George Tirebiter, 1950.
Mission Statement: to do very little, for very few, for not very long. Disappointing the easily pleased since 1819. Not as good as it used to be from Day One. History is Bunk - PT Barnum. Artificially Intelligent before it was fashionable. Fat camp for the mind! Nothing lasts, but nothing is lost. The Shock of the Old! Often bettered, never imitated. "Wenn du lange in einen Abgrund blickst, blickt der Abgrund auch in dich hinein" - Pauly Shore.
As a Brit Firesign fan, I had no no idea that George Tirebiter was a real person/dog, until I heard him mentioned on the Bob Hope radio show. He has his own wiki page, should you be desirous of adding to your knowledge base.
ReplyDeleteThis is by way of introduction to the best portal to free media/apps/whatevers on the internet. I used to use piratebay exclusively, and get books from anna's archive. Recently I discovered how great rutracker is. Yes, it's Russian, but it's been going for a long time, has an unmatched range and depth of material, and is clean (ie nothing nasty going on that you can't see). It's also astonishingly quick, and even the most obscure torrents are still active.
But it is in Russian. There's a couple of workarounds, perhaps the easiest being to enter the item you're looking for, and the word "rutracker" into the search bar of whatever search engine you use. You'll be taken direct to the item, and you can download the torrent by clicking the rather obvious red link near the bottom of the post. You won't be able to go much further into rutracker from that link, because you're not registered, you'll have to back out and make a new search from your search engine. Sometimes changing your search term slightly will bring a better result. The other method is to translate the page (Firefox has a built-in translator), but this isn't really necessary.
You'll need a torrent client (they're free), and very possibly a vpn, if you live in a country where The Man watches your every internet move.
