What percentage of automobile tires fail?

At least tires sometimes give warnings that they're going to fail, such as a slow leak or tread wearing down. Hard drives might give a warning of impending death by making odd noises, but usually just die.

I think in both cases you're just plain lucky if you get advanced warning!

@tobert0 said in BLM is a racist organization:

P.S.2: I love reading all the debates you and @bi4smooth have here, they are really interesting.

Awww.. thanks! (at least from me)...

BLM is about the generalized abuse of (and taking of) black lives - regardless of who commits the crimes.

That said, they cannot "cover" every incidence of police misconduct... in part, because here in the US at least, the conduct (misconduct) is so widespread. So, just like the cop on the side of the road who seems to ignore the people going 10 MPH over the speed limit, but pulls out to tag the guy in the red corvette going 8 MPH over.... you choose your targets and try to make them make an impression on others!

LOL So you know, I got nabbed doing just 8 MPH over the posted limit in my little-red 1990 Mazda MX-6 GT (long time ago!) and was told by the cop that he picked me because it would make more of an "impact" on the other drivers seeing ME pulled over... Not fair, but then LIFE isn't fair!

I also wanted to add (just as a warning to folks who post their own homemade videos online, expecting them to remain private)...

DMCA applies to copyrighted works - as-in professional works that have been protected by filing copyright notices with the Gov't.

If your friend's homemade fuck-video with his boyfriend got stolen from his Facebook or something, he's got no real legal justification for getting it taken down - even if he is the author and/or star of the video!

I believe many sites like "OnlyFans" actually DO copyright their content for the benefit of their subscribers... but that starts to get "deep" into legal issues... and I am NOT a lawyer! My knowledge of Copyright law in the US comes from an MBA program... let's just say MORE THAN 20 years ago... and my own experience with source code copyrights...

I would choose the first one: "Having sex in a semi-public place and possibly being discovered".

Would you have group sex or just with your partner (if you have one)?

On a daily basis? just my partner... for a one-off? I LOVE group sex!

Would you rather:

• have sex while partially (or fully) in-costume, or
• take off all clothes to have sex?

@dvt

Not sex, but jerking off and a blowjob, yes

Have you ever had sex in a disco/pub?

This is supposed to be "This or That" - not "Have you ever"

So collecting from the previous few posts:

• I have had sex on the beach (the sandy one, not the drink)
• I have had sex in a club (on-stage, actually!)

I preferred the stage - only because the sand (and the salt, I should add) were AWFUL for actual sex! TORE UP both my teenie-weenie and my bf's ass equally as much!

Would you prefer:

• Having sex in a semi-public place and possibly being discovered, or
• Having sex in an open, public place - KNOWING you'll be seen?

Hello,
My friend's private contents got uploaded here.
I asked him to send a DMCA yesterday so the torrent can be removed, but he never hear anything back and the torrent is still active.
Can you help me? He's a dear friend of mine.

Thank you.

If you have already reported it via e-mail to [email protected] you could also mention it in a "report" on the torrent in question.

Just an idea... I know the e-mail is the official mechanism...

@eobox91103 said in Which external hard drive to get?:

1. All hard drives will, at some point, fail.
2. Every hard drive is going to fail.
3. When (not if) a hard drive fails, it's not always possible to get your data back even if you spend a fortune for data recovery.

I used to say that hard drives were not unlike tires (on a car)?

What percentage of automobile tires fail?

• 100% (which is why you seek to replace them BEFORE they fail!)

@bi4smooth

Ah, so you are justifying.

Henry VIII never married a black woman, but that doesn't matter to the BBC.

Joan of Arc was a 17yo ginger white chick, but who cares about the truth on that?

Your BS justifications don't speak to the double standards I pointed out, by you liberals.

If you people demand that only fags can play fags, then you are being extreme hypocrites when you insist that gays playing heteros is ok. Likewise when you bitch about a woman playing a trans-man, but find no problem with a trans-man playing a woman.

Actually, what I'm justifying is that casting directors get to choose who plays what... and that's pretty much the end of it!

I've said before that "casting" is mostly exempt from most discrimination laws in the US. (Living near Disney in Florida, there are a TON of "equal opportunity" laws that they're exempt from because they consider ALL of their front-line "resort" employees to be "cast members")

My point isn't in support of or saying-against the re-casting of roles - either to more "realistic" representations (gays play gays), or against them (men play women).... (Ever seen the gay West Side Story - where Maria is Mario?). My point is that there is no government interference here... and there is no governmental interference even POSSIBLE (at least without changing a lot of laws!)

There are cultural forces at work here, not LEGAL ones... If the Simpsons wanted to ignore the Asians who objected to Apu, or the queers who object to Hank Azaria playing a gay character, they have been free to do so! But for the same reason that casting directors cast (sometimes MIScast) "stars" in certain roles, they also take into account what "extra exposure" can come from making (and changing) casting!

