I spent 15 years working nights. 3 x 12 hour shifts (which was the best way to work IMO) and 4 x 10.

I've been working 5 x 8 hour days for 4 years or so now and I guess I have adjusted some what but I still fucking hate it. 5 day working week is the absolute worst. The only saving grace I have now is my current job doesn't care when I start / finish as long as I complete my 8 hours so I end up going in at 4am so I can finish at 12 and actually have some day time to do other things.

Actual 9 to 5 is possibly the worst way to work imo

Any recommendations of a good alternative on android? I'm thinking I'll move to librewolf on desktop but they don't appear to have an android version.

Fair enough, research time for me! Thanks for the reply

theskyisfalling ,

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out!

Thanks for the recommendation :D

I'm 25 hours into FO: New Vegas so will be continuing that. I have finally got into it on this, my third attempt to do so.

I used the viva new Vegas mod guide and everything has run so smoothly and generally been a great experience so far so slowly making my way through it and finally enjoying it :D

I use a hacked fire stick but pretty sure the exact same setup is achievable on android TV.

You can use stremio + torrentio and utilise your current realdebrid subscription then just install your preferred vpn as well.

Fire up the VPN and connect so that all your traffic is going through that VPN connection and then load up stremio.

I used to use kodi and debrid and this stremio setup is night and day better and easier to use, my gf would refuse to use kodi but this operates so much like Netflix etc that she uses it all the time now as well.

It absolutely is, I even set up stremio on a fire stick for my sister and she is absolutely technologically illiterate and would never have understood kodi but with stremio she is doing just fine!

I'm not really sure what you are asking in the second part though. If I'm running stremio on my laptop then I have my airvpn connection running in the background so everything is going via that connection.

On the fire stick I use the proton VPN app and open that up, connect there then all the traffic on the fire stick is forced to go through there.

Using either method the stremio traffic has to go via the respective VPN. Maybe I'm missing something with the question though so if I'm being stupid please say and I'll try and help further :)

theskyisfalling ,

Ah OK, im with you now. If there is a way to do that then I don't know how I am afraid. I would personally just change up the connections so you could use the TV as one of them purely for the ease of it as I like to make my life as easy as possible xD

Sorry I can't help any further with that but good luck with your endeavours, if you choose to go stremio I think you'll be impressed compared to kodi :D

I am a print finisher in the UK and yes we still do a lot of business cards for people. More often than not these days though it tends to be more high end finishes things like foiling, duplex or triplexing with different coloured stocks, round corners etc.

Ten years ago and back we did a lot more high quantity shitty cards but I also worked in a more generic print place then so they may still get pumped through bigger places.

I'm actually foiling some business cards right now xD

Butt-friendly bike seat moves with your legs ( newatlas.com )

If you don't want a part of your body to get sore, then that part shouldn't be pushing against something that doesn't move along with it. That's the thinking behind the vabsRider bicycle saddle, the two sides of which pivot in time with your pedaling.

If you are getting a sore arse when riding a bike then your setup is wrong. There is no need for whatever this abomination is, if your "sit bones" are aching then you need to take the time to actually set your bike up properly.

It isn't just about the height you need to adjust the tilt, how far forward or back it is which is also dependant on how much reach you have with your stem and bars. The size of your frame which also affects things like your reach as well. The positioning of your feet on the pedals which is especially important if you are clipping in.

The list goes on and some shitty tilting saddle is not going to magically alleviate poor bike fit, it is just going to move the aches and pains to other areas on your body like your knees or your shoulders.

I remember the first time I listened to this album, mid acid trip standing in the middle of the Australian outback with zero light pollution, staring up at the most amazing night sky you'll ever see.

10/10 would recommend.

I moved from Mullvad to AirVPN when they made this change and have been pretty happy with it so far tbh, maybe check them out? :)

This is exactly what came to mind for me too.

theskyisfalling ,

I have been into bikes for nearly 30 years now and in all that time I have only ever found 1 bike shop that isn't up its own arse. Even if I go in an speak in a knowledgeable way about exactly what I want I will nearly always get condescending answers in return. They all act like this clique that you are not a part of and so look down upon you as an inferior.

So your experience doesn't surprise me in the slightest. On forums and the internet in general people bang on about your LBS and supporting your "local bike shop" and all that trash but why would I want to support a bunch of cunts who think they are better than me and actively go out of their way to try and prove that in every interaction.
