What to do when you reach the end of the escalator? Fly away? Nah.

I've been willing to overlook this for the past few months but now it's to the point where it's seriously pissing me off. I'm talking about all the commercials on Youtube. God dammit I don't want to have to pay like what? 10-13 bucks a month for Youtube without the stupid commercials??? Okay, I understand why they need advertisements, but to me that's bullshit. I mean seems like every five minutes I have to watch a commercial... followed by another commercial!!!!

I run a pihole dns server and use adblock plus, so on my PC I never see ads on YouTube unless the person making the video talks about a sponsor.

I haven't gotten around to pointing my Roku to the pihole server, so I do see ads if I try to watch YouTube on my home theater.  I do that so rarely it's not worth the effort changing the network settings on the Roku.

Yeah, that is really annoying. Plus the stupid popup ads at the bottom blocking part of the screen! I would consider it a worthwhile nuisance if the content creators I like got any kind of decent ad revenue. But apparently they barely get anything anymore.

Radio conversation between a US Carrier group and the country of Spain, from 2004.

Currently being escorted by:
- Our dog
- Our food
- 2 beers
- and a canary that's currently asleep

What the captain says (listing all the ships and mission) made me suspicious, and looking it up that joke has been around maybe 100 years, told lots of different ways.

That's disappointing, but not surprising

Paul F Tompkins impersonating Werner Herzog. To quote one of the comments "Sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger doing an impression of Mr. Burns"

I gotta try this.

So Rick Moranis has returned... for a phone commercial.

It'll be worth it if Rick Moranis has a cameo in Deadpool 3.
