I was fine with it back when it was just one ad that you could skip.

I was fine with it back when it was just two ads that you could skip.

I was fine with it back when it was just two ads, and you could skip one, and the other was 5 seconds long. 10 was a stretch, but I’m patient.

Without an adblocker, now it’s playing an unskippable, 10+ seconds long ad at the start AND at the end. Some ads are as long as 20 seconds. If the video is long enough, it dares to abruptly play an ad right in the middle. You can’t skip that one, either. We’re back to television content-to-ad ratios - the exact thing I was happy to dump once there was enough content on YouTube. I was patient. That wasn’t enough for them. They can suck a beehive.

I’m not an expert Chinologist, and it’s a huge country, so it might vary, but AFAIK tipping isn’t really a thing in China.

I so wanted to ridicule the ruble, but Forint is like the quarter of the value, still.

UPDATE: It’s a bit hard to go through every pixel, but what you can see on the photo is about ~250K HUF which is the equivalent of ~600 euros.

Then take Turkey

You underestimate the power of us, print debuggers.

Yeah, they can rip my avocados out from my cold dead hands.

But… if there’s a consistent system along which magic works which can be studied/researched/formulated, then isn’t it just… science?

Even if there was a single ad that I would want to click on, ever, I would still just simply look up the site instead. The only reason I’ve clicked an ad in the past 20 years was when I did it accidentally. They know that (as in, they know that the click ratio will be low) and I’m sure their goal is just for you to see the ad.

That, and cat hair is much finer.

The first Sims living room.

I remember some old movie that was on TV ~30 years ago. A terrorist group broke into some computer room to destroy the data. They shot the monitors to smithereens and ran away.

(AFAIR they weren’t Macs)

Thanks! I wish the developers at Meta could afford something similar.

Not the end of the world, but out of the few apps that don’t fit in the ‘pretty much everything’ group, messenger is one of them and I can’t share a good bunch of memes on Lemmy with my friends because of that. I usually end up screenshotting my own screen because of that.

You’re so right, it makes perfect sense. Thanks for the correction!

I’ve watched a video about this recently. The problem is, most detectors were based on X-rays in the past decades. Liquid explosives are pretty close to the density (and/or other properties) of water, and you can’t tell for sure whether there’s toothpaste or boom juice in that tube.

However, some airports started using expensive MRI MRI like X-ray* machines that can see stuff in more detail, plus, it lets you to make cross sections from different angles and therefore have a 3D model that you can rotate on your screen (it’s rather cool).

EDIT: I just realised someone else linked this, too. I would leave it here, it’s still educational.

A flaming house falls on him. Or, more realistically, a flaming Boeing.

My guess is shears. Or scissors for reed and shit.

You could shoot a long range missile and hit and it would still stay in the same state.

I’m probably ootl: why June specifically?
