They have a paid method in place.

YouTube Premium.

Free access you pay with ads.

All of us cheapskates have been using adblock or YouTube vanced to get the service completely free.

I’m not going to curse them for making efforts to stop us leaching their service for free.

Your probably right.

There a completely separate issue though.

Very pleasant person.

The woman was German.

Why would Israel give a shit about these people murdering Germans?

If anyone would be making a measured response it should be Germany.

If it was my daughter being paraded through the streets dead, I wouldn’t be thinking about a very measured response right now. I’d probably be trying to level the entire country.

Duck duck go needs a lot of work to replace Google search.

I’ve used it for years but often I still get the shits and just bring Google up after duck duck go fails to find what I’m looking for.

I bought my wife a 'fake ’ diamond ring for the engagement ring.

She couldn’t tell her snooty friends that though, so she went and bought herself a very expensive ring with real diamonds.

She had the ring I bought her melted into my wedding band. I hate jewellery though so had no intention of wearing it. I agreed to wear it for a week after we got married. I’ve never worn it again. I haven’t even seen it since that first week. Over a decade. I wonder if it’s just lost, or she has it somewhere still.

I don’t care enough to ask.

It’s a short sighted argument to say baddies don’t follow the rules so your only restricting honest people.

In Australia assault rifles and automatics are just outright banned. You need a licence to own any type of gun, which takes 6 months waiting for background checks to be done. Guns must be kept in Safes etc.

So whilst a baddie might want to get an assault rifle and go on a kill rampage he can’t. There just aren’t any around. You can’t break in to a house and steal one.

Can organised crime get them? Sure. But that’s not what this is trying to stop. It’s preventing the impulsive bat shit crazy person going on a rampage.

It absolutely helps, as proven by Australias lack of mass shootings.

People who want to go hunting still can.

Seems pretty easy to control though.

Once spammer is detected, you just ban them and the account that invited, all the way up a down that invite tree.

Twitter made a small profit in 2018 and 2019. They lost money in every other year.

In fact the year before Musk started ranting about buying it, they reported their biggest loss ever.

The company was a disaster before and after Musk.

I have a fucked knee but it has nothing to do with my personality.

I just can’t run.

I still try when I play with the kids and end up limping around for a few days.

I don’t really understand what this image is implying.

I lived in a town with 50k back in the 90s. I don’t remember there ever being a bus service except for the school buses.

The town was pretty massive though. Half the town was on a plateau as well so you had to walk up a pretty huge hill to get to half of it.

There was quite a few taxi’s driving people around.

Maybe there was a bus that I never used and can’t remember. As a kid I rode everywhere. That hill was a son of a bitch though.

It definitely flew under the radar. I would say most people have never seen it.

It’s still a long way off being a millionaire or billionaire.

It’s pretty impressive someone can make that much money in a lifetime.

Yeah, the issue is, the laptop is full of photos. She took it to Apple after I failed to figure it out. They said they can wipe it but not recover the photos.

It’s just a crap system.

I don’t agree with the Mac one.

The Mac UI is basically windows 3.1.

It’s absolutely awful.

Also, windows will never brick your machine because of a full hard drive. My wife has a shitty MacBook air. She filled the drive completely. The OS can no longer function. It boots and that’s it. You can’t open anything, you can’t delete anything. Every single click says free up HDD space, even deleting files.

It’s so fucking bad.
