SUPAČ. Look, I don't know who you are—but stay safe out there. Here’s some of those 👍👍👍 plus a few more 👍👍👍 alright, let's go, even more 👍👍👍 just one more 👍 yupiyayeehoo

Alright, let’s talk about condoms for a sec

I don't know if it's the latex or some chemical in the lube, but I feel like something weird happens to my performance after using them—honestly, I feel like a total turtle out there. Can someone look into this? I'm genuinely curious.

You two should probably just get together and hash out all this new tech stuff. 🤣🤣🤣

Hey geeks 🤣🤣🤣🤣

There’s nothing quite like getting into a heated debate with some total geek about how many bytes are actually in a kilobyte. I once drove an Englishman absolutely insane over it—honestly, he was about two seconds away from jumping out a window. 👍

Anyway, hang in there.

Yeah, right—like Chernobyl even happened. It’s just one more excuse for you to push that rule of yours that nothing is actually dangerous.

Look, I got hammered and hit on the new waitress at the pub, and honestly, I don't give a damn about you or your opinion (even though you're dying for me to be wrong)—maybe I'm not, but man, I hope I'm not.

Now, let me tell you exactly what I am certain about:

You're gonna die all alone, with nobody there to hold your cold, withered hand while they sob, "wiredtiger10, you legend, you were right."

Look, my stance hasn't changed—even if I’m a little tipsy right now—Joseph Watson3 called it: the institutions just aren't working, at least not when it comes to what I've been writing about. People have pointed out my typos a few times lately... honestly, I don't know what happened. When I was a kid, I never had issues, but ever since I started posting on forums (about a year and a half now), I can't even tell my Cs from my Ks and I'm putting accents in all the wrong spots (I mostly write when I've had a few drinks—since the weather warmed up, I've been doing it more often)—but I still firmly believe that it isn't just one or two antennas. It's everything. Every single antenna, every device we have sitting in our houses and apartments (phones, microwaves, monitors, etc.) is pumping out some kind of radiation. Some of you have even felt skin irritation from things like mousepads (I actually had this weird thing happen where I'd feel skin irritation and see redness after just thirty minutes), and people who work with PVC stuff (windows, doors, etc.) get these strange sensations on their skin. These are dead materials; they aren't even connected to a power source, yet they radiate enough to actually feel it on your skin.

So much of this has been suppressed or covered up throughout history. You've got the scientific community, which only acknowledges hard evidence and facts, and then you've got the media spin I've been talking about—over the last 50 years or so, the media has gained the power to sway massive crowds into believing things that just aren't true.

Then there are the folks pushing nuclear energy as the ultimate solution for a world starving for power. I'm definitely not one of them. Bad things happen, and when they do, 1243 miles if it's happening far away from home, whatever, but when it's happening in your own neighborhood, things are definitely not okay. So, without total certainty, I'm just not buying into it.

Joseph Watson3 said:If you had any actual clue what you were talking about, you'd realize that the antennas on your phone emit way more radiation than the towers on top of buildings—considering intensity drops off with the square of the distance.

And what’s the deal with nobody living right next to those towers? I can see one just 50 feet from my window. Will my phone antenna do more damage to me, or all those outdoor GSM antennas right in my backyard? I don't know, but it seems logical that those external ones would blast way harder than a phone—even if we do hold the damn things right against our heads when we talk.

placidjackal36 said:If I were a bit less patient, I would have bombarded you with insults by now. Is it "proven" that they radiate? Give me a break.
How does communication between antennas even work, anyway? You stick them on buildings, and then pigeons sit on them and pass bytes back and forth? Or maybe they use little scraps of paper? Or perhaps flying elves? No, it's definitely Yahweh.

And you honestly think an anecdote counts as valid scientific evidence? We're in trouble if that's the case. 🙏

Look, if a whole bunch of kids in an apartment building got sick right after a GSM antenna was installed, there would be absolute panic among the research institutes. You can't hide something like that.
Since almost all GSM antennas are designed very similarly, it would cause mass illness all over the planet.
But it doesn't. So, it's something else entirely. Or maybe it's just a media hoax, which wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Here's a quick lesson in antenna physics: antennas aren't designed to blast the most radiation straight down, because that would be pointless. The strongest radiation intensity is distributed in the shape of a torus. Think of it like a lighthouse. A lighthouse doesn't shine its light directly at the ground—that makes no sense—it shines it out toward the horizon. That, combined with being placed on a tall building, ensures wide coverage. In fact, the signal is actually weakest directly underneath the antenna.

I'm not even going to go there with the insults because I can just blow off guys like you.

I see you're one of those people who thinks INSTITUTIONS MUST FUNCTION properly—that’s pretty optimistic of you, but also kind of childishly naive. Until recently, they were covering up how smoking causes cancer. Does that mean smoking is healthy? Did it ever cross your mind that the evidence exists, it's just not available to you or me? Because releasing it would mean destroying one of the biggest industries, shutting down factories, leaving people jobless, and putting a massive burden on the government.

You can save that little lecture about antennas for some idiot.

