Fuck Ruleflix In General Too

From a UX perspective, would you prefer the site pretends they never heard of James Bond, rahter than confirming it's existence and (un)availability?
I don't use Netflix, so I apologise if the UI is actually intentionally misleading, but that otherwise sounds like good UX.

Folder/file name structure for eBooks

Lots of varied advice in the thread. I would suggest you choose a software first, then find recommended naming for it. Many will do some organisation for you, or even let you define the structure.

I don't like calibre, but it's undeniably the most complete solution. I'm not a fan of having to remote into a desktop for certain actions that given frontent doesn't support (there are many).

Some other options: https://selfh.st/apps/?tag=Books

Doing our part

I usually stick to water/tea/coffee, so when I buy something, I'm probably treating myself to a milkshake. I say this because it's only a problem with thicker liquids and drinks that are shaken, but no matter what, that shit is dripping from the lid on my face or shirt, unless I drink in the most awkward angle or enact some uncouth acts with the lid first.

Permanently removed my LG TVs WiFi privileges

It literally takes screenshots of what you're watching (this was known for a while) and listens to your conversations in standby.

The question is - are you happy to keep your door open, invite a stranger to stand in your room whilst you go about your day? If not, why do we allow electronics to do the same?

The concern then is this data is sold and used against you by insurance and so on.
This isn't a conspiracy, this does happen.

The duality of humans

Good question! The silver actually dissolves in contact with their blood and causes their cells to rapidly tear themselves apart, diminishing in the process. So a trace amount of silver would hurt terribly, but would likely not kill them.
