Nine women accuse Jared Leto of sexual impropriety in new report

I can't stand this asshole and don't understand how he keeps nailing acting roles in top movies of genres I love. Anytime I see him cast in a movie I'm interested in, it just deflates my anticipation to almost zero.

30 Second to Mars used to be top tier like 10-15 years ago, but after seeing him about 5 years ago I've lost all respect for him in all aspects of his career. He took the stage dressed like Jesus and proceeded to spin around for 3 hours while the entire crowd sand his songs for him. Absolutely abysmal show.

Hopefully this is the last we need to hear and see of this jackass, but time will tell.

Its getting worse every year

This is a better version imo. These companies are going to kill consumerism of the PC market soon enough. It will take some time, like 20 years or so I imagine given the current landscape and old inventory, but these are the starting steps.

So you don't have a doctor's note?

I thought I was going to die on a plane during depressurization once. My head literally felt like it was going to pop from my forehead and the pain was so immense I hunched over as to not cause panic in the aircraft.

It had happened a couple other times before this particular instance where the front of my head felt immense pressure during the planes decent. It also caused major headaches that lasted several days after the incident.

I looked it up after this event and made an immediate appointment with my doctor. Turns out some 10% of men can be affected by this where fluid builds up in your forehead "sinus pouches" I'll call them, and during the planes decent it will depressurize. During depressurization this fluid will push against your brain. You can see a similar action with a half filled waterbottle during this time. They implode a little bit. That's what was happening to my head.

My doctor prescribed me a nasal spray I need to take 30 minutes before take off to drain my sinus. It's worked ever since.

At 10 they should know better. Now, I don't know the dynamic of this "neighborship", and pettiness is not the way to go about anything. At the same time though, it's only water.

Win10 custom PC stopped booting

This is not a TPM encryption issue, if it were you would be prompted for a recovery key instead of a standard BSOD. I would assume failing HHD/SSD/NVME boot drive or driver conflict. You can try launching into safe mode which will give you a chance to copy your data. If that fails, installing Windows into a new, empty drive or a Linux live environment may be another viable option to you.

Get yourself a small 2 bay NAS in mirror mode and get your data backed up.

Dwarf Fortress ASCII graphics only rule

Growing up, one of my best friends parents set us up with a terminal MUD connection. Basically an old school, text based only MMO. You had to type in your commands, "look north", "walk east", "attack ". I was able to make a Sayian character, walk around town and Kamehameha my foes. I recall finding Smurf village and getting killed many times by Papa Smurf.

I wish I remembered what server it was or if any even exist any more.

Pirates of Lemmy, how many torrents are in your queue that are just stuck?

About 3 years ago I got tired of stuck torrent queues and spent a few hours learning what Usenet is and it's various components. A little learning curve compared to torrents, but very comparable in the end. The only major difference is having to pay for a Usenet provider VPN and potentially subscribing to Usenet boards for membership.

I bought a yearly sub to a provider and lifetime sub to a very well know board. I justify the cost as money that would be wasted on a subscription service, except half the yearly cost. Usenet is now the primary download in my arr stack with torrent as a backup.

In my experience Usenet performs much faster than torrent, and there's no seeding requirement at all. Just grab and go. And it seems to have about 90% of what I'm looking for, from anime to old shows\movies (1950s to 20XX).

It’s an acquired taste.

Do you have a source on this? First I've read about honey bees being invasive.

If the claim were about yellow jackets I would believe it as they are still pollenators but not as effective as honey bees. Not to mention I see way more wasps, hornets and yellow jackets than honey bees combined in a single season. I'll see maybe one honey bee (if I'm lucky) a year in northern Ohio, but the latter are everywhere up here.
