Challenge #1In terms of journaling, the goals question is an easy one. This year I've been aiming for posting one book review and one game review per week. I already know what July's books will be and three of those reviews are already written. I like to have a backlog so weeks don't sneak up on me and become a scramble. By my standards I'm a little behind on games (only this week's post is ready to go! gasp!) and I'm not sure yet what the other games will be. I want to do some more retro titles since I've been leaning towards modern games lately. So one July goal is to play some old games and/or finish the ones I'm in the middle of. And to figure out what I'm reading/playing for August.
Journaling Prompt: Light up your journal with activity this month. Talk about your goals for July or for the second half of 2025.
Creative Prompt: Shine a light on your own creativity. Create anything you want (an image, an icon, a story, a poem, or a craft) and share it with your community.
been a member of the site for decades by now, have a ton of files that has lost its .torrent over the years.
Wrote myself a pythonscript so far to filter my files, query imdb to get the imdbID, query torrentleech the idmbID and return a json (without html, just raw json). Next step is to query this list for the ${torrent_id}#torrent-files-panel to return an exact match of the files i have, vs the ones on torrentleech so that the seeding can begin. However i cannot find a neat way to return this without parsing the whole html which seems overkill. Anyone know of a way to return a file list only from a torrent/file id from torrentleech?

It doesn't matter how many new tv shows or movies I watch I always catch myself going back to the same comfort ones when I just can't find anything else to watch or when I need some background noise while i'm cooking my dinner or cleaning the dishes. It's one of them: office or Interstellar (completely different genre I know) but even tho I know what will happen next I'm still able to find great joy because of how good they were made. What’s your comfort movie? Curious what everyone’s go to is when you just wanna chill out.
"Sophia, will you pose with your brother for a photo?"
"I will, but I'm very angry about it!"

Wot a saga, eh, wot a saga, first time I have ventured significantly forth these many years -
And to start with, MAJOR HEAT EVENT.
In anticipation, I had - or so I thought - prudently booked a taxi via taxiapp, with a certain amount of leeway, just in case -
- which turned out very prudent, as when I went to check the booking this morning the app was showing 'network error' and this was clearly on their end rather than mine, and a little looking about suggests that this is not their first rodeo server problem.
So when, at designated time, taxi cameth not, I set out towards the Tube, not without some hope that a black cab might pass me on my way, but that Was Not To Be -
And on reflection, I should perhaps have waited for a Bank train, because getting out on Charing X platforms at Euston involves rather too many stairs.
However, Avanti kindly texted me the approx time my train would be boarding, and this all seemed set - although my (1st class) seat was aisle, backwards, there was nobody in the other 3 seats so I switched -
HAH.
When we reached Coventry, choochoo sighed and gave up, and we had to debouch and take the next Birmingham bound train - which was delayed....
At Birmingham New Street had considerable faff trying to discover a Way Out that would take me to a taxi rank.
When I finally arrived at hotel booked by conference organisers there was an immense performance trying to find the right group booking, as it was not under any title that I might have thought of but that of some hireling booking agency.
However, I am now in nice cool room and have had tasty room service snack. Even if I have had to wrestle with getting my laptop to talk to the free wifi...
I think the first film is a masterpiece. One of Spielberg's greatest films of all time. Maybe not number 1 but top 5 if not 3. I watched it last year for the first time in years. I didn’t think it would be all that good anymore with how lifeless the series felt in the modern age. But no. It’s still an amazing movie that lives on its simplicity. Dinosaurs are brought back. At first it seems magical. Then it’s a nightmare.
And now with the seventh movie in the franchise coming out I’m feeling that same tired and apathetic feeling I felt before I re-experienced the original. This really feels like it was not meant to be a franchise. The first film is very simple and the minute you try to stretch it beyond that you lose the appeal. It’s not like Indiana Jones where you can have multiple adventures. That’s why we have Dial of Destiny a chance because a fifth movie could’ve worked. But with Jurassic I just can’t see it.
And I feel like with how lifeless the series feels now it’s easier and easier to forget how amazing the first one actually is. Which is why I’m not even bothering to see this one. I saw some reviews of it and that was enough for me to learn this wasn’t worth my time or money. We should listen to the ending of the first one and let these creatures stay gone and not try to bring them back because it never works.
Not sure how anyone else feels about this. For anyone who has actually seen it is there actually something in Rebirth that’s worth while?
I registered a long time ago with an email I barely use anymore, worried that I might lose access to the email account due to inactivity. Can I change to my current email?
