Majority of Americans now use ad blockers

Does anyone ever actually click on an ad? Like "hey thats cool I wanna check it out/buy it right here right now"?

I have adblockers active everywhere and only disable then somtimes for specific sites that really don't work otherwise, but even if the unlikely case would come up that something is interesting I would just look it up separately? Mostly I just turn a blind eye on them anyway, but just wondering, some people gotta really click/buy from these ads? It just seems so surreal to me..

Forbidden Tech

No idea how and why but my dad once had a cable like that in his workshop.

Short story: we were having a party, bit drunk and wanted power for the bigger speakers, needed an extension, rummaged around and found this one. Of course didn't check the ends, plugged it in and then thought "oh what a weird male adapter there, lets take it...bzzzzt".

Have a tiny burn scar on my hand now, luckily nothing else happened. The cable got dismantled afterwards, but I still don't know why it was there in the first place, he is a pretty good handyman normally.

I think its a thing here in norway as well. Thats why they just increase the price in early october, just a month ahead of black week bullcrap. Have seen plenty of electronics "super discounted" to the same price they had in september/october

Tempolimit: Was wir von Dänemark lernen können

Deinen freien Willen kannst du dir sonst wohin stecken, wenn du damit den freien Willen anderer maßgeblich einschränkst. Z.B. in dem du viel zu schnell fährst und dadurch andere gefährdest, durch den Lärm störst, oder im schlimmsten Fall beim Unfall umbringst.

Eigentlich ein einfaches Prizip, der freie Wille zählt halt nicht nur für dich selbst. Aber da müsste man ja an andre Menschen denken, wo kommen wir denn da hin...

It confused me a bit when reading the Mistborn series. Wtf is aluminum and why have i never heard of that? Do they just call Aluminium differently because of story reasons? Did i miss something? Are the other metals correct?

Good books tho

Sorry, what?

1$ to be sure to get an interview? Doesnt even sound that bad? A small fee for a guaranteed interview, rather than hoping 1 in 20 even replies, sounds fine..

Can't enable mobile security settings

Wtf! Same situation for me!

Is this some more Asus bullshit? I am still mad that I can't unlock it

Edit: but also what is encrytion on normal mobile network supposed to be? Are calls somehow encrypted? I thought normal network is not encrypted anyway, how even, is there a key exchange or anything?
