I don't think there's any probing involved; I'm no expert, but I think it's typically more along the lines of "please stop using adblocker" being included by default for everyone, but loading the ads removes it. Stylish can also hide Facebook's annoying "please log in" message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Of House Hill Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Thanks. Blocking the element with uBlock Origin, also works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Heard a funny question on the radio: Quote Would you rather make love to a goat and nobody would know, or have everyone think that you did and it wouldn't be true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljkeane Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I saw a bird of prey perched on a branch about 6 feet away from me today. The first time I've ever seen one anything other than flying a fair distance away. After some googling it appears it was a red tailed hawk.

KiDisaster Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Moving on Saturday. From an apartment to a house. I am very excited to no longer have upstairs neighbors, and to have my own bathroom for the first time ever. Some frat bros moved into the unit above ours in the last few weeks, so this couldn't come at a better time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I think they just slam stuff around and stomp around on purpose. Enjoy your new house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never understand the things upstairs neighbors get up to. Odd creatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pepper Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Just moved to a house for the first time in my adult life. I've lived in apartments, townhomes, or duplexes all this time. Aside from the yard work, living in a house has been awesome! It's taken a while to get used to the fact that I don't have to worry about how loud my sneezes are and finally I started turning the tv up so that I can actually hear it rather straining and using closed caption to make sure I catch it all. Hope you enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 An event named Telling Slovenia and Slovakia Apart was recently hosted in London to help clear up the confusion between the two countries. From my reading of the report, they did not have much success, though, but well done for trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you enjoy! Heh, I've gotten so used to having subtitles on for shows that I turn them on even when I can hear it properly. Can't watch without them now.

Slovakia is a land locked country in Central Europe, used to be a part of Czechoslovakia before breaking up in the 90s. Slovenia is located in Southeastern Europe, was a part of the Yugoslavia before it's very tumultuous break up in the 90s.

JonSnow4President Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Can I just say what the ^*)% other drivers?!? The main highway in town has a 70 mph speed limit (previously 75), and is only a couple years old. It's well built, and with the students gone for the summer, traffic is extra light, and the weather was absolutely gorgeous today. I got stuck behind 2 people going 50 mph side by side today. I realized when I got to my exit that I could have exited onto the feeder (speed limit 55) and passed them without speeding. How the %@&%$ can you stand to drive like that?

Lizard Queen Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Sad! My roommate just moved out and took the cat with her -- he was hers but we bonded. She offered to let me adopt him, but unfortunately I already signed up to move into a no-pet apartment before I decided I wanted him. I'll only be there through the summer, however the cat may not be around by then. She got him as an emotional support animal and you can only have one of those (to my awareness)... she may take her friend's cat if it comes to that, and then give the current cat away. So, I'm hoping it doesn't come to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slovenia actually had the least tumultous separation of all the Ex-Yu countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
