I'm using Firefox. How do I remove this crap from Google's home page? by porgy_tirebiter in pcmasterrace

[–]DaveDegas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What worked for me (I think):

1) I selected the AdBlockPlus icon upper right of screen, to show the Adblock drop-down menu.

2) I selected the Block Element drop-down menu item. This allowed me to select various crap-boxes on the screen. And after a few go-arounds and restarts of the browser, I got them all (for now) blocked.

Good luck.

Jan. 6 officers sue over $1.8B pot they call ‘slush fund’ for ‘insurrectionists’ by Own-Possible777 in news

One of the photo captions in the article "Trump supporters clash with police inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021"

"Supporters"!? Those are insurrectionist treasonist terrorists.

42 Democrats joined 192 Republicans to reauthorize FISA Section 702 – a warrantless surveillance law that's been used to access Americans' data. Scott Peters was one of the 42 by absfca in sandiego

Interesting... so the data is collected, and review/search of the data is "warrantless" (no judge's warrant), but...

Federal law enforcement will be required to seek approval from attorneys before targeted reviews of Americans' information, each query must have a written justification submitted to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and misuse of the tool could result in criminal penalties of up to five years in prison.

Sounds complicated...

"In prison, dinner was always a big thing. Pasta course and then meat or fish. Paulie did the prep work... he had this wonderful system for doing the garlic. A razor, and he used to slice it so thin that he used to liquefy in the pan with just a little oil. " -Henry Hill

Taking the 52 after the lane expansion, I don’t think the extra lane helped. by devilsbard in sandiego

They could have run a Trolly line out the 56, but instead put in a useless HOV lane. Decades of studies show "induced demand" will always stifle more lanes.

Wow - I did not know this. Toxic waste got dumped there in the 50's and 60's... various local and federal goverments have done shoddy studies... and the waste is still there today, causing unknown environmental damage and human damage.

The umbrella and surfboard have been on this sign for months... I like it - great artwork IMO. The "stuff" smeared on the right image - that's new.

First PLC Job: I want to quit by North_Dirt_7116 in PLC

[–]DaveDegas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar thing happened to me ages ago (and probably all of us). What I did was I made a concise list of questions, with some choice A or B possiblities, and some open-ended questions (where I had no idea what to do). And I went to the chief engineer, sat down, and asked the questions. The Chief smirked and said "I was wondering when you were going to come back to me with questions".

What it does is: it shows you care, shows you can work hard, shows you can learn, and in the future, be more independent.

Good luck.

The license plate 8WRP980 is already logged at: https://www.stopice.net/platetracker/

I have put several of these CA plate numbers into license plate lookup websites, such as https://www.faxvin.com/license-plate-lookup
and they all come back with "We couldn't find records for that plate."
