Wait, THREE days in a row? And he just stood there scrolling his phone like it was a normal thing? That's next level. I would've lost it by day two for sure.

14 tabs at 10pm does sound like a lot, I get why the mom was worried. Those late night browsing sessions can mess with a kid's sleep schedule for sure. Glad you could help her set up some boundaries without judging her for it.

So how long did it take you to actually change them after that?

The Internet Archive saved my bacon last year when I was hunting down a rare 90s educational video that had basically vanished. I spent weeks on private trackers too, and honestly, the time it took just to get an invite was a headache. @umac71, you're right that they're a pain, but once you're in something like PTP or BTN for movies, the quality difference is huge. My advice is to focus on the Archive first for anything that's been around a while, then hit a tracker like MyAnonamouse if you get stuck. Takes some doing, but it's worth it in the end.

And nobody talks about how those old 12 valves actually got worse fuel mileage than people remember.
