Definitely up :)

I was working with a different definition of 'look at'. When reading a magazine (according to my definition), you will look at the ad, because you never know whether a given page will contain an ad or editorial content. Your eyes will fall upon the ad, and then you move on, likely not really taking it in unless it manages to catch your eye. Same with me and web ads. Most will barely register, as the majority is really not that interesting - but sometimes, I will take a closer look, and very occasionally even click on one.

Little bit of column A, little bit of column B. There are sites I appreciate which don't allow you to pay to disable ads - so I sometimes take a look at one or two.There are others where the ads get annoying, so I stay away, or leave when I've had enough of 35 animations slowing down my web browser.

I have yet to see an ad that managed compromise the safety of my computer (knocks on wood). I am aware that this has happened, but I would be really cross with BitDefender if it happened to me.

Makes you wonder how many ancient relics with great cultural / religious significance were actually just action figures...

Second unplugging all optional components (RAM is not optional) - and the video card in particular. A card that pulls more power than your power supply can provide could do exactly what you are seeing.

POST codes are beeps. None of those at all?

Yep. Actions speak (even) louder than words, and his track record on leaving office without a tantrum is... not great.

What do you care? You are dead.

In general, everything will stick around as long as you paid for it. Your email account and your web site will probably be unceremoniously deleted once the money runs out, and the domain name itself will be freed up. While you use your domain to point to your web site and your email account, they won't be associated forever: Once they expire, the name is available for someone else to fill it with new content, not to get access to your existing content.

Oooooor: You could bequeath all your online assets to a family member in your will (don't forget to give them all relevant passwords), possibly along with some money to keep paying for the domain registration, email- and web hosting.

The snap infrastructure is indeed what some object to the most.

To some extent, the coping mechanisms we (the old people) had to figure out ourselves did work. Stuff got done. The cost? Depression, anxiety, all that good stuff.

Yes, most of us survived - but life would have been so much better (and more productive) if we could have gotten the right help at the right time.

So, yes: We made it, it SUCKED, let's not make people go through this needlessly.

Or: Plenty of people have the problem, but nobody has figured it out.

And: Stack Overflow agrees that this is a dumb thing to want to do, anyway.

I am clearly not hip to popular culture.

Breezewood, PA, I believe.

The fun part is that the primaries seem to be specifically designed to have the parties do that to themselves rather than to each other.

Yep. Pessimistic about anything still being useful at this point, but hoping I am wrong.

Tchia was that for me. There was no point in the game where I felt pushed to do anything I felt was out of character for her, and gameplay and storyline harmonized beautifully.

Runner-up would be Horizon Forbidden West.

OK, turns out they use it much less in dog food, but also to some extent in cat food. So it does just come down to the flavor.

There is another reason to use cat food beyond the superior flavor (on which I am just going to trust you): Dog food will often contain bone meal, which is fine for dogs, but indigestible for humans (and cats). Can clog up your guts.

Point taken. Reddit habits die hard.

Absolutely do that. But still vote against Trump in November. And due to the aforementioned flaws, in a tight race, abstaining or voting 3rd party may be ideologically superior, but tactically ill-advised.
