now trying to blame Ukraine

Blaming Russia was either stupid b/c putting the Nord Stream out of commission hurt Russia, or cynical b/c they thought we'd be stupid enough to buy that story. Blaming Ukraine has a basis in reality. https://www.reuters.com/world/us-had-intelligence-ukrainian-plan-attack-nord-stream-pipeline-washington-post-2023-06-06/ We may well have done it, as Biden promised, in concert with Ukraine or without them. https://www.wsj.com/video/video-biden-says-no-nord-stream-2-if-russia-invades-ukraine/B5942F2D-E4E5-4BD1-8CB3-8816A2ECAF19.html

If you're referring to the nukes-are-statistically-safe argument, then to be fair, you also have to take into account the scale of their failures.

Wind turbines can be located off shore. Energy can also be harvested from wave action.

• Fukushima
• Chernobyl
• 3-Mile Island to name a few

You need to login to each of them, then you can have them open in multiple tabs, windows, or browsers.

Usually, under the box containing the visual captcha, there's a headphone icon. Click that.

Try adding YT enhancer. I've got UBlock Origin and that installed. IDK which one is still blocking ads, but they're still blocked.

Dumbasses posting stupid shit don't read sourced or reasoned comments. They just fling more poo. Walk away.

The last laptop I bought is a Dell Inspiron from 2013. I got it at a ReStore (Habitat for Humanity) thrift shop for $125 ~2 yrs ago. i5 processor; built like a tank. Had to replace wifi chip b/c original was very slow. Got that on ebay for $25 (pkg of 5, but that's the only way they came). When W10 goes away, I'll make it a chromebook, if I haven't first figured out how to install Linux on it. If I need a usb c port, I'll find an adapter, as that would put less strain on my budget.

I freaken hate captchas. Goddam Google has put me through as many as a dozen before showing content. Audio captchas are faster, though. I get through on the first try with those.

No trouble for me using Yandex and AdGuard AdBlocker, either, fwiw.

Thanks! Freetube works great. Here are directions for importing YT subscriptions. https://docs.freetubeapp.io/usage/importing-subscriptions/

I got it once on Chrome. Haven't used Chrome for YT since. No trouble with FF and UBlock Origin.

A ct vi d dot o r g uses a server called netu, based in Romania. It seldom goes down.

thanks

Maybe comedy was the way they got it on air at that time. I seem to remember an article about the size of the bosom they gave Quark--much bigger than Moogie's. I also seem to remember the size of that bosom decreases during the episode.

I watch UK TV with a VPN--BBC, UKTV, Channel 4, ITV. You have to find a UK address for iplayer, but that's not too hard with a search engine. I started doing it with Surfshark, then BBC got better at recognizing VPNs. You need to do some homework around that, and don't believe most online advice, as it tends to be paid advertising.

My car has a manual transmission. I learned to drive on a manual transmission. I prefer it. When I drive a car with automatic transmission, I step on its nonexistent clutch.

For me, it echoed real life, when someone with power over you wants something you shouldn't have to and don't want to give. It was uncomfortable, and I'm glad they did it.
