What is your workaround to avoid videos auto playing on websites?
  • uBlock also has the "eyedropper" (idk its proper name) that you can use to pick css blocks on the page and preview what it looks like with that block removed. If you find the block for the content you want to remove, you can save it so that future instances of that block just won't load in the first place. Works great for embedded chats and those annoying mid-article newsletter sign up flyovers.

  • What’s a place from your childhood that doesn’t exist anymore?
  • You perfectly described a water park in my home town, although mine closed down in the 1990s. It had a "silver bullet" slide, a bunch of conventional slides and a tube slide, a lazy river, a wave pool, a pretty decent arcade and a go-kart track, and probably a bunch of other stuff I don't remember from spending big chunks of my childhood summers there. Birthday parties and school trips, too.

    After it closed down, some of the slides were moved to a golf course across town that wanted to expand, but it wasn't as good and it was way too far to go by bus. The original park is the loading dock for a Home Depot now.

  • TIL The cast of FRIENDS each made $1M per episode in the final two seasons and now make $20M per year per cast member for reruns. The show still generates $1B/year for Warner Bros. All thanks to David
  • What's that? We have more power when we bargain as a collective? If only there were some sort of organization leveraging that power for workers ....

  • Folks who wear button up shirts: do you start buttoning from the top button or the bottom?
  • Same. Many of my shirts have an extra button sewn on at the bottom, so lining up from there is pretty much impossible.

  • What kind of toothpaste squeezer are you?
  • Like 95% of the reason that I buy the brand I do is because it still comes in the old foil tubes that I can push out from the bottom and roll up. It's probably confirmation bias but I feel like I waste less toothpaste that way.

    The other 5% is because my dentist told me to use that specific brand.

  • The best unnecessary tool
  • This is definitely my favourite of the weird single-application bike tools I own. Makes working with canti brakes and indexed shifters so much easier.
