Yes it is. Just like how The Shawshank Redemption is an after New Year's movie.

Yeah might have to rely on them I guess. You'd think it be something simple to do, but nope.

I did like The Mountains of Mourning, but it felt a bit too local? It had a nice mystery/detective aspect to it

I think the person who made the page, made it in the late 90's when they registered the domain, they probably only update the links and text 😅

Website last updated in 2016 should tell you all you need to know..

Haha yes I know. The books get recommended a lot over on r/printsf ( I really wish we had a community like this on lemmy), but I couldn't get over the horrible romance novel type covers for a long time. Let us know what you think if you do read them!

They are definitely not literary or hard sci-fi, but I can't deny they are very fun to read. Reminds me of watching Firefly in a way when it first released.

I may be asking the wrong crowd, but anyone know the easiest way to gift vbucks for Fortnite? I was looking at the digital gift cards from EB games, but it has a really convoluted way of redeeming them on Xbox, which I'm not sure a child knows how to do.

Elfhosted has a status page: https://status.elfhosted.com/ that includes the non elfhosted Torrentio.

According to the Torrentio dev their VPS has been blocked so they have to find new hosting: https://github.com/TheBeastLT/torrentio-scraper/issues/288

I've got an easynews usenet subscription I'm using as a backup.

Ah yeah that's always the risk importing something that doesn't officially ship or sell here. I'm guessing it's to do with providing support and warranties with areas that it's not officially sold?

Hope you find a solution, otherwise take a holiday to the US 😂

Wise has been very handy for me, being able to add different currencies and pay for things overseas. You're right though, they may already know the freight forwarder addresses. Do they not have an international store? It'd be really annoying buying an upgradable laptop and not being able to get any of the upgrades!

Can you use a Wise or Revolut virtual card and pay in US currency?

 

I picked up a cheap Inkbird sous vide earlier in the year and it’s been great to use for steaks etc. But we haven’t been buying much meat lately due to prices and I’m wondering if I’m overlooking any less obvious uses for it?

Feel free to share your favorite Weird Al songs!

 

Really? Trying to capture the NIMBY vote?

 

Always found this a banger. Make sure you have both sides of your headphones in.

 

The Spirituality and Distortion album has quickly become one of my favourites.

 

I've been listening to the Morning View album recently and it still holds up 22 years later IMO
