I CHOOSE to drink!

I've used Pihole for so long.. I bought the original pi as a curiosity but Pihole was best use of it.

Here is the problem though, which i assume applies to all adblockers: everything is now "sponsored links". Google, Amazon, etc. They are of course blocked which is getting really frustrating.

So what do we do now? Is there a way to just send fake telemetry? Saw VLANs mentioned. Is that the way? I'm getting older and life gets busier and it's harder for me to keep up on this.

But coal workers are a bedrock of American ideals! We can't take their jobs!

Is a /s needed? I don't know anymore. Do people really enjoy being coal miners and want their children to follow that wonderful career? I can get a yes to that question but only from people who have no idea what that entails.

This drives me crazy. Take a solid platform like the FRS.. electrify it for something equiv to 300/300 and give it a 200 mile range. No fancy interior, lots of plastic, no lane assist etc. It would be fun and affordable. Same platform could be used for a more refined crossover.

I feel like Honda really should have done some type r civic thing but with electric.

I gotta say, that was an impressive amount of words to say nothing.

Some here posted about outdated systems on Walgreens. But yes, CVS is in the same boat. We are talking zotac mini-pcs from 15yrs ago. Factor in craziness that has been escalating forever with schedule 2 drugs and how insurance is always an issue among other things. Everyone who has ever stood in line watching this shitshow knows.

I feel very sorry for the workers. I wouldn't last a day. I've wanted to just jump over and hug my pharmacist many times for putting up with everything and still going out of their way to help me.

Fuck both of those corps.. You can't even shop there. Everything needs a membership to get the 2 for 1 offer which is on everything and yeah I could go on.

Unfortunately not many options. Online stuff hasn't been working out too well either.

Whoa.. this really happens? If so that's disgusting and doesn't seem legal. I was about to setup a dual boot for my laptop which has proprietary windows only software I need for work but now I guess i need to research a bit.

Been loving this app since the preview.

Reddit became a different site for me when I used baconit and w10m. Once i went to android there were a number of apps to try but i settled on boost.

After api changes I couldn't bring myself to install their app and i did miss it. l used liftoff here for a bit but this has been so much more functional. Truly a great job by the dev and worth the wait. The paid version seems like a steal given you can't get a good chicken sandwich anywhere near that.

I'll probably gift a few copies to friends and family just so i don't feel guilty.

Lord i sound like a paid amazon review. I'm as cycnal as they come though and not easily won over for what it's worth.

I could be crazy but I swear I've heard this a number of times before. It always seemed wonderful as my teeth tend to self-destruct. But nothing ever seems to come from it.

It would be nice if we just naturally grew a new set every 10 years or so but people with strong teeth would be quite annoyed at that especially if they had to do alignment.

You aren't kidding. My city was really slow on the Internet so i was using aol. Asking for certs and using CC generators. It was good times actually.

Then I tried IRC and kept getting kicked from every channel and someone finally gave a reason before before kicking me. When i messaged them explaining how i have no other way to access the internet they were actually really cool and invited me back to the channel. I didn't go back as I knew i carried an unacceptable tag.

A year or 2 later we finally got a provider and oh wow now i remember trumpet windsock and the chaos of trying to find anything.

I still remember seeing a Toyota commercial with a web address and being like wow this internet thing is really taking off!

Now we've come full circle and i have to argue with my parents about the "truth" on Facebook. It's got its perks but terminals and desqview times make me miss the simplicity.. or complication. Depends how you look at it .

Well look at that, a simple logical explanation.

Oh and thank you sir for your app. I went to paid version before i even loaded any content. I look forward to it's future

There are plenty of more justified directions we can go with pitchforks and torches for sure my friends.

An app in itself isn't a bad thing.. it's the requirement that is wrong. Everything these days does seem to be geared around data mining and control. That well has to be getting awfully dry because it's getting worse and worse.

You can't even use many products without having an app that needs to be connected online so it can read your contacts and searches and such. Sites are getting harder to use if you have a DNS ad blocker or VPN on. Not sure where it ends..
