How old are they? We bought an LG TV 1 or 2 years ago and it has a lot of online features and keeps prompting me to make an account and accept various terms and conditions for their advertising or to let them listen to the microphone and such. I think it's mostly optional but they don't make it easy to opt out

Hmm haven't seen that yet personally but I'm sure YouTube is always trying things to get around adblockers and probably A/B testing it on various accounts or countries. You could try making sure unlocks rules/definitions are up to date.

Unrelated but I also have been using sponsor block which skips over in-video sponsors which is nice. Though it's community updated so very new videos might not have the sponsor segments marked yet.

Me too, and I remember in the mid 2000's before flat screens took off the biggest CRT you could get was 36", or there may have been a 40" but it was ultra expensive. One thing though is that the wider aspect ratio of modern tvs inflates the size number if you were to watch 3:4 aspect shows on a modern tv you are losing a bunch of viewing area on the sides.

Regardless, modern tvs are indeed insanely huge, and I'm loving it.

This was a few years ago but I was able to google something like "vacuum repair" to find this place where we got ours. They had lots of used repaired ones but we had to hunt around the shop a bit til we found the one we liked

We went to a little shop that repairs vacuums and such and found an old Electrolux cannister vacuum from the 70s or 80s for relatively cheap. Apparently they are quite popular with people who clean houses professionally as they last a long time and are repairable. It's a bit of a pain to drag around the cannister but really not too bad over all and works very well.

It's measuring the distance to your nearest copy of Sid Myers alpha centari

How did you find crowdstrikes test plan?

I've seen some produce with a sticker showing PLU and a barcode. Is the barcode in that case just an encoding of the PLU or something grower specific?

Here in Canada at least they have both at the moment. You can use the drive thru as usual or order through the app and give them a code at the drive thru or just park in a numbered spot and have them bring it out to you without ever talking to someone

Thanks, now I'm thinking about two different classic Canadian movies, Canadian Bacon and Men With Brooms

This is verrry niche but Live from Moosejaw is what looks to be a YouTube comedy series that's just starting up about a long time local hockey broadcaster who gets saddled with a big city equivalent on his talk show. I enjoyed the teasers/setup they were showing before today's premiere episode https://youtube.com/@LivefromMooseJaw?si=BvgpECdEEltcKlY4
