Again, you say that like it's a fact. Gentlemens agreements can be broken with everyone. Low key bullying or lying about is not acceptable for anyone for gentlemen. You seem to have a misunderstanding what "gentlemen agreement&quo

> Those "gentleman's agreements" were not that great if you happened to be a woman, gay or any other minority. You just say that like it's a fact, but... why would that be the case?

There shouldn't be any reason for on-demand to be bad for the swarm, given that the downloading node continues to seed afterwards, no? If the user can watch the content because it's downloaded on-demand and automatically lets it s

I've used android phones since I've had modern smartphones and I've had a similar experience. The built in keyboard by google/aosp was always flaky and, especially on small screens, a pain to use. I'll describe my k

You'd usually look up stuff like that with a shot in the dark into the fuzzy-searching command bar, I believe it's available with ctrl+shift+p? It's been a while since I've used sublime.

My local game store began hosting Pauper games, which is an eternal format where only common cards are allowed. Due to the age of some of the legal cards it can still get "expensive", but top meta decks can be bought for about 50€
