Not exactly the same as your example but I love getting hard to find stuff and then putting it out there for the public to get.

I'm mainly talking soulseek here but within my preferred music genre there is a lot of elitism and manufactured rareness of tracks what with a lot of vinyl only releases with minimal pressings or digital downloads that are only available for x amount of hours, that kind of bullshit.

This then promotes this culture on soulseek of people locking all their files out to everyone so you need to either trade things or a lot of them will ask you to buy specific releases or send them bandcamp gift cards and the like, to me this goes against the very nature of piracy and really boils my piss.

I love to get access to these people files and getting as much as I can, or ripping vinyl only tracks where I can for myself or buying these "limited" digital tracks when they come up and I have the money (less often these days) and then just sharing them with no locks or trading bullshit.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is it is really satisfying (for me at least) to share this harder to get stuff that people aren't going to find anywhere else and even better a massive fuck you to the elitism and manufactured scarcity within the genre. If you are a soulseek user with locked files reading this, fuck you!

Also torrents are pretty easy to make. I use deluge and qbittorrent and there are options in both of those to create a torrent. You will need a tracker to link to, free ones can be found, then it is just a case of pointing to the files on your computer and it'll create the torrent file for you.

I meant of the ratchet :D

Durian fruit. That is the most vile thing I have ever tasted and the after taste lasted for like 5 hours.

That shit is fucking evil.

Not forgotten by me, I played through the majority of Final Fantasy 9 on my Xperia Play back when phones were transitioning from interesting to the shit we have today.

Haha thanks although I'm kind of pissed off having finished that hundredth book after posting this.

The character I wanted to return ended up not doing so at the end of the book but not only that they killed off another person who could have possibly joined up with their band of people. It has happened quite a few times now and after so many books it would be nice if they added in another companion but instead the authors seem to be too scared to add any additional characters to to regular roster which is quite frankly frustrating as fuck.

They always kill off potential additions in the most pathetic manner and after so many hours it would be a nice addition to just change things up slightly, I don't want a constant rotation of characters but a breath of fresh air would be nice!

So I have started "The Eyre Affair" which is the first book in a series I think is called Thursday after Next. A few hours in and it is interesting so far!

I watched Beau Is Afraid on acid and it was a fucking wild ride, loved it!

I have hit a mile stone, I'm just coming to the end of book 100 of Deathlands. A character that left around 50 books ago has returned in this one and I have been waiting for his return!

I've been thinking about it and that is about 650 hours or so of Deathlands in the last year and a half and I'm still enjoying it a lot! I think after this one however I may slip a couple of other books in.

The Sunlit Man is the last book I need to read out if his 4 "secret" books, still on the to do list :D

Same, I grew up next to some woods so they must have always been around but they particularly remind me of being up early, walking to school or doing a paper round. Easier times xD

OMG, I'm in love! XD

I love the sound of woodies, it reminds me of my childhood!

Same as, one I was past regularly is at least 100mm high, if not a bit more and where they have the cable stretched from their house to the car the cable is often lifting up either or both ends of it to almost make it float.

I fucking hate it with a passion xD

I guess that depends where you live, living in a city there are people walking around my area at all times of day and night and in lower light these obstructions become even more of a hazard. Even outside of the hours you suggest, half of the year it is pretty dark from as early as 3pm. If kids are out before that time going to school on their scooters and skateboards as well they may not have the ability to recognise the danger these things pose and think they could roll over them which is going to end badly 8 out of 10 times where the wheels jam and stop but their body carries on going.

I will admit that what you have described sounds better than a lot of the massive ones I see around where I live but the problem is the majority of people aren't considerate at all and think that it is their god given right to slap a cable with a massive hump over it and not consider that not everyone can navigate that hump.

I agree that there can be some consideration given from both sides of this argument to make sure that people are able to charge their cars as they are choosing a more environmentally friendly method of transport but also not at the expense of everyone using the footpaths and thus we come back around to making proper infrastructure so that paths are unobstructed and people could charge their cars without the cable from their house.

I do appreciate that you have at least thought about your application and have got something that is as shallow as possible unlike a lot of people near to me however :D
