If you need a VPN and you can pay a couple bucks a month I highly recommend Mullvad. Of course you should do your own research and decide whether you trust them enough to pass your internet traffic through them but I've found Mullvad to be low friction, cheap and transparent in their security practices.

Note: I want to be very clear I was not approached by them to post this in any way, I'm posting this because the UK age verification laws went into effect today and some people might need a vpn

A wizard that uses a really long monkey wrench for their magic staff. He primarily uses it for plumbing magic, so he’s had pretty solid gigs repairing plumbing for kings and counts. But most importantly, the staff is really good at cracking skulls and he is the only man I know that shows plumber’s crack while wearing wizard robes. (If you mention the latter, You get the prior)

If youtube is getting past ublock origin and demanding that you turn off your adblocker, here is a solution from reddit which worked for me: https://old.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/1hir4z6/youtube_filtering_again/m30vhjh/ After you uncheck the "ublock filters - quickfixes" box, make sure to also click "apply changes."

if you recheck the "ublock filters - quickfixes" box and click "apply changes," youtube will be able to detect the adblocker again, so i guess for now don't do that.

Edit from one day later:

They removed the comment, here are the steps they gave: 1. Open uBlock Origin's settings. I click on the shield to the right of the url bar and then on the gear icon in the popup menu to get there.

2. Go to the "Filter lists" tab of the settings page. Not "My filters."

3. Find where it says "Built-in," underneath that it should say " "uBlock filters" with a number out of five. Next to that "x/5," there should be an arrow either facing to the right or downwards. If it's facing to the right, click it so it faces downwards and expands the list of Built-in filters.

4. In that list, you will find "uBlock filters - Quick fixes." Uncheck the box to the left of these words. When the box is unchecked, click "Apply changes" at the top of the page. Refresh any pages where youtube was whining about your adblocker, hopefully the message is gone and you're able to watch without any ads.

Yesterday when I first posted this, reactivating the quickfixes allowed youtube to detect the adblocker, but as of today it looks like they've updated the quick fixes so that you don't need to deactivate them to avoid youtube's detection. So, instead of deactivating and reactivating the quick fixes, you can probably just manually update them by clicking the clock icon to the right of where it says "quick fixes"

The kitchen is decorated with nineteenth-century blue and white Dutch tiles and a set of copper pans. The ceramic cheese-making jug in the foreground was made by Stephen Pearce, a potter from County Cork.

*gently grabs Witchblr by the shoulders* It is okay for some things to not be perfect substitutes for other things. It is okay for there to be parts of something that you simply can't substitute out. It's okay for things to be hyperspecific. Drink some water.

Hey.

Hey.

You don't need to use a safety pin to thread elastic through that channel.

There's a tool for that, called a bodkin, which works better than a safety pin. There's even a variety of different kinds.

There’s 35 days till X-mas, which means it’s time for me to once again over commit on a bunch of hand made gifts because I am an insane person.

I have 10 co-workers. We are a small handyman crew and a question started going around, “if you were a tool, which one would you be?” It started off as this dumb personality quiz thing that we had some fun with and ended up on our official website. And I don’t know why, but at some point I thought, “wouldn’t it be cute if everyone had a patch of their chosen tool? That would be so fun!” And when I couldn’t easily find a place to make 10 individual custom patches for not very much money, my second thought was “well how hard could it be to make them?”

So on election night, as a means of stress coping, I decided to try to teach myself embroidery.

And like, it’s going ok?? I watched one youtube video but then kinda just went for it and I don’t know if I’m doing it “right” but they are definitely looking like something and I’m having a lot of fun, so I’m gonna just keep trusting the process!

I’m not sure yet how I’m going to finish their edges or what shape I’ll ultimately cut them in, but the main image is coming out mostly how I want them to look!

I’ve got four done, six to go and then a bunch of edging or something, hope I finish!
