Re: Hijack This Thread
I often gloss over commercials, but sometimes one catches my eye. Maybe it's because I am a musician but this one made me LOL. Bravo, Infiniti. You got my attention (though, sorry, not buying a car from them, at least for the foreseeable future).

I knew someone would.Not always. I HAD to find an exception.
10:10 on that watch would have blocked two of the three dials. Concept remains.

I don't know where else to put this, but I can't get it out of my mind. 15 year old girls, and their lives are down the drain for a 4 hour joyride.
Several friends of mine saw the aftermath, one was in the Rouses when it happened, one lives across the street from where the car was abandoned, and a bunch of them knew her personally. My heart is broken for all of them.

Re: Hijack This Thread
Unfortunately, I didnt get that message and I read the article. That was a seriously messed up crime. What did the children do after the carjacking? I hope the last hours before they were arrested were filled with terror and remorse.
I can’t tell from the picture - were the children white?

We’re in a hotel near Dullas Airport on our way to London and I’ve accidentally been stabbed at the base of my left thumb by a very pointy toothpick and I’m shocked at how painful it is! AND I’m left handed and I can’t even hold a fork!

Hands are full of stuff, including nerves. I’d get it checked out to avoid permanent nerve damage.

Put LOTS of sanitizer on it. Wash and squeeze when you can. Then smother with antibiotic ointment. Oh, and enjoy London!

Re: Hijack This Thread
Yeah, that one cracked me up, too. First, just the concept of the ad, but then the idea of all these kids doing a concert recital for a single person who's sitting in a car. That set up just really tickled me for some reason.northland10 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 19, 2022 1:18 pm I often gloss over commercials, but sometimes one catches my eye.

Re: Hijack This Thread
I have been to NOLA various times in the past so it's possible I used up a limit of views. I was just annoyed with them (the language was directed at them) but essentially making me go through a step, and get their ads, if was not going to be able to read the content anyway.sugar magnolia wrote: ↑Wed Mar 23, 2022 6:01 amYou got that on the NOLA.com site?

The workaround is to right click on a link and then open in incognito mode for that one time (any tracking info gets intercepted and temporarily saved separate, then discarded when closing the incognito window (applies to chrome browser, others have similar private capabilities)AndyinPA wrote: ↑Tue Mar 22, 2022 8:17 pmYeah, I run into that all the time.

The workaroun in general is to click on the lock icon in the address bar, look for the cookies jar menu entry and remove them from this site (description is for chrome browser, others will have similar destructive powers), note no need to brute force clean all cookies from all sites via browser menunorthland10 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 23, 2022 2:37 pmI have been to NOLA various times in the past so it's possible I used up a limit of views.

Re: Hijack This Thread
Yeah, I know the workaround by either specifically removing specific history items, or sometimes going incognito (or using a different browser user since some systems will recognize if you are using Incognito mode). This was more a rant that if they were going to paywall me, they did not need to make me go through the extra step of turning off Adblock to tell me that.RTH10260 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 23, 2022 2:46 pm The workaroun in general is to click on the lock icon in the address bar, look for the cookies jar menu entry and remove them from this site (description is for chrome browser, others will have similar destructive powers), note no need to brute force clean all cookies from all sites via browser menu
I assume the reasons for that behavior were unintentional as that was just the order of the code and they don't want to bother taking the time to change it, or intentional as they want to make sure they can still send you ads. Granted, my eyes are fixed on the subscribe popup so I am not reading their ads, but they get their hit and pay either way.
