Thorny_Insight,

Great tool but not cheap. Infact you probably couldn’t find a more expensive version. Knipex however is worth it. Generally my advice is to first buy a cheap tool and replace it with more expensive one after it breaks but with pliers it’s pay once, cry once situation. These are truly BIFL tools. The 100mm mini cobra pliers are awesome aswell.

Thorny_Insight,

There’s always mechanical issues with a 15 year old car. That’s why they cost 10k and no 50. I can use the savings to pay for a mechanic.

If there’s anything I’d change about it I understood he meant stuff like adding a lift kit and a front diff lock

Thorny_Insight,

2007 Nissan Navara King Cab (like Frontier in the US but diesel)

It’s a two seat, 4x4, all black pickup truck. Other than the few mechanical issues with it, I have no complaints. It’s basically my dream car and I truly don’t even know if there’s any other truck I’d rather have. Even the newer model is a bit meh and comes with all sorts of electronics I don’t need.

I had this code saved and had suggested it to others before but now I didn’t take my own advice and had been struggling with those pop-ups for the past few days. I hope this solves it.

EDIT: Doesn’t work. Still got the popup despite having all other extensions disabled and uBlock on default settings

Thorny_Insight,

I followed those instructions to the letter aswell as cleared all the cookies and I’m still getting the popup. I first came up with this code more than 3 months ago so it’s probably outdated by now.

Thorny_Insight,

YouTube updates their adblock detection script twice a day meaning you have to update the “quick fix” filter list twice a day aswell. There’s currently no permanent fix. It’s a cat and mouse game.

Thorny_Insight,

Watching youtube without ads is kind of like eating meat. I can’t morally justify my behavior, but I will keep doing it untill it becomes a real inconvenience. I can’t make a good faith argument about why youtube should serve me amazing video content for free.

Thorny_Insight, (edited )

Why is it that 100% 95% of the people coming after me are either from Lemmygrad or Hexbear?

Thorny_Insight,

Oh, you’re right. The pronouns confused me.

Well you’re from Hexbear as is the other person commenting here so my point still stands.

Thorny_Insight,

Yeah my apologies, the pronouns confused me. I rarely see anyone else put then next to their names except for people on those instances.

What’s with all of this I don’t believe anything being said anywhere crap

What do you mean?

Thorny_Insight,

Up untill Davel, every single user I got a reply from relating to stuff I said on that thread was either a Hexbear or Lemmygrad user and every user since Davel has been aswell.

Thorny_Insight,

I don’t mind a disagreement. Not at all. Infact I enjoy a good debate as long as both parties are doing it in good faith. This thread isn’t about that.

Thorny_Insight,

please be aware you’re often a very argumentative person

I’m well aware of that. It’s the reason I’m on Lemmy on the first place. I love a good, long debate but I still try and be polite and listen to the counter-arguments and engage with what people are saying instead of attacking them as a person.

Thorny_Insight,

Yeah I agree, but I don’t feel like that’s what I’m doing? My stance on the subject at hand is based on the evidence that’s available.

Thorny_Insight,

I just mean that usually when I say something controversial, the people arguing against that are from all over the place, but in this case the opposition seems to be coming from these two instances almost exclusively. Even in this thread, that’s been posted on lemmy.ml there’s still a disproportionate amount of Hexbear users replying. I can’t say for certain, but it sure feels like they’re looking for me rather than just stumbling across this post.

Thorny_Insight,

Yeah I agree. While my suspicion currently leans majorly towards Hamas, I have at no point made any absolute claims about it.

Thorny_Insight,

I don’t see how making my own instance solves anything. I’m not posting from lemmy.ml account to begin with.

Thorny_Insight,

That still doesn’t explain the disproportionate amount of replies from Hexbear and Lemmygrad users. You should see my inbox.

Thorny_Insight,

I appreciate that.

Thorny_Insight,

Yeah but then they’re banned and wrong

Thorny_Insight,

I’m not sure what that community would even be. I’m not interested about being surrounded by bunch of yes-men. I want my community to call me out on my bullsht because I’m going to do the same for them.

Thorny_Insight,

Blindingly obvious to everyone else except me, apparently.

Please educate me. I believe I’ve laid out my argument quite clearly. What is it that I’m wrong about exactly and what are you basing that on?

Thorny_Insight,

EMP would not affect devices that aren’t connected to the grid. Atleast I don’t think it would, and even if it did, there’s still plenty of older diesel powered machines that don’t need electricity to run such as some diesel heaters. If nothing else I could trade it for something more useful then.

Thorny_Insight,

I mostly stock up on items I’m using anyways such as rice, beans, noodles, sugar, coffee, crackers, honey, peanut butter etc. and I’m constantly using the oldest packages from my stock and replacing them with fresh ones.

Thorny_Insight,

Way longer than your average person but I’d start running out of supplies after few months too. I have food stocked up for few months, 90 litres of drinking water and a water filter, 120 litres of diesel plus what I have in the tank, enough fuel to run alchohol stove for few months aswell and I have a fireplace to keep myself warm basically indefinitely.

It’s kind of scary to think that even me whose somewhat of a prepper would run out of supplies quite quick. What does that mean for the average person who doesn’t even have a jug of water stored up.

Also, this is the kind of discussion that would fit well on !zombiesurvival
