  • Thank you. I was worried that I was shouting at brick walls for a moment.

    I also use Stremio with Real-Debrid. The girlfriend knows nothing about piracy, but Stremio is so easy and convenient that my mother could use it. She uses it almost daily to watch anime that she can’t find on Crunchyroll.

    People are suspicious cause it does sound too good to be true; I get it. Being able to stream any 4K HDR video you want without buffering seems unbelievable. It’s a little frustrating cause I always seem to get downvoted by a bunch of skeptics every time I bring up Debrid. Maybe cause I come on too hard and sound like an advertisement, but I can’t help but be fanatical about it. It’s just so much better than any other method for obtaining free content!





  • Even if that were true, Debrid services are still faster. Torrents can take a minute or two even get started in torrent clients. Debrid is instant, even if the torrent doesn’t have a lot of seeds. Think of it like a shared seedbox, where anyone can add to/download from it. And like I said, it’s cheaper than a VPN.

    But whatever, do what you want. If you don’t want to try it, that’s on you. I literally offered to pay for it, and you still won’t give it a shot it. I give up.

    (Some people, man.)


  • Bro, you have no idea what you’re turning down. I get it; on the surface it does seem sus. I was suspicious too until I tried it. Debrid is an absolute game-changer. It’s kind of like a seed box, except it’s more like a collective seed box. So if at least one user added the torrent before, you can download it immediately.

    I don’t know what you mean by “lack of detail / pricing” on their website. The pricing is laid out very clearly, and there’s not a lot of explanation cause it’s really that simple. (EDIT: Looks like you need to make a free account to see the pricing; I’ll admit that’s stupid). So here’s a screenshot:

    You don’t have to use Real-Debrid. I just mentioned them cause they’re the most popular. Google “Debrid services” for alternatives. There’s also a megathread on reddit.

    I get the “never pay for piracy” argument, but with torrents you need a VPN to keep your ISP off your ass, so at the end of the day, you’re paying for piracy regardless. Debrid is cheaper than a VPN.

    It bothers me so much that you’re not willing to give it a shot, that I made a video to show you how fast, easy, and convenient it is. And here’s another video of me streaming a movie almost instantly, in case you still think I’m full of shit. (Videos might still be processing when you see this, so try again later if the quality is too low for you to see what I’m doing.)

    Next time try grilling or pan frying the vegetables for more flavor; don’t steam them. Use olive oil like the other person said.

    Also you didn’t heat the stove/grill enough for a proper sear. Next time use more heat. Get it as hot as you can. The outside should be more brown and crispy than that, while still being rare to medium-rare on the inside. Same thing applies to steak. More temperature, less time.

    EDIT: One thing I like to do is hit the meat with a blowtorch first, and then stick it on the grill/stove. It definitely helps get the browning process (i.e. Maillard reactions) going.






  • See that’s the problem with you truck people; a V6 is considered weak in your world.

    Meanwhile the V6 in my Genesis Coupe is fast enough to get me to 60 MPH in under 6 seconds. And unlike a truck, it can actually take a corner at speed.

    Unless you’re a farmer, there’s no reason to own a truck. I even bought one once to see what the hype was all about; got rid of it after less than a year cause I was sick and tired of getting 18 MPG and not even having fun while doing it. If I’m going to get poor fuel economy, I should at least be able to go fast.

    EDIT: I mean I get the “more practical” argument, but let’s be honest with ourselves here: How often do you REALLY use the truck bed? With the money you’re saving in gas by driving something smaller and more economical, you could easily afford to rent a truck each and every time you need to move something. You’re literally spending twice as much as you need to in gas, just for those occasions where you might need to use the bed. A U-Haul is less than $100/day (inc. gas + mileage); you’re spending more than that every time you fill up, when you could be saving over $50 each time at the pump. It’s simple math.



  • Hijacking this comment cause more people REALLY need to know about Debrid services, such as Real-Debrid. It “caches” torrents, so anything you want can be downloaded instantly at your connection’s maximum bandwidth; no waiting for seeds. And since you’re not distributing anything, you don’t have to pay for a VPN, either.

    I have a Gigabit connection and was able to download three different AAA titles, 50+ GB each, play all of them, then decide that I don’t like any of them, all within a couple of hours. It’s mind-blowing how much faster it is than using a torrent client.

    Even better, you can integrate it with your favorite media center app like Plex or Kodi (personally I prefer Stremio for its Netflix-like interface). Now you have every show and film from every streaming platform – all in one place – streamed instantly to your TV. I’ll never use torrent clients ever again. They take too long.
