sexuality. My one nephew thought he was supposed to be a girl for a year straight when he was 13 to the point doctor were concerned. He’s 18 now and as comfortable with his body and his penis as it gets I guess. And my cousin who recently started feeling like a guy after her long ftm transition, he is 28 now, he says she knew at 13 that “she didn’t feel like a she and should be a he”.
So should I let my nephew delay his puberty because I also know my cousin wouldn’t have to go through the fucked up period he went through?
I don’t know, I think solution is to be accepting of people who want to change as adults and leave the kids alone.
No, you should ignore these types of posts though.
I think these days that’s the rule, if it piques your interest but you have some trouble understanding headline, you may just click on the article

I mean i get your argument, but super-critical plants can only serve baseload, they need 48 hours to prime and can generally not operate below 50% capacity, they do yield very high efficiency though.
But I’m not sure where this discussion is going.
Coal power can’t really be used for on-demand scenarios, as coal fired power plants have massive startup costs and also time. Compared to a gas-turbine that can do a cold boot up to maximum production in 15 minutes. Coal needs about 4-5 hours to come to full power and that is with the best expensive technology we have not necessarily technology that is in use. Also coal plants take about 2 hours to shutdown and about 20 hours to be ready to be fired again. It’s just a limitation that we can’t overcome from complications due to coal being a solid fuel.
So whatever coal China has it must be using for baseload, they must have more alternatives if their coal fired capacity is decreasing.
EDIT: adding more context, so I have been hearing this coal as peak load instrument for a while now, so I decided to dig deeper on who is claiming this and why? So there are two claims in this space out there 1st being that for larger plants that can operate at sub 20% capacity can scale between sub20% to 100% in minutes making them useful for peak load, and that is just stupid argument as whatever minimum they are running it is still baseload.
Other argument is actual redisgn of plants that allow for quick cycling, but technology is new and they can cycle even 4x in a day, but they operate at relatively less efficiency and also since they don’t ever go cold they start plants semi hot, they can’t clean the boiler with forced draft, leading to increased maintenance cost during full cleanup shutdown significantly and also they deal with thermal stress a lot more leading to increased cost of wear and tear. Seems like only CGS has been able to operate using this model and their gen capacity is only 480mW so seems like a proof of concept idea than actual possi ility of turning coal into peak load.
But at least it looks possible with some research, contrary to my previous opinion that it’s not possible at all, but seems to be still years before it can reach baseload efficiency and last thing we want to do is run coal at worse efficiency.
I wonder who’s downvoting this
No it also means it’s a service problem in the sense that it’s not priced right for a geography. Pricing a game $70 where local average monthly income is $120 a month is a service problem. If you expect people from that geographic region to pay, the product should be priced within their means. And thus argument is valid only for digital goods where every new copy of the said goods costs mere few cents.
Wow what a spam discussion, posting same thing from the original post again.
Problem with Modi is not his failures. Problem is with opposition parties that are willing to stick to inaction, refuse to abandon Gandhi Family elitism, keep face of opposition a person that gets basic facts wrong on a weekly level. If I was in India voting, I don’t even know if I have an alternative.
CPI, BSP, SP, AITC, TDP are all worse than INC. NCP still better but can’t get to national politics and AAP that promised a different more new-age way of governing is now governing basis the same useless policies, leaves me hopeless.
So if not BJP then who? Thank god i guess i don’t have to vote.
Sometimes I wonder if my instance will defederate from lemmygrad, I have hope.
