The best way I can explain it is it’s like when kids will say:

“You’re stupid!”

“Nuh-uh!”

“Yuh-uh!”

Jo is like “yuh-uh” but not as silly sounding because it’s used all the time in normal conversation. I think doing it on the inhale is just a way of making it sound less aggressive/argumentative but I’m not really sure.

I've been getting this message with 1337x.to recently with whatever VPN I use so had to disable it:

Unable to access 1337x.to, blocked by CloudFlare Protection.

But do you think they're currently the best on there?

I've been having trouble since rarbg shut down and have been having to manually check downloaded files because so many of them are poor quality, not even playable or completely different movies/shows. YTS has been decent for movies but over the last 48 hours it's been failing (maybe because of the cloudflare issue but who knows)

  • I know the easiest solution would be to cough up the money for a usenet sub but I don't want to unless absolutely necessary.
  • I'm not on any private trackers.

So what public torrent indexers do you use and what order do you have them in?

In Norwegian, "ja" (pronounced ya) means "yes" for positive questions, while "jo" (pronounced yoo) means "yes" in response to a negative question (contradicting a negative statement).

A fun thing about it is that it’s often pronounced on the inhale rather than the exhale.
