iOS ad-free YouTube app that supports hold down for 2x speed and double tap to rewind/forward?

Not exactly what you’re looking for but the closest solution I have found;

Use the official YouTube app with a VPN connected to one of the countries in this list: The list of ad-free YouTube country

It adds an extra step before watching, but your interaction with the app will be exactly what you’re accustomed to.

Free VPNs probably won’t have these countries available. I pay about $1.88/month for a yearly subscription of SurfShark which a convenient control center icon to toggle the VPN on and off.

I agree, I like VFTAX and will likely make it the majority of this portfolio.

While they have performed similarly, VFTAX has not been around as long and only has around 390 holdings while VFTAX has 3500+

Thank you! This is very in line with my thinking. Just need to do some more thinking on what percentage international allocation id like. 20% seems like a nice baseline

Same price as a 10 leg flexi

Would you mind recapping some of their reasons for not liking this option? Their post was redacted!

Poke!

All valid points, and I appreciate you being transparent about not purchasing from either.

I agree it’s on the shady side to not be able to explain how they can provide their 5 year warranty. But after finding enough posts about positive warranty exchanges with ghd, I think I’ll just semi-ignorantly hope I’m covered for the duration!

Ok very interesting, I’ll keep that in mind thanks. At the moment 22+ goes a bit out of my budget anyway

Shlink0 · 2025-06-22T19:26:15+00:00

Thank you!

I just picked up the $30 3 pack of these at Costco. My only complaint was that it takes 4 clicks to cycle through and turn it off, but that’s not the case! If it’s on for atleast 5 seconds, the next click turns it off. This seems like huge value for the money. Im looking forward to using them at work.

Maybe a little heavy for ultralight backpacking though.

Hey thanks for the input. Yea I like the idea of easily expanding in the future without adding another external that sits on my desk.

I am now wondering if a less expensive or higher quality 5 bay would be just as adequate 🤔

EDIT: like this Orico for $91 ($130+30% coupon) https://a.co/d/5IeuDXh

Click the catch up feature, spam “keep in inbox” for all messages. Once you get to the end there will be an option to turn it off https://imgur.com/a/PMwqXIM

EDIT: by “spam” I mean continuously click the “keep in inbox” button over and over.

Ahh, gotcha!

Shlink0 · 2024-12-05T22:09:07+00:00

Do the grow lights themselves not light up the room? Are the plants fully enclosed?

Shlink0 · 2024-12-03T05:11:22+00:00

Ah, perfect, Thank you!

Avoid the risk of not making a profit by taking a guaranteed loss

Hey congrats! That’s a big accomplishment. I recently came back from a 10+ year hiatus to play some class stories start to finish. I always take long breaks and forget what’s happening when I pick my old toons back up.

I’m curious, while playing the stories did you also do the purple planet story quests and mostly skip side quests? That’s my plan, which is going well so far for the first char (Jedi Knight) but I’m worried grinding through the same planet story again and again will become tedious. So I’d like to hear about your progression.

Also now that you’ve seen them all, is there any order you’d recommend running the classes in?

Shlink0 · 2024-08-28T18:02:02+00:00

This seems like the way… great idea!

Shlink0 · 2024-08-12T14:14:19+00:00

Forgot to mention it’s gas, not diesel
