Same, also a Nova refugee using Lawnchair.

One thing I don’t like though, is if you change the homescreen grid size it destroys everything and you have to start over with your homesdreen icons.

UBlock Origin works for me in Firefox, but the last time YouTube was at war with adblockers I had to retore default settings in uBlock every few days.

I can’t remember the process but I think I had to reset the settings and do something with the lists.

You can also try a desktop app like Freetube. There is no algorithm through, if you are looking for that. It sometimes breaks when YouTube makes changes and everything is stored locally, so you have to back up your subscriptions if you plan on reinstalling Windows at some stage.

See if you can default uBlock Origin, that method worked before.

I once worked with an engineer from Glasgow and I had him at our logistics depot in London so I could do some training with him.

Somehow, no idea, but he just wandered off and found the one other person from Glasgow in the whole building. Turns out they were even from the same area.

Sniffed him out. Came back to me with a smile on his face and said it was great being able to speak to someone without having to put on an accent just so they could understand him.

Bonus story.

Him and I were walking to the store to get some lunch and he was telling me about all the London stereotypes he heard of and he mentioned rats. Rats everywhere.

I told him I’ve never seen one, but I have seen a few mice here and there running around on the tracks in the central London tube stations and just a few seconds later, this bloody fat rat ran across the path in front of us and into a bush.

THERE THERE, SEE! THERE! he yells.

Dammit… of all the times I see a rat in London it had to be with him.

I use Firefox and uBlock Origin and for the last week or more every Youtube video I open takes about 10 or so seconds to open, just sitting there spinning.

Nah, he gives me that creepy feeling.

He has that creep factor.

I’ve seen people post about how black cats are not popular because they do not photo well.

I disagree, I think they photo well.

It’s just a solid colour with eyes floating there. They make great photos.

You’ll be sitting there wondering… where is my cat and then the TV opens its eyes.

The reason I don’t buy booze and limit snack buying… if it’s in my house it is going to be consumed quickly.

It’s like a challenge, it’s there, it will be consumed.

Can’t even play the game.

I can spend as much time in the menu and settings as I want, watch the first cutscene just fine… but as soon as I enter the game it freezes within 1 minute every time.

Literally unplayable.

I’ve tried tweaks I found online, tried new drivers (the version mentioned in the launcher) and the previous driver version recommended on the official website and no changes.

Womp womp.

Installed Doom 2016 and enjoying it again.

I hate that we now have to inspect every image posted to see if it is AI generated.

But yes, this looks AI generated.

Look at the fox portraits on the wall, the faces are wrong.

Thankfully my current flat can get some airflow.

I have a fan aimed down the passage to get some air to move.

My last flat was the main issue, such a small and square flat and did not allow air to flow easily.

It really should have been a studio flat, remove some walls and it would have opened up and seemed much larger and the air would flow easier.

Yeah, tried that and no difference that I noticed.

Top floor flat, full contact with the sun.

No trees around.

My downstairs neighbour is shielded by the building across the road in the afternoon, he is cooler.

I drank so much water but eventually I just stopped sweating.

11pm would roll around, still 35C and when I woke up in the morning it was still about 30C.

I had all my windows open over night.

Nothing works in my flat or the one before.

All windows open, got a fan blowing with the direction of the breeze.

All windows closed, blinds and curtains closed, close off the warmer rooms.

My thermometer shows no difference day to day in my kitchen area.

I was in the loft in my last flat, sloped ceilings and they had zero insulation. Only the top part of the ceiling where it was flat had insulation. The sloped parts of the ceiling were hot to the touch and it got up to 37.5 Celsius over the one summer.

I put my ear thermometer to my metal keyboard and it read 42 Celsius.

The way the house was positioned, the wind used to blow along it and I only had windows front and back, so zero breeze at all.

Yup, cat got its stuck in a vase, it broke and now they are at the vet.

I’d argue that Bojo is also a joke candidate.

I’ve always found him to be creepy, just got that feeling from him.

I cringe every time I see him.

Mine has not broken exactly, but some sites just break.

As in I cannot click the buttons to decline or accept cookies or scroll the page. I’ll have to open my Pi-Hole’s page and disable blocking for a few seconds and refresh the broken page.

I know it has worked when the page dims and the buttons are more in focus. Decline, site works again.

I showed my mom what white vinegar can do to limescale.

My parents live in South Africa so limescale isn’t a major issue, but some builds up in kettles over time.

So I told her about vinegar, put some in the kettle and you could basically see it dissolving and breaking up in real time.

I remember when people were selling Dota2 invites, the price was way too high for me but then again I didn’t really have interest in it.

Well, I got invited somehow and when a guy I worked with heard, he demanded my Steam credentials.

Why? Because he wanted to play.

I told him no, that’s not happening. So he tried to guilt me, be a bro!

No, because that means I will be locked out of my games. Whenever you go online and play I will get kicked out of Steam and unable to play my games.

So? he says, do me a solid!

Told him to stick it. I did not trust him, he used to tell me stories of pretending to be a girl in games for free stuff. He pretended to be a girl in WoW and so many guys in his guild would give him free stuff and boost him through dungeons.

But yeah, scalpers suck. But I also don’t understand wanting to get into a beta that badly that you’d pay that much for it. I guess some people are loaded and that amount is nothing to them.

On his knees and ready to please.
