Meh, i tried usenet about a year or two ago when I was getting back into this, and it was utterly useless for anything that wasn't English speaking media for myself. Anything locally produced or foreign shows translated (for my kids) where almost impossible to find so YMMV. It seems to have a lot less variety than torrents offer.

I found a private torrent tracker that caters to my liking and now there's almost nothing I can't find anymore and it's also full bandwidth (1gbit in my case) download 90% of the time. Costs are about the same, just for VPN instead of provider and indexer.

Them saying Joe Rogan's podcast is "toxic, diseased, and damaging to society" is not better critique than the other poster calling this comic dog shit. Both are just statements that provide no argument or reasoning behind the statements. Sure they could back it up with examples why it is so, but so could the other commenter, which would make either of those comments valid criticism, but without they are equally good (or bad) criticism.

Isn't Verge already making motorcycles with this type of motor?

I got one a few years ago (Europe), but you just throw them out, they're meaningless threats without action behind and to my knowledge no one has been convicted based on one ever in my country. But if you torrent copyrighted material without a VPN here, you'll definitely be getting them.

OP is specifically asking for something like torrentio (searching a large collection of indexers from one place) but without streamio. So no it's not like that, but it is specifically what OP is asking for.

I joined one mostly for content in my native language for my kids, it's as good as impossible to find on public trackers. Initially I intended to only use it for that, but I have since abandoned public trackers completely and exclusively use the private tracker now. I don't find more time or effort intensive at all though, not sure what you expect to do beyond seeding to meet the tracker requiremens, I seed everything I've downloaded, so it makes no difference to me and I haven't noticed any difference whatsoever in effort to use a private tracker compared to a public one.

0.008% is 1 in 12,500, not 1 in 125...well, technically it is still less than 1 in 125, but I doubt that's what they mean.

Fisker is nothing but a conman, always has been. His MO is literally to start a company, secure funding, make a personal fortune and then abandon the bankrupt shell and leave customers hanging.

Man I fucking hate telesyncs...I accidentally downloaded a TS deadpool&wolverine because I got so exited when I saw it that I didn't read the title properly so I didn't notice the "TS". I was so disappointed when I wanted to watch that and found out it was TS. 100% my own fault, but still sucked.

I haven't encountered a captive portal at all. I can use the internet just fine without VPN.

I've used mullvad but that can't punch through either no matter what. Unfortunately I don't have enough mobile data abroad to fuel my streaming needs for the entire duration of my trip.

I'll talk to the reception when I get back to the hotel I guess...it's really frustrating and I hate using hotel WiFi without a VPN.

The garbage bin...I'm not wasting storage space keeping a few grams of material, nor am I wasting time on useless models that I'll eventually throw out anyway.
