And youtube tried to ban adblockers….
Apt comparison. If anybody has any ways to get around YouTube ads on a Roku, I'd love to hear them lol. My pi hole can't handle it since they come from the same domain as the video.
I've been considering just patching a spare laptop to my TV and just streaming it that way. There are remote control devices and controllers you can attach to laptops.
I just got around it by not using roku. Just get a cheap used laptop somewhere and plug it into your TV. It doesn't even need to have a working screen. For the remote I just use my phone and the Unified Remote app. That app let's you use your phone as an input device for any computer on the same network that has the client software installed.

And now there are hundreds of people breeding cobras...
Dare I ask?
Cobra effect:
Cobras all over India, so government is like 'bring dead cobra, I gief moni". People are smart and breed cobras in their barn to collect more bounties. Government is like "you cheated, no fair. no more moni for cobra head". People release all bred cobras into the wild. Result: even more cobras in India.
Tax the rat farms
Oof. Why didn't the people who had cobras just kill them instead of releasing them? Idk, I just imagine I'd rather not have a bunch of cobras outside where I lived?
Like, I guess they could have driven them somewhere farther away to release them, but at that point wouldn't it be less work to kill them?
I mean unless it was just to spite the government (or convince them to start paying for cobras again), but that seems unlikely lol
His family got rich of the vodka since they basically had the monopoly on the vodka trade, they earned a shit ton of money of Russian state liquor. And by keeping the populace in a constant drunk state it made sure they stayed in power. Kinda ironic that his alcohol ban probably started political unrest and eventually the fall of the empire.
And by keeping the populace in a constant drunk state it made sure they stayed in power.
It's a good thing we don't do that anymore.
Sarcasm, I'm being sarcastic everyone
But even after the fall the ban was kept in place.
I melted my plastic shower curtains in the dryer.
What's worse?
You both have a lot to think about
How… did they even end up anywhere near the laundry machines in the first place?
I though it was fine.
It wasn't...
Was this your biggest mistake? Or.....?
I tried to power a PS3 controller with raw power from a cut outlet cord to USB.
A pop was heard.
What other big ideas have you had 😏
I powered a PS5 controller with a US outlet cord joined to USB.
You could hear a loud pop.
Most plastic doesn't melt below the boiling point of water. It's not intuitive that a dryer can get a lot hotter than that.
Only babies who don't even know what vodka is would make his mistake.
Why isn't it intuitive that a device designed to evaporate water quickly gets hotter than the boiling point of water
Because it is intuitive that water doesn't need to hit boiling point to dry off.
Yeah, vodka has such a long and rich history of good deeds in Russia. What a fool this fella is
There was a president who tried to ban bikinis in Brazil
and this is why we'll never be able to ban guns in America
Well, he was inbred so it's almost understandable
It's not like Prince Philip tried to ban tea in England. He was probably as inbred as they come and all he did was say a bunch of racist shit and then take a couple steps out of the limelight while gradually becoming half vampire half zombie 
Not exactly a role model, but still..
He's only 37 years old in that picture.
Wasn't it Lenin who banned vodka, then Stalin started a state run vodka company after he took over? Or did Lenin just reinforce the ban?
the royal family owned all the vodka companies/manufacturing before the revolution. it's always been a tool to fill state coffers
Tsar Nicholas ordered prohibition in 1914. RSFSR retained it after revolution until it was abolished in 1925.
Could you imagine the power of a sober Russia? It would be amazing. I once hung out with some Russians on the Chinese border, I had to quit drinking after a third of a fifth. They had 2 each, maybe more, was hard to function on that much vodka.
Close in second: The guy who tried to ban alcohol in America
It was actually a girl smh.
In Siberia they actually traditionally dried fly agaric (amanita muscaria) mushrooms. Flying reindeers are a thing, they always ate the mushrooms and got high af, but without any headaches the next day.
Vodka replaced the mushrooms, as its easy to store I guess. It was sold to them.
Flying reindeers are a thing
I'm sorry... What?
The santa claus story is veeery random. Like flying reindeers just like that, a dude in red-white clothes, a pine tree with red balls on it.
People dried fly agaric mushrooms on pine trees, they are red. Sibirian shamans dressed like a fly agaric mushroom and went from house to house to gift them to people and make them less depressed, because they are said to help with that
Its pretty funny and makes a lot of sense
Mushrooms -> magical woodland animals -> mythology
Where's the confusion?
That's like trying to prohibit alcohol in the United States
Which Tsar is this?
The last one
I wonder why 🤔
Because there were none after him /j
Nicholas II
Tsar Peter I taxed all men who wore beards.

Tsars were weird.
