Turns out–they were!

Has anyone mentioned BARRY LYNDON yet?

We’ve often described this as “…the best film you’ve never heard of.”

Another satisfied Arc Browser user.

Just realized I’ve got a wide selection: Windows, MacOS, Android, and EndevourOS, and Manjaro. (I haven’t booted the Windows box in MONTHS…)

Many seem to have the attitude that if you never use them, the bulbs will never burn out. Problem solved.

My sister and I got a Ouija board as teens because we were curious. We had a few interesting sessions, but things got dark one afternoon after school. Words were being misspelled that we both knew the correct spelling of. The messages were getting aggressive. At one point the message announced that both our parents had just died in a auto accident on the way home from work. (It was after 5 at that point.)

They both arrived safely, but a couple of hours later a friend came over who led a weekly class in metaphysics. (This was the late '60s.)

The instant he walked in the door, he froze. He announced with great concern that there was someone present to needed to be encouraged to move on.

At the beginning of that night’s class, he held some kind of ceremony encouraging whatever that was to leave.

We put the Ouija board away and never used it again.

When I first got the Roku, I had a “Oh, HELL NO!” moment when I saw that the Youtube app delivered fresh, sticky ads to my eyeballs–for which I have zero tolerance on all my devices.

A little research resulted, and I ordered a Pi 4. A couple of days later, after it was set up, I realized that PiHole (and later, AdGuard Home) would NOT filter out Youtube ads (although they work quite well for OTHER ad-filtering).

Shortly after that, Youtube offered me a free, 3-mo subscription, upon which I bit.

$11.99 felt steep to me, but I begrudgingly complied. At $13.99? That might be a deal-breaker.

If someone can point me towards a tutorial on blocking YT ads on both Roku & Android TV I’ll cancel my Premium subscription as soon as I see it working.

Another hand in the air for Feedly.

Further confirmation that I am, indeed, above average.
