So I have a conspiracy theory around that. Android used to put the volume slider at the top of the screen. At some point they moved it to the right side, and now blocks the skip button on YouTube. I won't doubt this was done on purpose, so if you lower the volume for an ad, you will be forced to watch more of it.

Anything presented by Simon Whistler.

I've seen a lot of bad things. But one that has always stuck with me was a guy studying.

I'm not talking about glancing down at a book. He had a textbook propped up on his steering wheel and was using a highlighter to mark in the book.

There are a lot of theaters that have regular Rocky Horror showing. Which combined I think would easily surpass this. Unfortunately, the article doesn't say when they started screening it, but I know Rocky Horror showing that go back in the 90s.

Don't forget the situations where you find a good blog post or article that you can actually follow along until halfway through you get an error that the documentation doesn't address. So you do some research and find out that they updated the commands for one of the dependency apps, so you try to piece together the updated documents with the original post, until something else breaks and you just end up giving up out of frustration.

Sounds like this man is about to hack a Gibson

Reminds me of a guy I knew who kept getting letters for a $10 parking fine he got while at university. He waited until they spent more in postage than the fine before paying it.

Wouldn't a fake prank fire extinguisher just be a normal fire extinguisher?

I've been using Sideload Channel Launcher since they started putting ads on the home screen. It's a simple clean layout that is easy to set up and get everything you want on it. It even has a icon you can add for power settings.

At least they give you a slip button, unlike Paramount+

The best way to discover new punk bands in the 90s was through comps. The Punk-O-Rama, Give Them the Boot, and Fat Wreck Chords compilations are the soundtrack of my teen years. But my favorites were the Nitro Records ones. Deep Thoughts and Go Ahead Punk... Make My Day were my favorites.

Also special shot out to Punk-O-Rama III
