Consent? That's just some woke word made up to damage family-owned businesses!

Them, probably.

If it were chmod 1777 it would be your mom after everyone had had their fun.

2. Use a mental block
Close your eyes for 8s - 25 min, and pretend not to hear anything

3. What? I can't hear you!
Why play one ad when you can play a dozen. Open multiple YouTube tabs at once and let the ads roll at the same time. A few minutes of noise for a whole few minutes of ad-free play

4. Use AdBlock Premium Plus
Of course, the best block is not loading the ads. Using the discount code AFFILIATEWHORE you can get a one year Pro plan for AdBlock Premium with six months free for just $169,- per year and enjoy the ad-free experience you deserve.

I work as a bartender in a live music venue in the Netherlands.

We, just like most festivals, used to always remove the caps from the water bottles, citing safety concerns (people would drop the bottle when empty but put the cap on, which is a nasty tripping hazard).

So a company started to make bottlecaps that clip to your pants, and most water vendors used a single size opening, which made this feasible. People held on to their cap, and could pause drinking.

Then water companies started to attach the cap to the bottle, to prevent litter, and the government issuing a mandate requiring us to charge per plastic unit.

So now we leave the caps on, but as guests return about 95% of bottles and cups to the bar (buying a drink without having a cup adds a 1 eur plastic surcharge), the safety hazard is basically gone.

As a bartender, I'd very much prefer bottles of water to cans. It allows guests to drink at their leasure, they're easier to transport and can't cause as much harm as a can (either by throwing or when squeezing it).

They are slightly visually less appealing than a cool can though, I'll give them that.

Do some online banking. If your balance goes down more than expected, it's probably compromised.

Most xkcd's are perfectly fitting for this magazine:

As a pedestrian and cyclist (aka Dutchman): fuck that noise

The UK will do anything to stand out, like creating their own country abbreviations instead of using the goddamn ISO.

"NTL" for "The Netherlands", really?

As an EU citizen, I'm very conflicted about the UK just rejoining the European Union.

Your administration made the weird decision to lean on a marginal difference on a referendum, and left with a whole lot of fuss and customised paperwork. Who's to say you won't do it again?

While I do like a stronger Union, the UK will likely try to get back the position they had before (with all kinds of exceptions), but the only way the UK should be allowed to rejoin (in my opinion), should be with a full commitment, not just "we're sort of joining but also not".

Nah, more like deleting explorer.exe.

There's isn't really a Windows equivalent for this, as Windows doesn't give you control on this level.

It'd be as if you could delete services.msc but also the runner behind it.

What the US calls drunk is just European for an afternoon toast.

Give 'em that sweet 4% global revenue fine after their IPO goes through would be a blast.

Ah, yeah, that one site known to be one of the reasons Stackoverflow was created

Bikes have lights on them too.

Kelvin: Zero is the freezing point.
Scientists: Of what?
Kelvin: Yes.

And a warning when you click on it

As someone who's had a vasectomy: it's very hard to not stick my dick in a total stranger. That MTV advert with the skates is a more than daily occurrence, and I don't even skate. Luckily, due to my vasectomy, there are no babies.

Only six STDs so far, so could be worse.

Don't flush kitchen tissue though, it doesn't disintegrate as toiletpaper does.

He's a selfish sociopath

Sure, being a thief is bad, but one case of theft doesn't instantly make him a CEO.
