    Get a usenet provider. There are many to choose from and there are comparison sites out there. I use cheapness because it gives me a second limited connection to another provider, this helps to make sure everything I want is available by using two possible sources.

    Get a nzb indexer, there are some that are preset in rather sonarr and radar screens. Some of them have paid plans that let you do more searches per day.

    Configure your arr programs just like you did with torrents.

    Done. Won’t matter the downvote brigade already sided with the self proclaimed firefighter.

    I learned this from R/C cars many years ago when Lipo came put. It’s a tried and true method that many people in the hobby use to make the battery safe for transport to the recycling facilities.



  • Most people want the question free returns, that’s really the thing keeping amazon afloat compared to say eBay or aliexpress. Sure you can get the stuff directly from China in most cases, but you have to wait for a month for it to arrive and hope you don’t need to return it.

    As for local stores, they always cost more because of the cost of doing business, which is why Amazon is cheaper and faster to deliver.

    All that said, as long as you can wait a few days, there is no need to pay for Prime, you can still get all the stuff shipped for free if you just wait until you have 45 bucks of stuff to buy.

    I’m going to go against what you just said, even though you might be a firefighter.

    Take that battery OUTSIDE AWAY FROM ANY TREES OR YOUR HOME and put it in salt water to kill it completely. The water should have so much salt in it that the salt refuses to stir in and you can see the salt at the bottom after heavy stirring meaning the water cant dilute the salt anymore. .

    The salt water bath over the next two days will completely drain the battery to 0 volts at which point it is no longer dangerous.

    The salt water method is the only fully safe way to handle that battery.
