I just went shopping on my lunch break for work lunch stuff. Why is it so damned hard in the US to get a loaf of REAL bread? If I were at home and had Aldi, their sourdough is three ingredients, as it should be. Every big box store the ingredients in a loaf of bread is longer than the the pre-amble to the constitution.

An add blocker will not work on YouTube as it will not play a video until you disable it.

I'm not having any issues. a few things could happen.
1. it starts the ad then within a couple seconds asked me if i want to skip it. then plays the video uninterrupted.
2. tells me i need to disable the ad blocker to watch the video. at which point i refresh the page 2 or 3 times and then fallow #1.
3. it disables the ad blocker for me, starts to play an ad, at which point i refresh the page 2 or 3 times until the video starts then turn the ad blocker back on and the video plays uninterrupted.

This sounds similar to what I do only I sweat and chant ' You will play, you will play...' louder and louder and poke the refresh button harder and harder until I forget what video I even wanted to watch.

Invidious.io doesn't let you access all features of youtube account but you can watch vids without ads at all.

You looking for a 24th scale taco?

You drink soda? Paint the clear bottle for practice.

Yeah a 24.

That's a great idea. I don't really drink soda but I can definitely find a few bottles

Usually can find something in the bakery section and not the bread aisle.

Hell yea. You know how many people pay for tgst and you got it free?

I see your point BUT these adds are very disgusting and talk basically softcore p**n. Saying things like "I wanted them take turns with...." And even worse crap. Kids are seeing this and yes, it is affecting their young minds especially boys who need to be brought up in manhood and not as cuckolds

If it were a flagship store with a bakery, you'd be correct. This one's probably 30 years old here in podunk.

You want another example of irony?

I said to my wife a couple of months ago, "We should get some airtags to put on our kids keys and other property, in case they lose them. I'll order some right now". She said "nah, we don't need them"

Then my daughter lost her car key fob, which also had a new victorinox and torch on it that I got her for Christmas. Anyway, $600+ to get a new key cut and programmed and the lost fob cancelled not including the others stuff she had on the keyring.

My wife then says, "do you want to order those airtags now" I said it's a bit fn late now

It doesn't end there.

I ordered the pack of airtags from Amazon but they keep getting delayed for whatever reason.
We have to give my daughter the spare and only key for her car as she hadn't been able to drive her car for about 3 weeks. Since the pack of airtags hadn't arrived yet, we went and bought a single airtag from the store which was more expensive but we didn't have a choice.

Fitted the airtags to the spare key and gave it to her. That same day, she finds the lost keys.

I didn't know whether to be happy or pissed off.

Well the saga continues. I contacted Amazon today to get a refund. They offered to replace the missing airtags and refunded the airtag keychains. About an hour later, the og order of airtags and keychains was delivered. I tried to cancel the resent order but it won't let me.

Stick an airtag on the Amazon van so YOU can track your packages from now on!

Glue the keys to her phone. If she does lose it just call it.

That's the way it goes. I've lost my wallet like that many times and cancelled everything in it and bought and replaced everything just to find it a week later. I'm also on my last SS card since I've lost 8 of them. I have 5 drivers licenses all of the same year haha

Hopefully you get those tags lol

Don't worry, soon there won't be car keys to lose anymore. It'll just be your cell phone that unlocks and starts your car. It's already an option on some. That same car will soon be analyzing your eyes to verify your not impaired and may choose (probably a wise decision) to deny you operation.
