    So Stremio works like a database of sources of a video, so you’ll see an entry for a movie/series/etc and it will show if Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, etc has it available. When you get certain plugins installed for Stremio, it will show you listings not just from non-torrent sources it will show listings from torrent sites as well.

    Then you can scroll down the list and click the entry that you want to try to view.









  • Lots of things that can be done that aren’t “get attacked by police” as has been mentioned in other comments.

    Also, its a very VERY good idea to be a lifeline for those who are out there directly confronting police/chuds in a protest/demonstration/etc. You sit back in a safe place with a short list of comrades who are supposed to check in with you periodically. Are they okay? Did anybody get arrested? Did the group get separated from each other? You being back “in the rear” with a cellphone and notepad waiting for the check-in calls or calls for help or the final call of the group to say “we’ve all left the area and are at our respective homes and are reasonably safe” its a huge boon that nobody talks about.

    Heck, you might be able to watch live streams of the action taking place and can push out information to your comrades that would be very difficult to get on the ground when it matters.








  • My shopping day aligns with a stocking/price update day at a nearby store. Somebody with a basket of price tags and a handheld has to walk the aisles, adjust the position of the tags on the shelf to match the product facings, and touch the handheld to the price tags. I also see the price tags knocked off the shelves and sitting on the floor fairly often.

    I get the reduction in paper waste but a negative for the customers is that with each delivery, the prices of items can change. So the same box of cereal you buy every week now has a lower labor cost to adjust the price by 1~5% every two to four days. (With paper printed tags, you might wait for a price increase/decrease of a certain percent before taking the time to change the price on the shelf which might take months.)

    Now, in the USA there’s a silly “pricing to the 9’s” thing. So in some cases, a small change in the cost of the goods could mean a price jump higher that the few cents per item the store is paying as stuff has its prices “rounded up” to the nearest 9 cents. So an adjusted cost of a box of cereal with its retail markup moves from 5.99$ to 6.09$ instead of 6.01$.