Any moron knows antennas don't aim signals downward (why would they do that if they're on top of a building?), but what about everything around that building? Other structures, houses, people? I thought GSM antennas were put where people are—on high-rises. I live in a house and I've got at least 3 or 4 of them on nearby buildings. What I was talking about regarding sick kids in England is exactly that: a GSM antenna gets put on a nearby building, and then kids at that school start getting leukemia, cancer, etc. And yeah, there was panic—huge panic, lawsuits, the whole nine yards—but did it destroy the entire GSM industry? Nope. You'd need a much higher body count for what you're suggesting to actually happen.

INSTITUTIONS MUST FUNCTION / $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

As far as I know, it’s a proven fact that cell antennas—and I mean those big ones on buildings, plus the tiny ones inside our phones—emit radiation. It's enough to have messed up countless people's lives. I don't have links to any random comic strips or "proof" handy, but I'm definitely not the only one who saw reports on TV or read in the papers about mass illnesses like leukemia or cancer—especially in kids, though adults get hit too—right after a GSM tower gets set up nearby. I distinctly remember an example from England where a bunch of kids at a school ended up with leukemia after a tower was installed right next to the building. Now, whether these tiny little internet antennas radiate enough to actually be dangerous? Honestly, I don't know. I haven't seen or read anything definitive either way, but I wouldn't just assume they're safe just because there isn't "proof" yet. If I had to guess, I'd say it's better to be careful until we get some 100% solid evidence.

EVERY SINGLE DEVICE (lightbulbs, TVs, radios, monitors, cordless phones, antennas) EMITS RADIATION.

THE GOAL SHOULD BE TO GET RID OF THE STUFF WE DON'T NEED.

UNFORTUNATELY, WE AREN'T GETTING RID OF THESE CELL ANTENNAS ANYTIME SOON (the business is just too massive).

Every single antenna emits radiation—any kind of energy transfer, or in this case data transmission, creates radiation. If you've got the option, a cable is always better than an antenna.

Whatever, man. Just go where you want.

Caught this one just a few weeks back—it’s seriously good. Highly recommend it. 👍

Man, give me those sweet, sweet gains—just straight up gimme the goods.

The consequences? Nah, maybe, honestly who cares.

Man, my bad—I just couldn't help myself. But look, this guy actually knows his stuff—so whatever you do, definitely don't follow my advice.

Just keep your head tilted to the left—and if you happen to be growing out a beard, give it a little stroke now and then. It’ll make people think you actually have some brains. 👍

Jose Campbell9 said:Well, thanks for nothing...
Now here's what I'm wondering:

I just signed up on http://www.medioteka.com/ and http://www.bitsoup.org/ since I'm getting my paycheck tomorrow...

So.. if I search Bitsoup for something like Red Hot Chili Peppers—you know, a pretty famous band—and it only shows two results, one with a single Seed and one with just one Seed...

My ratio is sitting at 0/0 because I haven't actually downloaded anything yet... Does the number of results or Seeders go up once my ratio gets higher, or what?

Good grief, talk about perfect timing.

Are you one of those people who won't jump in the pool until you've spent twenty minutes debating if the water is too cold, too warm, or just wet enough?

Answer to your question: Nope, nothing's gonna increase.

When you search for something, you get what's there—that's it. Period. That's why you need more than two trackers.

Tracker list (public and private)

list of private trackers with open sign-ups

You're overthinking this way too much—just try it, test stuff out. It’s honestly the easiest way to learn. You run into a snag—which usually isn't even a real problem—and then you stop and start asking questions.

IT'S JUST A RIDE

Jose Campbell9 said:Hey, if I log into, say, two or more private trackers, do I need different download programs? Like, do I need uTorrent for one specific tracker, or can everything be downloaded in one program and it just tracks my Ratio?
thanks...

Man, you've messed up again—you don't need more than uTorrent. It's hands down the best client out there (unless that specific private tracker explicitly bans uTorrent, which almost never happens)

In uTorrent, you can queue up 20 or even 50 movies or apps to download and seed all at once. Your Ratio is just the balance between what you download and what you upload. (For example, if you grab a 700 MB movie and upload back 350 MB over a few days, your ratio for that file is 0.5—once you hit 700 MB uploaded, you're at a 1.0 ratio.)

uTorrent shows you the individual ratio for every single file, while the private tracker's website will show your total site-wide Ratio (usually right next to your username)

Man, you must be drunk

Look, if nobody posts anything about this movie by tomorrow night, I’m seriously gonna make my niece eat half a pound of her own warm diaper crap.

Yeah, you don't need to sign up for public trackers—so there's zero risk of getting banned—but honestly, the speeds on those sites suck. If you've got an unlimited data plan, I’d definitely suggest sticking to private trackers instead. If not? Just stick to the public ones. Now, if you do decide to join a private tracker (there's actually a whole thread about them if you want to see which one fits your vibe), you've gotta play by their rules. Usually, they'll demand a 1/1 Ratio and expect you to keep your torrents active for at least 48 hours. Simple as that.
