Complete spitballing on my part - was the sun very strong on one side or the other? Even the shadow from your bike might have kept one foot cooler with the other one having direct sunlight exposure.

What gorgeous views and nice write-up! We have some rail-trails where I am in the US and I’ve always enjoyed riding them. Neat to learn they’re in other countries too! :)
I’ve been looking for this kind of comment, because this was my first thought on reading the statement. Very PR speak implying that the state of subs like r/interestingasfuck meant that they didn’t want the brand risk that now comes with being on Reddit – not that they cared about or were protesting the API changes.
I do think it’s interesting because it shows that the mod protests on those subreddits - even if brief - triggered a big enough brand risk moment for MSFT/Minecraft to decide dropping Reddit completely (rather than temporarily or similar) was worth it. I don’t think we’ve seen any other brands officially do that yet.
Probably stating the obvious, but keep the obscure stuff around! You might not get upload immediately but the longer you seed it, the more chance someone else who wants it will come along and you get some of the upload. the most real upload I've ever gotten on TL (talking 1.2/1.5/1.9 ratio, absolutely insane ratio to have on a home network for a TL torrent imo) was from submitting a reseed request for several super obscure boxsets that had other leechers and no seeders.
but do watch out for downloading any more non-freeleech stuff from TL if your ratio is already poor, as that'll dig you into a bigger hole than just letting what you've already grabbed seed.
Glad I could help! Most of my TL ratio comes from the seeding time point system, but all of the torrents I have real ratio on are freeleech TV boxsets (which I find TL is pretty generous about providing). Seeding large-file-size torrents gives a bonus to the points generated, so if you have the space and find yourself gaining points too slowly to bring your ratio where you want it, I'd recco nabbing a few of those boxsets to seed long term as well.
I tried out the PARA method, but so far it feels too involved with fiddling in the file system and I’m not really using it anymore. I use the “open file” command palette as my primary form of navigation, backlinks and other internal links secondarily, so folder organization doesn’t actually matter to me. I plan to un-PARA my folders and simplify them as much as possible so I can continue to ignore the file system organization.
Are you getting upload on public torrents with a large number of leechers, like YTS or similar? I’d test that first.
If you are getting upload on a large public torrent, then it’s because TorrentLeech is really hard to get real upload on; your best bet is to seed your TL torrents as long as possible (ideally forever) and build your ratio by buying upload from the points store.
If you’re not able to upload to public torrents then yeah it’s probably a setup issue.
Good to know, thank you! I did see that a chemical with the slow release in the soil for absorption was recommended, so if I’m still seeing them in several weeks I’ll definitely try that. Fingers crossed that manual removal and my two treatment sprays have helped but these seem like annoying buggers to eradicate so I might not get lucky.
There are no dragons in Skyrim and many other games because wyverns are NOT dragons. and don’t use the “well the overarching category is dragon so it still counts” argument on me, because I will dismiss it out of hand!
Living in an apartment on the top floor where I got to experience 90-100 degree weather for several weeks while the AC was broken… this is the climate change shit I worry about the immediate impact of. Saw a graph that showed the rise in night temperatures over 70 degrees and it’s concerning.
I’d love to own a passive haus to reduce energy costs related to cooling but a) I don’t have that kind of money, b) they’re primarily being adopted in Europe, and c) they gotta be built from scratch and those builders in the US are primarily in the Northeast.
This is going to sound insane but thank you so much for this comment!! I've had the concept of "the gap" in my head since 2012 thanks to Gavin Aung Than's comic strip version of Ira's quote, but somewhere along the line I completely forgot the source of both the quote and the comic and had never been able to rediscover it until you mentioned it here.
Interesting! Sakurai would say keep your params out of the code, so that you can easily tweak all params in one spot when balancing things. But maybe having all params in code is reasonable to handle when you’re a solo dev.
