You can use tools like Staxrip and MKVToolNix to REMUX A/V content into other containers.

So if your TV shows are windows media files or divx files and the TV doesn't play those containers you may be able to bulk rebuild them as a different format without reencoding the files actual content.

Some file contents won't work in some containers though, so YMMV.

Also, some TVs or basic file players like those found on TVs can't read files burried too far down a file tree, or with long names. So consider moving a TV Show to a higher level if needed, like 'drive/GOT S01' vs 'drive/the shows/game of thrones/season 01/s01e01/' .... You get the drift.

Enigk eh, been a minute.

Saw SDRE at the Paramount in Seattle not long after that came out.

Possible correction: it may have been The Moore Theater. It was a long time ago now, I def went to the Paramount for something around that time, but The Moore's interior looks more correct according to my memory of the design, seating, and stage.

I've seen warnings like that when a sites certs expire. Well maintained sites don't usually let that happen, but I've seen it plenty for torrent sites. It's usually fixed in a few hours or a day.

Like others said, it could also be the ISP, so you can try a VPN, even a free one would probably do, if that was the issue.

You can also try resetting cached data for that site specifically. How to do that is different per browser, search online for more info specific to your browser.

Also--there's always more--if you live with somebody and they say you need to clean up a mess, right then is the time to do it. Unless you are making food at that moment or are in the middle of something really important, like tending to a wound, or putting out a fire.

At that moment your companion is being your reminder, so make use of that opportunity!

You can also create that opportunity by asking somebody in your life who is good at managing things to come over occasionally and help guide you. Not do it for you. Just look over a space and give you direction, then hang out and keep you company.

Have a few drinks or buy them dinner after.

A lot of folk are embarrassed by their messes, but as long as you're not inviting a nagging judgemental nasty mother-in-law type over, I think you'll be suprised how understanding your friends and family can be when you admit you know your ADHD is holding you back but step-up and ask for direction occasionally with cleaning.

Get guidance per problem, apply solutions when able, don't beat yourself up when you slip up, that's going to happen, just re-apply the solution when you realize your slacking at that thing again.

To-do lists and guides and reminders are really the best, but still most will fall out of the habit and have to dig back in periodically.

Reminders get skipped, distractions will happen. It's okay. That's normal for you (and most people actually). But keep the reminders and guides and lists anyway, everytime you encounter them there's another opportunity to accomplish something.

If you realize you've slacked off cleaning, for example, and you have a detailed checklist for deep cleaning each room, you can right then grab the list off the clipboard on your wall and start working through as much as you can before you get distracted or have to sleep or whatever.

If it's all broken out onto little things it'll be less daughting, just hyper focus on that one thing until it's done, if possible. Then move onto the next if you have time still.

Don't kick yourself if you get sidetracked and clean up some clothes in your bedroom after picking up a sweater from the living room, instead of finishing in the living room, as long as you're still plugging away at cleaning some you are doing fine.

And you don't have to do everything all right now.

There's probably too much to do for that to be a reasonable expectation anyway.

And there's no right order, except if you notice you don't have any clean clothes or dishes or TP or food at the moment, then probably prioritize addressing those things first.

You can buy cleaning and chore checklist online. And there are daily journals designed for peeps with ADHD that have spaces for a few check list items, spaces to log positive reflections, chore or cleaning suggestions.

You can go through them in advance and add occasional reminders for tasks you know you forget. Or you can try filling out a couple things for tomorrow before bed today. Try different things. And whatever works best for you, or works at the moment, that is great. 

If you use any of this, remember it doesn't have to be every day. Just keep the tool accessible, mount them on the wall or dedicate a space where they are less likely to get burried, use them as much as you can, and forgive yourself for missing days or taking breaks, or misplacing them.

That stuff happens. It is okay.

A non-profit community service.

We need an international digital media co-op library.

Anyone can upload/donate their digitally owned content and share ownership with the community... Or people can pool funds with the community and it can buy digital content as a non-profit co-op with shared ownership and access. Then use private torrents to decentralize data hosting and improve streaming to members.

Imagine Netflix as a non-profit digital library.

Movies, TV shows, eBooks, magazines, and music.

Maybe Cuba would be willing to host it's main office?

Tax payer money!

There's at least one town in Florida too, but I won't name it, it's a closely kept secret.

I'm jealous of all y'all who know why you got bans.

I've gotten warning and temp bans, but they never specify why. They never include the content. Just saying promoting this or that is very unclear, like how, when, where? Did I actually?

I always just ignore them and carry on on alts for a while.

Their shit is so stupid. But there's a lot of useful content on Reddit. I still hit up old house and DIY type groups, cause I own an old house, and specific tech groups because of the tech I use, but I don't miss the rest.

Love your icon, BTW.

There is definitely a noticable difference between criminals that have confidence and those that try to run and hide.

The brazen ones are usually easier to catch.

If I ran for any office I would literally accept all donations, and not concern myself at all with where any of it came from. I'd have no private meetings or dinners with donors, spend no time talking to lobbyists.

I'd just treat every dollar the same and focus on what it's being used for.

It doesn't seem logical not to take your oppositions money if they are going to give it freely. That's their mistake to make.
