I haven’t bothered with torrents since we cancelled all our streaming services. Usenet is so good right now. SABNZBD, Sonarr, Radarr, Plex, Overseerr for my family requests/Plex share users. Finding a few good providers/indexers was really cheap (Black Friday sales were great last year).
It definitely takes a lot of fucking around/learning initially, but once you’ve set it up right, it’s seamless.
Somewhat related - I hear real-debrid is a pretty slick way to basically stream torrents, if you don’t have access to a bunch of physical storage. Haven’t tried it myself, but people seem to dig it.
In literally every rural town I’ve been in, there’s a Mexican restaurant, and it’s always the town favorite. Celebrating a birthday? You’re getting some fajitas.
If you ever find yourself hungry and trapped in the boonies, the Mexican restaurant is usually a safe bet.
