This is why I have a seedbox. A small monthly fee to maintain access to sites that are impossible to join nowadays

My local Walmart has had so much theft they've blocked off all but 5 self checkout machines, which are manned by 2 associates at all times. Over the years they've gotten rid of all but 8 registers. Now these registers are all open and the lines reach the middle of the store. I hate going there now.

Also everything with a resale value is locked up in cabinets and the one associate with a key can never be found no matter how many times she's paged by other associates.

If Walmart wasn't cheaper by a giant margin I would never shop there again. But all Canadian grocery stores are owned by Billionaire aashats who raise the prices of everything then blame everyone else

After a couple years of solid pixel use I just ordered an S24 Ultra. I don't care about alot of things but I've had enough terrible signal, WiFi, Bluetooth and battery life.

My wife bought an S23 Ultra and I had my Pixel 7 pro, we're both out and about, she's got full bars 5G, and I've barely got any signal. She can leave her phone anywhere in the house and her bluetooth works up to like 60' away in the right conditions, meanwhile I'm getting half that at most, and there's a 3 second delay over Bluetooth so watching video is fun. She gets like 2 days of charge out of her phone normally, and with minor use I'm below 40% at the end of the day.

Yup, and all they have to do is change leaders to win. There was that story last week about Biden thinking of stepping down, but Trudeau refuses to step down, if he, guilbaut, and freeland fucked off we could easily get another liberal government. So now we're going to a Conservative government.

I work with middle eastern guys who are like this, they hide this side of themselves when I'm around (white guy) but it comes out when my female coworkers are alone. It's common enough that I've heard about it from multiple people. But when I'm around they're great and I consider them good work friends.

Post pandemic international shipping rates skyrocketed. Used to be able to order parts from RA and have them shipped to Canada for peanuts. Now the cost savings are eaten by crazy shipping fees, auto parts aren't light

So lately I've been seeing shorts on YT about a D&D podcast that looks mildly interesting and I'm running out of good webnovels to listen to with TTS at work. So I thought I would give podcasts a shot...

They have instream ads... ~~And it's the same damn ad on repeat~~ Not the same ad, that was a Conan podcast I listened to in the past, but still it's like 4 ads in a row. Is there a tool to download these podcasts and strip their ads? I just read that there's a way to download them via rss so that's what I'm going to try now. But manual ad removal might get tedious over a hundred episodes.

I can't imagine with all the nerd centric podcasts that we wouldn't have automated a way to extract ads by this point.

Edit: At this point, trying a number of things. yt-dlp seems to be the best way to do it. If the podcast is available on YouTube someone most likely has already submitted SponsorBlock segments for it. You can then use yt-dlp to download the episode or the whole playlist using this command:


yt-dlp --sponsorblock-remove all --ignore-errors --format bestaudio --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 192K --output "%(title)s.%(ext)s" --yes-playlist 'PLAYLIST URL'

You can even run it directly in Termux on your Android phone and skip sponsors on the go.
