@hubrys All of us who are homeowners know the perils of "deferred maintenance." When bridges carrying national highways literally collapse and fall into a river ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-35W_Mississippi_River_bridge ), it suggests that there's a backlog of work that needs to be done. The last several US presidents have made note of this, but nothing's happened.

Playing "catch-up" is going to be expensive for Americans, but at least it's spread out over 15 years. This is a different approach from the stimulus program placed after the 2008 "Great Recession," which cost about $800bn but happened rather quickly. It did seem successful at providing employment and doing some infrastructure repair.

@blablarg18 If you want to call people liars, spread conspiracy theories, or espouse "alternative facts," there's another forum board for doing that.

I've used this process myself for a hundred or more uploads.

Note that the "Trackers" window will show http://gaytor.rent:------- to reflect the new site domain.

Be sure to follow all of @john32123666's other recommendations, like unchecking "start seeding" which seems to be a default. Leaving that one checked can cause issues.

I know I join with other members in looking forward to the material you share on here.

@raphjd And you refuse to admit that MoscowMitch and his Senate approved everything.

Every few months I think I'll try engaging in a "Politics and Debate" topic, thinking perhaps that you've grown up. But no, instead of facts you resort to calling names, which is the last refuge of cowards. Even my 12-year-old knows better.

Go play in your sandbox and pretend that you're superior to everyone else...even though we all know better.

@blablarg18 That other board is also the only place where it is permitted--even encouraged--to insult people. It doesn't belong here.

The argument ad hominem (literally, "to the man"), such as name-calling or insulting, is the weakest form of discourse. It is the ultimate refuge for those devoid of fact, reason, or intelligence.

I think there are two topics going on here: (1) I think the OP was asking about thumbnail files that would be part of of the torrent itself, and (2) others were addressing thumbnail files that would be part of the description on the torrent page.

Both approaches are useful, depending on the circumstances: If the torrent has only a few videos (four or less, maybe), then having thumbnail files posted as part of the torrent page is a good idea, along with some large single photos.

For torrents with a lot of video files, I like to see a separate folder of thumbnails in the torrent itself; then I can download only the thumbs and then decide which video files to download.

Whether a thumbnail file is part of the torrent page or downloadable from the torrent, advice from members above should be heeded:

• Set the thumbnail generator to make each thumb a good size--150 pixels high at a minimum.

• Don't have the video sampled too often--once every two minutes will give a sense of what's going on.

@raphjd Jeez, you really need to get a clue.

OK: Democrats controlled the house from 2007 to 2011, and again from 2019 to the present. But your beloved Republicans controlled the House and the Senate from 2011 to 2019.

And Epoch News (and I use that last word with irony) is not absolved from quoting incorrect numbers just because they got them from another crapsheet. The "debt" reported by their source includes an estimate for payments due for Social Security and Medicare for many years into the future. They are not current "debts" of the US government. Perhaps checking the source was too much effort for you.

I'm not going to read any of your crap any more...it's like smearing feces in my eyes. You're lucky, I suppose, that you're a forum moderator...because if anyone else had that job, you'd be permanently banned from the site.

@blablarg18 said in covid vaxx don't stop covid, says NY Supreme Court:

there's another forum board for doing that.

I absolutely agree! That other board is filled with lies and misinformation.

If you like uTorrent (as I do), you don't want to use version 3.6. Version 3.5.5 is stable (I use it), and you can get a download of it at https://www.filesoul.com/software/uTorrent/3-5-5-45271-for-PC-Windows/download/ . Then, make sure you got to Options -> Preferences -> General and un-tick the box that says, "Automatically install updates:"

Do NOT try to get this version from a link on domain uptodown.com. Those links have been corrupted and will install version 3.6, which is a disaster.

You can also follow the suggestions of others on there who advocate version 2.2.1. That also works...but again, make sure you untick the auto-upgrade box.

Good luck with your project, and let us know how it turns out!

@bi4smooth I very much like your chronological staging of these events. If one takes my view that one lies if and only if one "knows" that what is being said is false (which is not the only way of defining lying), then indeed it would seem that Mr Trump would not have been lying on November 3 or 10, as there was still some (shrinking) ambiguity about the actual election result. By late November, it would be difficult for a rational person to not believe that Mr Biden had won, so assertions by Mr Trump of victory at that point are close to being lies.

But applying the analysis here needs to assume that Mr Trump is being rational. It's possible that he actually believes, even today, that we won the election, even though state and federal government processes have declared and finalised otherwise. If he does actually believe the (irrational and untrue) proposition that he won the election, then by my narrow definition of lying, it wouldn't be a lie for him to say "I won the election." But if he were to say, "I know that I won the election," then that would be a lie, because to "know" that he won means he has justification for believing that--and clearly there is none. Perhaps I'm stretching the analytical framework beyond where it works. It's not easy to apply rational categories to someone as "unique" as Mr Trump.

