It's a Victorian distribution centre where the strikes are happening, I suspect WA would have their own separate centres given the distance from coast to coast, so unless their workers join the blockade there probably won't be much interruption there.
How do you type on them? I've always wondered that, since if I invested in one it would be to play FFXIV and I'd want a way to chat. Always assumed it was a touch screen thing, and have no idea how well that would work for it.
I ended up with pretty much all the west half of the country, and it got progressively more sparse from there. Basically anything further east than Texas I had maybe half a dozen or so, and the rest I just couldn't find in my head.
I knew one of them started with G from the US elections, but couldn't get to Georgia 🤦 Oh well.
Vermont I did get thanks to a comedian, I think it's Tommy Johnagin. He does a bit talking about Texas and how it's not uncommon to hear something like "we're gonna beat your ass, Texas style", and then points out no other state says that, like you won't hear someone say "we're gonna beat your ass, Vermont style".
Odd things that stick with you that help with trivia 😂
I wouldn't call Ubiquiti corporate level, it's more prosumer. I've seen mixed bag reviews on their more recent stuff, I currently use their wifi APs and home and they work brilliantly for that purpose, but I also have network cabling throughout the house and a server cupboard with several NAS units in it, so... 😂 They do have all in one routers but typically their stuff is better when you get the stuff that does one thing well (like their APs or their managed switches). That does tend to be overkill for most people though where a mesh setup or even a single Wifi router will suffice.
I've also had a lot of luck with TP-Link stuff in the past, both in their stock configurations and also reflashing some routers with OpenWRT (custom firmware), so they're usually a solid recommendation in my opinion.
Have a look through the tools section on the Megathread in the pinned post. For this specific use case you're probably going to be wanting to look at tools like Sonarr (for TV shows), Radarr (for movies), some form of torrent client that those tools support (Transmission for example), and depending on what your tracker supports, possibly something like Jackett to provide a bridge between your tracker and your downloader tool.
The benefit of this kind of setup is it's very easy to add Usenet into the mix if you choose to.
There's some extra steps needed if you run it directly on the Mac but you can also do something like run Docker on the Mac and run those tools within Docker instead.
I'm pretty sure it's possible to integrate something like Overseerr (which is a web frontend for handing requests for new content) into the Plex watch list meaning you could add a show to your watch list in Plex, Overseerr would pick that up, send it to Sonarr or Radarr depending on the type of content it is, which would then do a search on your tracker for the content, send the torrent to your torrent client, and then when it finishes downloading automatically import it into Plex.
Sunk cost fallacy is probably the most obvious one that springs to mind. Not unlike gambling in a sense, people feel they just need one big payout to win it all back and then some, so they keep betting, hoping that this time things will go in their favour.
In my defence, I felt fine 😂 It's just I have a memory gap where one minute I was sitting up, and the next I was staring at the roof with Mum panicking nearby. So don't know what happened but it just didn't go well.
I've had to do blood tests since then and they generally go okay as long as they can find a vein, but haven't donated since that happened.
Pretty sure I'm O+, I've got that basic blood. But I got blacklisted when I was younger from donating, first time I went in I managed to get knocked out and go into full convulsions (unfortunately was there with my mum and it traumatised her for a bit afterwards 😅). Few weeks later I got a letter basically telling me thank you for coming but please don't come again.
Now begins the long wait for them to announce the most important position, who finished last. Don't care who won, I need to know if I get my money back in our cup sweep 😂