If you ask me, The Simpsons is likely making casting changes as-much to garner "fresh" publicity about the moves as for anything else! (Let's face it - these are just VOICES! The actual animation isn't changing at all!)

And you are a perfect example of their success in that!

Finally, for what its worth: Saint Joan of Arc was about 5 feet 2–3 inches tall, was athletic, had dark brown hair and a somewhat short neck.

I can hardly wait for someone to point out the fact that it is genetically and historically IMPOSSIBLE that Jesus was Caucasian!

When Hollywood starts casting Arab or Jewish actors (with dark skin, no less) to portray Jesus and his disciples (in the interest of being more historically accurate), you're just going to flip out...

It's just a matter of time!

There certainly has been enough white-washing of history...

Ever looked into the history of Jack Daniels whiskey? Yeah, they're finally starting to admit: Jack Daniel didn't get "the recipe" from Rev Call, he got it from Rev Call's SLAVE: Nearis Green!

@raphjd said in Simpsons recast another character:

When does this finally mean that no LGBT can ever play a hetero character?!

Liberals are extremely selective with their rules. Certain groups get special rights or "equity" and other groups are punished.

We have blackwashing of real people from history, we have "non-binary trans-men" playing CIS hetero women, and liberals are happy with that. However, they lose their minds if the reverse ever happens.

Can we differentiate between the producers of The Simpsons wanting to make changes to their casting - by their own admission, based on the compilation of LGBTQ scenes from the show's history. They claim (themselves) that they were embarrassed and wanted to make a change.

This is a far cry from being FORCED to make a change.

@jamesherds said in Upscaled content:

Hello everyone! I've been using GTru for many years but it's the first time that I'm posting in the forum.

I've started noticing that many upscacled videos are getting shared lately. Since this process is basically not adding any detail to the original image (it should also be noted that we are talking abount classic upscaling, not AI one), but just making it and the file size bigger, should this thing be ruled?

I've got the feeling that I'm just downloading bigger files on my hdd without real benefits.

What do you guys think?

Rules state that to NOT be a duplicate, there has to be AT LEAST a 10% size difference.
I've seen lots of guys who re-code the studio-provided content into a lower "density" video, which results in SMALLER videos - I can't say I've seen anyone recoding videos to make them LARGER....

You might want to hit up the help desk to see what staff has to say about that... provide examples!

@bi4smooth said in Abstain or Train for bigger cumshots?:

they also use drugs (and injections EEK!) to increase the volume

Maybe shouldn't ask, but now I am morbidly curious.... what substances would increase the volume?

I don't know - I'm not involved in any current-day porn production (as I have said: in the late 1980's I was in a porn flick [or 2], and in the 2000's I was a part-time recruiter [talent scout] as well, but nothing but an illicit consumer these days)...

But I do know some current-day porn performers, and they tell me that some studios will LITERALLY inject something (I don't know what, and I cannot - for the LIFE of me - understand why anyone would submit to this) directly into your penis to give you a "better" erection (and, apparently, a move voluminous ejaculate)...

I don't know, and I don't WANT to know

Ewwww

@eobox91103

So, building on your notation above - and looking at how the valid application of the label "liar" (or just "lie") changes:

• On Nov 3, 2020 Donald Trump said that he won re-election. The votes had not yet been counted, so he could not have known - for a fact - that he was the winner. Thus, the statement was conjecture, and while eventually proven false, it was not a lie

• On Nov 10, 2020 Donald Trump said he that he won re-election. There were still some (enough) states who were still (re)counting, but it was clear that Biden was ahead. The probability (given what was known at the time) was that he had lost, but there was still a possibility... Thus, this was still conjecture - albeit a "wishful thinking" one - and therefore, not a lie

• On Nov 15, 2020 Donald Trump said (Tweeted) that Biden "only won in the eyes of the FAKE NEWS MEDIA". This is a little harder to evaluate for a "lie". Clearly, Trump would have known the entirety of media - including Fox News - had reported his loss. Still, the choice of language like "the only" qualifies this as more hyperbole combined with continued wishful thinking. Again, at least in my opinion, not a lie (maybe self-delusional, but not (yet) a lie!)

• On Dec 15, 2020 Donald Trump said (again, via Twitter) that he won the election. However, by this time all 50 states and DC had certified their election results. Even though the final Electoral College vote would not occur for 3 weeks hence, this statement - in the face of the certified results clearly falls into the lie category. It would be different (again, choice of words matters!) had he tweeted that he should have won, or that he would overturn the results - but the statement - after the certification of all of the results that he had, in fact, won was not hyperbole or even wishful thinking. It was a lie

Every explicit claim of victory thereafter... has been a lie.

The question of the election being "stolen" is another matter. Trump can believe (regardless of his inability to convince anyone else in authority) that nefarious forces colluded against him and that he was the "rightful" (if not "legal") winner... that is not the same as saying he WAS the winner... delusional or not, that's just saying he should have been the winner, and I think some 70M supporters agree that they wish he had won, but that's not the same as saying that he DID win - which is a lie.
