I picked this up from my parents.

When I moved out, I lived with a flatmate for a few years and I left the washing machine door open after using it and my flatmate closed it.

I explained to her why I left it open and she just stared back at me. Not once had she ever thought of this and said it made so much sense. She is about 20 years my senior.

Certain habits seem to be so obvious, but unless handed down, someone may never even think of it.

Reminds me of that guy that never thought to let the shower water get warm before stepping in.

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.

A small rug I guess, just a square piece of carpet that I couldn’t bring myself to call a rug.

This was in her bedroom, and it looked like the regular snail or slug slime trail.

If you had seen it in person, you’d have known.

My guess is it got in through the window and was never able to find its way out and probably hid somewhere in her room during the day, coming out at night to uh… feast on… no idea.

It’s probably like a fly, can find its way into houses and things but not get out. It probably found a way onto the mat through the least resistance and then didn’t find a way back out by the time I found it.

Years ago I had a housemate and she told me that every night, a slug would leave a trail on her bedroom mat and this was going on for years. She could never find it or catch it.

She went away for a week or so for work so I poured some salt on her mat.

Next morning I go look and I find the slug stuck in the middle of the mat unable to escape.

Took a photo of it, tossed it out into the garden and vacuumed the mat.

Showed her the photo when she returned and told her what I had done. She was so relieved that the phantom slug had been dealt with.

My guest mug is my face photoshopped onto some buff dude dressed up as a unicorn.

I don’t, but my coffee mug does.

First thing I thought as well, there are a lot of issues in the photo.

Not even sure what that thing is on the floor to the left, the letters look wrong and so do the buttons and stove knobs.

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.

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.

and more.

You have no idea what my keyboard looks like right now, may have to replace it.

Man… I used to listen to Lost Prophets a lot in college.

Never again, can never revisit any songs ever.

There is a radio version and uncut version of the song.

The uncut version has some extra… vocals in the bridge which is what this post refers to.

Starts at about 3:26.

Starting at said time:

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.

Pros: I don’t have to sneak around like a criminal just to get a plant.
