Yeah, of course it varies place to place but I think for the majority of at least somewhat developed countries and urban areas in less developed countries 50Mbps is a reasonable figure for "normal home internet" - even at 25Mbps you're looking at 4½ hours for 50GB which is very doable if you leave it going while you're at work or just in the background over the course of an evening
Edit: I was curious and looked it up. Global average download is around 50-60Mbps and upload is 10-12Mbps.
And how many millions of people are fairly good at being a software developer?
I think "fairly good" was an understatement on my part... Tim Berners-Lee got a knighthood for being "fairly good" as a software developer, as he invented the worldwide web. Kier Starmer got a knighthood for being "fairly good" as a public procecutor for handling a number of cases of national importance extremely well. What have you done that has significantly changed the country for the better?
You've got to consider the difficulty/seniority of the job, a general doing a "fairly good" job is more likely to get a medal than a private doing a "fairly good" job who'll get fuck all
I was referring to ones which explicitly require you to have a >1 ratio to download files, which do absolutely have leniency when you sign up, but the average ratio is 1 by definition assuming a closed system and so it's infeasible for the majority to get >1. Often they have freeleach days but that requires you to be around on that day and also download stuff you don't want to seed it, rather than just slightly reducing the required ratio (also IMO having a required ratio of any form is bad as it encourages people to turn off seeding after that point, generally I'll seed stuff which has <5 seeders or low availability of parts I have, as seeding them to 100x is way more valuable than seeding 1000 files which have hundreds of seeders all with 100% availability to 1x)
I accept they want to keep leaches out though, so if they required a ratio of 0.5-0.75 that'd be fine, but from my experience most "entry level" private ones don't, and most non-entry level ones either have closed signups or a requirement to be signed up with an existing private tracker in which things are either ridiculously over or underseeded with no inbetween, so it's hard to build up a ratio.
My gas meter thinks it's on prepayment mode and won't go off... The previous owners got it replaced, and it still didn't work so they sent a technician out and made it so it won't disable itself as it won't stay in credit mode
How hard is it to make something that works?
Given Turkmenistan's past record it wouldn't even shock me to find out there's a law saying people have to do exactly that, but yeah you're probably right
Is that the bear from hexbear?
Water, unsweetened tea, unsweetened coffee, milk and countless other non-sweetened or minimally sweetened drinks are way better for you than any sweetened drink though.
"0 calorie" sweetened drinks are bad for you not because of their content but because eating sweet things increases your appetite as a reaction to sweet things being comparatively rare in nature, even if it's not sugar, so it's been proven that you're more likely to overeat and snack between meals (where the snacks are often also unhealthy) following consuming sweet drinks (I can't remember how long the effects stick around for but it's long enough that it'll stretch to your next meal, or make you want a snack before it), regardless of whether that food is sweet or not. Eating more also makes you lethargic so you're less likely to burn the extra calories.
The issue is this can be palmed off by the manufacturer as the fault of the people eating more, when fast food restaurants have anecdotally known this since forever and so include a sweet drink in their meal so that you want a bigger meal that you'll pay more for.
Even if you actively ensure that you're not letting it affect your appetite, for the majority of the general population that is not the case, so in practice they're close enough to being just as bad that it doesn't matter which you have
I knew a couple of parents/teachers/other adults (can't remember exactly who) from out leek/stoke way who said that growing up but I'm still yet to find any as an adult
Where did they all go?
It's not reaching, it's tearing
Pigeons/doves, flamingos, penguins
At which point you get yelled at for reviving a dead thread
Images are a lot easier to create "good enough" generations of locally compared to text and video... I imagine the driving force is probably horny people like 99% of other innovations on the internet
