I would never install this into Firefox but I do want to point out that a lot of pirate stuff is hosted in Russia these days because they can ignore takedown requests

I'm early 30s and my wife is pregnant with our first.

Before I met her 5+ years ago I had no interest in kids, not to the point of considering a vasectomy but I didn't want kids. I planned to travel and do your typical no responsibility shenanigans. It was clean pretty early on she wanted kids and that really got me thinking what I actually wanted out of life. I'm happy I didn't end it over kids and I'm super excited to go through this with not only her but a child. The plan is to have more than one and I'm 100% excited for this.

All of that being said, if things went differently, I'd still be happy living a no kids life. My opinion never really changed, I'm almost 99% sure I'll avoid other peoples kids but I'm also excited for mine.

Ottawa. I just stopped looking when the american ones started to show up, I found Canadian ones yesterday! Not sure if they're from BC or not.

Yeah, you can post pets there. I don't see any when I visit the site but they know me already. I only use it for tech and consoles. Not sure where else to buy/sell stuff locally that's not Facebook.

Can I lick my lips when I wink?

A website you post stuff to sell. Like Facebook Marketplace but you don't need to sell your soul to use it.

I miss Mexican blueberries. At some point in the last month all I can find are American blueberries so I'm going without.

I've also started buying a lot more used tech/tools off marketplace/kijiji/etc when I need something. If I can't buy Canadian I can still support Canadians.

Do you test public WiFi with ZeroTier at all?

I ask because there's a few public networks where WG won't connect and I'm trying to find ways around it. I could always use cell data but this is more fun to me.

I hate this so much. Let me send it to everyone I know.

I know this doesn't answer your question but I've never had this kind of problem with Usenet. I pay $35 USD a year and bought a couple "lifetime" memberships 6 years ago.

What others have said should help solve the problem with torrents. If you can, it might be worth getting an account with a private site.

Its not often I'm impressed by OC Transpo. I'm sure this will help people save a bit of money.

 

So, I'm pretty new at soldering and I'm looking for some advice on how to not ruin a via while removing solder...

I was trying to remove the solder from a original Xbox 1.0 motherboard and I burnt the shit out of a via and caused issues with several others.

I was able to fix it and everything is working but I want to do better.

I used a pointed tip, flux, and added some of my own solder to the via. I then cleaned, added new flux, and used solder wick to remove the solder. Some points, would NOT melt at all. I kept increasing the temp to 430°c and it finally melted and took everything with it.

Now, I know I fucked up and used too much heat. I probably should have used my rework station and a solder sucker but I JUST got the rework station and didn't want to popcorn the OG Xbox board... The solder wouldn't stay melted long enough from my iron for the sucker to work so I used wick.

 

Has anyone actually found the NSP/XCI somewhere?

I've found an update file but the base game doesn't seem to be anywhere I have access to.

 

Ontario Provincial Police in Ottawa caught a novice driver reaching speeds of 160 km/h on Highway 417 on Sunday morning.

An OPP spokesperson said officers stopped the G2 driver shortly before 9:30 a.m. near the Kanata Avenue exit.

The speed limit in the area is 100 km/h.

"This speed is never okay, but even more dangerous when you're an inexperienced driver," OPP said on social media site X.

The driver was charged with stunt driving and received an automatic 30-day driver's licence suspension and a 14-day vehicle impound.

If convicted, they will face a minimum $2,000 fine, six demerit points and a one year driving suspension.
