The average Joe or Jane have no idea about ad blocking possibilities. They think ads are just the normal price you pay for surfing the web.

I have even shown people the difference between their browsing experience and mine, and still they can't be arsed to install an ad-blocker.

But then again, they use tiktok and Instagram and all the other brain-numbing shit out there.

Not a lawyer. By the letter of the law, yes.

They had to jump the fence - presumably the gate was secured - in order to get to the house. Further, they walked around the property looking for the owner. This looks to anyone without more knowledge, very much like trespassing.

Just my 2 cents, I'm not trying to defend or accuse anyone.

I found it easy to follow - much easier than typical graphs.

The Guinness Book of World Records is in the Guinness Book of World Records itself, for being the book most stolen from libraries.

I need hearing aids. My aids are so small they fit completely in my ear, so unless you are standing up close, you can't see they are in. I've had them for about 3 years and I'm still blown away how small they are and how well they help me.

In about 1968, my dad drove round the roundabout in front of Buckingham Palace so us kids could get a better gander at the palace.

We got pulled over by a Bobby on the third circuit, and I kid you not, his first question was 'What's going on here, then?' We were told if we wanted a better look, we would have to park the car and walk - like everyone else. The answer to the question is 3.

That is how apes open bananas too.

Not that I'm implying anything of course.

That's not Germans, that's Luxemburgers. Many Germans speak English, some will speak the neighbouring country's language close to the border, but not 5 languages.

When driving don't be nice, be predictable.

Eg.: If you are on the priority road, drive - don't be nice and slow down to let someone in from a side road. That's how you get rear-ended.

He didn't say he started with COVID, he started 'and then came the pandemic'.
