It’s a relief that this thought occurred to someone else as well.

That occurred to me while writing my comment, as well, and I don’t like the implications.

I would imagine they have to ask you, yes. If the toilet can be flushed without authentication, they’d probably still have to ask you how.

I have no interest in one, but playing devil’s advocate, some might consider it more sanitary since you don’t have to touch the toilet to flush and have the choice of not being near it, hopefully avoiding any spray.

Also, if your guests use the restroom, you can startle them at any time.

If replacing an existing server, make sure to wipe the disk during install.

It’s too bad that, at least for me, your comment doesn’t come immediately after this one.

Sadly, no, due to it blocking via DNS. AFAIK the only way to block YouTube ads on TV is by sideloading a third party app.

100% on the same page, except that I do have and appreciate my pihole.

The last 1% of ads.

I was just joking, you seem satisfied with your situation; however, a pihole is rarely a bad option.

Then the solution is even simpler!

Sounds like someone has a pihole.

If that’s the case and the ads still work 1% of the time, maybe update the blocklist?

Sorry for party rocking.

Myspace Tom I know. Thank you!

The very first time I can remember getting spam, I was approximately seven. It was an email linking to a porn site, not that I understood that at the time; I don’t actually recall what enticed me to click - I think they referenced “playing in a jungle” and that sounded fun. The text said (roughly, it’s been over three decades) “come look at my site! I’m not wearing any clothes!” and linked to a site featuring several scantily clad individuals but, immediately on entry, a lady in high heels and nothing else.

I took the email at face value and responded, informing the surely real person sending it that shoes counted as clothes.

If I look up “Myspace Jim,” I get this: https://myspace.com/jim

Is that what you meant? Based on the result when I load the page, it doesn’t seem reference worthy, but I don’t know of anything else that would be a solid meme.

This isn’t meant to attack you or your comment, just resolve my own lack of knowledge.

For what it’s worth, when I read your comment, my thoughts went to “it’s worse than that, he’s dead, Jim, dead, Jim.”

This reminds me of once when I was playing the original EverQuest. Someone named Dunn entered the zone and everyone there started OOC broadcasting anything from “Dunn!” to “Dun dun duuuuuuuun!” I was young and sheltered and didn’t get the reference; I messaged the guy something like “what was that all about?” and apparently he didn’t, either. Probably pretty fun to be that popular for thirty seconds for no known reason, though.

We’d need some kind of a system to deal with that … Maybe one that would go … I don’t know, up? Is that right?

When I was young - between ages five and seven; I don’t remember the exact timeframe - I went on a school field trip to a nearby planetarium. It was the first time I’d ever been to one and I have a few formative memories from the experience, but they’re all lacking in detail.

One of those memories is of Leonard Nimoy being present. At the time, I don’t think I’d even heard of Star Trek and I certainly hadn’t seen it, so I didn’t know who that was. Some of the chaperones and a few of the other kids seemed impressed, though.

Now that I’m an adult, am a casual fan of Star Trek, and know of Leonard Nimoy, I’m pretty sure the person in question was just a member of planetarium staff wearing Spock ears and that either the staff or one of the chaperones joked about who it was to a gullible (especially me) crowd. I suspect him being there would have been a much bigger deal.

And that’s how I met Leonard Nimoy.

I like this take! I looked it up, though, and apparently it’s “tax free savings account.”

What is a TFSA?

If you’re that nitpicky, surely you should have altered “is” as well.
