A young single mother looked up and felt her privacy evaporate when she noticed a tiny camera in the bathroom ceiling of the basement apartment she lived in with her toddler.

She said it looked like a screw, no bigger than a pinky nail.

"But I had a feeling it wasn't a screw. I was shaking, I was in sheer, utter panic," she said in an interview from her mother's home in Digby County, N.S.

The woman, who CBC News cannot name because her identity and the identity of her son are protected by a court-ordered publication ban, said finding the camera turned her world upside down.

This is a weekly thread to get to know /r/anime's community. Talk about your day-to-day life, share your hobbies, or make small talk with your fellow anime fans. The thread is active all week long so hang around even when it's not on the front page!

Although this is a place for off-topic discussion, there are a few rules to keep in mind:

  1. Be courteous and respectful of other users.
  2. Discussion of religion, politics, depression, and other similar topics will be moderated due to their sensitive nature. While we encourage users to talk about their daily lives and get to know others, this thread is not intended for extended discussion of the aforementioned topics or for emotional support. Do not post content falling in this category in spoiler tags and hover text. This is a public thread, please do not post content if you believe that it will make people uncomfortable or annoy others.
  3. Roleplaying is not allowed. This behaviour is not appropriate as it is obtrusive to uninvolved users.
  4. No meta discussion. If you have a meta concern, please raise it in the Monthly Meta Thread and the moderation team would be happy to help.
  5. All /r/anime rules, other than the anime-specific requirement, should still be followed.

Hey, releases by PAL-CultFilms™ are dope with often best quality possible as it is straight from dvd. Im currently trying to download The Smurfs (1981-1989) 32xDVD9 1xDVD5 PAL-CultFilms™ but with no luck. It is more than 200 gigs so its getting difficut at this point. The question is: is there a place that archives CultFilms™ releases on lets say rapidgator or other warez dl site?

I've set up an old laptop with Linux mint some months ago, and while the laptop's speed is fine when there are no disk write, even a very small write can cause other applications to hang until it is done, and i can also tell because i have an IO led so whenever it is on i know that i can't really interact with stuff whenever it's on.

SMART status doesn't seem to report anything, (tested some weeks ago, but issue was always present), but i'm willing to test again and show screenshots.

I'll show some maybe relevant information, note that my Linux fs is mounted on sda7.

some forums online suggested looking at /etc/fstab:

/etc/fstab

# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda7 during installation

# /boot/efi was on /dev/sda2 during installation

the following is an output of sudo hdparm -i /dev/sda7:

I've been using evince to open PDFs. But for larger PDFs it is quite laggy, for selecting the text and stuff like that. Is this just a limitation of my computer, or are there faster alternatives to evince?
