Looking for a lightweight ccf sleeping pad for my first backpacking trip.
Which of these should I get? They're some of the few ccf pads that are wider than 20 which I prefer a lot as a sidesleeper

The Ship of Theseus allegory is a question that a lot of science fiction works explore. If an old ship's parts were replaced one by one with completely identical materials, would it still be the same ship? Now let's scale it to a future where that very line that made us human has blurred. We now have people who are digitally immortal and sentient ai. Are they human? Or better yet, are they even considered to be genuine sentient life? Some would say they're just digital imitations, while others may argue that any life that can think for itself is life. Does it even matter?
It's a very common trope I've seen in my favorite scifi works, in Blade Runner that's replicants, and in Mars Express that's backups.
In the end, Maddie loses her son, Caspian, and the world ends. But it's later revealed that this was just part of a simulation of another version of Maddie. One of the many created by a god-like Maddie driven with the sole purpose of finding answers to Caspian's final words. But God Maddie herself, was simply another layer of the simulation created by SafeSurf as a gift. The reality which can be considered as the original has long passed. Personally I don't care about getting into what was the true ending.
For me, simulation or not, humanity persisted despite being unrecognizably changed by technology. Holstrom as evil as he was was driven by his vision of a post-scarcity digital utopia. Ping was driven by his socialist ideals, Vinod wanted coexistence, Caspian became more than the clone he was meant to be, and Maddie was driven by her love.
One of the most fascinating things introduced by the show was that digital immortality would shift our perspective of time and causality. We would experience time in a way that completely outpaces humans. What makes life meaningful if we have eternity? Isn't what makes us human our mortality? Our finite lifespan gives us our uniquely human perspective. It's what gives our actions weight.
You'd think after thousands of years Maddie would cease holding onto her humanity especially after uploading. But no, she held onto her humanity. She created a simulation powered by a dyson sphere, type 2 on the Kardashev scale. She chose to do something undeniably human with the immense power she possessed.
Maybe I'm naive, but if placed in the same circumstances I would have made the same choice Maddie made in the end.
Upgraded my essential plan to the pro and can't get it to work in aiostreams. How do I know usenet is working?
Looking to upgrade my Onn 4k plus and looking for a box with
I used the shield before but looking something with Dolby vision and newer software
-DTS support
-android 14
-Ethernet port
-32 GB storage
Anything under 200 usd is fine
-support for av1, hevc, avc
I'm setting up aiostreams and I'm wondering which are the best release groups to filter for official high quality subs
So far I've only used erai-raws horriblesubs, and subsplease
I use it with seadex but that's only for coding the best quality not best sub
I used to use Stremio but now use Nuvio with aiostreams/aiometadata/rd/tb/debridio with Debrid Stream as a backup.