@blablarg18 Here's an interesting exercise: In the browser search box, type in "you" as a search term, and see how many times it gets highlighted in various messages. I use Firefox, and it gives me the following:

When a post is primarily about another person, and not about the issues, it's off-topic, and probably worthless.

I recommend to the Forum Administrator that this thread be locked, and perhaps deleted.

Be careful about upornia links--sometimes they pop up malware windows. I was able to download the scene from there with a safe connection. That guy is a firehose!

The solo scene is on here at https://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=f65cceafa5a45e813f627acd8bc2072f9bbc71d351e98ad8 , unfortunately dead with no seeders.

The sofa in the scene suggests that this is early Sean Cody. "Anthony" is no longer shown on the Sean Cody website.

As an aside, one of the first Sean Cody videos can be found on this site at https://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=7238f9ff89c15a613f627acd8bc2072f804f75f39a15f0f9 . Some have said that the guy doing the sucking is "Sean Cody," but I can't verify that.

@chanelkokoro Yes, it's the "family values" party that worships a Dear Leader who pays hush money to prostitutes and brags about grabbing women by the pussy.

It's also the "pro-life" party that favours capital punishment.

I, too, find all of this rather odd.

@nix54 said in CDC Warns of Dangerous Fungal Infection Spreading Through US at ‘Alarming Rate’:

Though who could disagree that "there is some fungus amongst us".

A while back I had jock friend name Gus (short for Agostino) who was a lot of fun, so one time I called him FunGus. He looked at me with a wry frown, and said, "would you like me to kick you with my athlete's foot?"

He's definitely quite handsome...I'd call him a "twunk" rather than a "twink," but I wouldn't quibble over definitions if he'd answer my calls.

There are three videos of him available at https://gayforfans.com/performer/james-maxwell-jamesmaxyy/ . They are downloadable.

There are even better ones (IMHO) at https://www.myvidster.com/channel/3347798/James_Maxwell . In these, he hasn't shaved everything. Downloading the videos from this site is tricky. For first video, save the file https://streamtape.com/get_video?id=mg0qW8vZyosbLQK&expires=1667849639&ip=F0AWKRSTFI9XKxR&token=t5MnBbFg5LqD&stream=1 and then change the file extension to .mp4.

Edit: Ignore my statement above about downloading from myvidster. Somebody posted those videos at the new link mentioned in my post a few clicks below. And if you do want to download from myvidster, it's not as tortured as I made it sound. If one clicks on the video and waits a minute or so for it to start to stream, it will get recognised by most browser download extensions and you can do it that way.

@chanelkokoro said in Party of family values part 1 :

@eobox91103 omg That's such a great point. I'm a nurse, I'm positive they wipe down the injection site first.

The only problem is that we keep killing innocent people on death row. And I'd rather get rid of the death penalty entirely than risk even 1 innocent person dying because of it.

Yes, that's the problem. Whether needle or noose, there's no "undo" button after the fact.

@bear1515 said in How often do you consume porn & do you think you're addicted?:

like most things [porn] can be addictive, and if you feel that you are neglecting important stuff to watch porn, or it's affecting you negatively, then there's a good chance you're addicted and you should work on reducing it.

An addiction to porn is not unlike addiction to alcohol or drugs. There's a useful self-assessment test at https://www.psycom.net/am-i-an-alcoholic-alcohol-use-disorder. This is targeted at alcohol addiction, but one can substitute "watching porn" for "drinking alcohol" and have a reasonably reliable test.

There isn't, though, a direct correlation between consuming a lot of porn (or alcohol) and being addicted to it. Someone could watch porn for several hours per day and not be addicted, and conversely someone could look at porn for a few minutes every few days and be addicted.

A friend of mine is a therapist specialising in addiction treatment. He has an even simpler self-assessment test than the one linked above: He asks clients who are questioning whether they're addicted to something to abstain from it completely for two weeks. If they can do this successfully, it's likely that they're not addicted. If such abstinence is a struggle, then it's possible/likely that they are addicted, and further assessment is indicated.

@dziber Thanks very much! That film is available at https://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=814b7fe539ddec913f627acd8bc2072fe65a542a16720a70

@calatar You're quite right, although I enjoyed the exchange with Bi4Smooth--that's the kind of discussion that shows the potential benefit of a forum like this. It's unfortunate that good discussions get poisoned by a childish brat.

@bi4smooth said in Quick questions about uTorrent:

@eobox91103

uTorrent has a colored past.

You DO NOT want the latest version, nor any of the recent versions. There is a forum post about how to install the "recommended" version. I think there is a link to it in the QTM howto?

I personally use qBitTorrent...

Thanks for the information. I did see the post about the "recommended" version of uTorrent, but following those instructions still got me a block from my anti-virus software (Norton 360).

I'll have to give qBitTorrent a try--it seems to get high marks from many people. I don't look forward to setting up all the various options of where to put torrent files, downloads, etc., but it sounds like it will be worth it in the long run.
