I use an Adblocker and love it. But now I get a warning that I'm a cheap SOB and my contribution helps millions worldwide. I don't care about them, but after a couple of vids I got shut down. Maybe tomorrow I can tap in. Maybe not, we'll see. I suppose eventually I will be forced to subscribe to something and pay. I guess I can't complain (but I will): I've watched thousands of vids for free. Some of them saved me loads of money with DIY stuff. But, everyone needs more money. I get taxed or pay fees now that I never did years ago.
I should be looking for a bigger wheel barrow before the price goes up. A cheap one: it's only carrying paper, or 1's and 0's these days.

I'm driving my Datsun Truck now because it takes regular
and does 20 to the gallon.
My Land Rover takes the 90 and does 9 to the gallon.

Just filled the House Propane tank. Dreading the invoice
figure it'll be $600 +

I have been running adblocker + on chrome for years,
only issue with chrome is this website,
I have to run it on microsoft edge,

if a site does not like my adblocker, I have found I can open the site in incognito, and it works fine,


I listen to a lot of youtube with out any problems, in fact I don't get any issues at all on youtube runnign adblocker,

This is a very fresh link. There are ways to circumvent this too but I'm not techy enough to figure it out.

-either enable ads on the site or try its premium (paid) ad-free experience.-
So, it's not robbery, it's an "experience". I hate this new gen. Just being mean. It's their co., they can do what they want. It's winter in AZ. I want to spend more time outdoors anyway.
