  • I’m antsy about pirating software and games because of malware, but movies and shows? Just go to a reputable site and choose a torrent with a lot of seeds and it’s pretty safe. Personally I have an old laptop dedicated to running a jellyfin server streaming torrents, so even if I did download malware there’s nothing of value on the drive


  • Gotcha, I see where you’re coming from. I think that the phrase isn’t meant to be taken as cold hard logic but a rule of thumb for the default position on a theory. To reiterate, we don’t know that any religion is right, but because they contradict each other, we do know that some must be wrong. Since none provide proof, and especially because they all contradict each other, a reasonable person would assume that they’re all all wrong until actually finding some evidence.

    So yeah, the way it’s worded it does sound like a logical expression, but really it’s “If 20 people tell you the answer and they all give you different answers without showing their work, it’s not safe to bet that any one of them are right”

    I don’t think that’s an accurate comparison, it’s more like a few hundred people guessing a different result of a practically infinite-sided die. For all we know, the origin of the universe can be anything, and it’s maybe (who are we kidding, definitely) something even beyond our imaginations. For all we know, we’re trapped in Charlie’s Chocolate Factory. What are the odds that anyone who ever wrote a book about a diety/universal origins actually got it right? Hint: it’s not 1/6 odds, or even 1/1,000,000,000, it’s 1/∞. Technically not zero, but c’mon, it’s practically zero.

    Just my anecdote, but 15 years back or so when Bluetooth earbuds weren’t a thing yet, I bought a new wired pair every six months or so at least. Even when I’d run the wire under my shirt and stuff the slack in my pocket, eventually it would get caught and yank the earbuds out of my ears. When that happened too many times, the connection between the wire and the jack or buds would deteriorate.

    I’ve actually never lost a Bluetooth earbud. I buy ones with the little wings so they actually stay. I don’t have connection problems unless I’m on the opposite side of the house from my phone, so granted I’ll switch to my trusty 30m long wired earbuds in those cases. I’ve also never had a battery die in one of these. As I type this I’m wearing a pair of Sony Bluetooth headphones that I bought at least 5 years ago, maybe 6 or 7, and as far as I can tell they work as well as they ever have.
